Take advantage of the enemy’s internecine fight and make use of its weakness and lack of judgment. Sui: At nightfall, return home to rest. A regular element in offensive operations, surprise can be effected by the deception of the enemy as well as the mobility of one’ own troops. A cautious commander understands that, in […]
Maintain the original shape and play out the original pose, so that the ally does not doubt and the enemy does not move. Submission and stillness lead to decay. From a distance, the newly sloughed skin of a cicada looks like the cicada itself. One who wants to catch the cicada may be distracted by […]
Force the small enemy into a quagmire. Bo: It is not favorable to set forth. It is disadvantageous to pursue a weak, tottering enemy for long distance. When you return home to discover that a thief has broken into your house, you may either step aside to let him go before calling for help, or […]
When circumscribed in situation and restricted in disposition, seek profit from nearby and keep peril at distance. Fire above the lake. In the late Warring States period, Qin emerged as the most powerful state and proceeded to destroy its rivals to gain control of all China. Though superior to any other single state, Qin was […]
A small state is sandwiched between two great powers. If one of them attempts to bring it to submission, the other will be able to take control under the pretext of aiding it. Kun: when one utters words, one is not believed. The battle from which this idiom originated took place in the Spring and […]
Change the enemy’s formation frequently, dislocate its main force and deal the blow when it tends towards defeat. Stop the wheel. Battle formations are a common feature in early military history of China. A typical formation has a central axle (heavenly beam)extending from the front to the rear and a horizontal axle(earthly pillar)connecting the left […]
Feign ignorance and make no move rather than feign knowledge and make rash moves. Stay motionless and hide one’s intention. Clouds and thunder symbolize Tun. In warfare, suddenness can be achieved either by secrecy, concealing one’s open maneuvers. Secrecy is the normal method and is widely applicable. One who is not ready to take action […]
Provide the army with an apparent chance, entice it to advance, cut it off from coordination or reinforcement, and place it in an impasse. One gets poisoned at an improper position. This strategy underscores the employment of a “ladder” in an ambush planned to annihilate the enemy. Ladders refer to the means by which the […]
Exploit external forces to create favorable conditions, so that a small army acquires great energy. The wild goose gradually approaches the cloudy paths. Its feathers can be used in ritual decoration. Attach lifelike silk flowers to a flowerless tree, and any but the most discerning people will think the tree capable of bearing flowers. In […]
Take the opportunity to put in your foot and seize the heart of the enemy, proceed step by step. When a host is so awkward that he does not know how to accommodate a guest, the guest may dictate the necessary proceedings on the host’s behalf. Thus the roles of the host an guest are […]
Listening and speaking in the classroom every day has improved my communication skills. After three weeks, my new words and sentences became more and more natural and fluent. Now I am used to thinking in Chinese, and I understand better what other people say, to be able to have real conversations with other people.
Alle lærerne er virkelig hyggelige. Undervisningsnivået på Keats er så mye høyere. Jeg elsker virkelig byen. Det er veldig behagelig å komme seg rundt. Jeg anbefaler Keats på det sterkeste. Det er et flott sted å studere kinesisk i Kina. Vi gleder oss til å komme tilbake igjen senere i år.
Lærerne mine er alle fantastiske. De har gitt lærerne en så profesjonell opplæring. Jeg føler at jeg lærer veldig raskt sammen med læreren min. De tar elevene sine veldig alvorlig, og jeg vet at alle lærerne er sånn. Jeg vil på det sterkeste anbefale at du kommer til Keats hvis du leter etter den beste kinesiske skolen i Kina.
Det har vært bemerkelsesverdig fordi jeg har møtt mange mennesker som jeg møtte første gang i fjor, og som liker at jeg kommer tilbake til Keats i år. Undervisningen har vært fantastisk. Lærerne forbereder hver leksjon nøye. Jeg synes denne en-til-en-tilnærmingen er en fin måte å raskt øke nivået ditt i kinesisk og øke selvtilliten og flyten din i språket.
Jeg har hatt en fantastisk tid på Keats. Jeg er overrasket over hvor mye jeg har lært de siste tre ukene, og jeg kommer til å bli veldig lei meg for å dra. Vi planlegger allerede vår neste tur tilbake, fordi vi hadde en så fantastisk tid her. De skreddersyr virkelig kinesiskkurset til deg og dine individuelle behov.
Mitt navn er Sarah Fish. Jeg er 81. Jeg kunne svært lite kinesisk da jeg kom. Hvordan skulle jeg overleve to uker med intensivt kinesiskkurs? Jeg må le når jeg tenker på det nå. For en positiv opplevelse dette har vært! Jeg skulle virkelig ønske vi kunne være her litt lenger. Lærerne er ekstremt oppmuntrende, de vurderer først hvor mye noen kan, og starter deretter derfra.
På Keats har jeg mange muligheter til å praktisere det jeg har lært. Jeg liker denne skolen veldig godt, fordi jeg kan lære kinesisk én-til-én, så jeg synes dette er det beste fordypningsprogrammet i Kina, og læreren min er den beste læreren. Jeg føler at uten læreren min ville ikke kinesiskkunnskapene mine blitt så mye bedre. Jeg er veldig glad, for på Keats har jeg forbedret kinesiskkunnskapene mine betraktelig.
Jeg fant Keats School, og jeg er så glad for at jeg gjorde det. Når du lærer kinesisk i Kina på Keats, blir du tatt godt vare på. Læreren min er virkelig flott, og vi blir gode venner.
