- How I taught my vocabulary lesson I provided a vocabulary lesson “Flash card” last week. The activity was focus on memorizing the new words by the flash cards they made. In the beginning, I asked students about what was their favorite food in L1. We collected 15 different foods names, and wrote it on the blackboard both in English and Chinese. Then I provided 15 blank flash cards to each students. I asked them to draw those 15 foods and wrote the food names on the back of the cards in English. In this stage, I tried to create a connections between different words and their meanings. After they made their own flash card, they worked in pairs. They needed to guess what the card their partner drew and said it out in English. I wrote a sentence as follow on the board; “My favorite food is_______. What is your favorite food?” They would start to ask their partner by using their flash cards. In this stage, I aimed to create a genuine purpose for using the language, and motivate the learner to use it. At the end of lesson, I provided a paper which printed a tree on it. The students would stick their flash cards on it and think if there were other 5 similar words about the topic “Food”. They could use dictionary at this stage. Each students has different answers but it helped them more easily to embed the new vocabulary in memory. I believe student could be more active learning from encourage them looking for the new information by their willing.March 9, 202032
- How do you assess your student? Based on my experience of classroom-based assessment until in Taiwan, I give more tests and exams which depends on the school on reading, listening and writing. Due to the school entrance exam in Taiwan has less speaking part on exam, I have to limit my speaking part for assessment in the class. I provide tests for students, each test can clearly specified the learning goals and a marking scheme most of time. The tests always related to the lesson and suite for each sessions. However, I also give some projects for my students as assessment, although it doesn’t work for each class. There are always some students refuse to work as a group or prefer not to spend extra time to do the work which is not so related to the exam preparation. Oral presentation usually give students highly interest, they are glad to listen their voice from the recording device and feel less stress from oral presentation. In my opinion. It also helps students correct their pronunciation by themselves. The new idea for me from this session is language portfolio. I would like to try it in a small group class and give 3 months period for experiencing it. I will prepared blank check list for students and ask them to write their learning goals on the check list. In my opinion, portfolio gives assessment a new definition, which is not just one way giving, teacher offer the questions and challenges all the time. But students can also provide their ideas to teacher and having independent thinking ability. In addition, the portfolio can show the progress of the learning.March 9, 202001

- Mother in low I saw a old traditional drama from TV this afternoon. My grandma was so addict to it, so I tried to understand the story. It was very ridiculous! The story was about a mother in low was bully her daughter in low. She beat and threatened her all the time even her daughter in low actually helped her and her son to establish a local store. This poor woman gave birth twice, however, one of the children was daughter which did not so please to her mother in low. The cruel mother in low sent the female new born baby to someone and told the parents the little girl was died due to difficult birth. Now the story came to the most ridiculous part! After 10 years, the little girl was grow up and became a strong girl, performing Tae Kwon Do very well. One day, she had car accident, her mother also had car accident at the same time but in different place. The girl's soul flied into her mom/s body and the mom's soul became a ghost.......January 4, 202020
- Keep warm! The winter is coming! I would like to describe what I wear today. It sounds ridiculous, but it is true! First, I wear my special heat shirt, which is with a special high-tech from Uniqlo, and I put on another white shirt. So I basically wear double tops. Second, I wear my pantyhose plus a black tight and of course my socks. Finally, when I decide to go out, I have a thin coat and a jacket. If there is an extra, yes, my fluffy caps. The winter is coming! and I will defeat it! Could anyone help me how to make my paragraph more beautiful? I know I should avoid repeat words, but I really don't have ideas about how to do it.January 25, 201791
我做了一个奇怪的梦！
我刚刚发现了每个天我去睡觉太晚了，我的父母说：‘九个小时太多了，七个小时太少了，’但是我喜欢夜班的生活，怎么办啊？工作需要八个小时，游泳一个小时，吃晚饭一个小时。。。如果我一直去睡觉了。。这是什么生活啊？
昨天我做了一个奇怪的梦！先我梦见我是一个中国人，我住在杭州，我没有姐妹，还有三天以后是我的婚礼但是我忘了我待嫁新娘的样子。然后我和我以前女朋友的狗都去饭店吃牛肉面。它在我的身体上坐一下，每次我吃我的饭，它偷窃了，很调皮啊！怎么奇怪啊！
我实在现在去睡觉了。。。。但是我再还醒着啊！我没学啊！ ！～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
我做了一個奇怪的夢！
我的雙親跟我說：”你平時睡九個小時，實在是太久了！但是，你若只睡七個小時又太少！“
但是，我是夜貓子，怎麼辦啊？工作需要八個小時，游泳和吃晚飯各需一個小時。如果我一直在睡覺，這又算什麼生活！
昨天，我做了一個奇怪的夢！夢見自己是一個沒有手足，且住在杭州的中國人。三天後，即是我的婚禮，但是我卻忘了我未來新娘的樣子。之後，我和前女友的狗在一家飯店裡吃牛肉麵，它依靠在我身旁且偷吃我的飯。真調皮！
我現在真的應該去睡覺了.....但是事實是我還醒著啊！因為我還沒學完啊！

0 votedJanuary 25, 20170- To be yourself, or not to be? Today my school invited successful managers and artists to talk about their views and experiences in order to give graduating students a clue about their future career. There was a point which mentioned several times-- be yourself! Is it difficult to have a personal style? how do we know if we have a stronger personal style, or not? why should we have a personal style? I decide to discuss these questions in the following paragraph. "You are what you dress" is an introduction in a fashion industry; however, there is another similar sentence in the music industry-- You are what you play. The question of having a personal style in the music industry has many various answers. In my opinion, everyone has a style which is built up from who they want to be. However, it is not enough as a performer. As a performer not only just try to be someone famous but also be capable offering the professional ability. For instance, pianist Lang Lang is famous for his dramatic face during his playing in his early performances. However, you will also surprise that he has wild range repertoire. Therefore, having personal style is actually not easy, because it takes a long time and effort to achieve enough ability to support who you really want to be. How do we know if we have a stronger personal style, or not? According to Maya Angelou, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." I totally agree her, and believe that the feeling of people absorb from you will be your most stronger personal style. Different people has different level of giving the feeling, someone is shy; the other is open mind. In the music, there are many rules, but there is no rule of expression from the true heart. Being honest is to yourself a repect as a performer and to the audience. In the end, as a performer, the personal style or personal interpretation should be coming in a nature way. A lot of practice and gaining more experience are both important essentials to build up a personal style. Reading brings us more imaginations of who we want to be and reflective writing is an opportunity to introspect ourselves. Thank you for giving your time reading my essay. I hope you enjoy it and wish you have a lovely day!January 24, 201701
