Thank you for revising I assume that teaching is a very localised business, so it makes more sense to attend a teaching program where you are planning to work.

Thank you for revising. These three paragraphs are from my paper. This checklist is designed for instructors of Chinese as a Second Language (CSL) programs to decide if the HSK (reading part) is a proper test for their program and select other tests. They are able to check the items one by one and compare the scores in order to evaluate if the HSK is suitable for their programs’ achievement tests. Furthermore, if there are other candidate tests, this checklist also provides a framework of evaluating the test. Test user only need to adjust the scoring numbers of each items according to the features of the candidate test. CSL programs have different goals and curriculum designs. In universities, there are two kinds of streams in general: academic focused and general language ability focused. A specific and detailed test report is needed, if the teacher or program wanted to offer further help to students, or if program coordinators, teachers and students tried to evaluate the teaching, test, and program by themselves. However, on the other hand, if the program coordinator wants to compare their achievement with other programs’, for example, all of the programs that use Hanban textbooks want to compare their teaching qualities, the HSK score may be a good reference.

Thank you for revising P1: It is interesting that in China the most bustling commercial area of a city is always at the centre of the city, while in a Western city it is usually at one end of the city. That's why in Chinese we say "shizhongxin(the center of the city)"while in English it is called downtown. P2: At my second year I met a professor in history department in my university. I attended his classes and found history was interesting. He also encouraged me to follow my own passion. I kept attending his class and did some research paper. Finally when I graduated from economics department I applied to be his graduate student. My specialty is economics history in Qing Dynasty. Actually I started to do some research when I was in economics department in this field, using economical approaches. However I found historic methods was more convincing. I preferred reading primary materials, going back to the institution and people to find the answer, instead of manipulating data. That was another reason I switched to history department.
