2013-11-28 My dandelion experience – PAULA

  然后，2009年夏天我有机会来北京做实习，我非常喜欢北京和北京的古老的历史和文化。北京对我有很大的影响。

2009年为了我的学业，我回国。在芬兰我没有机会继续学汉语。2011年我得研士学位，但是我不想找工作，我想学汉语。所以2011年我去哈尔滨的黑龙江大学学汉语。

  时间过去了和2013年来了。我在芬兰见面了Tiina，蒲公英中学的赞助者。她建议我来蒲公英中学志愿。我高高兴兴得答应。

在芬兰的时候我见面了三位访问蒲公英中学的人。每一个人说蒲公英中学非常特别的。我兴奋的开始准备我的离开。

  我去拿到签证的时候我发生了一个非常有意思的事：签证机关的官员对我非常有好，我觉得很奇怪因为在签证机关通常的不是这么有好，然后官员跟我说他去过蒲公英中学和对他来说蒲公英中学非常特别的。

  终于十月份来了，我来你们的学校。

  我的第一印象是蒲公英中学非常花花绿绿的。这里的气氛很友善和令人鼓舞的。每一个人热热情情得欢迎了我 。我从来没有看过那么友好的学生们和老师们。每一个人很尽力，特别的认真！我觉得蒲公英中学真的非常特别。

  我在蒲公英的经历不能比较，就是可以一劳永逸。最后我想说，我非常欣赏你们的工作，因为你们的工作对孩子们的前途有好处。你们的工作有很大的意义。

  我想感谢孩子们，师们和志愿者。我在蒲公英中学呆了两个月。在这两个月中我改变了。为了我的蒲公英的经历，我的生活更深。谢谢你们和谢谢学生们！

I’m very happy that I had a chance to volunteer in the Dandelion school. Students, teachers, and everybody at the Dandelion school were sincere, kind and inspiring people. I learned a lot! Much more than I expected. I am happy that I had a chance to teach students, and that everybody was very open and helpful to my research interests. I got more data for my research than I expected. Thank you all very much!

Only thing that I was not satisfied in the Dandelion school was the E-learning materials, and the fact that during the two months that I stayed in the Dandelion school, I did not have even one single chance to try them with the students. My Chinese was not good enough to organize all alone, and I felt that the school was not interested enough to help me. I wish you would use them in the future, because I truly feel that they are good for your students.

All the best for you! I hope we can meet again in the near future!
