Today is A day. We learned some new words - 筷子、盤子、叉子、刀子、碗。For 1st and 2nd periods, after we talked about the calendar, we asked questions such as 星期四回家的時候，你的房子有沒有電?(When you got home last Thursday, was there any power in your house?) 你的房子好不好?有沒有問題?(Is your house okay? Is there any damage/problem?) Then we used small whiteboards to practice those new words.
Of course we introduced a little bit about culture.
#1, Chinese people eat with bowls while American do with plates; Chinese people hold the bowl to the mouth and shavel the rice in while American lay the plate down and reach the food on the fork.
#2, The way Chinese hold the bowls is different from Americans. Chinese hold the bowls by the side; the thumb on the edge of the top of the bowl and the 4 fingers on the bottom stand of the bowl while most of American hold the bowls on the bottom. Why do Chinese people hold the bowl like that? Well, Chinese people love to drink HOT SOUP; it would be 'dangerous' if you hold the bowl on the bottom -you would get burned.
#3, Chinese bowls are different from American's; on the bottom of Chinese bowls there's a stand while American's there's not.
#4, Chinese people use chopsticks almost for everything; we can use them to cut food like a knife and to pick up food like fork.
After that, 1st period students worked as pair on the story on page 26; where they need to translate the 2nd paragraph and answer the question. 2nd period students worked as pair on the same story but they worked on the 1st paragraph instead.
3rd period students do the same procedures as the 1st and 2nd period students do but they worked on the story on page 43 of the textbook v.1; where they have to copy the story and translate it into English.
