    Mr. Tan was an excellent math teacher. He explained everything slowly and clearly on the blackboard.When he looked at the class, you had to be looking at his hawk﹣like eyes.He stared at us like a tiger facing a group of rabbits. If you weren't looking directly at him, he summoned(命令)you to the front of the class. Then he took "Joey" from his cupboard. "Joey" was a length of garden hose about half a metre long. After few painful wallops(猛)from "Joey" you paid attention all the time!

Sometimes Mr. Tan felt that the class was getting sleepy. Then he suddenly said, "Outside everybody! Round the school! RUN!" He stood at the door of the classroom, waiting for us to return. He had a slipper(拖鞋)and hit the last one or two pupils. I was usually the first back.

    We were all scared of Tiger Tan. We didn't like him but we respected(敬重)him. He was a good teacher and was always fair.

    We had a very different math teacher in Sec 3. He was Mr. Hu. He was cheerful and friendly.When he entered the room, somebody would ask him how a camera worked. Then he spent the rest of the lesson explaining how something worked. He drew diagrams on the board and sometimes one of us asked another question to keep him talking. Most of the class sat and day﹣dreamed about food or sport. We weren't really interested in cameras. We just wanted to avoid doing any work.

Dmitry Doronin,a doctoral student from Russia,is keen (热衷的)to share his experience in rural villages in Zhejiang with his 1.4 million followers online.

Since Dmitry started to live in the countryside last August,the 32 ﹣year﹣old has created hundreds of video clips that record the relaxing lifestyle in Hengzhang village,Lishui city."The rice is grown in the fields together with fish,which helps to increase local agricultural (农业的)products," said Dmitry,while introducing products from Hengzhang village on the popular Chinese short﹣videos platform Douyin,Besides filming videos,Dmitry also enjoys working with farmers in the fields,doing activities   such as planting vegetables and feeding chickens.

Living in a village provides him with uniqueexperiences,he says,quite different from busy life in big cities,such as Shanghai,where he studies.And he has been a pleasant surprise to the villagers as well.Villager Bao Mingyue,76,says,"To our surprise,the young Russian not only knows how to cook Chinese food but is interested in working in the fields."

"Thanks to his videos,it seems that more tourists have come to visit our village,"says 72﹣year﹣ old Pan Xianyu,who is very pleased to see the great changes in her hometown,Dmitry loves his country life,"In the countryside,you can immerse (沉浸)yourself in the traditional way of life and understand this country better," he says.
