What do you have gained from this experience and what do you hope for your son, for yourself, for the future?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://jclibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/3515/collection_resources/163051/file/296963#t=4386.0,4414.0"},{"id":"https://jclibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/3515/collection_resources/163051/file/296963/transcript/86653/annotation/187","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"SL: I think one year I may have many good experience here and I think English is true and also is a way I get to know this country's culture. So I want to study more and right now I can talk, I can listen, but I can't write or reading is a little bit difficult for me. So I think maybe one day I can read the English novels, not the translated one, but the original one. And I hope my son too came here to experience different culture because right now in China he only experience one culture and in one education system they have good size and bad size. He don't know what to, he don't have choice and he just follow what we taught them him to do. And I hope he can experience different cultures, different education system, different courses, classes. And then he have his own opinion. He can decide what he want to study, what way he want to go. And I think that's good for him.
