On Monday Hefei University Students played a Soccer Match against Internationals, which are mainly teachers living and working in Hefei. It was great fun. I went and took the photographs and created a slideshow for everyone to enjoy.

It was the first game for the Chinese students and they really played well. There was a mixed group of players, some from the English Class, and some from the College  Soccer Team. Some of the Chinese students had to play in the International team to make up the numbers, and the chinese generously gave them their best players.

Hefei Girls: Last year the English College had a combined Levels Outing to Whu Gardens which are not far from the Campus. This is a photo of some of the girls waiting outside the Gardens.The girls are shorter than the boys but there are also many taller Chinese girls today.

 Campus at Hefei: Mary and Linda: This is the Main Campus as viewed from the Front Entrance in He An Road. The dormitories are to the left and ahead, and the classrooms are to the far left and in front. We have a Library, Sports Arena where they have parades and play Soccer, basketball Courts and some Garden under construction. There is a cafeteria and a shop below the Cafeteria. Outside in the street there are many small shops, street vendors with food Stalls, and Internet cafes and serices required by students. The Campus also has Chinese Courses. The English College is part of the University, and linked to Australia and a part of IIBT. The students study English Fulltime for 20 hours, and they also study additional Chinese Courses. Some students will study up to 40 hours of classes a week. They work very hard and take their studies seriously. They will complete Homework and set tasks and attendance is very high at lectures. Interest in learning and getting a good mark is important, and the students are very focused. They do not have many hobbies or outside interests, as they do not have time for them as they see Education as being very important. They watch movies on Wednesdays and on their TV's and Computers, and they enjoy Computer Games and surfing the Net. The boys play Sport...Basketball and Soccer. Girls do not play as much sport as they try to keep out of the sun. Chinese culture favors white skin, and this is one reason why the girls do not play outdoor sports. The Campus is very small in China, and is a new Campus...still being developed and extended. There are approximately 5,000 students and 400 in the English College. Mary and Linda are two Chinese teachers who work at Anhui University. Mary works in the Library.
