我第一次訪問(wèn)中國(guó)是在1993年，當(dāng)時(shí)去了大連，在遼寧師范大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)了一段時(shí)間。我非常珍惜那段回憶，并將其視為我人生中最美好的時(shí)光之一。我在那里遇到了優(yōu)秀的教授，也交到了一輩子的好朋友。在訪問(wèn)大連10多年后，我于2007年再次訪問(wèn)了中國(guó)。我為中國(guó)發(fā)展變化所驚嘆，比如北京的一些地方已令我認(rèn)不出來(lái)，變化很大，發(fā)展也很快。

The first time I visited China, it was in 1993, when I went to Dalian. And I spent some timein Liaoning Normal University. I really cherish those memories as one of the best periods in my life. I had excellent professors thereand I also got friends for a lifetime.

Next time I visited China, more than 10 yearsafter my visit to Dalian, in 2007, and I was really impressed with the changes in China with the development. For example, I barely recognized some parts of Beijing. Changes were really good and big, and the development was tremendous.
