Thank Chinese Teacher

[中文版]

Dear Teacher,

Thanksgiving is coming soon! Although we don't have a big Thanksgiving meal in our family, I am still very happy to have a few days of rest with my family.

I am very grateful to be able to learn Chinese with you. Although it's been a short time, I feel that I have learned a lot in this semester's Chinese class. My level of Chinese may not be very high, but after attending the Chinese class, I have gained a deeper understanding of Chinese culture and also learned about the format of the AP exam. I hope I can work hard to strive for a score of 5!

We will all miss your humor and teaching. I really find your class very interesting and rewarding. Not just in the aspect of the language, but also in respect for Chinese culture. Thank you again for your effort, and I hope we can continue to learn happily in the remaining three classes!

Your student,

Zheng Ting'an

[中文版]

Bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, precious time flows. In 2023, Zaidao handed in a remarkable report card:

  • The editorial department expanded, now boasting 21 young journalists;
  • Nearly 400 articles published on the Zaidao website, introducing monthly creative themes for practicing writing skills;
  • Continued the tradition of respecting the elderly with the successful organization of the "Celebrating Lantern Festival with Grandparents" performance;
  • Formed the Zaidao Bamboo Dance Troupe, bringing Chinese folk dances to the Chinese Cultural Festival and the World Cultural Festival;
  • Hosted the first Junior Essay Competition at the Chinese Cultural Festival;
  • The Zaidao website accumulated a total of 120,000 clicks.

Looking ahead to 2024, the Zaidao team harbors grand visions:

  • To add English services, accept submissions in both Chinese and English for bilingual publication, promote Chinese culture, and facilitate cross-cultural exchanges;
  • To introduce video programs, interview new Chinese immigrants, and let our stories be seen by more people.

Setting off anew in the New Year! We thank the Zaidao team for their effort over the past year, and also appreciate all the seniors who have supported and helped Zaidao. To show our gratitude, we are launching the "Thank You Letter" series, filled with thanks and blessings. At the turn of the year, if you were to write a thank-you letter, who would you write to? Whom would you send your blessings to?
