Dear Tim:
     Our yearly presentation had end out pretty well. My job was controlling lights, it really needs to concentrate on the show for changing lights at every scenes, but it's also very fun. All of us was exhausted after the show and the cleaning work next day, for that,all of our teachers gave us a little treat, the class next day were all finished early, and the rest of the class time were left for us to take a quick nap.(that was awesome!)
     We spent the whole semester preparing our presentation. In the beginning,we do have a lot of problems, from script to acting,none of which were familiar to us. Also,we didn't managed the time well,so we're actually in a rush practicing our show and making the stuff we need.
     It's quite surprising that we've done it successfully, after all, we only have 18 people (not even enough for the staff)can't even imagine what will it become without the seniors help and experience.
     And it's sad to say that this might be the last letter we write to you since we have to put all our times on the big exam we are going to take for the university next year on January. Well, there's a lot of things happen during these two years, for myself, I think I improve a lot and glad to have this chance writing to you. Maybe I will keep write things on the blog after the big exam.I wish that this is not the end.

Dear Tim:

1. Liam was put on house arrest because he bit the bug lady when she entered the backyard.
2. If a dog commit a serious bite, he could be taken away and put down.
3. Liam was excused from a more serious punishment because his little nip was enough to break the skin and draw blood.

     I was tend to write things about the cram school,but I didn't have that much time to write this response.I apologize,that I really don't have any other extra mind for myself to write a satisfied response. We are busy for our mid term exam,performance and other course's presentation.I'm sure that there's still someone else write something,but I really have to stop at here and going for other projects.

Letter-21

Dear Tim:

Study questions :
3.The reasons are that homemade dresses are not as fashionable as the ones at the stores and that schools are no longer giving required classes.

6. The flour bags in Taiwan used to make clothes for boys because the fabric was considered too rough for girls.

7. The design proclaiming American-Taiwanese friendship, plastered across the backside of boy's flour bag underwear.

     Last Saturday our class took pictures of our performance posters,and our solo picture,it's pretty fun but also exhausting.

     Things for exciting was that we made a fire with branches for our club activities,(Scouts club)and it turned out pretty well compared to the first time we did.

Allison is in the same team with me 

It's really proud of us because almost all members in our team were new club members joined in this semester.

                                                  Best regards

Dear Tim:
     I do saw a kind of similar case as Mei Mei's ,but there's still pretty much difference. The cat is called Socles, she used to live in a room alone separated from other cats.(seven of them in total) She gets nervous while staying with male cats, she can't sleep or eat well, that's the reason why she lives alone.(another reason might be that she had a very loved boyfried when she was still stray cats, but he had passed away,so she will get scared when male cats around her)But now she already can live with others. She still gets a little bit nervous sometimes when other cats near her,but it's already improve a lot.

          After:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4twwspMhhE (this video hasn't have subtitles yet cause it's the latest one,but it's basically about Socles getting around with other cats )
     Last Friday our class went to stock museum, well, I don't get much interesting in it, but it's pretty cool. We learn the origin of the stock and it's develop and so on. I didn't take pictures, but I'm sure that someone else did, perhaps they upload on their response?
     For our drama all the actors and actress have to learn how to put up the make up, we are still trying practicing on basic one, maybe I will add some pictures on next response.
                                                                                                  Best regards

Dear Tim :
     I never saw or joined a dragon boat race, I wonder how it actually looks like, are the crowds silent or very exciting? I really want to know more about how the actual situation is when the race started.
     Our performance has finally progress a little bit, at least it's not stuck at all,we had our audition last Friday, and today we will know what our characters we are going to played as.
     I'm sure that I haven't mention the volleyball competition right? It's a class competition, it separate as girls and boys team ,and our first competition is in tomorrow. For this race we do have a lot of practice, I hope it really works, we usually practice an hour before our first class, which is around 7:00 A.M for a week and three hours on Sunday morning, most of us got tanned or sunburned, but I still hope that we can make it to top 10. (in case that we have 23 classes)

Letter -18

Dear Tim:
     Speaking of Easter,in Taiwan ,we barely have celebration about it. But still, some of the teacher will make some activities for students. When I was 5th grade, my english teacher she took us to go egg hunting in school. She hid some "eggs"(not real,but a plastic one) in a corner of our school before our class started. Inside there were some candies and tickets to exchange things,that was really funny ,but we only played one time .
     In my memories, I haven't been to tomb sweeping for years.Basically the work is on my dad,cause my grandfather don't want us to go there. My mom told me that is because spirits are more easily follow back home with kids ,old people or someone who is more bad luck.
    Last Wednesday, me and my family went to watch a movie, I watched a really cool one called "ready player one",the scenes were amazing! It also mention that we should spend more time with people around us even though technology is improving day by day. I really really really recommend this movie. I hope you will enjoy it.

Letter-17

Dear Tim :
     It is interesting to know the story behind the St. Patrick's day. I still remember that when I was 9th grade, my cram school teacher had told us some information about St. Patrick's day,but not that much historically. She did including elfs ,(or troll?) gold and wearing green. Also mentioned that if someone didn't wear green on St. Patrick's day,you can pinch them(is that even real?) because if you have a bruise on you, then you have something green on your body. ；)
     We're still bothered by our script for our performance, still trying hard to put songs into the drama(and it's almost the due for the script), hope we can finish it on time.
     And it's the time around our exam, might not able to write much in the next response.
                                            Best regards

Dear Tim:
     It's pretty common that panic buying happens in Taiwan, it's almost like a part of our culture.Most people do think it's just "in case of" for some situation to panic buying,but some others think they can save more money before the price rise.Well... my grandparents are one of the classic examples too!
     We are starting our literature circle again! This time we are reading "Animal Farm",it's a pretty deep novel for us, for me, it's a new challenge and opportunity to improve my writing, I bet I can learn a lot from the book.
     I'm sorry that I write very short, just feeling depress lately, and actually not much things to share with, I hope that I can get back in line before the next respond.
                                                                                            Best regards

Letter 15 - Winter Vacation

Dear Tim :
     How have you been ? It's already been a month since I write to you. It will be such a pleasure for me to talk about my winter vacation, but...I barely went out ,it's such a shame, right ?My family didn't plan to going out because they don't want to spend too much money for entertainment.(they rather spend it on our study)But I do play a lot of mobile games. Recently ,I've been really into a shooting game called "Knives out ", it's a mobile version of a computer game called "PUBG"(does it sounds familiar to you? ) My brother and I like to watch some streamers doing some challenges and trying new guns in the game. Well... I'd like to share more about it but that probably will take me for days .
     Speaking of "winter" vacation ,snow must pop out from most of people's mind. I'm so jealous at those countries which snows in winter! Taiwan barely snows and I've never go aboard before, it's quite pity that I can't share some pictures to you.
     As usual,we cleaned our house before Lunar New Year, this year, my mom use a quite special way to clean the ceiling, she use the vacuum to clean the ceiling ! Also,we vacuum the fan's blades.(the fan is hanging on the ceiling, it'spretty huge) It isn't often to see that right?
     This year my brother and I cooperated to cook the reunion feast the first time, it's both interesting and exhausting ,but it ends out pretty well.
     Also,I'm glad that back to start writing again.
                                                  Best regards

Letter 14

Dear Tim :
     This week is really such a busy week, although it's already a new year, but our semester hasn't end yet. There's still a huge work for my grade in the next two weeks.
     We had a little trip to Beitou last Friday, we saw the old train station nearby the MRT station, also we saw the hot springs, it's a cool experience for me because l never saw a hot springs river ! And the views were incredible, l almost couldn't get my eyes off it!
     And we also start to prepare our performance for the end of the next semester, which one would you prefer, theatre musical, drama or both ?
                                                                                       Best regards

Letter 13- Happy New Year

Dear Tim:
     Happy New Year! I thought that I could take a little brake or have some time hanging out with friends, but most of them can't because they have to go to cram school or having dinner with their family, and......it's two weeks left for our final exam, so I had no choice but stayed at home studying.(At least I still have my novels stayed with me)
     Also, I'm wondering that where did Arizona choose to set off the fireworks? Well...... in Taipei we take place in our landmark, Taipei 101, I wonder if Arizona too?
                                               Best regards
