the second personal literacy

The second personal literacy I have is interprets Chinese words to American students. I am glad to see that Michigan State University provides Chinese classes to students, and so many American students would like to learn Chinese language. A Chinese student created “language exchange club” last semester in Owen Hall, which is to provide an opportunity for American students to practice Chinese language, and an opportunity for Chinese students to practice English speaking. I am the member of this club, and each Wednesday I talk with many American students in basement of Owen Hall. These American students usually are taking Chinese class in MSU; some of them cannot express their thinking, others are doing good job that they understand what I say in Chinese and they can make an excellent Chinese sentence to express their ideas; there are few American geniuses whose Chinese speaking is almost perfect, even though they just learn this foreign language no more than two years. I am very happy to help them by interpreting some Chinese words and sentences. I also teach them some Chinese idioms, introduce lots of Chinese cultures, and provide assistance on their homework. The weekly meeting makes a lot of fun and helps me to make many American friends.
