Exquisite Corpse & Student Profile

Two of our students played the Exquisite Corpse game, where each student writes a sentence or two of a story, and then they trade. The game was invented by French Surrealists during the early twentieth century.

 

One of the Exquisite Corpse writers is Daisy, who says:

"Hi! My name is Yi Dai, but you also can call Daisy. I’m from Chongqing, China. My hometown is a small city that is located in southwest of China, but we are known for mountains, the Yangzi River, spicy food and beautiful girls. I have been with ALA for half a year. In ALA, I had more opportunities to practice English skills, and also to meet more new friends from different countries. I have lived in Greensboro for almost three years, and I love this small town. People are friendly here, they smile to you on the street and they are willing to help other people. I went to a lot of places around Greensboro, and I believe there are more interesting places that I should explore. Soon, I plan to start my PhD program in computer science. I focus on wireless information security and cloud computation. In fact, after I finish my study plan, I prefer to work for banks or online stores. These companies have to update their protections frequently to protect their business secrets and consumers’ account information. However, in the near future, I plan to finish my Master’s Degree and find a job that can help me gain more experience and practice what I have learned."
