Tommy Week 9

Today is Thursday. This is the day of the field trip! Eleesa took me to Taichung National Museum Of Natural Science and 921 Earthquake Museum. I saw many special things and learned more knowledge in those museums. We checked in the Nice Prince Hotel at night, and we went to the shopping mall to buy some snacks for the second day. When we went back, I slept well because the bed felt so soft. The first day of the field trip was over, and I have a beautiful memories with Eleesa on that day, too!

Tommy week 11

Day 1 with Paul

Dear journal, this weekend I followed Paul home. As usual, Paul studied at the cram school until ten thirty. After we arrived home, he started exercising, doing push-ups and sit-ups. He showed me some of his collections. There are novels, cards, pistols and knives, etc. (Of course, they are fake.) The pistol in the picture is Beretta M92F. It has fifteen rounds (in plastic bullet), and it weighs 1,162 grams (2.56 pounds). The first knife in the front is a hunting knife (dull knife), the second one is a butterfly knife, and the last one is a pocket knife. He keeps his collections in the cabinet (it's pretty safe). Paul is good at Chemistry. He taught me VSEPR theories, some Hybrid orbital theories and Organic Chemistry etc . Learning so much, unconsciously I wasn’t aware that it's already 1 AM. It's time to go to bed. Good night. (June 8 with Paul)

Tommy Week 10

                            Day 1 (Tommy with Michael)
Hello everyone, I am Michael. Today is a special day because Teddy bear is with me. I want to take it with me to Chupei Theater because there are choir performances from six high schools. This show is special because every choir has to perform a Chinese song and a song in other languages. I was surprised at the show of our school because they used a rod and hit the board to make a sound like hitting boats showing they were in a forest. They also made other sounds like birds. It is beautiful. The song I like most is 花樹下. It was sang by Hsin Chu Girl High School. The song is a Hakka song. After I listened to the song, I was touched. This is what I did with Teddy Bear! Bye Bye

Tommy Week 8

This weekend. I followed Jack home. Jack is friendly to me. The school monthly exam is around the corner. There are a lot of books on Jack's bookcase, science, Greek mythology etc. Oh! There are also a lot of comic books and different collections. I saw something that looks like a telescope but I’m not sure. Jack told me that it is Newtonian telescope. Wow! That’s so interesting. So I borrowed it from Jack. Jack taught me how to use it. 
The happy time always flies by quickly. I felt so sad. I’m very thankful to Jack. (May 3  with Jack)

Tommy Week 7

April 18-19 with Amos

I joined our class volley ball game, and it was fun. Although our class didn’t play very well at first, we practiced hard. We won in the game against class 112 to everyone’s surprise. We got the third place! Recently,
Amos is going to take the club leader test. He practiced playing the guitar so hard and I hope he can get the job.

Tommy Week 6

Tung Flower in Maoil

[103 Group 5] April 19 With Lin

I am Tommy. I have come to Taiwan for months. During the weekends, I went to Maoil, a beautiful city with Lin. After visiting her grandmother, we went to Tung Flower Park, there are so many Tung Flowers over there. Some are on the ground, others are in the tree. It's so beautiful! There are also a lot of people in the park. Everyone there wants to see the wonderful sight. I met a friend named Duck. He is so

Tommy Week 5

[103 Group 5] April 12 With Oscar

     Hello ! I’m Tommy. Today is cloudy and a little rainy, and Oscar took me to Vieshow Cinema at Far Eastern Department Store. There was an incredible place, the 4DX theater, which would bring unique experience of watching movies to the people. It didn’t let a person just sit tightly on the seat. Instead, the indoor space created real sense in the movie with some interesting equipment. For example, the seats would move when there had a motion in the movie, and I could also feel the real wind and splash water. I had a joyful time when I sat in the room.

Tommy Week 4

April 6 (by Group 4 Vicky )

    Today was a sunny day. I got up early and looked at my new host Vicky. Last night I slept with her, but I was on the desk, not on the bed, because Vicky is allergic to stuffed animals. I am so sorry about my fur. Suddenly I felt Vicky pick me up, and she said that we are going to Xinfeng to meet a friend. I was very excited. Then we took the train at nine o'clock. On the train, I heard the sound of train-choo-choo... My stomach was grumbling too. It occurred to me that I didn’t eat breakfast! That sound made me very embarrassed... When we arrived at Xinfeng, I felt Vicky climbed the stairs and stopped.

Tommy Week 3

March 30 (By Sunny, Group3)

I am Tommy. I have come to Taiwan for many days. But my Chinese is still not very good, I want to learn more so that I can understand Taiwan better. Today I studied very hard during Chinese class. The teacher and classmates are all very attentive. I think my Chinese improves a lot, and I am proud of it! When I went home, I met many new friends. Two of them came from other countries as well. One came from England and the other came from Korea. We became good friends. We shared our cuitures. I have a meaningful day today. What a wonderful day!

Tommy Week 2

March13-March15   (By Judy, Group 2)

Hi! I’m Tommy. The day before yesterday I went to Judy’s house. It was so
fun to spend the weekend with Judy and her family. I remember that the wall of the second floor of Judy’ house is amazing! There are many stickers. There are a lion, a monkey, and a very big giraffe. It is filled with a lot of innocence! I think it is because Judy has a little sister. Her name is Kitty and she is six years old. Kitty likes me so much. She held me in her arms all the time. Then, I went to the house of Judy’s grandma with her family. The house is very special and traditional, and it’s called san-ho-yuan. How wonderful days!
