好久以来第一天上课！

今天是好（or 很）久以来第一天通过Skype和一位中文老师上课。我和Jenny上了课，她是一位住在上海的Italki网站上的老师之一。她有一个快两岁的女儿，所以我们常常会谈论有关孩子和当父母的事。今天我们谈了化妆品这个话题，因为我上七年级的女儿今年开始化妆了。Jenny一听到这个消息就感觉很惊讶，其实我发现过大部分的华人也都有同样的感觉反应，但我告诉她我女儿都只会化淡妆，而且我觉得她化妆前后的样子没有什么大的区别。此外，我们也谈了让两三岁的孩子自己刷牙，以及中国的托儿所，幼儿园，和小学跟美国的有什么不同的话题。

(Today was the first day in a very long time that I had a lesson with a Chinese teacher on Skype. I talked to Jenny, an italki teacher who lives in Shanghai. She has a baby girl who’s almost 2 years old, so we often talk about children and parenting. Today we talked about makeup, since my 7th grade daughter started wearing makeup this year. She was surprised at this, as most Chinese people are, but I told her it’s very light makeup, and the difference in her appearance “before and after” is not very dramatic at all. We also talked about getting toddlers to brush their teeth, and the differences between elementary schools and preschools in China and the US.)
