The Two Foreign Teachers Have Arrived at Our School£¡

By Premier Wang

On the morning of March 2nd, 2010, Tuesday, two foreign teachers, Oliver and Andrew from UK, were standing on the platform in front of the new teaching building. They introduced themselves to the teachers and students of No. 2 Middle School, Pingliang.,Gansu Province.

Like most people in our school, I will remember the exciting moment forever as this is the first time we have had native English speakers in our school. Being a key school of our city, with a history of more than half a century, our school should have had foreign teachers earlier.

Since I heard that foreign teachers would be invited to work at our school, I have been looking forward to meeting them as soon as possible. The moment I thought of their arrival this term, I became more and more excited during the holiday. Now my dream has come true and they have set foot on our campus.

Oliver and Andrew have made a good first impression. They like teaching and they are eager to work and most importantly, they are responsible in their jobs. Immediately after meeting Mr. Wang Zhongzheng in Xi'an, they asked him when they would start work.

Both of them spent hours studying their curriculum, timetables and teaching plans, asking for help from their Chinese assistants and colleagues whenever they had some questions.
