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.
Best regards
Vivian

Dear Vivian,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you writing more, and more often, this year. Is it getting easier?
I've heard about not having children go to the "tomb sweeping", but I heard it was because it would be too scary for children. This is the first time that I have heard it's because it's easier for the spirits to follow you home. Not a good idea!
I wrote more about the tomb sweeping in next weeks newsletter. I agree. It doesn't sound like you are missing very much.
I've seen the ads for "Ready, Player One", and it looks very good. I plan to see it soon. Apparently, many American movies are released in Taiwan as soon as they are release here. Was this in English, or English with subtitles, or dubbed in Chinese?
Tim
The movie is English with subtitles, and I pretty like it, I think it help me learn more words from movies. I think it's an efficient way to learn new words from movies, I can know the meaning of Chinese by looking at the subtitles,also listen to the pronunciation from the movie.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to say,I'm satisfied with the improvement of my writing. Although it piled up day by day a little bit, I'm still happy with it, definitely can see the changes through out last year. And I'm really grateful that having this opportunity to improve my English.
