In my Chinese class, we do a week's worth of work in 1 day, so everyday is a new chapter in our textbook. These are the topics leading up to my midterm. My textbook addresses a lot of current issues in China, so I feel as though I am learning a lot about the culture as well. In class we discuss these issues, compare them to the U.S., and discuss causes and solutions. A lot of these problems are problems that are still being addressed in different countries, many of which are hard to discuss in English, much less Chinese!
