In the annual English Week of Hebei University, as one of the foreign teachers of Hebei University, Nikki also participated in this event. Nikki, 27, has lived in China for three years.
Nikki is one of the most popular teachers in the university. Nikki’s first stop in China was not Baoding. When she first came to China, she was an oral teacher in a training school in Tianjin. Two years later, the school recommend her to Baoding as a foreign teacher of Hebei University and continued to teach oral English. In order for students to learn in a pleasant atmosphere, Nikki often spends a long time preparing lessons. The students liked her very much and spoke highly of her. “As a teacher, I will try my best to teach every student well and let them learn more knowledge, but I don’t want them to just passively accept what I teach them, so I will try my best to make the classroom The atmosphere is active, so that students can master relevant knowledge in the process of playing without being boring.” Nikki said.
“When I first came to China, I was not comfortable with both the language and the living habits. When talking with my brother, I mentioned these things. My brother would encourage me every time and let me stick to it.” “I will be with my family Video chat on WeChat, I miss them very much, but there is no way, China and the United States are too far away.”
Now Nikki, who has lived in China for 3 years, has adapted to life here, but there are still people staring at her every time she walks on the street. “In the United States, no one knows whether you are a foreigner, whether you have white, yellow or dark skin. But in China, when you walk on the street, people will immediately know that you are a foreigner. I know they don’t Malice, just curiosity.”
Nikki said that she likes spending time with students, and sometimes invites students to watch movies in her apartment, and sometimes eats with students. Nikki’s favorite is the spicy hot pot. She said: “There is no hot and spicy pot in the United States. When I first came to China, I liked it. Although it’s spicy, it’s very enjoyable.” Except for class and In addition to helping students improve their oral English during meals, Nikki often goes to the English corner to take the initiative to communicate with students, and sometimes organizes some activities similar to English nights, so that students can have a good time while exercising their oral English skills.
New things are very attractive to Nikki. She will use her vacation to travel with her friends. She has already traveled to most parts of China, and she has also traveled to Southeast Asia, travelling to Myanmar and Thailand. After returning from travel, she likes to wash out the photos and put them on her wall. “Whenever I see these photos, I feel that I am walking in the world.”
