Meet Moral
Moral appeared online at a presentation at the
TESOL Conference in Vancouver, March 17, 2000, at which Vance presented a live
Webheads synchronous chat class with online partners Michael C and Maggi Doty.
See http://www.netword.com/vance@*tesol2000.
He appeared again a year later in our Excite voice chat room to assist in
Vance's presentation at the TESOL Arabia Conference, March 14, 2001. At that
presentation, he said a few words via our online connection to an attentive
audience of 30-40 packing a computer lab. Presentation info is at

To learn more about Yunan, Moral recommends:

I am an English fan in China. I like English, which is believed to
be the most popular language in the world. I hope I can share the language with
all of you and discuss the best way to learn our favorite language.
Let me give you a brief introduction of myself. My name is Moral
Lann. My Chinese name is Lan Daoyi. I am a 29 year-old, male. I now work for
Yunnan Computer Technology Service Company in Kunming, China, as a computer
engineer. I am easy-going. I like reading and learning English. |
 |
My goal for the future regarding the study of English is to work or
study to get more knowledge. And I now study English with Mr. Michael Coghlan,
a dedicated ESL teacher in Australia, who is very kind and warmhearted enough
to teach me a lot about English.
I would like to join the list to get more information about learning
English. And I'd be happy to meet all of you on the list.
Best wishes from China,
Moral Lann
Moral got his wish. Deden responded and asked questions about life in
China.
I live in the city of Kunming, which is located in the southwest of
China, thousands of kilometers away from Beijing. Yes, I am studying English
with Mr. Michael Coghlan by email even now. Yes, most city dwellers in China go
to work by bicycle, many by bus, a few by their cars. I go to work on foot. I
believe your mother Deden has got the right impression about Beijing. In my
city, we don't eat noodles often. Hope you enjoy your noodles everyday.
I am glad to join the efiwebhead list and hear from all of you.

Hi Vance,
Thanks for your greetings. I am just fine. I am still working in the
same place but I think it will change soon. I wanted to get a job in English.
But I haven't made it yet.
It's warming and sunny here in Kunming. Spring is coming.
Hope all of you are fine!

Hi Moral,
just a few words to let you know that your new mail configuration works
well, and to say how fine it is to know you and all the other great people all
around the networld.
The social and learning advantages of communication technique is the
best part of it, but we cannot do anything similar unless the connection lines
are OK!
Thus, tech and social networking are closely intertwined. Hope to see
you online one of these Sundays.
Yours webheaded
Susanne from Denmark

Hi Sunanne, Michael and Webheads,
Thanks for your warm welcomes. I am back because I never forgot all of
you. I am proud of you, my dear friends around the world.
I look forward to seeing you all on sundays.
Best wishes,
Moral

Moral,
I'm very impressed with your persistence, and the effort you have made
to keep in touch with us.
Even though you were not receiving our emails and notices, you have
been coming to our weekly online classes regularly. I know it's not easy to
connect from China, but despite limitations, you have succeeded in joining us
at Tapped In and you have experimented with several phone communications
softwares before settling in with us on Yahoo voice chat.
It's because of people like you that I have made an effort to keep our
website visible to our good friends in China, migrating it from Geocities to
Tripod and finally to Homestead in an effort to keep a step ahead of the
Internet censors.
I just want you to know that I very much appreciate your participation,
and the participation of all Webheads, in whatver it is we are doing.
All the best,
Vance
