Exchange program-China

Today, would be the day when a few Chinese Students from Sanfan Middle School in Beijing would arrive. I felt excited at the thought of them coming to visit us. Also,the classroom had an atmosphere filled with excitement.
The bell rings. It is now approaching 10.10am, the time when our Chinese buddies would come to our class as they had arrived this morning. Before long, we saw them around at the field, and me and Chin Wei brought our buddies on a short tour around the school. As we entered the class, I was expecting a warm welcome for the visitors from those in the class. Unfortunately, it was not as I had been expecting. Instead, a small tour specially for them was organized in no time.
The next period,Chinese had been changed to a free period as Mr Chew, our Chinese teacher, had to entertain the remainder of the visitors from China. Thus, Ze Xuan and Zi Xiang decided to try out and test how intelligent the visitors were by giving them questions that they themselves did not know the answers to. Amazingly, the visitors proved that they were good in maths and solved the questions,with little difficulty and also providing the correct answers. We played a few more games, for example,a game that required a big Chinese vocabulary as it requires you to think of a verb or noun that sounds the same or is the same as the last word of the previous noun or verb mentioned. A five second limit is given to all players.
At science lesson, my buddy had much difficulty understanding the teacher as they are used to having lessons taught in Chinese. I tried to translate the lesson but with little avail.
They will be here with us until next Friday, and with such a good start to their trip, I do believe that their trip will be an enjoyable one for them.

All of us in Beijing, China
