Topic #1 - Getting to Know You

Hi Class,

Welcome to Intermediate Composition Section 4 Summer 2012!!  I am really excited to get to know each of you through our class blog and hope you will enjoy blogging and sharing your thoughts.  In our first blog I would like each of you to introduce yourself - where you came from, your family, your educational or work background, your major you would like to study, and anything else interesting about yourself.

As for myself, I have been teaching ESL for about 8 years and love working with international students.  I taught for many years, then took a break to raise my children, and now am back to teaching.  I am married and have three daughters ages 20, 17, and 13.  I am a Chinese-American; my parents came to America from China in the 1950's as foreign students.  Then my brother and I were born here, so we are considered 2nd generation Chinese-Americans. My children are also born here and are considered 3rd generation Chinese-Americans.   Besides the U.S., I have taught in Taiwan and China.  I have also traveled to Hong Kong, the Philippines, Canada, Mexico, and different parts of the U.S..

I think I am pretty adventurous in trying new things.  I am always the first in my family to try a new food, go to a new restaurant, meet new people, visit a new show or attraction, or go to a new museum.  I also enjoy doing things with my hands.  I like to paint, garden, cook, sew and make scrapbooks.

What about you?

:)  Mrs. Tong
