Yayun, I still don’t really understand. So is this school of yours public or independent?
We’re an independent middle school mainly supported by the Chinese community.
What classes do you have every day? What languages are they taught in?
Mainly language and literature; of course, also math, geography, history and so forth. Our language of instruction is Chinese.
Your school accepts only female students and doesn’t accept male students; aren’t there classmates of yours who feel that it’s too dry and uninteresting and lacking in variety?
Though it’s not as much fun as coeducation would be, discipline at girls’ schools is better.
Penang is so interesting! Could you briefly introduce its history and distinctive cultural features?
Penang used to be a British colony; the great majority of the inhabitants are immigrants who came from southern China and India, and there are also the island’s Malay native peoples, so Penang’s culture is diverse and multi-ethnic.
