Day 8- A good workout!

Today we had OIE lessons in the afternoon! learnt about the different places in China, naming them in an exercise given to us with the map of China. and since we dont really know where are all the provinces of China, we guessed our way through, and of course most of our answers were wrong. nonetheless, we were shown the correct answer and we learnt from our mistakes!

OIE lesson in the morning

Lunch in canteen!

Went jogging after class around the school area. a good workout after all the good food we ate here! then had dinner at our usual place, Lemon restaurant!

Reflections:
How many people would get the answers correct if they did the exercise we did in class during OIE lessons? out of ten maybe only 2 will get them right. China as our motherland so to speak, as we are all chinese, and our roots are all from China, we have to be able to identify the different parts of China, or at least try to know if they are in the north or south. in the future, when we go out and work. being able to have knowledge of china, even the basic geographical navigations of China, would certainly help us in our human relations. imagine yourself doing business with someone from Beijing, and you dont even know that Beijing is the capital city of China, how embarrassing would that be, let alone clinch the deal?

  1. If you want to do business with Chinese, you need to read up much more. The Chinese are very good at general knowledge, literature, politics and so on, they are well aware of alot of things, in comparison with Singaporean, who knows almost nothing outside what was taught in School. My experience with the Chinese is they can talk/discuss on every topic under the sun, they seemed to know so much and able to comment or give opinion on anything. When you interact with the China students there, you will find out that they actually know alot (as compared to us).
