Bryan, my Filipino student, is an engineer at ITRI. Since February of this year, we have been studying Chinese together.
To be honest, I'm not usually fond of working on weekends, but Bryan's sincere attitude towards learning is truly commendable. He rarely arrives late or misses a class. After months of dedicated effort, his listening and speaking skills have improved remarkably. We are now progressing into the second volume of the Contemporary Chinese textbook, which is quite impressive considering it's only been a few months.
Today marks the final weekend before I go abroad, and I didn't expect any students to attend the class. However, Bryan still showed up. Many of my students demonstrate exceptional self-discipline, and I frequently learn valuable qualities from them as well.
As we move into the next semester, I anticipate a greater focus on my teaching responsibilities.
