It is a distinct privilege and pleasure to teach Mandarin at Houston Gateway Academy. This is my ninth year with HGA. Mandarin is the official language in China and Taiwan. This class is provided the opportunity for high school students not only to learn the language, but also the historical rich Chinese cultures. I look forward to giving students a broader understanding, vision, and language advantage in their future career.
In this time where all of our classes are fully online, please be mindful of the progression of your courses and keep track of your posted assignments to the best of your ability.

New Assignment Posted
Hi everyone,
I posted a new assignment for all the classes. This is the last lesson we will be learning for the semester. In the assignment, there is no need to write anything, the only thing you will be turning in is a recording. Please follow the instructions, and turn in the assignment on time. Since the due date is the last class day before finals, I cannot accept any late work.
Also, our final exam will be on Monday, May 18th, so please be ready. You will have a full day to finish the exam, and then I will calculate your final grade in the class. Warning: NO WORK, NO GRADE. Since we are doing an online format, I can only give you a grade if you turn in your work. If you're having difficulties, please let me know so I can help you.
Reopened assignment 1-3 and test
I reopened assignment 1-3 and test 1 again. If you missed those assignments, please finish and turn them in as soon as possible. No work, no grade.

Hello everyone,

Re-opened assignments
你好，
I want to make a clarification. Those re-opened assignments are for the students who didn't turn in on the due day. Since we won't go back to school before end of school year, your grades are depended on the work you turn in. Those students who didn't turn in the assignments, please finish doing the reopened assignments, turn them in as soon as possible, and also do the current assignment. For those students who has turned in every assignment, you don't need to do it again. Just continue to do the current assignment.

Since break ended we've had three assignments due and the most recent one was due last Friday. This is a list of students who have turned in the all three assignments and did a great job on them. I want to commend these students, and I hope that everyone who didn't turn in all of the assignments will follow their examples.
