English Majors

Grace and I are teaching six classes of English majors between us. BIT's student body is about 80% male; English is the only subject area with a female majority, and those six classes are about 90% women! The young lady pictured, "Emma", chose it because she likes the language and wants to study abroad after graduation. She is from Lanzhou, the capital city of the province of Gansu, which is in the north-central part of the country, bordering on the north with Mongolia. Unlike most of her classmates, she has traveled outside China, spending a month in Canada at a summer camp during her high school years. She lists as her hobbies: "reading, watching movies, traveling and playing a Chinese musical instrument"
