　　The student blinked his eyes, thought for a long time, and said in a fluent chaoyang accent:

　　留学生眨眨眼睛，思考半天，用流利的朝阳口音说：

　　"Teacher, please speak Chinese. I have been in Chifeng for five years."

　　“老师你说汉语就行，我在赤峰呆过五年。”

　　During a break from class, Modi from Tanzania said:

　　课间休息，来自坦桑尼亚的老铁莫迪说：

　　Using the seal for the first time, Dazhi from West Asia was full of curiosity and excitement.

　　第一次使用印章，来自西亚的大志充满了好奇与兴奋。

　　So Mr Wu also told him in English full of Chinese expressions: Later,after Chop, it's a complete artwork. (After writing, it needs to be stamped to make it a complete work.)

　　于是吴老师也用充满了中国式表达的英文告诉他：Later,after  Chop , it's  a complete  artwork。（写完字之后，需要盖上印章，才是一件完整的作品。）

　　That's the question that most people want to ask:

　　这也是大多数人想问的问题：

　　"How do you teach them? Is it the same as teaching our Chinese children?"

　　“怎么教他们？和我们中国小朋友一样么？”

　　Mr Wu: There is a difference. The understanding of calligraphy is built on the basis of Chinese characters, so we can only start from zero slowly. Basically, after three months, students who write well can get access to our traditional calligraphy posters. I now teach the regular script is "Ni Kuan Zan" of zhu Suiliang, official script "Cao Quan monument".

　　吴老师：还是有区别的。对于书法的理解是建立在汉字的基础之上，所以只能从零慢慢开始，基本上三个月后，写的好的留学生可以接触我们传统书法字帖。我现在教的楷书是楮遂良的《倪宽赞》，隶书《曹全碑》。

　　This is the word "and" written by Dazhi, an international student from Turkmenistan.

　　辽宁省书法家协会副主席卢林老师说：“小吴啊，这个和字，比你写的有感觉，有味道啊！”

　　Ask: After listening to Teacher Lu’s comment, what’s your feeling?

　　问：您听了卢老师的评价，什么感想？

　　Mr Wu: Yes, I'm very happy, really. In my opinion, two words can illustrate my teaching philosophy: how and what. Make sure to teach students how to write, not what to write. I was happiest when the students finished writing.

　　吴老师：好啊，我非常高兴，真的。我觉得，两个单词能说明我的教学理念：how和what.一定要教会学生how,怎么写，而不是what写什么。学生写好了，我是最开心的。

　　"These kids come all the way to Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China, to learn Chinese culture, Chinese characters and Chinese calligraphy, which is actually a very difficult thing. From the piles of practice paper, you can know they are really serious. They worship Chinese culture, writing and are devout in calligraphy, so they can write seriously. 2018 Shenyang Hundred Good calligraphy exhibition, 2017 foreigners seeing the Shenyang party calligraphy show and Shenyang college students talent show are the activities  they are participating in. Through subtle influence, they can know the charm and status of calligraphy."

　　“这些孩子千里迢迢来到中国辽宁沈阳，学习中国文化，中国文字，中国书法，其实是一件很难的事情。你看看那一摞摞练习纸，他们真的很认真，他们对中国的文化、文字是崇拜的，对书法是虔诚的，所以他们能够认真的写。2018沈阳百善书法作品展，2017外国人看沈阳联欢现场书法秀，沈北高校留学生才艺展示等，他们都在参加，通过潜移默化，让他们知道书法的魅力和地位。”

　　Every year, international students' Christmaspresents
