I do not often reveal that I know how to read, write, and speak Mandarin. Therefore, telling my students this extra bit of information about me is not a priority too.
I often have to control my facial expression every time my students complained about their assignments, gossiped about me, their group members and so on…
Most of the time, it was only after a few weeks into the lecture that my students would know. Most of the time, it was unintentional.
Student, in Mandarin.
“yeerrr…so troublesome…assignment like this also want us to do…”
Teacher, in English.
“it’s okay if you do not want to do it…I do not mind not marking it too.”
Student – small eye became big.
Teacher – smile smile and dismissed the class.
