6, Harry learns Chinese
(The storyline is completely fictional, the official must not sit in the right seat, if there is any similarity, it is purely a coincidence)
In Harry's small office, Jing Hao came back for a one-on-one tutoring session once a week. At the end of the homework discussion, Harry began to speak Chinese "It's good, you know, I started studying in the United States Chinese......"
He told Jing Hao in strange Chinese that he had always been interested in Chinese culture and looked forward to the opportunity to go to Beijing as a visiting professor or invited visiting scholar for two years, in order to realize this wish, he has insisted on learning Chinese for a year or two, but he has not learned much. He taught in the United States for three years, and at that time, he used the summer vacation to study at the Confucius Institute, practiced calligraphy, and studied oracle bone writing for a few days, but he did not have time to study Chinese seriously and massively. Now it is very good, there are unique conditions, Harry hopes that Jinghao, a native Chinese speaker, can give him some help and guidance, so that his Chinese level can be improved.
Harry liked Chinese and Chinese culture so much, which surprised Jing Hao, but he took her so seriously and worshipped her as a teacher, where did she dare to be.
In order to practice his spoken Chinese, two or three times after Harry and Jing Hao took classes alone, in addition to the main topic, as long as he had a little free time, he liked to intersperse English and Chinese. The two occasionally met in the library and campus cafeteria, and Harry always deliberately greeted and chatted with her in Chinese.
Although Harry is enthusiastic about learning Chinese, sometimes the words he says are really clear, but people can't understand his meaning, and the pronunciation is also very fun, for example, he always calls Oxford "Twist Town", always calls Jing Hao "really good", Jing Hao corrects him several times, he has not been able to change, the closest pronunciation is: Jin Hao. It can be seen that Chinese pronunciation is not easy for him.
Harry pronounced some of the words so earnestly that she wanted to laugh every time she heard them, but she couldn't help it, and always praised and encouraged him. This is how Harry treats his students, and this is something that Jing Hao learned and copied from Harry. I don't know how Harry communicates with other students, anyway, he talks to Jinghao, he never shows that he is a teacher, he has the right to speak, he is more intelligent, or he orders the students to do what they must do, he may have a skill that has been trained for many years, which can inspire the inner motivation and self-confidence of the students.
Just like Jinghao's mother criticized his father and said, Jinghao was indeed treated as a big child like a college student by his father since he was a child, which was unscientific and annoying. When she was a child, there was a period of time when Jinghao always felt that she could not meet her father's requirements and hopes, although as she grew up, her father's attitude towards her changed a lot, and the older she was, the more relaxed she became, but the feelings of that period of childhood seemed to be buried somewhere in the brain and heart. And Harry's attitude towards her and the way he communicated, from the first time he had a solo class, made Jing Hao feel so peaceful and comfortable, or rather, made her feel relaxed, safe, and even comfortable, although after every communication with him, she had to read a lot of articles and work hard to write papers, but she did not feel anxious or worried at all. Dad was also a college professor, and so was Harry, but they were really different.
