Chinese Summer Camp, a daily fee of 30 yuan, you will get a 5 dollar deduction for speaking English (Alberta Times) Southern California Chinese School Association 2011 Startalk language and culture summer camp for middle school students concluded on the 6th. 72 Chinese students were divided into two phases. They learned and used Chinese in a Chinese environment for a week and made remarkable progress. General convener Xu Xiaonong said that unlike in the past, where teachers were assigned to use their six-week summer vacation to teach Chinese students from the mainstream society, this year Startalk has undergone major reforms, targeting Chinese students who have mastered an intermediate level of Chinese and are about to enter sixth to ninth grade this fall. This year’s summer camp requires all students to stay in accommodation and conduct free Chinese reading, Chinese conversation, writing reading reflections and literary creation in Chinese typing. Xu Xiaonong emphasized that Chinese schools currently lack reading materials suitable for Chinese students. This Startalk summer camp specially provides a creative platform for senior students. They use their imagination to write literary stories and illustrate them. All outstanding works will have the opportunity to be published in volumes. This is not only an affirmation of students' own Chinese abilities, but also a rare Chinese school teaching material. Xu Xiaonong said that in order to encourage children to use Chinese more, each student will receive 30 yuan when they get up every morning. If they are found to speak English, they will deduct 5 yuan. The method is so effective that you can hardly hear students communicating in English.
