Working at NDI has been a huge honour and pleasure for me .Over the past years I have accumulated a whole bunch of interesting students and moments.
I can recall in one class, the topic was ‘dancing’, where I was listing several different types of dance upon the white board: hip-hop,Latin, salsa, break-dancing. As soon as I wrote “break-dancing” a student stood up in my class and started to dance!
It was an absolutely amazing experience and I greatly respected his courage to just get up and show the class what he could do. He then offered to teach me some really basic break-dancing moves, but I was a little scared that I would get my suit dirty.Besides,I would probably break my back! Maybe next time!

七、对于在新动态的工作和生活,你有什么收获和感想?
I have learnt many a thing whilst living in China and I have also brought with me a various amount of skills that I can apply to my teaching job. For example, my main strength that I developed from studying Drama at university is my ability to improvise, or to think and say something immediately without having to prepare, plan or think. This has proven to be particularly useful as an English teacher as students often have questions and information that I have not prepared for.
In addition to all of this, I often try my best to do exercises during class that help to improve a student’s ability to improvise, whether it be for English or their daily life; its great fun and an extremely useful skill to have.
