In the general view

Here is the place for teaching chinese people english

This is a cool place for them

Here are the scores from TOEFLGRE and IELTS from the NEW DREAM students

Americans ask me: how can the scores being so high?

You must cheating

Americans sometimes is so naive

10000 studens who are studying in U.S

3/4 from NEW DREAM!

Our flag has already inserted through the entire United States

Here is another one.

Wisconsin

Wang yang says

For hundred years, Chinese people don't know how to speak english use their mouth.

Why don't you just open your mouth?

Because your confidence has destroyed by the traditional education

Scared your broken-english make other people feel bad.

But don't forget, your english sucks

That will only make other people suffering, what are your afraid of?

Meng Xiaojun, he doesn't like talk in public

He likes private chat

That's because you're not confident enough

You think he is talking to you about visa

In fact, he is talking about America

Self confidence is the most basic requirements for individual in America culture

I have no confidence

I am afraid of being rejected

Courage is resistance to fear

Mastery of fear

Not absence of fear

Mr Meng

I've fell in love with you over a year

I'm married

I know, but at least you can see my courage now

Meng Xiaojun's grandfather

is a doctor that returned after studied in U.S in 1925

gave him a English dictionary

His Father is a doctor that returned after studied in U.S in 1955

gave him another English dictionary

Meng xiaojun's family history is America

His destiny

Just like he and Liang Qin's love

I think a man's dream

aways begins from a woman

Before I know my frist love

I always help another girl to carry hot water

Then I found out she got a boy friend

I asked her

Why you still let me to carry hot water for you?

She said:
That's because she wanted her boy friend to take a break

Although she kept refuse me over and over again

But I still wanted to see her everyday

Because she was my dream

What is dream?

Dream is a kind thing that makes u want to hold on

and feel happy

20 years ago, I was the one usually give the speech

Niu Yongxiao who came from the NEW DREAM says

You are the one of the most unprincipled person

he've seen in his entire life

Do you agree with him?

He should remove the "one of"

20 years ago, Cheng Dongqing has not yet learned how to talk about jokes in public

Meng Xiaojun also doesn't acting so serious

Only I got no change

Meng Xiaojun says he loved America

He does say:
loved

But me, the godfather of the students

Never been to America

And today, America sues us

Cheng Dongqing was a loser in 1979

2 times failed the college entrance examination

I want to take another exam

Family can't afford anymore

If you want to another exam

Mom has to borrow money, get up

Uncle Get up

Dongqing, Just be reassuring be a farmer

Get up get up

How about

Let Dongqing take another exam

Yeah Rice still grow in the fields

Well, this will be the last time

That's it

Let's go

Please wait

Money

Money

Americans never know

Chinese hero can get down on his kneel

Even can crawl through other people's crotch

Shen Qing, I love you

My frist day in college

I met Wang Yang and Meng Xiaojun

Are you insane

I'm reading what are you yelling of?

Go taking your own sh*t

Jerk

Damn you

Stop, People get hit!

Wait there, don't run!

Sorry dude

You should blame that neuropathy didn't mind his own sh*t

Who are you talking about?

You! What you just called me?

Are you alright?

I'm gonna beat you up

Try me

Don't stop him have a try

Since then, I began stay with Meng Xiaojun and Wang Yang

Cheng Dongqing, where's the place you most want to go

Tian An Men square

Tian An Men square

Why?

Cheng Dongqing, let me tell you

look, all water is boiling

Meng Xiaojun told me

The place everyone wants to go is

America

That's it, we finish reading today

Oh, there one last request

I wann you guys try to use a word to describe our generation

Catching up

The ideal

Impulse

Freedom

Doubt

The pretty

Lonely

Desire sincere

What about you, Cheng Dongqing?

Red flag never fall

Have you ever thought, right here

We've been talking too much thoughtsdoctrinesmethods

Why?

Because we all want to find a ready answer

We all hope someone can tell us

How to live our lifes

In fact

No one can tell us how to live our lifes

Lifes belong to our own

We should find the answers for our own questions by ourselves

So I think

The most important thing in our generation is

Change

Change everyone around us

Change everything around us

And the only one thing won't change that's our courage

If we can do that

We will change the world!

Meng Xiaojun told me

Only one place can really change the world

U.S.A

So what do you think of U.S.A?

Wang Yang is always busy join dancing parties

Sometimes also accepts interview

Although it's violate the school's rules

USA In Chinese is "Mei Guo"

Means beautiful country

In Japan, it means

"Mi Guo"

It sounds like

"Rice country"

Rice country?

That's right

Later, Wang Yang asks Lucy to interview him very often

Cheng Dongqing

Have you been learned the japanese

Oh yeah, that one you have is legacy version

You should read the oxford version

Look, "Louse" means lice

lice from the animals

Can I?

Sorry

It doesn't matter

I promise to Meng Xiaojun

In order to be like him

I will read 800 books during all my 4 years in college

I will sweep the whole Yanjing University library

I only have to ask Wang Yang for help

Let him to get a key from library manager

I thought I was the frist one

sneaked into the school library instead of stealing books

Stop following me

There is a kind girl will refuse you

Before you talk

Wang Yang says the love is like a video camera

Sometimes needs to fast forward, and sometimes needs to rewind

Sometimes, needs to pause

Sorry

Now Lucy press the fast forward button

He vomited

Vomited...

also cried all night

I only cry for one thing

When I myself boared on the TIME magazine in America

Why don't you say when you become American president

Actually that's the only thing I can't do

You have to born in U.S

U.S will never get rid of racial discrimnation

If a white person

see 3 black men entered the elevator at same time

He will escape the elevator

right before the door close

In the opinion of white people

Black people are always the lazyignorant and savage race

So those chinese Americans should be clever and hardworking in America

But they say

Chinese people destroyed local people's job opportunities.
