I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience With 76 students who would be my English literature class. Having taught in the US for 17 years, I have no doubt about my ability to hold their attention and to impress on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “stand up!” The entire class rose as I entered the room and I was somewhat confused about how to get them to sit down again, but once the embarrassment was over, I quickly regained my calmness and admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a strong sense of achievement.
My students kept diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually replaced by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn't teach us anything today. Perhaps her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a similar theme. “Didn't I teach them anything? I described the entire Western philosophy(哲学) and laid the historical background for all the works we will study in class,” I complained. “How should they say I didn't teach them anything?”
It was a long term, and it gradually became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher's job was to raise interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher's job was to provide exact information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
However, I also learned a lot, and the experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

Internet shopping is a new way of shopping. Nowadays, you can shop for just about anything from your armchair. Shopping on the Internet is becoming increasingly popular.
People can shop for a variety of products on the Internet. Physical products include items such as books, CDs, clothes and foods. These types of products are the most common purchases through the Internet. To find something on the Internet, people often use powerful computer tools called “search engines”. You can search for a type of product such as sports shoes, or a brand name, such as Nike. The search engine will give you a list of websites where you can find these products. These websites may be specialist shops such as a Nike shop, or they may be general stores, called malls,_which sell a variety of goods.
Internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper. The most important advantage is convenience. As the online shops are open 24 hours a day, you don't have te to queue with other shoppers at the checkout counters. Secondly, it is easy to find what you are looking for on the Internet. Finally, it is often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet.
The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality. Also, many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the opportunity to talk to friends. Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards, so Internet companies are now finding ways to make online payment safe.
