Li-hsin’s wedding
Sunday, November 30th, 2008Yesterday I went to my former student Li-hsin’s wedding banquet at Taipei Imperial Hotel (華國大飯店）. I taught Li-hsin (張立欣) for two years at Chieh-show Junior High School right before I came to teach at NHSH. His mother was my colleague. At that time she was Dean of Academic Affairs. Here are some photos taken at the banquet. Those who graduated from Chieh-show could have a look at their dear teachers.
Making a Choice

How One Looks When Taking an Exam
Friday, November 28th, 2008When I stand in front of a class, proctoring a test, I can always see clearly who has the intention to cheat. It shows! If there were a mirror before those cheaters, they would be shocked, even disgusted, by how they look at the attempt.

How Students Address Their Teachers
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008How could students address their teachers besides calling them “Teacher” in Chinese?
I love/miss the way my former class 316 called me: Ms. Lee, and how some students in my former class 314 addressed me: 欣～～蓉～～. Sweet!
A Way to Learn English
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008The other day, a student asked me about ways to learn English. I mentioned to her a way my former colleague used. She taught history but was quite interested in English. To polish her English up, she read the editorial of the China Post and translated it into Chinese. Then, she read her Chinese translation and then translated it back into English. Now, she could compare her English translation and the original editorial in the newspaper.

Buddha’s Hand–a Masterpiece by Nature
Saturday, November 22nd, 2008This morning I picked a Buddha’s Hand from the tree in my mother-in-law’s garden for a colleague. (I said sorry to the tree.) It is in the first two photos.
Isn’t it amazing that Mother Nature can produce such a masterpiece? (more…)
