As routine tasks, from time to time we were requested to attend classes in other schools, which were assumed to broaden our horizons. Both lecturers and listeners had little passion and enthusiasm for the activity initiated by the higher authorities. These wretched lecturers spent a lot of time on preparing for their public classes, rehearsing time after time in case any defects should be found by the audience. This greatly disturbed the normal order of teaching and caused a sheer waste of time, manpower and money. The open courses were just like performances, perfect and flawless but unpractical. Yesterday we four were sent to the No. 1 Experimental School of Changchun taking part in such an activity as listeners. First I proposed to Mr. Shao to attend an English class for Grade Three. The young slim female teacher seemed busy all the time, occupying herself in making the students watch the noisy videos, repeat after, answer questions, do exercises, etc. The content of the course was too large, including too many words, sentence patterns and dialogues, which were impossible for the kids to grasp in the class. And the volume of the cartoon played was so high that we could hardly hear the teacher and the students. And I put this down on the paper handed me for advice.
