Hello, everyone!How are you? I’m doing well. Life in China is great! I arrived two months ago. I was quite nervous then. But everyone here is so friendly and nice. Now I feel quite comfortable and relaxed. My students are wonderful and the other teachers are always helpful.

Jane is from Canada. She is teaching English in China. She is writing an e-mail to her family and friends back home.

My school is very big. I have many students in my class. In Canada, there are usually only 35 students in a class. And they move from classroom to classroom for their classes. But in China, the teachers move!Chinese students work very hard. They usually start school at 8:00 a.m. and finish at 5:00 p.m. Chinese teachers work very hard, too.

I’m so happy to be in China. I am learning so much here. My students often teach me Chinese. They also teach me about their culture. It’s so interesting!I visited the Great Wall last month. Look at my picture.Wo ai Zhongguo!

I miss you all!Jane
