We Are Foreign Teachers
我是誰？我在哪兒？
我在做什麼？
“我是江干外教，我在杭州江干，我在教書育人。”就在今年的教師節，江乾區各所學校的老師們都體驗了被“小粉絲”們簇擁的快樂和欣喜，這其中當然也包括了同在江干教育一線奮鬥的外教們。小編集結了區內部分工作時間滿一年的外教信息，向大家展示他們生活與工作的多面。
Gregor
杭州市採荷中學的德國外教Gregor Romanik，中文名叫羅格禮。去年秋天，他來到了中國，在杭州市採菏中學當一名德文老師。他跟採中的第一個德文老師合作地很愉快，並且很成功。雖然學生從基礎開始學習，但是他們進步得很快。
羅格禮興趣廣泛，最熱衷的是旅行，也喜歡爬山。他熱愛中國，因而他最大的願望便是將來可以接觸到更多的中國文化。
My name is Gregor Romanik, the Chinese name is Rogley, from Germany. I came to China last fall and became a German teacher at Caihe Middle School. I was very happy to cooperate with the previous German teacher in this school. It was a success. Although our students were at the primary level, they learned very quickly, and I believe they will do better in the future.
我和學校的第一位德文老師合作很愉快，學生們也都學得非常快，我相信他們會做得更好。

I am a Brit living in Hangzhou and working as a middle school teacher at Jianqiao experimental middle school and it’s a blast! Life in Hangzhou can be simultaneously peaceful and exciting (depending on where you go) and working with Jianqiao middle school is marvelous. I teach drama here and every class has at least five potential future Oscar winners. The school seems extremely well ran and the staff and students are always friendly and happy, maybe they put something in the soup.
來到杭州的我，生活平靜又充滿激情，這裡的老師和學生們都非常友好，空氣裡都瀰漫著快樂的滋味。

Working for the Dongcheng Education group has been an incredible experience. Moving across the world is never easy, but everyone involved at the Dongcheng middle school has made this transition as comfortable as possible for me, which I really appreciate. This is my fourth semester working here in Hangzhou. I have worked with so many students in the last two years, that are eager to learn. It has been a very happy partnership, which is why I keep coming back.
在東城教育集團工作是一段與眾不同的經歷。好學的學生讓我不捨離開。

Working at Dinglan Experimental Middle School has been a great experience for me. Going to a new country where you don’t speak the native language can be a little scary, but the staff and students at the school have made it easy for me to adjust. Everyone is very friendly, and the students are always excited and curious about meeting a teacher from a different country. The teachers have helped make me feel at home, inviting me to play sports and eat meals with them, and I have become very good at using chopsticks!
身處異國的我有時會感到落寞，但這裡的每一個人都像家人一般溫暖著我。我已經可以很熟練地用筷子啦！

This is now my fourth year in China and it’s been an extremely positive and unforgettable experience. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work in both Caihe and Jinghe schools.

My name is Clarissa, born and raised in an urban city in the U.S. Living in a city like Hangzhou is very different and quite unexpected. Working as an ESL teacher can have its challenges, but I’ve learned that it doesn’t take long to get the hang of it or to realize that teaching can be quite fun for you and the students.
教師這份職業總是充滿驚喜與挑戰，但我很快發現這其中的樂趣和曼妙之處。

Russell
杭州師範大學東城小學
和杭州師範大學東城第二小學的外教Russell同兒子Matayo鼓足了勇氣來到中國，在此之前，他們從未離開祖國巴哈馬。當剛剛抵擋杭州時，他們非常緊張，但是東城小學的校長和老師們讓他們感覺杭州就是第二故鄉。她和孩子們一起收穫非常，共同激情澎湃。相信來到杭州教學，會是她在職業生涯中做過的不後悔的選擇。
Coming to China was a courageous choice for me and my son, Matayo. I had never lived outside of The Bahamas before now. When we arrived, we were welcomed warmly and treated very nicely. At first, we were nervous, but the teachers and principals at Dongcheng Primary School made Hangzhou feel like a second home for us. We love the Chinese culture.
來到中國對我和兒子來說是個考驗，但這裡的老師和學生們讓我們感受到了家的溫暖。我愛中國。
Jason
Jason是一個來自美國芝加哥的大男孩。2017年9月，他正式加盟杭州市錢江外國語實驗學校，成為這個大家庭的一份子。每日早晨，他都站在校門口，用熱情的招呼和親切的笑容，向前來上學的學生送上最溫暖的清晨祝福，風雨無阻。每日放學，他亦會準時出現在門口，與孩子們道別，為他們一天的學習生活畫上圓滿句號。潤物無聲，學生們在與Jason每日的點滴交流之間學會了不少日常交際用語；自成風景，Jason的存在也早已化為一道直觀的國際化風尚，亮相於校園之中。同時，Jason作為錢外一員，參與了校內大大小小眾多活動，深度融入了錢外生活，成為了孩子們心中的好老師、同事們心中的好同事。
My name is Jason Henry, I'm from Chicago, USA. I teach English at Hangzhou Qianjiang Foreign Language Experimental School. People ask me, "Why do you teach?" I reply, "I teach because I like watching the sun rise." A life may be thought of as a full 24 hours. When I'm 36, it will be about noon. When I'm 54 it will 18:00, and at 72, midnight. I like teaching because I get to watch the sun rise in the lives of hundreds of smiling faces.
我熱愛教師這份職業，我喜歡每天早上看著太陽伴隨學生們的笑容徐徐升起。

Overall, the students seem to have a lot of interest in myself and the English classes.
