Again we tossed the ball first to practice the conversation. The first student of each row asked the 2nd student 你好嗎? and the second student answered 很好/不好/馬馬虎虎/還可以。And then we played bingo game.
1. the teacher distribute a A4 paper to each student.
2. have the student fold this A4 paper into half in a "hamburger" way.
3. have the student draw 2x2 lines on the 1st side of the folded paper like tic-tac 9 boxes.
4. have the students to ask 9 students 你是誰?and then你好嗎? (6 minutes)
5. when the students were done the conversation, toss the ball to a student and ask 你是誰?and then你好嗎? Any student on their paper who has the name the teacher tossed the ball and asked the questions may cross out the name.
6. Continue to toss the ball randomly and ask students the questions until the students who has one line crossed out says "賓果"。
We repeated the game until the paper is filled out. (4 times)

August 26 & 27 Monday & Tuesday

Foreign Language Survey is a class to introduce basic greetings, numbers, colors, day of the week, month, and maybe animals in different languages such as Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish, German, and maybe Italian. Since I am a native Chinese speaker, we probably will learn more Chinese than in other languages.
Today we started to learn Chinese. We introduced the disclosure first and then we learned the following words.
