Student X: Discovering Classroom Cultures
"I observed how Chinese classes are teacher-led, while American classrooms thrive on open discussion—teachers encourage us to think critically and speak freely. My buddy was incredibly kind, helping me adapt to the curriculum and language barriers. By the end, my English fluency improved dramatically, and I could communicate with ease. Though our time together was short, we formed such deep bonds that we cried when parting."
