The town mouse liked the good life. He was dining on real cake! He told his friend, "Come dine with me!" The country mouse ate moss and nuts. They were tasty but the cake was the tastier. No, it was the tastiest! Then, a horrible cat came. They really had to look after themselves then!

A student wrote: "... I still remembered the condition that I joined in your class at the first time. At that time, I didn’t have confidence in my English speaking ability. But I found that I has gradually progressed since I took your class. I really like your style of conducting the classes. You always use humorous ways to lead us to enter the world of the textbook . Sometimes you shared your own related experiences to us, and those experiences really broaden my horizon. Sometimes you just acted in a play to help us understand what the textbook want to tell students, and let the whole class be surrounded by students’ laughter. And sometimes you told us a lot to let us think about some serious topics, and giving students chances to discuss with others and know more about them. Without a doubt, you are a really good teacher I have ever seen; and I’m very thankful for your teaching. Hoping I can take your class in the future~ "
WOW Thank you. So articulate!
