Surprise

There was a very special thing happened this afternoon,our writing class teacher invited us to Yummy cafe,and we could attended today's course in English corner.It was very suprised to me and this was my first enter Yummy cafe.I think it is a silent palce and has good environment for customers to enjoy their meals.
However,the teacher of today's English corner was misunderstanding the schedule of this stemster,so he was not arrived on time,and I cheated with my classmates(Kennis,Rita,Ching)during the time to wait him.
Actually,this was not we first to met Tim,he was our new teacher,and his class was very interested to me.
Then,our todat's teacher,Tim,was arrived and start to taught us how to play today's game.The rule was everyone choice a card and answered the question which on your card to other people,there were many kind of questins,for example,my question was"What is the most exciting thing to you",and Rita's question was"think three different things between man and woman".In my poinion,I think it was a nice game for us,because we could shared our experience to other people and also could learned opinions form other people.Finally,I feel a little regret due to today's class was too short,and I have a happy time during today's class.I think English corner give me a good opportunity that I could experience other teacher's teaching and even I have seen him before,it still was a precious experience to me.

Proverb

Today's class was want us to figure out the meaning of some proverbs and teacher also teaught us some common proverbs,for example,The early bird catches the worm.
One of those which he taught us is Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today, I think it is very useful to me because I always put things off tomorrow.
Then,we divided into 5 groups and discussed five different proverbs,well,I thought the first proverb of our grop was very hard to us.So,we started with the second proverb,and we misunderstanding its meaning in the first time,but teacher gave us some suggestions to think the meaning.However,the first proverb still very hard to us because we still couldn't understood what the proverb was talk about.
Finally,we found the right answer of second proverb,but the first proverb still couldn't fight out,anyway,I think proverb is a meaningful thing to us to understand his real meaning,and I could some inspirations form proverbs.

He was come from cape city,a city of South Africa,it is not a industrial city and a nice place to relax yourself.He introduce us many wonderful scenes,such as a beach where full of penguins,the rivers and other beach where has many seals... etc.He also introduce us a place where called lost city,the other name is fotgotten sity,because people will got lost in this city,well..it is just a joke,he said.The city just like Las Vegas,there are many casinos in lost city and it is legal to
gambling.
In addition,he introduce some activities in his hometown,for example,the bungie jumping which they have the hightest place to do this activity and a sport I forget it's name,the game of this sport is very excited,and after the game they will celebrate for it.Therefore,I think his oral report is very completely and we can know the features of his homework very clearly,it is a really nice place to live.

Movie-Chocolta


I want to introduce a movie---Chocolta.
Vianne and her daughter,Anouk.moved into a town and it was a traditional town,residents very conservative and devout.She opened a chocolate shop during the period to abstain from meat in this town,and it was a special shop and decorated very well.Her shop is very different from other shops in the town.When the mayor come to her house to welcome her moved into this town and invited her to the church to do worship.She refused his invite and said that she never go to the church.Due to this reason,the mayor fordided other residents to the chocolate shop.However,Vianne is a free,independ and resolute woman,but in that era,woman used to have little liberty.It it no doubt that she seems very strange in this town.But there still some people to make friends with and changed their stereotype to her. Her chocolate seems have magic and she changed some people's concepts.She evoked people's passion and desire. They were too constrained themselves,they felt relax when they enjoyed Vianne's chocolate and couldn't resisted the charm of chocolate.
The mayor was angry with this thing and declared she is the incarnation of devil. So,people scared her again.She still not give up even there were someing unfair to her.However,the north wind come again,that was the reason why moved home frequently.Vianne's family with no fixed abode to hple other people and pass down the tips of how to cook chocolate.
In my opinion,people should be encouraged to accept new things or to liberate themselves,and it is what the movie"chocolta"want to talk to people. Vianne and mayor's war is a war of thinking and concept.They stand on different position. People should learn to accept new things if it is safely and shouldn't constrain themselves. They should face their desire and their real personality,and express their feeling.

Issue-Movie

There are many types of movies;comedy,action movie,thriller,historical movie and disaster movie.
Comedy always let people laugh and feel relax from the stressed live.However,the action movies are more exciting than comedy,but sometimes the plot may be very cirul and full of violence.Thrillers are pointed on the things which people scare,such as,the ghost or some strange phenomenons.Even people are afraid of those things.They still have the curiosity want to firure out what happen.In addition,the movies which described the story of heros or history also very popular,for example, Alexander is an encourage movie,we can see the characteristic of a hero and the courage he in the movie.Therefore,the disaster movies usually give me some inspirations and it is also a issue we should care about."The Day after Tomorrow"is an example,we can't doubt the possible that these scenes in the movie will come true on day.we should protect earth and try to do some methods to rescue eath or we will regret and pay for it ond day.

Respond to Qusetion 4

Accoubding to CLA's proposal,women on maternity leave would receive monthly compensation of NT$13,500 for six months,and Husbands who ask for paternity leave would receive the same amount of compensation.This proposal is for those country which want to raise their birth rate and to encourage more fathers to share the responsibilities to take care of baby.
However,many people think this policy is not enough for familys,for example,the spokesperson of LRA,Wang Juan-ping,doubts this policy due to the amout of compensation is not enough.Actually,woman earn 20~30 percent less than men in the average,so the man's income is surely a family's main revenue source,for this reason,most father think that isn't enough to pay their expenditure and to give up their normal salary.
In my opinion,government could set a policy that woman who give a birth would receive a compensation,to encourage family to have more kids and provid some proposal of eduication,such as children in Europe could have free eduication until they greature from university,if this could execute in Taiwan,it may reduce many parents' burden of economy.However,if the government could set some policy to improve the social security to help the new mother,the birth rate will raise quickly.

Environment Issue-Poisonous Powdered Milk

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/09/21/china.tainted.milk/index.html
I want to talk about Environment issue.
The issue about poisonous powdered milk is a hot topic of conversation that disturb the public.
After China's poisonous powdered milk has reported by the news,people around the world take attention to their health.It is a terrible thing for people to figure out how many poisonous powdered milk form China we have drank in the past and it also bring a serious influence.
For example,milk tea now in Taiwan is a unsalable article,powdered milk is same,many parents are worry about their baby has drank the poisonous powdered milk.

In my opinion,make poisonous powdered milk is a thing that disobey the morals and it will bring some serious problems,for instance,not only the adult but also the baby will has the opportunity to drink the powdered milk .In the other hand,we let our little baby drink poisonous powdered milk ,It it is a terrible thing,little baby's health is under a dangerous state,even die by this.Have the markers considered this problem?
