It seems I can only write Chinglish today. Good thing I only have to give my students a test this afternoon, and therefore don’t actually need to speak. So long as I can write the topic on the blackboard in something approaching passable English, I’m good…..
Anyway, I’m really liking the huge emphasis they’re putting on environmental protection with this one. Ecotourism should be a good thing for Yanqing to develop.
