My name is Claire, and I will be your teacher. Right now I am living with you in China, because though I am an engineer at Princeton University, I have taken a gap year to come to Beijing.
One fun fact you can remember me by is that I love to dance! My favorite type of dancing is ballet, but I enjoy modern, jazz, and hip-hop as well. When I was just a little bit older than you are now, I went to New York City to dance at a studio on Broadway for the summer. I danced every day from the morning until the evening and though I was often very tired, I was very happy.
Mr. Lin,
Your daughter is so cute.
You are practicing ballet, right?
Hello! My name is Mr. Stern and I am also a Read With Me instructor at Ivy Labs Education. I work in the office in New Haven, Connecticut, which is in the United States. Before working at Ivy Labs Education, I went to Clark University where I studied History, Theater, and Education.
Just like Claire, I also love to dance. I specialize in a hip-hop style of dance called Popping. Unlike Claire, I am mostly self-taught, but I was on hip-hop dance team for all four years of college. It seems as though me, Claire, and Mr. Lin need to have a dance contest when I come to China in the Spring!
Hello! My name is Jimmy. My friends in my school call me Xiao xiao because my Chinese name is 朱啸.And I am their sweet cutie pie, because I talk with a sense of humor. I live in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. Now I am a student in grade 9 in Caihe experimental middle school. Trust me, I am experiencing the daily grind of high load homework that only occurs in the hell. But my elder relatives passed through my current step, so I believe I can handle the stress easily, too.
Unlike Ms.Claire and Mr. Stern, I cannot dance at all. But I do enjoy the western style music. I like listening to classic music ,chanson and some of the pop songs such as Blake Shelton's country music and Maroon 5's pop songs.
I am a happy boy and I want to be your friend.I think the opportunity of our studying online together is very precious. So I will cherish the time we gather together.

I love music especially the classical music and I'm good at playing clarinet and piano. But I can't dance ballet. I enjoy reading books for it can makes me think more. I think it's cool to read the book in the author's mother tongue for the articla is more original.
