9、s UNG.7、Explain the difference between常常 and 常 in English.More often than not 常常 and 常,as adverbs, are interchangeable in Chinese, but this does not mean they equal to each other. On some occasions they might be differe nt. Some people have eve n writte n long essays to differe ntiate them. Their ma

10、in differences lie in two points. The first is related to negative sentences. We tend tose 不常 rather tha n 不常常.The sec ond is related to imperative sen ten ces. Aga in 常 is preferred, for example常 回家看看 in stead of 常常回家看看.8、How can you choose proper media for yoiteaching?Proper media will defi nitely

11、 help our teach ing in side and outside the classroom. The learning objectivesfor that less on should be my first priority. Every activity in a less on should of course be decided by and for the LO. For example, if the LO is to learn the comparison ' pattern, a PowerPoint slideshoemiihore academ

12、ic and suitable.The teaching and learning content is also one of my con sideratio ns. For a brief introduction to Chinese New Year, for example, a video clip will certainly show much more than any other way such as a slideshow or story-telling.My studentsare ano ther big concern of mine. Their age,

13、learni ng abilities, lear ning styles, dema nds, motives, et ceter-they all can decide the use of the media.Ano ther point is how I prese nt my less on via a proper media. I believe that differe nt forms should be adapted to differe nt less ons or differe nt activities in a less on. Charts, PowerPoi

14、nt presentations, video clips and films are all of use so long as they fit the situati ons.And after each less on I n eed to re-exam it as well to see if I have chose n the right media for the right eve nt. And I n eed to pon der how I can improve my teach ing by employi ng suitable media.9、How can

15、you be fair in your class?We all know how important it is to be fair, but what are the criteria for being fair since there is no absolute fair ness. Therefore we, as teachers, have to set up a series of rules from the very beg inning of our teach ing and lear ning. The rules should be told and to al

16、l the class and be carried out by the same sta ndard -once rules are established, we cannot bend the rules as we wish. This means every one n eeds to know what is en couraged and what is not allowed so that they will be resp on sible for that they do, and no one will feel a certain person is preferr

17、ed or wronged. Say what you mean and mean what you say.Being fair also requires teachers to treat every single student equally. We cannot judge them by their abilities, races, economic statues, sexes, etc., nor by their previous behaviour or their past. In stead, every one should have the equal oppo

18、rt un ities to improve themselves. All the stude nts should be invo Ived in any class activities, though they might be invo Ived in differe nt ways.10、If a student keeps asking you questions in class, how will you solve it?First of all I will see what his or her questi ons are. If some questi ons ar

19、e typical ones asked by many lear ners of Chin ese Ian guage, I might an swer some of them briefly, because my an swers will ben efit the whole class as well. Or, if his or questi ons are related to the lear ning objectives of this less on, it would not harm if I an swer some of them.However, if I a

20、m sure that answering thisstudent questions would take too much time, or my possible answers would not help the rest of the class, I would then tell this pers on that we are actually in a class so I have to leave his or her questi ons behi nd. If he or she is still in terested after class, I would l

21、ove to an swer him or her.11、Will you ban phones in your class? Why or why not?I think it depends on a few preconditions, such as whom I teach, why they learn Chin ese, their age and their no rmal behaviour.One of the good things about the mobile phones-smart phones in particular -is that it is easy

22、 to download e-dictionaries onto them and look up a word on them. Also there are lots of useful apps available on li ne that will help stude nts with their Chin ese learning, especially the apps for learning Chinese characters.The thi ng is how I make sure they will use their phones properly. I thin

23、k I have to state it clearly as a rule in my first less on that phones will be allowed so long as they are properly used; however, when anyone is caught misusing their phone in the class, it will be regarded as misbehaviour of course, and the consequenee of that could include the confiscation of the

24、ir phone.I have to say even this is still a little bit ideal. If quite a few students normally do not behave themselves, I have to ban pho nes in the class, because the order in the class is one of the most important things. I don' think the students will have any reason to compla in about the b

25、an, because it will not violate any school rule.12、Which aspect of Chinese culture do you appreciate beSWhy?The external characteristics of Chinese culture are its unitarity, consistency and in clusive ness. Among them the in clusive ness fasci nates me the most, because I believe Chinese culture wo

26、uld not be as colourful as it looks if the inclusiveness were never one of its characteristics.Chinese culture was not only created by Han people. People of other ethnic groups created won derful cultures as well. Differe nt cultures met and in flue need each other- in a peaceful way usually. People

27、 lear nt from each other as well, absorb ing positive elements from other cultures; this made all cultures in China even more amazing. All of these cultures are parts of rich Chin ese culture.The in clusive ness of Chin ese culture also means the com muni cati on betwee n Chin ese culture and cultur

28、es of the rest of the world. Chinese people also took a leaf from their book such as adva need con cepts, systems, tech niq ues et cetera. These n ecessary compleme nts en riched Chin ese culture and pushedftb rward.Today the world is more like a village. There will be more and more com muni cati on

29、s among n ati ons and peoples. And becauseof the in clusive ness of Chin ese culture, I have the faith that it will be even fascinating and make its own contribution to this world.13、What are you going say when someone asks you do CWhyese eadogs'?First of all, it is a fact that some Chinese eat

30、dog, but on the other hand I don' stee any difference from eating other meats. Hope this is not offending you. People in the Westdon' etat dogs because, for them, dogs are pet no one eats their pet of course. But they might have misunderstanding of eating dogs in China.Firstly, not every Chi

31、nese person eats dogs on every day. As a matter of fact, many Chinese people do not eat dogs and dog meat is never a default meat in China - believe or no t, it is rare so some people would like to try it.Historically there is another reason because of the large population in China, sometime people

32、did not have eno ugh food to feed themselves, which means they had to eat whatever available in order to survive -from grass roots to tree barks, and from mice to dogs. That is probably why for most Chinese people basically accept eat ing any thi ng.Thirdly, as I said, eati ng dogs is of no differe

33、nce from eati ng other meats. Wester n people eat horses and venison. They eat pork as well, which Chin ese people will be definitely fine with that, though it will offend Muslims.What I am trying to say is that there is no such thing as eating the right meat. For me what is much worse than killing

34、and eating animals is the misunderstanding among the people.14、 How much will you allow yourself to be involved hthe' office gossip ' when you teach abroad?We all gossip, definitely. And no one can avoid it. Therefore it is not always a bad thing if I am involved in the office gossip. It all

35、 depends on what people gossip about If it is about, say, the life, I can share with them my understanding. This kind of invo Iveme nt surely creates a good atmosphere around me and my co-workers. If the gossip is about a specific person especially one of our colleagues, or a specific country, and i

36、n a nasty way, I will not be involved. In this case if I am asked to say what I th in k, I will say someth ing fair and end up this topic. My attitude or my tone will be a rem in der for the rest of the office. As adults they will find I am not in terested,so they will either leave me alone or end up the topic. Of course I will en thusiastically talk to them on ano ther topic whe n there is a cha nee, because that is what we should do as colleagues and frie
