Testimonials
Chinese culture is in stark contrast
to that of Western expectations with no single word to describe
it. With much emphasis placed upon its traditional values,
a strong communtiy spririt exists within society binding itself
together. Once beneath the layered exterior, one cannot help
but open their eyes to a new way of life.
As for
the city of Xi'an, this has to be one of the most beautiful
cities in China. Renown for being home to the Terracotta
warriors, it has plenty more to offer its visitors from the
untouched beauty of the countryside to the urban buzz that
surrounds the inner city. A popular tourist destination for
those interested in its historical background yet it is the
other aspects that will draw you closer to the city life
itself.
In terms
of the teaching side of things, this plays an equally important
role in the overall experience in China. Since many of the
students have never been outside of China before, a foreign
teacher presents them with an ideal opportunity to learn
about UK culture as well as the English language itself.
Though sometimes with teaching in particular, one may have
some tough days at work however it is very much part of the
learning experience and will improve your skills as a teacher.
At the
end of the day, it must be said that there are good and bad
things about any experience but if you are willing to make
the most of the opportunity then it can be very rewarding
indeed.
