Note: Entry edited to add the links to survey 1,2 and 3.

Please let me know if you did the survey or forwarded the links to other people. I want to know so that I know where to send my thanks to.

Like I’ve mentioned in my entry dated 10 March 2008, I’m looking for people to fill in questionnaires/surveys. It will only take you a couple of minutes and the results of the surveys will help me to complete my thesis. Some people (unfortunately, only a few) have already filled in my surveys and I’m so grateful to them. Still, I need to find more people! I’m running out of time.

If you’ve replied Yes to 1 ,2 ,3 or 4 and would like to help me by taking my questionnaire/survey, please contact me in the comment form below or by using the contact form found here. ( <- Click the word here) If you already know my hotmail or gmail address, you can also email me directly.

If you’ve replied Yes to 5, do you mind forwarding the link to my surveys or the link to this entry to those persons? (From primary school students to adults, anyone, as long as they correspond to any of the 4 categories.)

I’m finding it hard to find primary school students to fill in the survey. I’m aware that primary school students might have trouble understanding all the words in the survey and maybe don’t even use the computer. Parents/brothers/sisters/cousins please help them. Please think. Do you have neighbours with kids studying the Chinese language? Do you have little brothers/sisters/cousins who are studying the Chinese language? Or what about your friend’s little brother/sister/cousin?

All the 4 different surveys are available in paper or online version. The ‘intro’ page of both versions gives some explanation about my survey. All the surveys are in English and the one for the teachers is also available in Chinese. (Link available on request)

The online versions will be more convenient for a lot of people (as well as me)…. As for the paper versions, they are only available to people who are in Mauritius right now and who really can’t do the online surveys. My family lives in Port-Louis. My sister can meet up with people to give them the paper surveys but I don’t want to trouble her unless really necessary.

Please help me. Thank you!

Thank you Morinn, Kevin, Karina, Karen Y, Wendy, Tracy,Rosemary, Joanne, Clive, Pat, those 50+ years old people & the secondary students I don’t know but who took the survey, the 15 teachers who took the survey so far,the anonymous persons who took the survey, Kevin T & Oliver for the info and of course my family, especially my sis Cel who had to go many places for me. List will be updated accordingly.
You will all (if you’ve left your email address or if I know it ) get a Thank you email from me as soon as this is all over.
I’ll be your free guide if you come to Shanghai when I’m still here. Or if I’m not around, I’ll link you up with my friends in Shanghai or other parts of China. It mght sound unbelievable to those people who don’t know me but I’ve done it a couple of times already when people contacted me to let me know that they are coming. Else, see you all in Mauritius(in a couple of months) or in SG or Msia or CA (the countries on my GO TO list so far)
