As an exchange student, I have
been staying in a host family in Beijing for the past five months. The parents
are 36
in their mid-30s and the son just turned 5. In
exchange for room and board, I teach their son 37 .
Like in many of the other Chinese
families, he’s an
only child. And though he has 38 plastic trucks and boxes full of crayons, I
don’t know 39 he has the time to play.
When he’s not in the kindergarten, he’s taking after-school classes. On
the weekends, the boy goes to more classes. He has one day off―Sunday.
Compared to his schedule, I feel
like my childhood was 40 a waste of time. I learned how to climb trees and draw
cartoons. I wasn’t
learning Chinese at his age. But he and lots of other children are learning
English. Both his parents dream that he will have 41 jobs, higher pay, and
bigger houses.
The boy seems to take no interest
42
learning English.
He doesn’t need a teacher, but a playmate.
He is, 43
, only 5. When I
think about my life as a 5-year-old, I know for sure I wasn’t half as 44 as he is.
In the evening, when his parents 45 him to speak with me in
English, he gets 46
. He lies on the
floors, hides under the table and climbs on the furniture. When he finally
stops 47
, and starts
talking, it isn’t in
English, but it isn’t in
Chinese, 48
. He speaks in
his own language.
He 49 not be a very good student,
but I’m not a great teacher. I just
want to be his big brother 50 can speak in gibberish(胡言亂語) with him and help draw trucks, robots or
spiders.
