Students set up their accounts in iPals. They learned to communicate with their peers in China and with some other Chinese language learners in America. They were very excited because they sent one message to a student in China and expected to get her reply. |
 |
ePals is a great tool for students to learn a foreign language. Students are interested in sharing their learning experience and their culture with their peers in other countries. |

Students learned the Calligraphy, the only writing technique about four thousand years ago in China. To write characters, Chinese people used a brush, ink, paper and ink stone, known to as Four Treasures of the Study. |
 |
Though Chinese people don't’ use this technique to write characters any more, calligraphy is still popular and is considered as a unique art. |
 |
Students learned to identify the Four Treasures of the Study; learned to make ink with the ink stick and write “Happy Chinese New Year, and Good Luck” in Chinese with the traditional brushes. We had a lot of fun. Please take a look at the slide show. |
