Sarah,  you have such a lovely accent! It's very rare to hear proper English here in America,  so it was a real pleasure hearing you speak.

Dear Amber/Pete/other 老师，

I heard the phrase "yi ban ban" or something like it, which is supposed to be similar to 马马虎虎。 Can I trouble you to type out the Chinese  for "yi ban ban " ?  Thanks a bunch!

I got another one: Taiwanese people almost never say 再见 (zaijian).  They almost always say bye bye. My take is, that Taiwanese people are the Japan of Chinese. The Japanese have an entire alphabet just for all of their foreign(mostly English) loan words.  我的意思就是说台湾人非常爱说英文。 他们连在说中文的时候也会说英文。而且台湾人常常只喜欢用他们的英文名字， 像Jenny 老师一样。
