When I was a university student, I (attract) by the Chinese. So I got a job as a teacher in Wuhan three years ago. (think) back, I realize it was the students I met in the first year and Chinese university life in general gave me the deepest impression.
During my school days, I would rarely give up my spare time to any activity (connect) with study. Unless exams were approaching, my weekends were devoted to having fun or perhaps a part-time job. My Chinese students, the other hand, seemed to spend their entire waking hours studying. I understand that competition in Chinese universities is extremely fierce. Nonetheless, their energy and motivation put (I) to shame.
My first year in China was also my first year as a teacher. It was both challenging rewarding. One thing I know for certain is that my year in Wuhan changed me for the (good). Thanks to the politeness and (warm) of Chinese students, I overcame my fear of speaking in public and became more self-confident. Most (important), I met dozens of nice people and made many excellent friends.
