Evan’s upperclassmen
Yesterday I asked Evan how his Chinese is progressing. He said that every day he finds one character that he doesn’t know, then asks an upperclassman å¸é•· at his school what it means. He said that upperclassmen in Taiwan are nicer to younger students than they are in the US.
Upperclassmen in Taiwan have a sense of responsibility to younger students, whereas in the US, it’s open season on underclassmen. Evan feels that the upperclassmen in his school want to help the underclassmen.
That’s one of the reasons that I like Taiwan – Taiwanese are the nicest people that I know.
You mean they don’t chant, “Freshmen! Freshmen! Duh! Duh!” like they did at West? Wow.
