Special guest speaker
Hi, I am bringing a little boy to our class tomorrow. This boy is a student of mine, who has learnt Chinese for one year and speaks Chinese in a nearly-native accent. I believe he will be a great motivation for you all. I'll ask him to introduce himself in Chinese and then you guys will introduce yourselves in Chinese too. He will sing a song to us that he has learnt and you guys will sing the song we learnt last semester to him. You can also prepare some questions in Chinese for him.
I look forward to introducing him to you!
