Homework for everyone’s entertainment.
老师布置的作业：写一篇关于一位很独特的人的文章。我想了很久也没有想出任何可写下的。我终于决定写自己的故事。我不是个自高自大的人，对于自己来说我不是独特的，而是个普通人。不过我常被人认为奇怪，尤其是我的朋友。
有一天，我走在路边时看见一只很可怜的鸭。它一身肮脏浑身脏脏的，我一见就想把它抱回家去洗。我的朋友说我傻，关心鸭无用。我向旁边一看，发现了那只鸭是从一个烤鸭饭馆跑出来的。到这时，我不但想把它洗干净，而且想救它的命。朋友正在哈哈大笑，我无法处理，终于不得不离开了。那只鸭后来被烤了。这种情况对于人家来说是小事，甚至可笑，他们看我的反应就会说我奇怪。
也许我实际上有点奇怪，但是我永远不认为奇怪是坏事。我对各种各样的事情都有不同的观点。我爱讨论，能学会用中文来争论我很高兴。
更新：红色字体为老师指出的错误。

After 2 weeks in school I’ve changed classes twice and in the end only take 5 classes with a total of 18 hours per week. The main Chinese class has the greatest teacher ever, teacher Zhang (张老师). She’s a middle aged woman who dresses formally, wears a big smile and doesn’t waste a minute of [...]

The Spring Festival is over and by now I’m almost certain that it’s some kind of mass psychosis. During all the 15 days of celebration there have been fireworks and yesterday the car alarms rang one last time to welcome the new year. I’ve heard that one person was killed and many others injured by [...]

Today’s homework is to write about a typical day in my Beijing life. Enjoy.
我每天早上六点半起床。早饭我常吃米酒汤或者馒头。因为大学有点儿远所以我差一刻八点应该去教室。虽然走路比较长久但是我喜欢。八点半上课。我们每天都有四节课、十二点半下课。下课以后我跟同学们一起去吃午饭。我们有时候在食堂吃、有时候在校园外面的饭店吃。然后我回去家。下午如果我累我休息一下。我常常用电脑编程、听音乐、上上网跟朋友们一起聊天儿、给爸爸妈妈发电邮。晚上我做饭、做作业、洗澡。我大概十一点钟睡觉、以后做梦奇妙。

It seems I was wrong about the group I’m in, it’s actually beginners level 1, just starting at lesson 16. This is perhaps less than I had hoped for, but we got the books today and the level seems about right. If it’s too easy (which I’m afraid it won’t be) I can move up [...]

Victory is near! I’m getting on a plane to Beijing in less than three weeks. I’ve got my visa but I haven’t looked for a place to live yet, which is a source of concern for my mother and a source of excitement for myself. The plan is to stay at a hotel the first [...]

我今天接到过一封信从北京语言大学。他们写“我们荣幸地通知您…我校同意接收您作为普通进修生来本校学习，学习的间自2006年9月1日至2007年7月31日”。虽然我是一点紧张但是我很高兴。看来我在9月真的去中国。我现在应该找一房间在北京。
Today I got a letter from BLCU. They wrote “we are pleased to inform you that … we have decided to enroll you to study at the College of Advanced Chinese Training as a General scholar student from September 1 2006 to July 31 2007″. Even though I’m a bit nervous I’m also [...]

Today was the last lesson of my evening classes in Mandarin which I have been taking this semester. We drank green tea and repeated some of what we’ve learned. Our teacher presented me with a Chinese calendar as a top of class reward, which I was very happy to receive. The short speech I gave [...]
