Kiki's HW - Assignment 7

1. I interviewed my mom and asked her a lot of questions that I haven’t asked. I learned a lot from the interview, and I know my mom is working very hard in taking care of me. All I want say is thank you mom, I love you.

2. Recently I have seen news saying that over 60% of middle school students in Taiwan are addicted to Facebook. Moreover, the report said that these students obtained most of their information from the site, and that 25% of the students who are using Facebook, spent more than two hours on it everyday. This is a bad situation because students should not spend so much time social networking. I mean of course making friends and communicate with friends is important, but learning is as important as well. And it’s also not good for students to staring at a monitor for so long, it’s bad for their eyes!

3. Yes, there is a huge events coming up in Taiwan, and it’s Taiwan’s 2012 presidential election. This is a very important event for the Taiwanese citizen to participate because this event matters to Taiwan’s future. For now, it is kind hard to predict who will win the election because the current poll for the three candidates is really close. Other than this, I have read a news saying that Taipei just got elected for the 2017 Summer World University Games. This is great news and I am happy because Taiwan needs to participate in more international events like this.

5. I recently try and tested a stuff I like，and I felt happy because of it.

Gao/Bolt's HW - Assignment 7

1. The person who I interviewed is my mother, and here is the conversation:
Me: Which candidate will win the 2012 presidential election? Mr.Ma or Ms.Tsai?
Mom: I have no ideas. But the person who will keep his promises to the people is the best.
Me: Thank you for your answers.
Mom: You are welcome.
By interviewing my mom, I learned that a president should not only take care of the people, but also, keep his promises.

2. The presidential election of 2012 will be held soon, it is said that Ms.Tsai’s current poll is higher than that of President Ma’s, but let’s wait for one more month to see who will win the election!

3. There is a belief that the world is going to end in 2012. However, some people believe it whereas others don’t. But it is true that our Earth has becoming weaker and weaker every day. If nothing is change and everything remains the same, I think our world is going to end soon even if no one mentions about it.

2. In Taiwan, there is big news about the presidential election that’s coming next month. I am anxious too, and I am waiting to see who will win the election.

4. Our government is discussing about a new law. Which stated passengers have to buckle their seatbelt even if they are sitting at the back. They think this is a good law because the law will make people safer. At first, I thought this law is bad because I always think the government only wants money and don’t care about people’s life, but maybe I am wrong.

5. One day, I was going to the washroom in my school, and while I was peeing, I saw a bird walking on the roof, then it pooed. I have never seen a bird pooed like that! How funny!

Eric's HW - Assignment 7

1. I interviewed my brother. I asked him what you like the most, and he said “money”. How funny is that huh?

2. I have seen the news about presidential election that is coming in Taiwan. I think this is a good thing because people should have the right to change the party in control if it is not doing well.

3. I live in Linbian, Linbian is my hometown and my home is near Linbian Elementary School. I like Linbian, it is a very quiet place, the environment is clean and everybody is nice to each other.

4. Do you know America’s president Obama?

Do you know why he wants to be a president? I think it’s because he wants to prove to everyone that black people is just like white people, that they can do everything that white people can. What are your thoughts?

5. I learned how to write messages on facebook. I like facebook because I think it’s a wonderful way to communicate with friends. Another funny thing, I remember that when I was grade two I always like to step on to the stool. Funny right?

Terry's HW - Assignment 7

1. I interviewed my dad, and asked him a lot of questions. I learned more about him, he is a really cool dad!

2. Recently in Taiwan, there is a lot of news about the presidential election that is coming. The battle is between the two major political parties in Taiwan, the KMT and the DDP. Of course, both parties try to recommend itself, but it’s questionable if they will do as promise. I think they should try their best to achieve their policy, if it’s good, rather than saying and do nothing.

3. As previously mentioned, there is an important presidential election coming in Taiwan. However, if KMT is going to change to DDP, then it is expectable that some of Taiwan’s current policy may change. For Taiwanese people, it is important that they should know a change in government will either make you rich, or poorer.

Friendly suggestion: I think it is a good thing if we have a change in government this year, because the current political party, the KMT, is not doing well. I think it’s time to give DDP a chance to see if they can and will change Taiwan as they promised.

4. Dear penpal:

What do you think about power exchange of political parties?

In my opinion, I think it is a good thing in a democratic society. However, if everything remains the same, then it is probably because more than half of the people are sustain the government.

5. There is something funny occurred lately in my school. Some of my friends stayed together in front of the school, and suddenly a teacher came towards them, ask what are they doing?

You know what’s their reply? They said“We were just talking about you, then you came towards us, how fantastic!”Before the teacher left, he said“I know I am famous, but please do not appreciate me too much.”.
