November 15, 2008 at 1:46 PM哈哈uncle changye, you are right, that is formality. You can take a day off without any confirm if you like, but make sure you have enough luck that you will not be caught！There are some really bad students that don't obey the rules, they are often absent in class without any reason. They don't care about it untill they get punished!
I am seldom absent in class without any reason because I get noticed very easily if I did that. I am the monitor and all teachers know me, I should set a good example!:-)
Here are some related chinese for you!
翘课qiao4ke4=absent in class without any reason
翘班qiao4ban1=absent at work without any reason
处分chu3fen4=punish
I am not sure about my translation above, maybe our dear Jenny, Amber ,John and Pete can help!
Posted on: “混在中国”最字榜
November 15, 2008 at 1:31 AMoops,不好意思在我的上一条留言中打错了一个字，是“至于”而不是“置于”！
Posted on: “混在中国”最字榜
November 15, 2008 at 12:54 AM除了Jenny 和connie在本课程中提到的“扫街”之外，我还想补充一个词，那就是“扫楼”！一栋楼一栋楼，一层一层的推销自己的产品，就叫做“扫楼”。:-D
关于吃，我想说的是，不是所有的中国人都爱吃动物的内脏，鸡爪，鸭掌等，我就是一个例外！
关于玩，KTV是中国人，特别是年轻人最喜欢的娱乐活动之一，不论你唱歌的水平高低，都可以在KTV的包间里玩的很开心，尽情的唱，尽情的跳！
置于大家谈到的审美观，中西方的审美观确实存在差异，这是可以理解的。当你看多了黑眼睛黑头发黄皮肤的中国人的时候，看到一个金发碧眼的外国人的时候，肯定会眼前一亮！但是再美丽的外表也只是一时的，内在的美，心灵美才是最重要的！

November 15, 2008 at 12:16 AMOh, Ken, I totally agree with you! That is not the kind of place I want to work too!
All my students need my confirm if they want some time off! Asking for the reasons and sign the form! I don't like this kind of things, especially when those holidays are coming! Those naughty students will try all kind of ways to ask for leave just in order to have one or two more extra days off!
Here are some more extra related chinese for you!
