INTRODUCTION

This class has without a doubt become one of my favorites at the University, 
even though I did not expect to enjoy it as much as the classes for my major. 
I enjoy both the content of the material and the small class environment 
immensely. Although it requires a lot of time, not only on occasional nights, 
but every day, it has been well worth the extra effort. I find myself learning 
each week’s lesson more quickly than the last, and am now able to recall the 
Chinese characters with much more ease. One of the most useful benefits of the 
class is that it seems to have increased my memorizations skills- not only do 
I recall the Chinese characters without any problems, but I also seem to now 
remember everything in my other classes with much less effort.

My Most Excellent Work

1.	Lesson 5- Visiting Friends
2.	Lesson 4- Hobbies
3.	Lesson 8- School Life

The three essays I have listed above are my favorites among the dialogues and 
narratives that we have written in Chinese 101. I feel that Lesson 5 was the 
best narrative I wrote this semester, and allowed me to master the sentence 
structures we had learned in the preceding weeks. Lesson 4 forced me to not only 
learn, but to master the vocabulary of the chapter. It seems that I use the 
characters memorized in this lesson more than those from any others thus far. 
Lesson 8 was the most difficult narrative for me to write because it contained 
so many new grammatical structures that I had to take into account. However, upon 
its correction by Tseng laoshi, I feel that it is one of my best works.
