Chinese New Year is reunion time for friends and relatives

Packing these hampers really brings about the sense of Chinese New Year is just around the corner. Wrapping these hampers is relatively easy for me, and it takes me around 20 minutes to complete one. However, the challenge is in teaching others here to do so. Sometimes, there are language barriers, and also some of my fellow workers have hearing problems. I usually teach in groups of 2 or 3, but each individual has very different learning needs. Thus, I adapt different methodologies to teach each one. The important thing is that one must have patience.

During Chinese New Year, I go on the usual visits to my family and friends’ homes. I look forward to Chinese New Year every year, as I only get to meet some of my friends during this time of the year due to their work commitments and such.
