王大綱心得part2
Hi, Conifer high:
1. My name is Ta Kang Wang. I am a exchange student from Taiwan, my nickname is .com because it’s sounds like my name, my friends give it to me because they think it was really fun and if you called me that will also make me more comfortable. Actually I am very nervous and trembling now! Because I am not good at speech. So if I make any mistake, please don’t laugh at me.
2. And I am from Asia where is crossing Pacific Ocean from America.
3. My country Taiwan is a independent, democracy, and freedom country just as American. Though we are next to China. And both of Taiwan and China speaks Chinese. I want to emphasize that we are not belonged to China. We are definitely different two countries.
4. Taipei, which is the capital of Taiwan is where I come from. Is a crowded, busy, and lots of people, lots of tall building surroundings. So it’s totally different from here where it is a really naturally, broad mountain place. And I always very excited to see wild life here because what I can see in Taipei is only people, cars and building.
5. Our national flag have three colors, white, blue, and red. White means selfless, civil rights and equality. Blue means pure, nation and freedom. Red means sacrifice, indiscriminate love and people’s livelihood. Because our country is established after eleven revolution by our national father. That’s why we have lots of red on our flag which is means blood.
6. In Chinese, there are 37 alphabet and 4 tones for pronounce.
7. And a word’s pronounce is constituted with 2 or 3 alphabet with one tone.
8. In Chinese word, there are two or three word to make a term. Probably one term has many different meanings. Or different terms have same meaning. That is enough to confuse you guys. So, learn Chinese which is now the most people speaks in the world.
9. My parents are both teacher. Why I can be here is because of them. Without them, I’ll never be here. They made my dream come true to be here. Actually to go to America is my biggest dream when I was really young. So I am now much more grateful to my parents than I used to be. Because I have to deal with everything now. I never even say I love you to them. Things will always be treasure after you lose it. The love, concern will be felt after you live without them.
10.
11.Taipei 101 is the target construction of Taiwan. It is the highest building in the world after the Dubai Tower was built on 2010 January. It is 508 meters and has 101 floors on the ground, 5 floors underground. It is the most important national economics center in Taiwan.
13.In our free leisure time, I always go to Ximending where is the popular place for teenager to go shopping though I don’t really like shopping. But it is a really good place for watching a movie there.
14.Night market is also a important feature of Taiwan. It usually begin at 6p.m. till 1 or 2 at the midnight. It is constituted with many vendors which are selling everything. You can have dinner there, and there are also so many appetizers and drinks. And also have lots of fun game there. So you must go to night market if one day you go to Taiwan.
15.16.17.My school life in Taiwan is also completely different from here. I have to get up at six and school will start at seven till five. We have seventeen subjects which divide into major subject and minor subject. We have all of them in every week. We have eight periods every day. Fifty minutes for each period. We have the main subject like Chinese, English and math every day. Lunch time an hour. And we have no choice to stay school for individual study or go to cram school till nine. And after that, days haven’t been over yet because we still have to study after we get home until twelve or more in the midnight. On weekend, we still cannot take a rest, study all day like ten hours a day. Why we have to study so hard is because our class are so hard and we have quiz every day, big test every month. Some of subject like math, physical and chemistry is the hardest one. The test average of those subject are always like thirty or less. That’s why we have to study so hard that we can deal with it. That’s the normal school life in my high school. And we always be respect to get into a high-level university. That’s a really big pressure for every high school students. So that’s totally different here. I can sleep over nine hours every day and don’t have to study all the time!
18.My host family is very nice to me and I’m very enjoying in this foreign experience with them.
19.And I have already cooked some Taiwan’s famous for my host family like beef noodle, fried rice with shrimps, beef, pork or chicken. And I think they really like it.
20.I have already gone to camping with my host family.
21.and the first time riding a dirt bike.
22.the first time shooting a real guns
23.Homecoming is also an unforgettable experience for me.
24.Community service with my host mom is also really fun
25.The first time I curve the pumpkin.
26.My first Treat or Trick with my friends that really made a wonderful memory in my life, I wish I could have this fun holiday every year. But I’m afraid that my first time is also the last time in my life.
27.The soccer team is the most important thing I’ll never forget. It’s a wonderful season. They made me really comfortable to do things as a team like practice, games, team dinner, the final banquet. I’m really enjoying being a soccer team in Conifer.
28.And I have an idea about setting up a calligraphy club which is means Chinese hand writing after school. If anyone is interested about Chinese hand writing, I’m so welcome you to join this club. It will start at the week after next week. And I will also set up a Chinese club which teach you to write and speak in Chinese. And the culture about Chinese. That will be start at November thirty on Tuesday. Both of the club are once a week and will be one to two hours. And I really want to share things about my country. If you want I can play Chinese chess at any time. I’ll love to play with you.
29.The last thing I want to say is, I have already been here three months. But what I feel is that I’m so lonely that always do things on my own. I can’t stand being so quiet. Maybe some of you seldom hear I’m talking. That’s isn’t me. I used to be very talkative and open. I don’t know what make me become so shy like that, I feel no one except myself I can talk to. In my high school, I always is the spot light of the school is like everyone knows me, and I got really lots of friends. But here, I just like the stone be put on the hallway. And everyone pass me they won’t talk to me even they know who I am. Maybe my English is not really good, but I still try to join you guy’s group to figure out what are you talking about. Maybe I can’t totally understand what you are saying. But I still want to make friends with any of you. I love to share, and I love to talk to you. But the only thing I want to do now is just to make friends.
