【师资力量】Teacher Lucas

   Hello, my name is Lucas and my Chinese name is卢卡斯. I am a native Australian and I graduated from Sydney University. 
     I am optimistic, outgoing and crazy. About my hobbies, I am fond of model-planes, motorbike and cute girls. Of course, I am good at talking, communicating as well as discussing movies.
     In my free time and during my weekends, I like painting and decorating houses, gardening socializing as well as short-trips on motorbike.
     By doing these activities, I can open and change my outlook in a positive way. I really like doing activities.
     For example, I used to have difficulties in learning Chinese.I was listening Chinese by myself first, and then went out to communicate with the people who were in Xintai Garden (I am living there). I talked with them by using facial expressions and body language to make them understand me. Then let them find my mistakes and gave me some suggestions. In addition, I asked help from friends around me. 
     One of my friends recommended me NDI. They told me that NDI needed a foreign teacher, and so I came here and tried. The happy and lucky thing was that I succeeded.
     In the process of teaching English in NDI, I met a student who was very funny. He works in Chinese Air Force. As you know, I like plane very much and in some degree I really appreciate his work.
     Teaching both Business English and Oral English is my found passion for which I hope to do for many years to come. So I say to all new students “Welcome” and please remember these three words,” Confident, Motivation, Opportunity”.
     Everyone can speak a foreign language. All of you have the ability to learn English well. Language is a skill. Practice makes perfect. You need to learn in an effective way, which is Preview-Understand-Focused Practice- Practice- Review -Intermittent Review.
     I really like the work here, because I am pleased to pass my knowledge on the lovely students in NDI. I have made many friends here. The work has been enriching my life.
