I live with my grandmother in a Beijing yard house. One day last year, I was surprised to see a big foreigner coming out of the house next door to ours. He was very tall with short brown hair and a pair of glasses. The first time I saw him, I was too shy to speak to him. “My English is too bad!” I thought. My grandmother told me that he had just moved into our yard. “I don’t like it!” she said, “Foreigners aren’t like us. Maybe he’ll play loud music and have parties every night! I’m sure he’s going to cause trouble.” Several days later, I met the foreigner as I was walking home after work.“Hello!”he said(in Chinese!).“My name"s Tony. I"ve just moved into the house next door to yours.”While I was wondering what to say, he continued, “There’s a nice bar down the road. Why don’t you and your family come and have dinner with me?” “Bars are bad places,” said my grandmother when I told her, but we decided to go. The bar was not at all what I had expected. It was in a beautiful little yard house, with several large bookshelves and pictures of Tibet on the walls, Several Chinese people and foreigners were sitting drinking or reading books. I noticed that some of the foreigners were speaking Chinese in a low voice to each other! “Oh, what a civilized place!” my grandmother exclaimed. The bar served special “hutong pizzas”.

It was in August 1999 that I decided to come to China to work as a language teacher. I taught in Zhongshan City, Guangdong for six months before moving to Ningbo. I came to Wanli University in 2000, and I taught there for five years. My time in Ningbo is great. I’ve met many wonderful Chinese teachers.I came to China with the idea of helping Chinese friends learn English better, and I have achieved this many times over. I’ve traveled to many places in China, and I find that Ningbo is my favorite place. When I first came to Ningbo in 2000, the downtown area was under a lot of construction. It wasn’t as clean as it is now, however, I knew that this was a great city to live in. When I arrived, there was one McDonalds, and three KFC’s. But we didn’t get a Starbucks until 2003. I’ve really enjoyed spending my time here, especially now that I have found my beautiful wife, and we will be having our first child in Ningbo . Maybe she or he will learn Ningbo Hua, to talk with the grandparents. While staying in Ningbo, I have noticed that many people can understand English, but are very shy to speak out. I’m telling you now, it is only a language, and don’t be afraid to talk, just remember, “Nobody is perfect. ” |
