My son began to learn oral english this term. His teacher is an Amercian,called Allen.I can't judge his age,maybe more than 40.I am not sure.

Allen is an english teacher in an university .My son study oral english at Allen's home.his home is simple and crude,and it is very small too.he didn't buy too many things to decorate his home,just have some old Furnitures.Allen told me he only have 8 classes one week, so I can judge his wage is low.

However,Allen's charge is very low.In fact I think he can charge more, but he didn't. 6 students,200 rmb ,2 hours.17.5rmb one student per hour,In Zhengzhou,I never heard any foreigner charge such low.but Allen pay no attention about it.

If you think his class is bad, you are wrong.I have had watched his class several times .I remembered one class he taught children to know the difference between Jungle and Desert.he used maps, many Animal Toys he bought,computer cartoon,and pictures he drewd.the class was very interesting.and I could feel he prepared his class seriously.The children were very naughty,they even broke his sofa, but Allen said nothing about that.

so why Allen came here to teach english, not for money,not for comfortable life,maybe he came to China in order to find happiness.

Stay with children,he feel happy.Teaching, he feel happy.(maybe)
