My experience

How to share my experiences with my students in Chinese? I tried it once.

今天又下雪了，街上走路的人很少，街上的车开得也很慢，外头漂亮极了，树上，路上，房子上，到处都是， 可是走路的时候，漂亮是漂亮没关系，重要的是安全不安全。 今天早上，我是走着路来上学的。因为下雪的时候，开车太危险。我的妈妈不放心。可是走路的时候，我还是一不小心，摔到了地上，把我的腿摔伤了。而且还被我的学生看到了。啊哟，糟糕，我闹了笑话。
(It snows again today. There are very few people on the street. Cars are also slow. It is really beautiful outside. On trees, roads, and houses, it is white everywhere. However it is really does not matter it is beautiful or not, the most important thing is safety. This morning, I walked to school, because it is dangerous to drive in snow and my mom will worry about me. However, I was still very careless. I fell on the ground and hurt my legs. Moreover, I was seen falling on the ground by my students. Oh, my god, so embarrassing! I make fool of myself. )

"Did it really happen to you?" (student’s reaction)
"Yes, last year, not today actually." (I lied. Why I lie?)
"How far do you live now?" (more question)
"Not far, 20 minites walk."
......

I can feel that students are interested or curious about my own stories which can elicit some discussion. But can I do it more? Maybe, and maybe not. I need to try more.
