Notes taken by Claire
Tonight I just had a great dinner with someof my friends and we had dinner in a hotel called Panguqixing, so it soundslike it’s a really good hotel. I think that if you are in Beijing, you must’veheard about this hotel. We had some seafood buffet. Buffet means that you cantake whatever you want, you know, as much as you want. I will be very busy inBeijing. Of course I will do EMF as well as usual, and also give you classeslive. And also at the same time I have to meet with different departments andtalk about the next move, what are we going to present. There will be a lotinteresting, interaction and also the live class. So I have to meet withdifferent departments and also we are going to have many dinners, becausehaving dinner is a really good way to show your appreciations. We Chinesepeople like to discuss some important matters over the table. Tomorrow, I amgoing to Haidianqu, we are going to have a seminar, like a language teachingseminar. Thursday afternoon, I am going to the middle school affiliated toPeople’s University. They are in the Junior 2, around maybe 15 years old.Pretty young, but they don’t think so. They think they are adults, they thinkthat they know everything, so in our opinion they might be a little bitover-reactive, I would say, kind of rebellious, and too eager to draw everybody’sattention, have a bigger goal and always want to be a over-achiever. Those areall the things that they are going to encounter, things that they have toencounter on their way to maturity. So I think by sharing my story, they mighttake my story as an example, as a touchstone, so they can re-calibrate. Andthen they have to switch, or do a little bit modification, adjustment. So that’swhat I am going to do this week. And I really enjoy the opportunity tocommunicate with the young people, the next generation, because I think, beinga teacher, your obligation, our responsibility is to pass your experience andyour wisdom, pass them on to the next generation. Alright, just wait and see. Ialways hoped that I would have some time to just do some sightseeing, or justgo around, or just smell the flowers. But every time, I was just running out oftime. So I don’t know, if I can manage some time this time. But I will try. So Iwould like to visit the Forbidden City again. I went to the Forbidden City withmy girlfriend in my college and it’s been almost 10 years, more than 10 years. Ihaven’t been there again, so I wanna visit there again alone, really take somemoment. I want to take some time to really experience the history of ForbiddenCity all alone. I think that’s really a necessary some time for you to have atrip just by yourself, because it’s an interaction between you and nature. Youcan focus on all the views, focus on all the histories, all the cultures.
Unit 43 Talking About Dressing
I think it maybe a little over-rated.It sounds a little bit like cliché. The way you dress actually tells people whoyou are. I like to wear those clothes and pants with a lot of pocket so I canhave a lot of space for me to store things, because usually when I go out, Ihave a lot of things I have to take. 2 phones, 3 numbers, and I have earphones,keys, a lot of other stuff. So I need to have a lot of pockets. I am a practicalperson.

小麦老师解读：3月13日的EMF会教大家如何有感情的描述。大家在说英语的时候应该加点感情在里面。会让大家的表达更加地道。关键不是词汇量大不大，而是看如何遣词造句。男性和女性表达方式也有区别。女人说话的特点就是话多，男人话少比较阳刚。大家可以在平时听英语麦克风的时候留意一下男女说话风格有何不同。
I hate to say goodbye, but I haveto. But the good thing is we are gonna meet each other very soon, just aftertwo days. Until we see each other next time, take care and I love you all. 带了感情的告别方式
I know that before you go to sleepsome of you will read EMF again, try to score a better score, and share it tothe group, and check upon each other. So see you next time, have a nice day,Bye bye!
