Text U1L3: Your Life is What You Make It
After a long day, Zhang Tian finally got back to his small room,feeling tired. He had started working at seven in the morning and it was eight in the evening now. He had to prepare his lessons for the following day. This is a typical day for Zhang Tian. Coming to Guizhou Province to teach has been quite an experience for him.
Zhang Tian graduated from university and got a teacher's certificate last year. His parents, like most, hoped he would go to a big city to find a teaching job. Likewise, his friends all left his hometown for work in Shanghai or Beijing. Zhang Tian felt differently, however. He wanted to start a new lifestyle. He had met wonderful teachers from small villages during his early school years and he was inspired by them to go and teach where he was needed the most. For that reason he applied for and became a volunteer teacher in a village school. Bringing with him lots of books,clothes,and two pairs of trainers, Zhang Tian travelled to the village with an eager heart. He imagined all sorts of exciting things about living independently and teaching in a village.
However,not everything lived up to Zhang Tian's hopes. The school was much smaller than he had expected,with only three classrooms.In front of the classrooms,there was a playground which got dusty on windy days and muddy on rainy days. Living in the village was also more challenging than he had thought.The power and water supplies were unstable,so he could only shower every three or four days,and he had to learn how to cook.The thought of leaving once flashed through his mind,but he quickly gave up on the idea and found ways to deal with the challenges.
