As an exchange student, I have been staying in a host family in Beijing for the past five months. The parents are
36 in their mid-30s and the son just turned 5. In exchange for room and board, I teach their son
37 .
Like in many of the other Chinese families, he’s an only child. And though he has
38 plastic trucks and boxes full of crayons, I don’t know
39 he has the time to play. When he’s not in the kindergarten, he’s taking after-school classes. On the weekends, the boy goes to more classes. He has one day off―Sunday.
Compared to his schedule, I feel like my childhood was
40 a waste of time. I learned how to climb trees and draw cartoons. I wasn’t learning Chinese at his age. But he and lots of other children are learning English. Both his parents dream that he will have
41 jobs, higher pay, and bigger houses.
The boy seems to take no interest
42 learning English. He doesn’t need a teacher, but a playmate. He is,
43 , only 5. When I think about my life as a 5-year-old, I know for sure I wasn’t half as
44 as he is.
In the evening, when his parents

46 . He lies on the floors, hides under the table and climbs on the furniture. When he finally stops
47 , and starts talking, it isn’t in English, but it isn’t in Chinese,
48 . He speaks in his own language.
He

50 can speak in gibberish(胡言亂語) with him and help draw trucks, robots or spiders.
