Group Dinner to Celebrate Spring Festival at Keats

  • Liubing
  • January 31, 2014

It is widely known that the Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, this year’s Spring Festival fell on the day of Jan 31st, which is earlier than before. Keats School invited all the teachers and students to celebrate the Spring Festival on Jan 24th.

At 6pm, we gathered together at the school and then walked to a Chinese restaurant on Dongfengdong Road. The restaurant was full of people greeting each other and sending out their best wishes for the new year. You may wonder why people go to a restaurant to have dinner instead of having the dinner at home. Isn’t the New Year’s Eve Dinner supposed to be taken at home? It used to be but now the tradition has changed a bit. In the past, all family members make dumplings together. However, now all the restaurants are fully booked one month in advance and it is really hard to find a table if you just walk in. Now Chinese people are getting rich and eating in a restaurant shows the affluence of life. They can order whatever they like to give a treat to themselves for a year of hardworking. Chinese people do not need to worry about hassles of preparing the food and washing the dishes afterwards. After the dinner at a restaurant, families go back home and watch the annual gala show on CCTV.

Our tables were next to the windows on the 2nd floor. When all the students and teachers arrived, all the tasty food was already there, awaiting for the celebration. We ordered the famous Sweet and Sour Fish, Yunnan-style steamed chicken and braised beef with brown sauce, etc. The teachers introduced the names of all the Chinese dishes and their ways of cooking, as well as their importance in celebrating the Spring Festival. Chatting and eating, the students enjoyed the dinner and this could be a special experience while they study Chinese in China. Students and teachers also took pictures to appreciate the special moment.

Finally, we expressed our wishes to all the students and everyone made a wish for the year of 2014. We believe the group dinner can be special to all of us and we will hold more events like this to help the students get to know Chinese language and Chinese culture.

Kunming is a fantastic city. The weather here is great. The school is excellent. The instructors are very helpful, very friendly. I strongly recommend that anybody who is looking for a Chinese language school in China come here to study. Kunming and Keats school are much better than any other place.

I think the Chinese learning environment here is great. The teaching methods are also very interactive and fun. What I particularly enjoy here is the fact that my teacher does not stick to the textbook. We spend a lot of time discussing general topics, such as Chinese culture, world news, typical expressions used by local people. We also discuss social and economic topics.

I took the one-on-one Intensive Chinese class for 6 hours a day. The classes are very interesting. The teachers are caring and the content the teacher teaches me is suitable for my level. It is an easy way to learn Mandarin. I have a lot of time practicing Chinese in class. The food is great here. I have improved my Chinese through this program at Keats.

Before I came to Keats School, I had no confidence in my Chinese proficiency. I did not have the confidence to speak Mandarin Chinese and chat with Chinese people. However, after 4 months of study at Keats, I become more and more confident in speaking Chinese now. Studying Chinese in China at Keats School has been the best decision I have ever made. There are many games in the class, and my teacher’s teaching methods are also very interesting. My experience at Keats School has changed my view of China and Chinese people.

It has been notable because I have met a lot of people who I met first time last year like me to come back to Keats this year. The teaching has been fantastic. The teachers carefully prepare each lesson. I think this one-on-one approach is really a great way to rapidly increase your level of Chinese and increase your confidence and fluency with the language.

It doesn’t matter what level of Chinese you have, or even you can start from the zero level. Your teacher will prepare the lessons according to your requirements. The advantage of living in the school is that you will have your tutoring, you will have your private accommodation with your own bathroom and all the meals provided. I highly recommend everybody to actually take the whole package because you get to meet other students.

I decided to learn Chinese in Kunming because I like smaller cities and I like the climate here. We had four hours a day study here and my dear teacher taught me very much and never lost her patience with me. It was a really wonderful experience to be here and I recommend Keats school and the teachers here to everyone who likes to learn Chinese in China.
