weekends

How are you?my friends~~~how about your weekends?~~`

Yesterday  we had a meal together with our Japanese teacher,since he is going to go back home soon.To be exact,i am not his student,but ,you know,i went  to attend his class a month ago~~~~he is about 60,a very kind and funny one.He is the only Japanese  teacher in our college,but strangely enough,i am the first one from another class to listen to his lessons~~~and the other three,they are also  from other classes~~we  even did not know each other before,it is  him brings we four together!We went to a self-service restaurant, it is a quite popular one in the city, we each had to pay 25yuan and could chose whatever we like, but not allowed to take anything outside~~~ and we did have a great time, talked much and ate much, maybe too much~~~~~~ since we met at the school gate, we are told not to speak English and Chinese, but Japanese only! My god, I am not that good at all, you know, we began to learn Japanese about two years ago (the second foreign language for us), but I don’t think I learnt much things for nearly one year, my level is still the same as my sophomore year, a shame~~ I know~~~ so you can imagine how we five communicate: Japanese words, sentences, or phrases, god knows, at last, nobody knows when we began to use English to help us ~~~so English, Japanese, body languages, we even  used pen ,and guess what, it helped a lot~! How considerate was Wu, he said next time he would like to bring more pens with him~~~ sometimes I used both the two languages in one sentence, sometimes we four did not get what the Mr. Dubian(his family name is Dubian, the teacher )the same time! Then he would explain to us again and again, until one of us got the idea, then we could explain to the others with English or Chinese, then everybody got the idea, we released, and then ate ~~~~a really unforgettable experience~~ right? Forgive us, we are not majors! We arrived at the restaurant at 11:20, when we finished, it was 1:40! I am not using hyperbole ~~~it is true. On our way back, we saw a university, actually it is more like a museum, there are lots of passages and pictures concerning the history of anti-Japanese wars there, when asked what it actually was, we chose to be frank, for the teacher had recognized the character of “日本 “ ,it is the same in Chinese and Japanese ,the teacher just said yes and kept silent then, for a little while we all regretted to tell the truth ,it is very common to see such museum in Yan ’an city, and we have no need to tell a liar .Minutes later, he told us that he was fully understand ,and we changed our topic~~~~ so, how to say, we can not forget history ,even we know it has nothing to do with him ,we felt a little strange ,we are not open minded enough? I don’t know whether the teacher got relived later or not, we do hope that part not influence him much, especially his good mood ~~`he promised to bring gifts for us in September, we are looking forward to seeing them and of course the teacher ~~  

So, what about you? Do you sometimes have such a feeling, something strange towards a Japanese friend? Next semester we will not have any Japanese classes any longer, I will try to keep the present level at least ~~~~

 

In the afternoon, a graduation ceremony was held in the auditoria; maybe it was because of my sentimentality, my eyes watered! Especially the speeches, touching and a little sad. Nothing more to say here; just give my best wishes for them. Take care, brothers and sisters.
