Oohs and Aahs - or Why I Love Teaching Chinese Students!


Power point presentation...pretend you are a marriage counselor and Susan Carson comes to you seeking your advice on..

Which one should she marry?

Slide one - described the girl...as each point was projected on the screen, the students would spontaneously ooh and aah.

Example: The would-be-wedded lady was a policewoman. When that word bounced onto the slide, the students just laughed and oohed.

When her height was shown, there was totally oohing, laughing, chatting.

When the salary or personality characterics of each of the different men was shown, there would be loud oohs and aahs, or clapping or delightful chatter.



I shouldn't get paid to have this much fun....I should pay the university for this great blessing!
