Chinese, English, and ICT

It is very essential for students to learn a 3^rd language, maybe 4^th to some of us, and it is Chinese. Chinese is now the 2^nd common language in the whole world. We are really grateful to have Wu Lao Shi (Mr. Allen) as our Chinese teacher because he is very funny and nice. Chinese is not an easy subject, which means we students have to focus a lot in class in order to learn this subject. Despite that, we are also informed with some Chinese movies once or twice a month, it is an honor to watch them because we can learn Chinese even more from them.

AIS students get to learn a variety of skills in ICT. This is also an important subject. We learn it now and will absolutely apply it to the future. It is very exciting in ICT because we can express ourselves through our poster designs, models and projects. Besides Art, ICT is also a way to show our artistic talent.

The most essential subject in school is Language Arts. A lot of skills are required in this subject. Everyday we have bell work, in which we have to write a paragraph with a non-stop speed for five minutes. We read interesting non-fiction stories, answer questions about the stories by making a poster, then it comes the presentation. We learn a lot of things in Language Arts, we discover a new idiom every day and try to understand it by composing a sentence. The thing that makes Language Arts more fun is our dear teacher, Mr. Patrick. He was born to be hilarious, nice and very talented. We all find it very significant to read books and our Language Arts reads books all his life, which is fantastic.

Below are some interviews of our English and Chinese teachers. Unfortunately, we don't have an interview of our ICT teacher, Mr. Michael.
