I started teaching English abroad after graduating from Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts with a degree in English Literature. Although I originally planned to teach in Cambodia for a year, I discovered I had a passion for helping students around the world achieve their academic, professional and personal goals through language learning. I’ve been an Alo7 tutor since April 2017 and am currently living in South America.
I am Chinese-Japanese American, but sadly, I’m not trilingual. I grew up in a relatively “Western” household–no Tiger Moms but plenty of fried rice and a healthy dose of Asian guilt. My favorite part of English teaching is getting the opportunity to learn about my students’ daily lives, traditions and customs, so I’m very excited to be writing about Chinese culture on the Alo7 blog!
These are truly wonderful riddles to use. My favorite joke I like to use is What goes up but never comes down? Answer is: Your age! I truly like to use riddles and jokes to end my classes with. I shall try some of these riddles out in my classes. I really like the one to do with the hummingbird and the kite one.
Awesome joke! Thanks for sharing.
