Anyway, I guess each of them will get some certificates as long as they spend enough money.
My department is not quite responsible, I think. They just want to get tuition fees. No one would blame me if I just read the textbook in class, but personally I hope the students can get something from me, something interesting or even enlightening. Maybe I'm too ambitious:)

A friend here advised me to ask the foreign embassies in China for some materials. I did it this afternoon. I hope they will help.

By the way, how can I pronounce your name?
How nice a teacher, I am a employer of a USA company in China, and feeling it is so important to communicate with others in English, but I do not have enough time to have a course in my free time, so I come here to write something for correcting by the teachers here, Tdol is a kind man, he always tell others how to say and how to write with enough patience.
So nice to meet you, by the way, could you tell me which city are you in if you are willing to? Maybe I can be a student of you.
Thanks!
Ian
