@ 李迎富 Thanks!

I would like to speak with the teacher who assigned the homework that created this thread. To all the students posting here, please private message me with your teacher's phone number or email. Do not leave that information in this forum.

Thanks very much.

One thing to understand when posting on GoKunming: One forum thread is enough. Starting two of exactly the same name and subject matter is pointless. The other, older and still active forum called "why should we learn English" is available here:

www.gokunming.com/[...]

This forum is locked, but the other of the same name and purpose is open for business. Thanks everyone :)

Head southeast. If you're hungry and thirsty try and find a place like Humdinger:

If it doesn't suit your fancy, its right next to the whole Zhengyifang shopping and dining complex. Follow the lights and the crowds.

Welcome to town!

This is a topic the GoKunming team takes very seriously, and one that we discuss internally all the time.

There is a perception that many threads here become monopolized or overly polarized, thus discouraging other new/potential contributors. We hope that everyone feels welcome to ask questions, post solutions, or otherwise engage in discussion.

One thing to keep in mind is that reasoned and opinionated online discussion of a given topic always has a common starting point, and that is, barring outright trolls, those who choose to involve themselves do so because they feel a subject is worth talking about and debating.

Conversations in our real and virtual lives are organic and a lot of leeway needs to be given to all opinions as long as everyone remains respectful.

It's idealistic, and doesn't always happen this way, but this what we hope the community here can foster. Keep up the good discussions and please note that the forum boards on China city sites similar to GK are filled with angry, hateful and totally irrational conversations all the time. We have it pretty good here.

One last note: If anyone wants to limit a conversation to only a few select participants, you can send invites using our private messaging system. It is enabled for multi-party, private discussions.

Thanks to everyone for your time and contributions to GoKunming. We will continue to work to foster a growing and positive community we can all be proud of.
