  Beijing Olympic Games is drawing near. How will we greet foreigners then? Old citizens in a community in Jiangdong seem eager to learn English from foreigners now.

  The teacher is form Canada. To our surprise, he is quite good at speaking Chinese. This helps him a lot in communicating with these old men. The teacher is now telling students how to greet foreigners and introduce themselves when meeting foreigners for the first time.

  The old men here say they may have the chance to guide foreigners and introduce their hometown to foreigners. This will be also a way to be involved in Olympic Games.

  A resident said when interviewed, "I want to go to Beijing and I want to talk to foreigners, so I come to study English."
