“ Hi, my name is Monica Winthrop and I
am from Phonix, Arizona in the United
States. I am 24 years old. After learning
about teaching English in China, I knew
this is something that I had to do. I love
learning about new cultures, I love trying
new foods, I love traveling, and most
importantly I love educating people about
my own culture. I know that by giving
some the chance to study English, I am
providing them with the opportunity to
better their futures. Upon coming to
China, I am excited for my complete new
life
style and I know that it’s going to be a
completely different environment and I
am really excited about all of this. I am
looking forward to hearing back and I
can’t wait to see what the future holds
for me and my new life in China. Thank
you. “
