The new semester has come. There are many new things and changes have happened. The most exciting thing is that a new teacher, Mr. Hughes, joined BCOS this year.
As the vice-principal and science teacher of Jiaxing BCOS, Mr. Hughes’ rigorous and serious teaching attitude captures the hearts of many students and becomes one of the most popular teachers. Students not only like his carefulness and patience in explaining lessons but also like his humor after class.
Finally, we got the chance to interview Mr. Hughes. Let’s go and learn more about this popular teacher.
Question Time
Q1: Firstly, how long have you been teaching?
A1: I have been teaching for ten years in China.
Q2：What do you usually do in your spare time?
A2：I like to go biking and I often take my bicycle ride around the city.
Q3：Which food do you like best in China?
A3：The best food is ganbiandoujiao and guobaorou in Dalian.
Q4：As math and science teacher, can you tell us how we can learn math and science well?
A4： First of all, you have already learned much knowledge that we will teach in BC math and science classes, so now it’s about learning how to use English words. There are also some new concepts that you haven’t learned before, so you should connect them with the things you already knew before, and study. The key to success is practice. You should find your areas of weakness and improve in those areas.
Q5：What’s the biggest difference between students in Canada and China?
A5：There are a few. For example, students in China are very good at memorizing. Many students know many elements on the periodic table but they often do not understand them as well as Canadian students. Canadian students will not remember many things, but they will understand and be able to use them.
