INTRODUCTION

I have always wanted to take Chinese. My mom always tried to teach me, 
but it just did not work because I was not motivated. Therefore, I was 
ecstatic that I was able to take Chinese at Uva in a classroom setting 
with Tseng laoshi. I can honestly say that this class requires a lot of 
time an effort, but it is all worth it. It is one of the most challenging 
and rewarding experiences I have had so far. Tseng laoshi is a great 
teacher who brings alive the language. It is really great to go home and 
have my mom tell me that I write characters prettier than my dad!

My Most Excellent Work

1.	Lesson 4- Hobbies
2.	Lesson 7- Studying Chinese
3.	Lesson 8- School Life

Dialogues have always been a good way to practice writing characters 
and speaking the language. I chose the Lesson 4 passage because it was 
one of the funniest ones my partner and I ever did. Aya was an awesome 
partner. She would write out the characters and I would write out the 
pinyin and we helped each other out. Lesson 7 was a dialogue that resembled 
the help that Aya and I give each other. I also picked Lesson 8 because it 
was my first journal in Chinese.
