You must have been troubled by when to say "I love you" because it is one of the greatestpuzzles in our life．

"A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal," says psychologistSidney Crown．"but love is seldom equal．" All relationships go through power struggles but, hesays, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in．In love, at least, the silent, with-holding type is not always the most powerful．"The strongest one in a relationship is often the per-son who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings．" says educational psychologist IngridCollins．"In fact, the person who says &39; I love you&39; first may also be the one who says &39; I&39; mbored with you&39; first．" Hall believes that much depends on how "I love you" is said and the mo-tivation of the person saying it．"Is it said when they&39;re drunk？ By saying &39;I love you&39;, they re-ally saying &39; Do you love me？&39; If so, wouldn&39; t it just be more honest to say that？" Collins agreesthat intention is everything．"It&39; s not what is said, but how it&39; s said．What it comes down to isthe sincerity of the speaker．"

d a lot of things. Everything worked well, but I found one of my husband's socks missing. I looked everywhere for it, but I couldn't find it anywhere. The next morning, I got ready for school as usual. When the bell rang, the students came in. I greeted them first and then told them what we were going to do that day. When I turned around to write on the blackboard, the class broke out a roar! They laughed and laughed. They laughed so much, in fact, that I was afraid the headmaster would be into seeing all this. I asked the class to stop, but the more I talked, the more they laughed. I decided to pay no attention to them and I continued to write on the blackboard. When I did this, they roared even more. Finally, the teacher who had the room next to mine came in to see what all the laughter was about. When he came in, he started laughing, too! “Good heavens” I said. “Will someone please tell me what is so funny” “Oh, God, ”said the teacher. “You have a brown sock to the back of your skirt! ” So that's how I found my husband's missing sock. “Oh, well, ” I said to the class. “Let's just say you have had an unforgettable lesson on static (静止的) electricity. ”

nts or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students. I was impressed by the role of the professor in the seminar(讨论会). The professor didn’t act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a reseac her looking for answers to questions together with the students. One lingui stic(语言的) feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal(情态的) verbs—far more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he usually said, “This is my personal opinion and it could be wrong.” or “You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting.” In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct di rections. Therefore, students always expect the professor to give an answer to th e question. I still remember how frustrated they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher than that of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they w ere sure about it. Education in China is valued for united thinking. I remember American teachers who taught in our university complaining about the fact that Chinese students u niformly expressed the same idea in their English composition. The examinations in America usually do not test a student’s ability to memorize the material but his ability to analyze and solve problems. Education in America is valued not on ly as a means to obtain employment but as a process of enhancing critical thinking. In the USA, when the students are in class, ____.

A.a Chinese student tends to be very active

B.an American student likes to make trouble

C.a Chinese student likes to puzzle the teacher

D.an American student tends to be vigorous

nt, I am filled with mixed feelings. It makes me happy and excited that I’ll see my beloved wife and children soon, but at the same time I don’t want to bid farewell to you, my dear students and friends as well as Tianjin, your beautiful city.

In fact, I regard Tianjin as my second hometown, and the students and teachers here as my family members and best friends. I’ll never forget the warmest welcome you gave me when I first arrived in Tianjin. I’ll never forget the day on which you took me to the hospital when I fell ill an the dumplings that Li Ming’s parents prepared for me that night.

Yet, I still remember you were all laughing at me when I was trying to use chopsticks for the first time in Tianjin Food Street, but do you know that now I prefer chopsticks to knives and forks？

I’m very glad to see the great progress you’ve made in your English and the prosperity of vocational education in Tianjin. I am told that many graduates from this college are devoting themselves to the construction of Tianjin now. I believe your future is bright and so is the future of Tianjin.

Now I’m leaving soon, but I have a strong desire to come back to Tianjin, back to my beloved school with my family as soon as possible.

Best wishes!

Thank you!
