Summer School in TAIS

Hi my name is Stephanie, and I am a Taiwanese. In the year of 2020 we are here of TAIS to have the summer school. We are having a grate time here in every summer school. Because of the COVID-19, every student in this school could not travel to the other country or to go studying ion the other country. we had many different classes like communication, writing, swimming, PE, and many others, but right now I was still in the ELL class, some classes we have it in everyday.

On Monday to Friday, in the morning, we had the three important classes and a PE. PE: we had swimming on Monday, frisbee on Tuesday, fun gym on Thursday, and no PE for Friday. Actually, I do not like to have the regular PE class it is still fun, but I just do not like it. I like the PE class in the summer school because it looks more like playing with friends, you just play and no learning and test. In the afternoon, we had class in almost three hours we’re fun, Monday we had a lot fun learning in the science I like it too. Tuesday, we having the ART class we learn how to make things. Wednesday, we had a steam class, but actually it like a computer class. Thursday, we just had a reading class we’re not only reading books we’re learning things too. Friday, all the ELL students are divided into six groups and to play some interesting games.

This is the best summer school I’ve ever had.

The blog challenge was fun and there were many interesting things to do, but there is nothing I like very much inside.

 I want to say that we can do this as a class or by yourself. You don’t need to use the blog they give , you can still use google side for the challenge. For me it’s not attractive task, we have to write it every week  because it’s a challenge and it can show how well you can do on writing.

At last, I know that I don’t like writing but I still try my best to finish the writing. However I often delayed because wrote very slowly.

In the challenge I learned that people’s comment is very valuable and the challenge gave me a chance to look at other people’s blog. In the future I might write my own  blog and I will share my featured work to everyone.

I’m in 9th grade at Taiwan Adventist International School. As you may have guessed from the name, it’s a Christian American international school located in the mountains of central Taiwan. Here are five things I’ve noticed where it differs from Taiwanese schools.

First, you need to live in the dorm. Because the school is far from the cities. Second, you need to speak English at most of the time. The reason is this is a American international school, besides all the teachers are not Chinese, so we can only speak English to them. Third, the restaurant only provides vegetarian food. Since this is a Christian school and it belongs to the Adventist system, based on health and religious and concern, only plant-based food is allowed in the campus. Fourth, you can have American high school degree after graduation. Then you can go to other countries’ school to study. Fifth, the campus is broad. Therefore we need to walk a lot everyday witch is very good for our health.

At the end we can all know that there is no school that are the same. This is a very unique school and I like it very much.

端午節

In this year 2019, the Dragon boat festival was on the date of June seventh.

 On the dragon boat festival day, we usually eat rice dumplings in memory of Qu Yuan. In 278 BC, the Chu State is defeated by the Qin State. On hearing of the defeat, Qu Yuan was in great despair and committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month. When the local people heard of Qu Yuan’s death, they were very sad and rowed out on the river to search for his body, but they were unable to find him. To prevent his body eaten by the fish, the locals paddled their boats up and down the river, hitting the water with their paddles and beating drums to scare the fish and evil spirits away. They threw lumps of rice into the river to feed the fish so that they would not eat Qu Yuan’s body.

Traditionally, people also drink realgar wine and use wormwood to purify their body and their houses. These two things are very good at preventing infectious disease in hot summer.

I’m in 9th grade at Taiwan Adventist International School. As you may have guessed from the name, it’s a Christian American international school located in the mountains of central Taiwan. Here are five things I’ve noticed where it differs from Taiwanese schools.

In this school, we live in the dorm, but in the previous school, I lived at home. The dorm has many rooms, each room has four beds and four desks. The room is not big but it is enough for us. The dorm has a very comfortable living room. We have to do the laundry by ourselves. I think lining in the dorm makes me more independent.

In the previous school, the courses are fixed and everyone has the same schedule despite the differences in the individual level. In our school, all courses are taught in English, everyone has their own schedule according to their level. We still learn Chinese, but we don’t use the textbook, the Chinese is still difficult to me. We also have Bible classes. We do our homework on the internet.

I love our school and I am very to be in it.
