e.g. (1) She behaved stoically during the final phase of her husband's illness. (2)They endured all kinds of hardships stoically.

fence n. structure of rails, stakes, wire, etc., esp. one put
round a field or garden to mark a boundary or keep animals from straying
e.g.: (1) The backyard is enclosed with a high wire fence. (2) The field is surrounded with a stake fence.
How did the author describe the classroom where they attended Chinese lessons?
There were little chairs in an empty auditorium
What else was stressed in the Chinese school besides the emphasis on speaking, reading and writing?
This paragraph, the beginning of the narrative text, provides the background of the story. From this we readers learn that the Chinese school on Yale Street, where the author and her brother used to go 10 years ago continues to exist there, remaining remarkably and stoically the same, despite its new coat of paint and its fence.
Politeness was also emphasized in the school. The lessons always began with an exercise in politeness. With the entrance of the teacher, the best student would tap a bell and all the children would get up, kowtow, and chant, "Sing san ho, " the phonetic for "How are you, teacher?"
