A foreign teacher of Minhang Ailu Kindergarten introduced himself:“My name is Duncan Reid. I come from the UK. I moved here in 2019 with my children and my wife. Since I came here I've been teaching English at kindergarten, I also play with the kids and I'm learning as well. So every day I learn something about China and a little bit about the children and the language. So it's more of a vocation than a job.”

A student in Duncan's class said :“I love teacher Duncan because he can play with me and his class isfunny.”

Duncan shared his teaching experiences :“I love working with the children because of theamount of fun they can bring to the classroom. It makes it very easy when thelesson is fun and engaging. I think the children's laughter increases thelearning because they always want more interaction with me and they want moreinteraction with each other.”

“I find that the Shanghai people, theHongqiao people are very welcoming. They always want to show me about thedifferent festivals as celebrating, making Zongzi or making other dumplingsand Tangyuan we made one year. This is a real window for me to learn about howthe children enjoy the Chinese culture, how they learn about Chinese culture becauseI'm learning about them too.”

Whentalking about his feeling living in Shanghai, Duncan said, “The vibe that you've got in Shanghai is very different from inother cities. In one ways it is very safe. I mean I'm an older guy now but if Iwas out, partying and going out for the nightlife, I would feel quitecomfortable here because it's very very safe. And particularly here we have allthe Chinese festivals, of course, but we've also got things like Christmas andHalloween which are observed. Everyone's aware of them, so everyone likes tohave a little fun with it, which I think is lovely and it makes me feel verymuch at home.”

“船长来了！爬上桅杆！”在闵行区爱绿幼儿园，一名外教正在和孩子们互动。

这位外教叫邓肯·里德，来自英国，全家5口人在2019年搬到了闵行。来到这里后，他就一直在幼儿园教英语。他每天都会学习一些关于中国、孩子和语言的内容，他表示这不只是一份工作，更多是一种职业使命感。

孩子们也很喜欢邓肯，一名大班的孩子接受采访时表示：“我喜欢邓肯老师，因为他可以和我一起玩，而且他的课堂很有趣。”

“我喜欢和孩子们在一起，他们在课堂上会带来很多乐趣。如果课程有趣且吸引人，那教学也会变得容易。我认为孩子们的笑声可以促进学习，因为他们经常想多与我互动。”邓肯介绍自己的教学心得道。

“我发现上海人、虹桥人都很热情好客，他们让我了解了不同节日的庆祝方式，比如包粽子、饺子，一年前我们还制作了汤圆。这对我来说是一个学习中国文化的好机会，还可以了解孩子们如何学习中国文化。”

谈及在上海生活的感受，邓肯表示：“上海的氛围和乐趣与其他城市非常不同，其中一点就是这里的安全感。如果我出去参加派对、享受夜生活，我会感到很自在，因为这里非常安全。大家都能从中找到快乐，这让我感觉就像在家乡一样自在。”
