Our English Tutors(Part One)

I am looking forward to the end of the English bridging course, however, I enjoy the lessons here actually. CELC are so considerate then the coordinator arrange four different teachers to our group Six. The four tutors are different at all from the teaching style to the life experience, however, what I think is in common is their patience and kindness. I am going to talk about our four nice tutors and hope our juniors( If any) are lucky enough to have their lessons.I will talk according prior to the first time I met them.
"Now you can follow your tutor to the tutorial room in the CELC." said the coordinator. "Group Six, Ms Kong!" I saw her waving to students behind her. According to the introduction to the tutor present, I found her the most beautiful one and I am very happy to become her students. Followed by her, we went to the classroom and did the mutual introduction among the class. In Ms Kong's class, the luckiest part of our bodies should be the mouth for she always brought some yummy food for us! I still remember how sweet I felt about the Scotland cupcake and the chocolate she gave us on the Valentine's Day. What she gave us is not only the food but also a lot of linguist knowledge and the method of essay writing. I am her mentee, so I also got some special treat! Ms Kong would print out our blog writing and correct every mistake we made. The first time I submitted the blog, what I receive was so frustrated. She gave me the saddest comment that I wrote a lot of Chinglish in the blog, which meant that there were too many direct Chinese-English translation in my blog. However, as time went by, I guess I do better! She is interesting person. She almost speak English in her daily life , so she downloaded a Chinese English Dictionary in order to have a better communication with us! Sometimes, we ,her mentees, are envied by some other students for Ms Kong will ask us to meet her after the lessons. She will ask us how our Singapore life goes and whether there is something that we need her help to do. My heart was warmed by her concern on us.
The second tutor I saw was Ms Sonali. Ms Sonali cannot speak Chinese, so this forced us to talk to her in English. What impressed me most was her opinion on understanding parents. The first oral report I gave was about that I found my mother secretly followed my Weibo(Micro Blog) since I came to Singapore. I talked about how I felt unhappy and my actions towards this. After the oral report, Ms Sonali told me that you should ask your mom to come to see you. I had a son, so I can understand her feeling. It is the first time you was far away for her and she must feel worried and concerned about you. She is your mother, what she did was quite natural because of her strong love to you. I learnt to be more understandable from Ms Sonali's advice. She was not a Chinese, so her accent is a little different from us which makes me feel like listening to her. I think I should say her accent is very cute( no offensive, really very cute! )She was a considerate tutor. She also brought us food twice which made me touched! The first time is when we were celebrating the Chinese New Year! I knew she did not celebrate this festival, but she should give us the chocolate as her wishes to us! The second time is when we watched the movie and she gave us chocolate and some nuts. She said I think you may got bored with the movie without something to chewed.
Because of the limitation of the blog word, I will introduce our Ms Yap and Mr Chang to you! Please look forward to it !!!!!
