in my school in england, there were students whose families came from india, pakistan, poland, russia, and africa. and they had different types of religions: christians, hindus, muslims, sikhs, and jews.
suddenly, my world opened up and i became a different type of person. i wanted to know all about their lives – where they came from, what their parents did, and why they had come to my country.
today, china is opening up, and as a country you are in the world spotlight. many foreigners are fascinated by china and the lives of chinese people. and in turn, you should be interested in their lives - where they are from and what their countries are like.
never be afraid to ask questions. most foreigners are very happy to talk about their home countries, and share their knowledge and wisdom – and you can learn more about a country from one person than you can learn from fifty books.
i have learned a lot about education in china since coming to this country, and i am very grateful for the tremendous support our a-level centre has received from xinghai school. i have broadened my international field of vision. and in turn, by taking an interest in and embracing another culture, so you can broaden yours.
