China

Xie Chao Yu - Huhhot, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region

My Kiwi Life I’m from Huhhot, the capital city of Inner Mongolia, Autonomous Region of China.

I spent one year, 2007, as a Year 13 student at Wellington High School. There were a great many differences between here and China. I really liked the way the teachers taught; that we did experiments in Physics, for example, because it definitely helped me to understand what I was doing and helped with my wider comprehension of the subject.

The use of computers in Mathematics was something new also, and it was a very good way to learn it.

Yan Liu - Lanzhou

My name is Yan Liu. I am nineteen years old and I come from Lanzhou in China.

I am doing a university entrance course: Biology, which I particularly like, Physics, Mathematics with Statistics, Mathematics with Calculus, ESOL, Chinese and recreation for fun. I played tennis for a school team in the summer.

This year I am sharing a flat with other students. I enjoy that because it gives me a chance to be independent.

LI Sijia (Adam) - Zhuai City China

I am Adam. I am eighteen years old and I come from Zhuhai City in Guanagdong, China. I am studying a course so I can get university entrance at the end of this year. I am studying subjects that I am good at: Physics, Mathematics with Statistics, Mathematics with Calculus, Art, Painting, Economics, Chinese and ESOL. I am living in a home-stay with a New Zealand couple and their children in Lyall Bay which is near the airport and the beach. It is only 15 minutes from school. They are very friendly and good to me. They take me on trips with them.

DENG Suining - Guangzhou China

Hi, my name is Lorna and I’m from mainland China, specifically I come from a big city called Guangzhou which is down the bottom of mainland China.
I came to New Zealand mostly because I really like English instead of Chinese and I really want to study about other countries not just China.
