营销活动总结Teaching is a constant process of upgrade, where every moment you learn new things, not only as a teacher, but also as a human being.
At the start of my career, I believed I should come across to my students as a “no-nonn” type of person. My entire focus was towards maintaining classro om discipline. It was tough. Most of my Indian students were from a rural background. They would intentionally u vocabulary that sounded Greek to me. They did all in their power to make me feel like a fish out of water.
My last lecture ended at 2:30 in the afternoon. Some of the students approached me begging to let them leave 15 minutes early as they had a bus to catch. My permission resulted in a stir (骚动) as half of the class stood up to leave. They all had bus to catch! Unable to distinguish between the genuine ones and tho faking it, I put a ban on anybody leaving before time.
One evening, I spotted three boys from my last class at the bus stop. I called out, “You constantly blame me for not allowing you to leave early becau you have a bus to ca tch and here you are still hanging around at 5 pm!” One of the boys replied respectfully and humbly, “Madam, the bus leaves at 2:30. If we leave the class at 2:15, we are able to
make it. In ca we miss it, the next bus to our village comes after three hours. Now we are waiting for it. At this hour, the bus will be overloaded and we will not even get a at.”
I was full of regret. The next day, I asked all the students who had a bus to catch to write an application, get it signed and leave whenever they wanted, without eking my permission. I learnt the first lesson of my life as a teacher—learn to understand your students, for they would learn better from you when they respect you than when they fear you.

For many Chine consumers, a satisfying breakfast is one that includes either hot porridge or steamed buns (馒头). Cold sandwiches, which are popular with Westerners, are probably one of the last options on their minds. But that is not to say that consumers, especially tho in an international city like Shanghai, would avoid everything considered Western for breakfast. For instance, coffee, which has steadily grown in popularity in the country, is one drink that many cannot do without today.
To satisfy this growing demand for breakfast ts that combine elements from the East and the West, food companies have been rolling out (推出) a host of new offerings to attract the customer. One example is Shanghai Qiao Coffee, launched by local time-honored food company Qiaojiashan at the end of 2019. Apart from its traditional dim sum (点心), the store also lls various types of coffee.
According to Shen Yan, deputy manager of Qiaojiashan, the most popular breakfast t now is the steamed vegetable bu n paired with black coffee. “The calories that one gets from a meal consisting of Chine dim sum and coffee are less than tho of a Western
breakfast. Since a steamed bun has nearly 200 calories and a cup of black coffee barely has any calories, this com bination can be considered healthy and delicious,” said Shen.
Even the smaller shoppers in the food scene are jumping on the East-West breakfast trend. Western food companies, too, have been rolling out Chine breakfast options. “Consumers and even cultur al heritage will also benefit from the incread competition. If not for the current trend which has revived interest in certain traditional dim sum, the foods could soon be lost to history,” Shen said.

B．Becau it’s tasty and healthy.
C．Becau it’s newly created.
D．Becau it contains more vegetables.

A．Western food companies dislike East-West breakfast.
B．Big companies have the ability to ize the market share.
C．The competition for breakfast ts is of no benefit to consumers.
