Good Morning
(In Chinese) It's already December. Last week I came here from China...
...and today it's my first day at a Spanish high school, though I already imagined it would be like this.
I'm nervous; I see people passing by and going in. I have doubts. I'm trying to figure out what is going to happen.
I'm willing to learn, though.
Go for it. Zhan Wen!
- Lara Lopez... - Me
I don't understand anything. Anything at all. What am I going to do?
- It seems we have a new student.
-Tell us your name
- "Jose Manuel". What's your name?!
- Zhan Wen, - Chan Wuheng?
-Zhan...Wen - Chan Weng?
- Zhan Wen - CHAM!
- Wen - Yes, yes. Just..."Cham"
- no-chin chang!
- now we start the exercises...
He's pronouncing it wrong! Besides he's just saying my surname. In China we say the surname first and then the first name.
I'm sad and I don't want to study anymore. I don't want to do anything.
- You have just come here to the high school so we're going to learn how to greet someone in the morning.
Here we say "buenos dias" (good morning). And in your country...
- (Girl) Buon Giorno...Buenos Dias. - (Teacher) Right! The teacher friendlier, but I don't understand her either.
Zao shang hao
- Now everybody at once in Spanish: "!Buenos dias!
- !Buenos dias! (Good morning!)
- Buenos dias
Good morning
Good morning
Good morning!
Good morning!
Good morning
Good morning.
Oh my God! I can't take it anymore! I have been studying 'til 4 in the morning two weeks in a row
My friends are mad at me 'cause I couldn't hang out with them these days.
My boyfriend thinks I was with my friends, you know? And my parents don't know that I got 4 out of 10 in the exam.
4! I can't reach the average mark to pass the subject. I haven't a clue! I don't know what to do.
I feel lonely. I feel that no one understands me...
She reminds me of my best friends there in China.
Why?Why? No matter how hard I try, I'll never be the best,
I will always be worse than everybody else.
In class, nobody likes me, they think I'm so haughty. They walk away from me.
All my efforts are worthless.
It's alright. You have me, if you're gold, you'll shine.
Be patient and try harder. That's what you have to do for the moment.
My friend gives such good advice. That's true. I must try harder.
I know what to do: take the step.
I'm lost. I don't know what to do. I don't know. I don't know.
!buenos dias! (Good morning!)
- Do you understand me? - Buenos dias! (Good morning!)
I see. My name's Lara. What's your name?
- Zhan Wen - Zhan Wen
- Wen - Just "Wen". OK.
By the way. !Buenos dias! Come, let me show you the high school.
- you know? When you learn some Spanish you'll be fine around here.
I've managed to communicate with her! I think I made a new friend.
There's a lot to learn and I feel so good.
Today is a great day.
