Moral in China: here is..
Vance in Dubai (Liz): Hi Moral - we are in the Palace now but I'm new to the palace!
Moral in China: Ok, just chat in this way.
Maggi: it is easier
Vance in Dubai (Liz): OK - Vance is trying to demonstrate to us how to use the chat room and the Palace - but we are about a doxen people so he's quite busy - he says I should click on something - but what?
Maggi: depends on what you want to do
Vance in Dubai (Liz): What can you do please Maggi?
Maggi: here you can chat in writing
Moral in China: see the doors? you can click and get in.
Vance in Dubai (Liz): That's great - I thought perhaps we could go into the palace together - Ok I'll try to click on the door
Vance in Dubai (Liz): Ok - is this a cinema - is anyone coming in with me?
Moral in China: how does it feel ?
Vance in Dubai (Liz): Hi Moral - thanks for following me - it felt lonely in here
Moral in China: yes. nobody was here.
Vance in Dubai (Liz): It feels great - I feel very close to you, although you are in China
Moral in China: me too.
Moral in China: let's get out?
Vance in Dubai (Liz): In the real room where I am sitting, everyone is very pleased to see you sitting with me here - but where can we go now?
Moral in China: click the back botton on the right side of the screen.
Moral in China: blue arrow.
Vance in Dubai (Liz): I'm searching - I am using a laptop computer and it's not like my PC at home. sorry for keeping you waiting
Moral in China: it's ok.
Vance in Dubai (Liz): vance is busy talking to the others so he can't show me the back button - I feel silly because I know where it is on my computer. sorry again.
Moral in China: you can click the blue arrow close to the room. it's ok.
Vance in Dubai (Liz): thanx a lot - I interrupted vance - he's a very kind person and we are really enjoying his session.
Moral in China: Ok... i think so. that's why we study here.
Vance in Dubai (Liz): He told us you come to this class every week - is it always on Thursday?
Moral in China: usually we come here on sundays.
Moral in China: but today we come here for Vance's presentation.
Vance in Dubai: hi testing (Liz got a strange screen up and Vance is setting it all right)
Vance in Dubai (Liz): sorry Moral - this is Liz again - I think I touched something I shouldn't have and I lost the screen - it's quite tricky using a laptop computer.
Moral in China: I can see you on the screen.
Vance in Dubai (Liz): You can see me? You mean that little creature with its eyes closed? or me with the long dark hair and glasses?
Moral in China: i can see you with the green ball with eyes.
Vance in Dubai (Liz): That's good - yesterday we had the first day of our conference here in the UAE and I made a presentation - they put it on the Web and I was really scared - but Vance said it was OK he saw it.
Moral in China: sorry, i am at the homestead chat at the same time. so i respond a little late.
Moral in China: Vance has a lot of experiences teaching online.
Vance in Dubai (Liz): don't worry - where are you in China? I have been to Beijing, Xian, Guangzhou and Hong Kong.
Moral in China: i am in Kunming, the south-west of China.
Vance in Dubai (Liz): I'm sure it is beautiful there - I have read about it. Are you studying in school or university?
Moral in China: yes, i think so. ..... i am a computer engineer.
Moral in China: i like English.
Vance in Dubai (Liz): I am an English teacher like Vance - but I don't know a lot about computers - I'm just a beginner.
Moral in China: it's fast to leanr it.
Vance in Dubai (Liz): I hope so - like English you have to keep trying, don't you? It must be evening in Kunming - it's 3.30 in the afternoon here.
Moral in China: it is 7 pm here.
Moral in China: webheads is good place to keep me trying english.
Moral in China: i meant it is 7:40 here.
Vance in Dubai (Liz): Yes, it's a great idea. Keep trying - I think I have to go now. So goodbye from me, and good luck, Moral. Thanks for talking to me.
Moral in China: thank you for being here. bye!
Vance in Dubai: Moral, Vance here. Thanks a lot for handling this part of the chat. Your're great!
Moral in China: it's ok.

Vance in Dubai (Cheri): Hi Moral. My name is Cheri. I am at a conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Vance is showing us how this Virtual Palace works. This is my first experience with this.
Moral in China: Hi , Welcome!
Moral in China: Nice to meet you here!
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): It's very interesting to be alble to chat with people on
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): Are you studying English?
Moral in China: sometimes i feel surprise i can't chat with people around the world.
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): Why do you say that?
Moral in China: yes, i am a webheads student.
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): As a webhead student how do you feel assisted in your learning by this technology?
Moral in China: i just think i sit in the little room and tall to people the world over and learn english. is't it amaizing?
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): It is very amazing! I really like it!
Moral in China: it is a place for me to use enlilsh.
Moral in China: and i can get my works corrected here.
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): Aside from practising your English do you feel the webheads site helps you?
Moral in China: yes.
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): Could you explain a little please?
Moral in China: i study enlgish with students from the world.
Moral in China: and it interests me very much.
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): How do you get your work corrected?
Moral in China: teachers correct my works.
Moral in China: by emails.
Moral in China: and we have a mailing-list too.
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): OK, now I see.
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): What kinds of topics do you discuss on the mailing list?
Moral in China: all kinds of topics we talk about.
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): What kind of topics?
Moral in China: for example, i talk about tainwan issue with students in taiwan.
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): Interesting.
Moral in China: and we taled about making Webheads T-shirts and ......
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): Neato.
Moral in China: almost everything.
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): That's great.
Moral in China: anyway, it is great to learn english online.
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): I agree with you. I want to start using this with my students here in my classes in Dubai.
Moral in China: you can have students all over the world if you put your course online.
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): Yes. I wonder how to manage the time differences for everyone. While we are awake you might be asleep.
Moral in China: it is a problem i think.
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): It is now 4 pm here. What time is it there now?
Moral in China: but mailing-list can solve it.
Moral in China: it is 8 pm here.
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): Yes, a mailing list is good but then you do not have "live" communication. You open the message whenever you can.
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): There is something very special about real time communication. Don't you agree?
Moral in China: yes i agree.
Moral in China: we also talk to teacher on ICQ. so i alway find times they are awake.
Vance in Dubai (Cheri): It has been great "talking" to you. I have to leave now. My colleagues are waiting for me. Bye.
Moral in China: bye.
Moral in China: nice talking to you.
Vance in Dubai: Thanks. Nice talking to you to.
Vance in Dubai: Moral, vance here again. Thanks again for talking to all these peopel.
Moral in China: you are welcome vance.
