Notes from the Editor

There are four skills in learning English. Among them, writing is an important approach at verifying learners’ vocabulary of idioms and expressions, grammar and structure. It is also a good way for teachers to explain to students’ their errors and make corrections in a visual way. By writing in English, students think and practice individually. Nowadays, many TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) books emphasize the importance of interactive learning. Writing offers students the opportunity to express themselves with fewer inhibitions and on an active basis,

Writing a composition is not so easy but also not difficult. If you have a very clear structure of writing focusing on the main theme, you will have a well-written English composition. Before starting writing, an outline is very important. Some people write long disorganized paragraphs that create confusion and ambiguity. So before you write, I suggest you have an outline in your mind. It is best to write it down.

Basic writing structure includes an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. The introduction presents the topic of the composition, the body conveys the main ideals, and the conclusion summarizes the piece. Every paragraph should be dedicated to one main idea. The paragraphs should tie in together in a coherent manner. After the teacher has given feedback, the composition should be further edited and rewritten. Learn from your mistakes! By editing and correcting the paper yourself, you will improve. In time and with practice, writing becomes easier.

An important thing to remember is that Chinese and English language patterns are different. Try not to translate directly as this can cause problems. For example, in Chinese one may say “He is a filial child” but in English, the same idea is expressed differently. An English speaker would say, ”He is an obedient son”.

In addition, keep your writing simple, using vocabulary with which you are familiar. Many scholars encourage English language learners to use common vocabulary instead of writing difficult and superfluous words. Dr. Mary Finocchiaro in her book, English as a Second Language---From Theory to Practice suggests first thinking of how you would say something before writing on paper. For high school students, in my point of view, it is better to use words, which people usually express in their daily life. In this case, they also can practice their spoken English while they are writing.

       I want to thank Mr. Chiang for his assistance and Principle Shu-i Sun provided invaluable opinions and practical teaching materials. Finally, I would like to wish every teacher and student a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Good luck in the Year of the Horse!

My Mother

H3-1 鄒德泉

When I was born in this world the first person I met was my mother. I cannot remember being an infant. I have a faint memory from when I was three years old. One day I made a mistake and broken my mother’s favorite vase. I was at a loss for what to do and started to cry. Mother came tome and made sure I was safe and sound. I was relieved. My mother is very enthusiastic about my education. When I was a little older, she began to teach me Han-gul, English and arithmetic. Most of all, she places much importance on ethics and morality. She thinks one’s character is based on that. Authority is also important to her. I have thought she is a strict person since I entered elementary school. If I made a mistake she would scold me severely and blame my unserious attitude. At that time, I was so unpleasant about her strictness. Now I understand her better. She always reminds me about the changing of the weather and asks me to wear enough clothes. When I fail exams, she always encourages me to recover my confidence. As yet, I don’t have to worry about living. I always have a good environment for studying. If I need more she will support me more. I should study hard and not let my parents disappointed.

My Mother

H2-1 徐序元

When I think of the words “birth” and “love”, the first person who I think of is my mother.

She is forty years old this year. Since she gave birth to us. She worked so hard in raising us. When we are sick, she does not sleep well. She prays for us to become healthy. Now, she gets up earlier than anyone in our family. She is also the latest person who is last to go to bed. After school, I go to many academies to learn. I go back home so late at night. But the person who always waits for me is my mother. When I do something difficult, I think of my mother. She loves us but sometimes we get angry with her for no reason. Even still, she remains strong.  When I see her face, I feel so sorry for her. She touches my heart in a way that cannot be seen.

I have become bad in some ways these days. I feel quilt about it. My mother was worried about me because of it. I know it is wrong and it is not the way to become a good son for her. So I decided to go the right way in my life. It is hard to do the work that I should do on my own but I will become a great person because of her love.

     The sky is so high and sea so deep, but these do not compare with my mother’s love.

 

 

 

 

My Mother

H2-1 王琇嬿

I think mother are the greatest people in the world and I have a great mother too. Let me introduce my mother. First of all, her name cannot be told. In the other words, it is a secret. She is a Chinese. She looks younger than her age because she has a nice complexion. Everyone envies her! She looks very nice, but when she is angry with me, she scares me a lot.

My mother is good at cooking and her food is very delicious. At last, my mother is interested in playing the computer and helping me with my homework. I think the mother plays an important role in the family. For example, in the morning when we go to school my mother has to get up very early to prepare breakfast for us. Even after we leave, my mother still keeps busy doing housework. She stays with my puppy at home during the daytime. She does not have time to take a rest all day. That makes me feel very sad and sorry for my mother. So I think we children should obey to not make her feel so tired every day.

 

My Mother

She treats us very well.

My mother often tells us to be polite. She says, “Manners are very important”. She often cooks delicious food. I like to eat my mother’s

Food. Sometimes when she is angry, I am very afraid. I cannot talk to her. When she is happy she becomes affectionate and we have an extremely close relationship.

    I think my mother is the greatest in the world. Sometimes I help my mother with the housework. I take out the garbage, do the laundry and dry clothes, among other things. When I do these, sometimes I am very annoyed. When I finish my homework, my mother always praises me for doing very well. I am always happy to hear my mother’s praises. I love my mother very much.

 

 

My Father

H2-1董先雯

My father is a cook. He is forty-five years old this year. He is a charitable father in my eyes, and he treats people well. He cares our studying and health.

My father often gives us pocket money, lets us buy things or food which we want. He likes to smoke which makes me anxious about his health. He is usually strict with us. He often advises us to study hard and go to sleep early.

   Every time we are in trouble, my father always come to solve problems. No matter what, he always thinks of us first. For me, my father is a great person. He has a great influence on me. I hope to support my father after I get a job.

 

 

My Father And My Life

H3-1 黃殿元

When I was 12 years old, my father was taller and more handsome than me. But I am taller and more handsome than him now because he is getting old day by day.

When he was a senior high school student, he always got the first grade in his class. My uncles and aunts looked to him as a role model. Now he is the oldest person in my family. He is a diplomat. I always feel that he drinks too much, so I worry about his health. He is improving it at all, but I wish that he could stop drinking and stop to yelling at us in the evenings.

 I am just a normal student. I have my parents and a younger brother. I fight with my brother at times. But we always think about each other very much. I will take the entrance examinations for university in about 6 months. I always feel very tired and my life seems so hard. I want to study during the winter vacation. So my grades in school will get better. My father always likes to tell me about his boyhood experiences. However, I can’t waste my time now because I have already wasted too much. I shall study hard and make a good life for myself.

No matter how difficult my life will get, in this world that can be so cruel, I still want to persist and overcome all challenges. No matter the future in front of me is so cold, deserted, and rocky. I will cross it and climb it to reach my goal. I want to succeed to let my father be proud of me.

 

 

 

 

Why Should I Learn English

H3-4 湯宇隆

     First of all, English is an international language and most people in the world use it. Secondly, if you want to be admitted to a university, you must learn English well because many books are written in English. Thirdly, if you want to travel, you must speak English well because many countries would use English to communicate with foreigners. Finally, on the internet many sites are written in English.

I hope my English will be good because my dream is to be a doctor of Chinese medicine. I need to pass the medical examination which includes an English test. I also hope my mother’s language, Chinese, will become an international language too.

 

 

 

Why Should I Learn English?

H3-4 高華春

    Why do we need to learn English? Most people use English as a second language in the world. Firstly, we can travel around the world if we speak English. Secondly, we can have a conversation with foreigners. There are lots of useful things available to us if we know English well. Nowadays, even little children can speak English. Recently, in college, English is a required subject. It is the reason people are learning English eagerly. English is not essential but it is very useful. I have to study English and go to a good university, Perhaps I will go abroad someday. It will make my dream come true to succeed in the future.

I am 171 centimeters tall and 58 kg in weight. I am Chinese but I was born in Korea. Now I live in Seoul and study in the Overseas Chinese High School.

I love to go to Taiwan and Hon Kong because there is a lot of delicious food over there. I am especially really crazy about Taiwan’s fried chicken. I also like any kind of fruit such as apples, oranges, mangoes, watermelons and pineapples. They just test so delicious! My favorite sport is swimming. When I swim in the swimming pool, I feel I really can relax myself. Therefore, I enjoy it very much.

About Myself

校友-喬問嘉

My name is Joe. I would like to introduce myself to all of you. I am a senior at Overseas Chinese High School. There are three people in my family: Father, Mother and me.

My hobby is playing sports. My favorite sports are inline skating and basketball. My favorite subject is English. I plan to major in English at college. To achieve my goal, I know I must study hard. Why do I have this plan? It is because I want to be the owner of a restaurant and become a famous businessman. This is what I have wanted to be since I was young.

I want to live in Singapore when I am older because it is a very clean and quiet country. I believe I can do it. As a senior, I know there is not much time left. I want my friends to study harder to fulfill their dreams. Good luck everybody!

 

My City

H2-2徐吉全

    I prefer country life to city life. My city, Seoul is the biggest and the capital of South Korea. Seoul is one of the most modern cities in the world. “Kim-Chi” (Pickled Cabbage) and “Chi-Gae”(Hot Soup) are famous Korean food. It’s warm in spring, hot in summer, cool in autumn and cold in winter. The four seasons are very clear and distinct. Also one can see beautiful plants flowering, rain drizzling, fallen leaves falling romantically and a snowy landscape. Many tourists come here to travel each year, especially in the winter for skiing. The World Cup will be held in Korea this year and many people will come here to see the games.

    Seoul is located on northern end of South Korea and just near In-Chon which is on the sea. It’s very convenient to go and see and enjoy the sea and seafood. We also can see many boats sailing on the sea. You can imagine how wonderful it is. The landscape along the road makes everyone thoughtful. You can live in Seoul with a life of ease and most of the things are of good quality. So you don’t have to worry about difficult things in Seoul. At last, I want to tell the people all over the world “Welcome To Seoul!!!”

                                                                                                                   

 

Teen Life (American teenagers)

H3-2 劉良偉

North American teenagers have a lot of opportunities to socialize in their schools. Many of them join after-school groups, like photography, chess or drama clubs. Every year, most schools put out a yearbook. The yearbook committee is a popular group of which to be part.

Most schools have teams for various sports, particularly those that do not require expensive equipment such as volleyball, basketball, soccer and field hockey. Large schools with more money for sport programs will often have football teams as well.

Another element of most junior and senior high schools is a school band. Students who want to learn to play an instrument, or who are already quite good, join band classes that are part of the school curriculum. Along with cooking and drama, band class is usually an elective (a course the students can choose to take).

Throughout the year, schools will have dances for the students. Valentine's Day and Christmas are popular times to have these dances. A “prom” (promenade) is a formal school dance; the most important one being the senior “prom” or “grad” (graduation) dance.

 

 

 

 

The Four Seasons

H3-1 朱德海

The four seasons change throughout the year in Korea. However nowadays, spring is hot like summer and fall is cold like winter. I think the spring and fall seasons are beginning to disappear. When spring comes all of the animals wake up. During the summer the flowers are in full bloom and all the trees have leaves. The bright hot sun shines everywhere. Some people feel summer is a bad season because at times, people are more irritable. When fall comes all the trees lose their leaves. The fall is a good season for reading books. During the winter, the snow covers the streets, the roofs of houses and trees. The spring vacation is in May. Most people are busy. The summer is good season for people to go outdoors. I feel that summer is the best season because there are a lot of holidays. In winter we have a long vacation. There is a lot of rain in autumn. People get wet easily during the rainy days. I like spring because we can see many insects, animals, mountains, trees and beautiful flowers. Every season has all its own special characteristics.

I always want to have an unusual weekend. I plan to go to the pyramid of Egypt. On Saturday, in the very early morning, I will prepare all the equipment that I will need for this adventure. My aim is to find gold, jewelry, and ancient money.

I will arrive at the largest pyramid with my assistant, whose name is Duk Jae. In the afternoon, I will go to the biggest Egyptian King’s tomb to see his mummy. Although it is so fearful and thrilling for me, I will do my best to look. I think it will be very interesting! On Saturday night, we will take a rest and wait for the next day.

  On Sunday, I will achieve my goal. I will go to the pyramid’s biggest tomb secretly. Inside, there must be a lot of treasure waiting for me to dig out. I will finish my work as soon as possible. After I find something valuable, I will take it with me to my home. From that time, I guess I will be the richest person in the world. Ha! Ha! Ha! My weekend ends here. Don’t you think it will be a fantastic weekend?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Weekend

H3-4 于政民

This weekend my family is going to go to Tokyo and Okinawa in Japan to spend our weekend. Here are our plans: We will take an airplane to Tokyo on Friday night.

     On Saturday morning, I plan to see the Tokyo tower. Next, I am going to visit Mt. Fuji. Afterwards, I will go to visit my Japanese friend from Osaka. In the afternoon, I am going to go shopping with my mother at the biggest department store in Tokyo. We will buy some shoes for my father, a bag for my mother, a wallet for my younger sister and a nice T-shirt that has the Tokyo tower on it. At lunch, we plan to eat raw fish (Sashimi), a famous Japanese dish. After our lunch, we will take a train to Okinawa.

In the evening, we will arrive in Okinawa. We will go to the beach and see some fireworks. I guess it will be very beautiful! We will stay at Okinawa for a night and leave from Japan on Sunday afternoon to return to Seoul. I have classes early Monday morning. I am looking forward to this weekend very much. I can hardly wait.
