Today I gave Wen-yu (鄧文瑜), a student in Class 314, a mock interview. She is going to attend an interview, put more precisely, a panel discussion, at National Central University next week. During our conversation, I was surprised to find that she, though quiet in class, could speak very fluent English. I was really impressed! I told her she should speak up more in class, not only because by doing so she can show her willingness to participate, but because she can set a good example to her classmates.
Usually, Chinese students don't want to stand out, fearing that others might think they are showing off. However, in the US, active participation is taken as a form of respct for the teacher.
