太极班 Tai Chi Class
Tai Chi originates from martial art in China. But it is better known as an effective exercise for health. There are researches done on the benefit of Tai Chi on arthritis. But that is not the only benefit. Its other benefits include improvement of posture, flexibility, strength, balance and integration of body and mind. Tai Chi is exercise for people of all ages. Shi Fu Norman Lam and his fellow volunteer instructors have offered Tai Chi class at London Chinese School to the school parents and London community more than 20 years. Class time is every Saturday between 10:00 am and 11:30 am at the gym. The class starts with warm up and breathing exercise, then follows by Wu style 108 forms. Master Lam always explains each move and their applications patiently. Do the forms at your own pace and learn the forms at your own pace. Don’t miss such affordable, low impact and convenient exercise opportunity.
By Hao Xu, on October 14th, 2009 This summer from July 1 – July 30, I was very fortunate to be able to attend a summer camp in Taiwan under Overseas Compatriot Affairs Commissions (OCAC). This camp is funded by the Government of Taiwan and only requires you to pay a fee about $750 and buy your own plane ticket. This program has offered me many opportunities to better my understanding of the Chinese culture, experience living in a Chinese society, and make friends with people from all over the world.
How was all this possible?
Because I went to Chinese School.
First of all, I found out about this incredible program when I was at Chinese school, and through the principal, Linda Hsieh, as well as filling out some application forms, I was enrolled into the OCAC camp. I then realized, if I had not gone to Chinese school, I would never have found out, or even dreamt about going to camp in Taiwan.
When I arrived at the Taiwan airport, two very sweet camp counselors greeted me and soon we were having a conversation… in mandarin! They even complimented my mandarin and asked how I had been able to speak mandarin even though I grew up in Canada. I said, “Because I went to Chinese School” and in my mind I was truly glad that I had not given up on my Chinese.
At camp, there were numerous times when I came to appreciate Chinese school again and again. Most of these times were when I was shopping with friends, whom I met at the camp, at night markets or shopping centers. Before shopping, our camp counselors would usually remind us that if the salesperson found out that you were from a foreign country, they might raise the prices. However, because I was able to speak Chinese fluently enough for others to believe that I was not a foreigner, not only did we buy things for a cheap price, but sometimes I would be able to bargain for an even lower price.
This camp also allowed me to engage in numerous activities that would enrich my knowledge of the Chinese culture such as lantern painting, fan painting, traditional mask painting, calligraphy, Tai-Chi, figurine sculpting and singing. We sang traditional Taiwanese songs and pop music, which I had very much enjoyed. At the end of camp, we were even allowed to bring our works of art home—I still have everything I made at camp.
On the other hand, I visited many museums, significant buildings (President’s office), and scenic areas. My favourites were the scenic areas by the ocean. Although we were not allowed to go swimming at the beach, we saw many strangely shaped rocks on land (one coincidentally looked like the side of a woman’s face if you looked at it from a certain angle and came to be known as the “Queen’s Head”). We also hiked a lot on mountains and visited many caves, and in the caves were temples where people worshipped Buddha. Even though I am not religious, hiking was a great way to exercise and see Taiwan in a totally different perspective.
During camp, everyone had to take a week and a half of mandarin class, and to determine which level you were at, the teachers would put you through a series of tests for speaking, reading, and writing. I had successfully passed all three with ease. As a result, they put me into the ‘Almost Perfect in Chinese’ class, which made me very proud of myself and thankful that I had attended Chinese School in Canada.
Thus, I’d like to emphasize once more the importance of Chinese School. Chinese School has allowed me to explore another part of the world, experience another way of life, and it had certainly opened up more opportunities for me.

By Hao Xu, on August 15th, 2009 Participating in “2009 Eastern Canada Chinese Language Teachers’ Conference”
written by Lisa He
translated and edited by Clare Chan
“2009 Eastern Canada Chinese Language Teachers’ Conference” took place at the Culture Centre, Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Toronto during July 4th and July 7th, 2009. Over 10 Chinese schools in the Greater Toronto Area have alternated hosting the conference. This 22nd colloquium was sponsored by the Overseas Compatriot Affairs Commission, Republic of China (OCAC) and hosted by the Toronto Chung Wah Chinese School (TCWCS). The opening ceremony began at 9:00 a.m. with guests, Mr. Kuo-Jan Wang, office head of TECO, and Mrs. Judith Whitfield, principal of Continuing Education, the Toronto District School Board. About 180 participants represented more than 40 Chinese schools across the province and consisted of administrators, volunteers and teachers. The team of the London Chinese School (LCS) led by Mrs. Linda Hsieh proudly joined the event.
The theme of the conference was “Cultivating Seedlings”. Three guest speakers, Professor Chin-Chin Tseng, director of Mandarin Training Centre, National Taiwan Normal University, Miss Xin-Yi Zhang, Master student in Mandarin Training Centre, National Taiwan Normal University, and Mr. Chin-Hsi Lin, Ph.D. student in Department of Education, University of California, Irvine, were invited from Taiwan to deliver lecture. The topics consisted of Creative Teaching, Class Management, the Evolvement of Chinese Characters and Teaching, and Multimedia Teaching Aids. Other guest speakers, Mr. Tony Lo, computer specialist, and Mrs. Su-E Shi, principal of the Ark Chinese School, were invited to demonstrate a preparation for multimedia teaching by the application of Microsoft Office and construct a blog.
There are three lecture highlights: Firstly, performing comic dialogues in Chinese can arouse students’ initiative in learning and encourage retentive memory. Students will learn to appreciate the performance, discuss vocabularies and phrases and imitate to perform. Secondly, multimedia allows a different perspective on good-quality teaching. Thirdly, multimedia has been a powerful, educational tool. Teachers can generate fun, lively and organized learning experience to students by adding audio-visual effect in lectures. Teachers’ messages can be clear and substantial in the run-up. Students can take advantage of the technology in projects.
The conference has broadened my knowledge about the present trend of learning Chinese. Chinese has become the second popular speaking language in the world. As a teacher in Chinese school, I am obliged to contribute myself to the cultural exchange. I am greatly indebted to OCAC, TCWCS and LCS for the wonderful colloquium.
