Good morning to everyone!!
Today was the 3rd Monday in Tianjin!
We spent the whole day for APPG because APPG final exam is just around the corner!! ): I had one bubble tea as my breakfast. As when I was waiting for the others to buy drink and breakfast, I saw 3 international students came in. I think they are European. They can speak perfect mandarin to the staffs. They use mandarin to place their order, chit-chat with the staffs and even joking with the staffs. I was impressed by them. Their mandarin was totally same as china students. When they want to leave the shop, they wave to every workers inside the shop and say “zai jian” to them, it was something the local students wouldn’t have done. During this trip, I felt that most of the local students will not say “thank you” to the one that helped them. For example, we have a habit of saying thank you to taxi driver, bus driver, hotel staffs or even the cleaner. But I felt that most of the local people took things for granted. They don’t feel that they should be appreciated with what others had done for them. There is a culture of adaptation within the international students. Besides, they treated everyone equally, no matter who are they, they won’t look down on others. The warm words and small actions had brought smiles on other’s face. *SO SWEET*
Words are very powerful. It can bring smile, bring happiness to others but at the same time, words can kill ones. Maybe the words are meaningless to most of the people, but I think if you know how to make good use of words, you may change the WORLD! (:
