Nice, after a while, you know which question is coming next. You can kill a lot of English Corner by simply asking every question they ask you back. After awhile some realize and cut out the “can you use chopsticks?” crap.

If I can be nosy, can I ask where you are teaching? I’m teaching over at Changchun Teachers College, preparing kids for the IELTS, so I found your blog very interesting.

Silly or stupid questions as they are, that’s how some of us (Chinese) trying to communicate with others. Consider how we grown up, I’m not surprise those question been asked. Probably by now you have learned that we don’t really understand the word ‘privacy’ for we have none ourselves. We will learn, slowly, how to communicate and respect other people’s privacy. I have hard time to express myself in English but I hope you understand what I’m trying to say is, things will get better. We are learning.
