Tell me about it. did you like it?
Sue: Oh, yes, very interesting.
Eliza: How was school?
Sue: Oh, actually, I don't teach at school.
I have taught.
. I teach at the English Institute.
Eliza: But you taught children, didn't you?
Sue: Yes. That's right.
But children in Taiwan Province are very different from those in the United States.
At least as far as study is concerned.
Many children in Taiwan Province go to special schools.
Eliza: They really study.
?
Sue: That's right.
After school, they go to a special college to study math or English.
They study hard there.
Arisha: Hmm. This sounds depressing to children. Do they never relax?
Sue: Of course.
You know, Eliza, I had the same idea before I went there.
I think maybe children in Taiwan Province study too much.
But now I work there and teach them, which I think is a good thing.
Their parents are very concerned about their education. More than American parents.
That's good. American children don't study enough.
Eliza: Asian culture attaches great importance to learning. I know.
Sue: So it's interesting for me to see that my parents are very concerned about education.
They will.
Ask their sons or daughters how they are doing after class.
I don't think this is a bad thing. I think this is a good thing.
In America, too many parents don't pay attention to it.
Eliza: But aren't the children tired?
I mean, they go to school all day, and then they go to school at night.
Sue: As an English teacher, I try my best to make the course interesting.
I try to have fun in class. Students often like it.
If students like it, they will learn more. So it was a good experience.
Eliza: Are the children in Taiwan Province obedient?
Sue: This is the stereotype of us Americans.
We think Asian children are very obedient and quiet.
But it's not true. There are also many naughty children.
Arisha: Hmm. I know you also teach in Costa Rica.
Do you prefer Costa Rica or Taiwan Province?
Sue: I don't know. In Costa Rica, I teach adults.
So this is a very different thing. So I really can't compare.
I heard that you teach English there.
Tell me, do you like it?
Sue: Yes, very interesting.
What kind of school is that?
Sue: I don't teach at school.
After teaching, I worked in an English training institution.
Are you teaching children?
Sue: Yes, that's right.
But children in Taiwan Province Province are very different from those in the United States.
At least in terms of reading.
Many children in Taiwan Province Province are here.
Everyone goes to cram school.
love
: they
Still studying?
Sue: That's right.
They go to cram schools to study math or English.
They study very hard there.
love
It sounds depressing to children. Don't they rest?
Sue: Of course I have a rest.
love
I thought so before I went.
I think children in Taiwan Province Province read too many books.
But now I work there and teach them, which I think is a good thing.
Their parents are very concerned about their children's education, much more than their American parents.
This is a good thing. American children don't read enough.
Lisa: Asian culture attaches great importance to learning. I know.
Sue: I find it interesting to see my parents care so much about education.
They will come to ask how my son or daughter is.
I don't think it's bad, it's good.
In America, quite a few parents don't care.
Lisa: But isn't the child exhausted?
They go to school during the day and go to cram school at night.
Sue: As an English teacher, I try to make my classes interesting.
I try to have fun with the whole class, and the students usually like it.
If students like it, they will learn a lot. So it was a good experience.
Lisa: Are all the children in Taiwan Province obedient?
Sue: That's us.
