1. Volunteer teaching to motivated students

A friend of mine, high school English teacher, did some volunteer teaching in China for 3 weeks. A village of 1 million people, 3 hour plane ride west of a major city. She lived in the dormitory with the students and lived on rice and watermelon. She did not like the fish heads. She said the students would come up to her the next day and say; look Miss T, look Miss T, my notebook, my new words. She said they were ultra eager to learn English, unlike her high school students, both black and white, here in America.
