How do students classify themselves in your country of origin? Do they have a term for poor or
rich students? Or smart or silly ones? Or fat or skinny ones? How do you feel about calling or
being called a name? How's the situation here in North America? Have you talked to a schoolkid
in Canada lately?
Unlike the adult, the children classify themselves depend on their interests. In their little empire,
the teacher is their king and decides the level of popular. They mostly rank the smart guy among
the best one. Seldom student does not have a nickname. Some are good, so the guy who was
being called feels a little proud of it. I had talked it with my daughter. She said that it is not the big deal.

2. Dictation
So weit talks about building sexual activity into a child's personal plan . But they 're 13 years old kids. Why are we
telling 13 year-old kids that's appropriate to make plans for sexual activity. It's actually illegal for 13 year-old kids
to have sex. It's called statutory rape. Why would we tell them that they can make a plan to do so, and this is a
political opinion. This is called instruction, evidence based instruction. This isn't about science, about facts. This is
about encouraging and activating. Children (of tender)attend two years become sexually available. It's called grooming.
3. email
Dear Ann,
Long time no see. How have you been? Is everything okay?
The email you sent me last week that mentioned you'd like to learn more about school life in Canada. Frankly. I'm
not familiar with it because I can't communicate with Judy's teacher.
You know that Judy came to Canada when she was at Grade 6. In China, she had to go to school at 6:30AM and had
to do several hours' homework each evening. She wore her nearsighted glasses at grade 5. We regretted that we
came to Canada too late because here is really children's paradise. They go to school at 8:45 AM and get it out at
3:15 PM. She seldom or never does her homework at home. For her, learning is easy as a pie. Contrary, she spends
a large amount of time to learn how to play and how to independent. She totally changes. Live in here is very hard
for the middle-aged Chinese. But it deserves.
Best regards
Yucho
