I had grade 1 this morning and in one of the two classes had a Chinese teacher sit in. The student behavior is like night and day, with and without the Chinese teacher. The Chinese teacher is not teaching the class only needs to sit in and the students behave. At time this makes me mad.

At lunch time I went out shopping and got some ice cream.

After lunch I had the grade 3. The second class was like cake for the students understood what I wanted and they did it.

Went to Ulla to talk about the lesson for the teachers at 5:00PM. I feel shy in these classes so Ulla does the main teaching and I write on the blackboard. Then we both go around and talk with the teachers to help them practice their English.

After the class we went to dinner where we meet the doctor Zhu. She is a lovely lady who seems to be a very good doctor. She is very good at English, so I should be able to see her with out Lucy. The dinner was Chinese so lots of food with no dish being finished.
