today
I had my first class at 8 this morning, and it was an reading class, taught by our foreign English teacher.
I love his class because I agree with his teaching style, method and the goal he focuses on, which are so different from those of other teachers. I just think that all the English classes should be taught by native teachers. Our teachers always say that for example, your accent is not nature, your writing is so rigid and natives do not say things the way you do. However, they are not natives themselves!!!!! Who empowers them to judge our doing from also a non-native perspective?
I should have a PE class now, but the class is cancelled because some athletes are taking over the playground, it's a good news for me because I have a lot of things to do this afternoon, I was afraid that I can't finish them but now I have plenty of time.
Since there is no night class today, I'll watch a movie and enjoy myself. Recently I've been thinking about grand narrative and our true, real life. Many people love to exaggerate their feelings and use the imcompatible words to describe that. It seems that words' power has been eliminated and this isn't I want to see. I'm still longing to see personalized expression and feeling. That will be interesting.
By the way, here is a composition I wrote today:) and it's feedback of the passage Diogenes and Alexander.
This passage focuses on Diogenes, Alexander, and their famous encounter.
The author first sketches the two men separately, their figures, their habits and their ways of living. One sleeps in a clay jar and begs for bread and olives; the other commands an empire and dreams of conquering the world. Then comes the encounter. And in that brief moment, the author shows that beneath their wildly different identities, backgrounds, and ambitions, they share something unexpected, a similar philosophy of life.
Diogenes’ answer—“Stand to one side, you’re blocking my sunlight”—has become legendary, not because it’s clever, but because it’s raw. It doesn’t sound like something a beggar would say to the most powerful man on earth. But that’s exactly the point. He owns nothing,no house, no money, not even a decent cloak. Yet what does he ask for? Sunlight. Not gold, not land, not mercy. Just the sun. For Diogenes, the sun is more valuable than all the treasures of Persia. It’s natural, free, and nobody can take it away. That longing for natural things over artificial ones is the core of his cynicism.
For Alexander, he doesn’t get angry. He doesn’t laugh either, not mockingly. He steps aside. He is a true gentleman, or perhaps a man who recognizes in this shabby philosopher a kind of freedom he himself will never have. One calls for sunlight; The other lets it through. But in that moment, both stand in the same light.

In English, “natives” on its own means “people who were born in a specific place” or, often, “members of primitive tribes.” In most contexts, it’s best to add “speakers” or “speaking” after “native” if you’re referring to native speakers.
I know what you mean about native-speaking teachers, but I’m not sure I agree. Recalling all of the teachers I’ve had for the various languages I’ve studied over the years (Spanish, Latin, Chinese, German and Japanese), I was fortunate enough to have several excellent teachers, but only about half of them were native speakers. All of my Chinese teachers were native speakers, though, and Chinese is the only language I speak fluently, besides my native English. 🤷♂️

Our teachers always say that, for example, your accent is not natural, your writing is so rigid and native speakers do not say things the way you do.
Using “your” in indirect quotes like this is fine in informal writing, but if you wanted to be more formal, it would be best to present them as direct quotes:
Our teachers always say, for example, “Your accent is not natural” or “Your writing is so rigid and native speakers do not say things the way you do.”
However, they are not native speakers themselves!!!!! However, they are not native speakers themselves!!!!!

I have Chinese friends who grew up in China, never traveling overseas until their 40s, but whose English pronunciation and grammar are better than 99% of native English speakers I know, so it is possible for non-native English speakers to be qualified to judge students in the way you describe. However, I have no idea if any of your teachers are like my friends. :-)

This doesn’t read like feedback. Maybe you could call it “commentary” or your “reflection” on the passage.
A “passage” is an excerpt from a longer work. In my correction, I’ve assumed that “Diogenes and Alexander” is the title of the passage. Or do you mean this is a passage from a work called “Diogenes and Alexander”?

There are several versions of this story, written in Greek, Latin and perhaps some other languages, each giving a different version of this quote. And of course, there are many different English translations of these originals. Which translation are you reading?

An impressive composition! It’s more polished than your usual writing here—well done.

'an' is used when the next word starts with a vowel or the next word starts with a vowel sound.
