Learning English for Free
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009
Last Saturday I came across a useful 84-page book at Eslite: 不花錢學英文. It introduces 30 web sites, which are grouped into 6 categories: Beginners (啟蒙力), Listening and Speaking (聽說力), Reading (閱讀力), Writing (寫作力), Examination (應試力), and Hobbies (興趣力). The book devotes 2 pages for each web site. It first describes the features of the site and then in the section “Step by Step” guides the readers through it. A helpful book for those who prefer to learn English on their own. (more…)

A List of English Novels Recommended to High School Seniors
Friday, February 13th, 2009This morning seven 314 students and a former 316 student came back to school. Seeing their happy faces, I was elated.
The stduent from former Class 316 is Miranda (萬修安), who is an English major at National Central University. I asked her to recommend some good English novels for high school seniors. She mentioned some, and she said she would make a list and put it on my blog. Well, she did. Just now I found her list on my LifeType blog. Here is the list.
What Difference Can 30 Minutes Make?
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009Annie and I chatted on the phone tonight. I told her that I’m quite interested in the book she mentioned several days ago in her blog It Takes Only 30 Minutes A Day (每天只要三十分鐘). She told me the author of that book pointed out that even if we are not graduates of top schools, as long as we spend 30 minutes every day learning something all our life, we can be as good as or even better than those graduated from prestigious schools in some aspect. If you are interested in this idea, you can visit Annie’s blog:
