For those who read my blog, here I have a question.
What is the most impressive English song you’ve learned in class?
Please answer the question by leaving it as a comment. If you forget the title of the song, you can just key in a line or two. Thank you. Reason(s) for choosing the song would be more than welcome.
A very touching story at this year’s Beijing Olympic Games. My student Etta sent me a Chinese version by email. When I read it, I just couldn’t stop my tears from flowing down my cheeks.
Then I found this story run by The Taipei Times.

Finally, I finished the story of the three-day trip in Macau. In fact, I regretted a little bit after I wrote about the first day because it took me a lot of time to type Chinese and add photos. However, I told myself, “You can’t quit.” And finally I finished it.
When I asked Diego to give the NHSH students a piece of advice yesterday at our gathering, he said that being able to control oneself is the key to success. I can’t agree more. Self-discipline counts a lot.
第二天竟然睡到8：20才起床。
決定先去漁人碼頭走走。颱風警報解除了，有公車可以搭，真好！澳門的公車站牌好體貼，顧及到向我這種個兒小的人，看站名時不必仰天長嘯。
在澳門搭公車若在澳門本島車資是澳幣2.5元，若要離島，則要3.3元。 (more…)
難得用中文寫網誌。為了提供資訊給更多人，這次遊記及心得就用中文寫吧。
從未想過要去澳門，印象中澳門就等於賭場。但因只安排了三天行程，只好選擇近的地方，香港又去過了，最後決定去澳門。
行前上網看了一點資訊，學生Diego也建議了一些可去看的地方，KK Travel也提供了一小冊澳門介紹。 (more…)
Dear Etta,
You must have been to Macau. Only those who’ve been there know three days is too short for this fascinating place. Though far smaller than Hong Kong, Macau is rich in culture in its own way. Before I went there, I thought three days might be too long. However, on the third day, I found there were still many places I had planned to visit but didn’t. Well, a good excuse for me to go there again.
It’s my third and last day in Macau. This evening I’ll return to Taiwan. I might feel reluctant to leave Macau because there are still many places I haven’t had the chance to visit. However, as a line in a song says, “east, west, home is best.” The feeling of going home is definitely sweet.
Today is the second day of my trip to Macau. Of course, I’m going to open my eyes and ears to every new place and new thing. Being a curious person, I love traveling. How I wish I could travel around the world one day!
I’m going to Macau today for a 3-day vacation. My former studnet Diego (邱元亨) will spend time with Classes 313 and 314 in the morning. I believe my students will learn a lot from him. He is a special person, knowing a lot about many things, such as Asia, fashion, cars, sports, etc. When he was in his second year at NHSH, he used to talk to me at noon, in English. I was amazed at how much he knew and his good memory of the historical events and geographical facts. A very special student.
