Today,I got up around 8:30,I went downstairs,Mom was cooking. "morning, Butterfly,did u sleep well last night?In our home,we gonna hug when we say good morning!" She hugged me warmly,I felt like my heart is close to hers, I have to say this family is full of love !
After a while,I chatted with her.She is a science teacher ,from the bottom of my heart,I think, she has a special understanding of education.Two lovely independent girls are the best prooves. When we referred to education,she nodded head and said:"it's really a big difference,most of parents in China protect children.You can't do this,you can't do that;In here,we not only protect,develop their abilities as well.We teach them how to use knife,how to ride a bike.They know how to take care of themselves.Maybe it would hurts,but they are geting sth from it,just keep practicing."
"Before I come here,my grandpa said you'd better eat at cateen,you can do nothing about cooking."
"Oh,no,what do you feel now?"
"I'm proud of myself,ahaha "
"You know Brack Obama,he said 'yes,we can!' I often encourage my students 'yes you can ' Butterfly,'yes you can '"
"I gonna learn swimming this summer vocation."
"In China,children are supposed to respect elder people, in here if you're talking with them,children maybe would say "I don't want to talk with you,you are so boring."
"But if every children do like this,as a teacher how do you deal with the noise they may make in the class?"
She definitely answered:"I'm teaching seven grade students,most of them follow me if I ask them to be quiet; For few extreme naughty students,I gonna say you are wasting time,now you have two choices: one sit here learn sth,second get out of the classroom and I'll write to your parents.Of course,some choose leave,it's Ok.You know,they are not possible to be a quality worker if they refuse their boss's requests. In the future,they'll know it."
"How do you think tell answer to students directly?"
"Well,I'd like to ask them why you do this,everything has a reason.Before I tell you the correct one,you have to tell me how do you think about ,or the answer is useless.The process you are exploring counts."
Before eating,in Danish we have to say "Va school "(just pronunciation) I fogot twice (oh,my gosh!) Emma was patient with me speaking Danish "Jeg elsker du " "please,butterfly,repeat again !" I can't stop laughing about my stupid tongue.
Ida gave me her handcraft,it's a necklace."see?" "You give to me?" "What do you think of it?" She put it on my hand," keep it,it costs me two weeks" I will never foget the innocent eyes when she kissed my hands.
Today,we went to the sea,picked up some shells. I'm so excited to touch the water,beautiful sea,you almost become one of clouds in the sky.Picure it in your mind.Moten's task:find stuff (Can't remember the name,it's a expensive sea food) So,we are lucky to taste it .(strange, I'm into spicy food) Mom prepared Christmas food for dinner,talk about life.Life is not always full of happiness,we just see the good side.We have to face it bad or good,no matter what happens,calm down,because it's life.Live in the moment,cherish it.Mom teached me!
Two days stayed with them, Experience the local life,hard to say "goodbye "May the flowers blooming in our heart, in this moment,I wanna say "Jeg elsker du"!
Good night
