Pen Pals

When our culture students were learning about Higher Education in America, we thought it would be fun if our Qufu students could ask some questions to real-life American college students. I called up my good friends at Spring Arbor University in Michigan, and they got some students on board. It was so fun to have these two worlds collide. The best was how much it meant to our Qufu students. They felt so honored to write and receive e-mails from American college students. Read some of their pressing comments and questions below:

• What's your opinion about happy life?
• Have you seen the movie Titanic?
• Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? What do you think about sex before the wedding?
• What kind of man is cool in your college? I mean, who can cause the crazy among girls when he is passing by.
• Do you bring snacks to class in case you get angry (I think she meant hungry. . .)?
• I can tell from the American student that Confucius is not so popular.
• Do you think the world will end in 2012?

Text from a student to me: I'm glad to tell you that Hailey replied me two hours ago and she answered all of questions for me. I'm so excited, so I read it again and again, even do not want to go to bed, I'm sure I will fall asleep with smile.

E-mail from a student to me: It's really a surprise to receive an email from America!It's great! I sent an email to a student you have introduced to us last night. And this morning when I checked my email box ,I found she replied me! I jumped and laughed! I attached two pictures of myself and she also attached one .How wonderful it is. I just can't wait but to send you an email to tell you how nice you are to let us have this opportunity to talk with them!Thank you ! I'm excited,maybe crazy now! hahah^^
