Reflection:

     This is my first time to do a e-zine project. Thanks for my team members; without them, I couldn't finish this task! I am the writer, the photographer and the speaker for our e-zine. I explained why we chose coffee as our topic and why we named our e-zine as Chooffholics.

     When it comes to the difficulty in this project, I think it is writing part. We four decided to report four different coffee shops, among them, only Crown and Fancy Coffee is a chain coffee store. The other three coffee shops have their own specialities, like: coffee shops with lots of books or with special meals. But Crown and Fancy Coffee is not speical at all if compare to the others. So I had a hard time when writing my article. Then I discuss with my team members, they suggested me to focus on their principles and coffee. I also learned the spirit from the shop owner, Others can see your sincerity if you pay your effort! 

     To sum up, I am very to have Jill, Molly and Amy as my team members. We had a great time when doing this project.Only through team work can we finished it!

A PICTURE'S WORTH >> UNFORGETTABLE FRIENDSHIP

       

 

     I was a volunteer in the World Dance Sport Games from September 16 to 20, 2013. During that week, I met different people from different cultures. All of them were extraordinary dancers from their own countries. It was an exciting experience. I was an assistant for sixteen people from four different areas: Sweden, Switzerland, Slovenia, and Poland.

 

     My job is to accompany the dancers all the time, help them deal with trivial things, remind them about some important things, etc. We have been working together for a whole week. They were so friendly that we treated each other like families. I think that's why we built a profound relationship. Because of this, we had a great difficulty when saying goodbye to each other.

 

     On the day the Swiss were going to leave, I went to Kaohsiung international airport to say goodbye. We asked a passenger in the airport to help us take this photo. It was our last photo during those days. To me, this photo was like an ending for the World Dance Sport Games. But I am sure this one will not be the last one!!! We will definitely meet again someday and have more photos!

Kindergarten Robbery

Midnight, about 11 pm., a thief used tools to broke the walls and sneaked into a private kindergarten in Ipswich, Suffolk. A safe containing £ 1,200 in the nursery wheelie bin had gone. The nursery school claimed that they were so shocked they were targeted when they are a just a nursery. And policemen promised that they are doing all they can to arrest the thief.
