On November 15th, accompanied by the warm sunshine in early winter, students from Class 1-2 of the Intensive Chinese Program went to the Cultural Celebrity Road Duolun Road and Shanghai's "most romantic" road Tian’ai Road to engage in a warm and sweet language practice activity. They not only experienced the Shanghai alley culture, but also improved their Chinese communication skills. .

Duolun Road is a small road with rich cultural heritage. Although it is only a few hundred meters long, numerous historical events have occurred here, and outstanding celebrities from all walks of life in China have lived here. Tian'ai Road is so different from Duolun Road. We can see sweet traces everywhere even the air there is sweet!

Chinese teacher assigned language practice tasks to the students. According to the pictures with traditional Chinese characters on the teacher's task sheet, students should find the corresponding simplified characters. On Tian’ai Road,students wrote down their blessings for friends, families, and loved ones in Chinese on the confession wall. What’s more, students tried to search for their favorite buildings, Shanghai snacks and antiques in the Shanghai alleys and roads. They successfully completed the tasks in groups .

After the practice activity, each group shared their gains and reflections in class.

Social practice activity is an extension of Chinese class, taking students into various aspects of life in Chinese society, applying Chinese in real-life context, and gaining language progress and cultural insights.
