Well, Jenny, the school year is almost over. We just have two more weeks before exams.<br />What do you plan to do this summer?<br />I'm going to teach English to some immigrants in the university's community service program.<br />That sounds interesting. Don't you need to speak a foreign language for a job like that?<br />No, I don't. I just have to present the language simply and give the students a chance to practice speaking.<br />Come to think of it, that's the way I was taught to speak Chinese.<br />But speaking Chinese didn't help me learn to read and write Chinese.<br />My students won't want to read and write English, at least not now. They are more interested in speaking.<br />You sound very knowledgeable about all of this. How do you know so much?<br />I took a teaching English as a second language course last year when you were in China.<br />I've also talked with the program administrators quite a lot. I think I would like to be an ESL teacher when I graduate.<br />Well, Jenny, the school year is almost over. We just have two more weeks before exams.
