self-intro (cont.) 个人简介（续）

你好，来到这儿，想必单单那三张图不能满足你的好奇心是吧？这里就给你说说那三张图背后所代表的意义吧 🙂
yh4
这张图代表了我们一家四口（太太和两个孩子）。为什么”yh4″呢？因为我们的中文名字的拼音缩写都是“Y”+”H”，故四个人就是YH4，不难懂吧 🙂 这回来复旦留学，我们全家都来到上海了。一家人嘛，总是分不开的。
beatty
这是我之前执教的学校，培德中学的校徽。我是中学华文教师，我在培德教了三年半后就申请到教育部教育科技司ä任职，在那待了两年八个月。运用科技于语文教学是我的兴趣，网记（blog）、网上论坛(discussion forum)是其中两个例子。我在教育科技司除了一些小研究之外，主管《文化桥》网站也是我的任务之一。我目前是停职留学，回国后还是继续教书的 🙂
guzheng（ 取自:http://www.yangzichan.com/）
这是一台古筝侧面的照片。我热爱华乐，曾参加过几个华乐团。古筝是我的独奏乐器，在乐队里，更多的时候我是拉二胡的。这几年由于工作的缘故，已经好一段时间没有练习了，手指也都不听使唤了。若你也是喜欢或学习华乐的，不妨和我说一声，那么我也就多了一个在海外的玩华乐的朋友了 🙂
写了那么多因该够满足你的好奇心了吧？若不然就请用
msn messenger和我联系吧，我们网上再叙！我的帐号是tyhan [在] hotmail [点] com （按：你须要把 “在” 和 ”点“ 转换成它们相应的 @ 和 . 符号方可）
谢谢！ 🙂
