Melody’s Presentation, on the Calgary Study Tour and Writing Projects
Monday, October 18th, 2010This afternoon, Melody (陳美麗老師) gave a presentation on this summer’s three-week Calgary study tour, based on her observation as one of the leaders.

About Mingkun’s Speech
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010This afternoon, in the first 8 minutes, I asked Class 209 to write down whatever they remembered about or learned from Mingkun’s speech last Friday. Here is what they mentioned:
1. HOPEFUL。
2. 成功背後總有許多努力，每天讀書三小時，對於不在行的科目更加以練習及複習。每個人一天都有24小時，能夠充實的利用且不懈的努力，或許不行也能變成可能。 (more…)
