For Apa khabar from Ya-Jhu

Hi! Apa khabar? Syaflqah. Do I spell it correctly? Nice to meet you. My name is Ya-Jhu Yang. You can call me Ya-Jhu or YA, as you like. Well, I was born in Kaohsiung County on 13 October 1992. I moved once. Now I live in San-Min district, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. This year, I am seventeen years old, too. My family has three people, my father, my mother and me. I do not have any brothers or sisters. I like to read some novels and listen to Japanese music in my free time. And I like to play basketball and swim. My favorite food is spaghetti and sushi. I like to drink lemon tea, tapioca tea and water! I love all kinds of desserts made of chocolate, but I do not like the very sweet flavor. I love Teddy Bear very much, so do not worry about Mamat. I will take care him so attentively.

We started to go to school on 31 August. Now, I am a second grader in Mechanical Drafting department_ Kaohsiung Industrial High School. On October 23, the sports day, all students in our school will join the event. I will compete in broad jump and tug-of-war. On October 24, all of the second graders will hold a fair for their class. Our class, Mechanical Drafting of class B, will sell instant noodles and snowflake of ice. We decided to sell them, as they are cheaper than other foods.

Now, the weather in Taiwan is so hot and humid. What about yours?

I am so glad that I can have a pen pal. As I have not had one before, I am so rejoiced that I could have a pen pal in Malaysia. Maybe I could hear many things from you soon.

Hi ! My name is Scott. I'm your new penpal in Taiwan. I'm seventeen-year-old teenager，and I study in Kaohsiung Industrial High School Mechanical Drafting Department. We are learning to design something mechanical and preparing to be a successful mechanical engineer.


In Taiwan，there are diverse races and people on the island get along well. We have the Taiwanese，the Hakka and the aborigines.

Because of it，there are a variety of delicious foods here. Now，let me introduce you the best-selected.

Stinky tofu is one of my favorite. It's badly stinky but it tastes not only crispy but tender inside. Another one is Oyster omlet. Oyster is the seafood which I love most. It's made from eggs，vegetable，oyster and so on. Then，it is sprinkled the special sauce on it. How wonderful !

Tapioca tea is the top of the list. It is the champion drink in Taiwan. The tapioca tastes like gum， and you can cheeeeew it again and again. The little black things that you can chew it called “Pearls.”It's beautiful name draws many curious foreigners and they're eager to try some. Hope you love it !

Mamat's taking a nap. By Kay

  In Taiwan, students are required to take a nap after they finish their lunch. The experience is quite new to me. Although it is not very comfortable to take a nap in the extremely hot classroom, most of my classmates put their arms on the desk with their heads down, trying to get a nap, including me. Kevin, Ziv, and Charlie are responsible for maintaining order during the nap time. If any of the classmates breaks the rule, they will report to Kay, their homeroom teacher, and she will punish the violator. See, I am taking a good nap and it will make me energetic for the classes in the afternoon.

^O^ I know I am cute especially when I am being good.

September 16 Lunch time 4.BY Lynn

Hello! My friends,

I want to show you about this picture. I was eating my lunch, but I thought other`s lunch was more delicious than mine. Look at this picture. I was looking at her lunch box, and I wanted to join for their talks. When I was listening to their talks, Kay was taking pictures for us. So I did not hear anything.

Oh~That was too bad. But I had a wonderful lunch time. I really enjoyed this time.

September 16 Lunch Time 2

This is the most marvelous moment in this school. Because we can have lunch and talk to each other. I had lunch with Alan，Scott and GK. They are all friendly but GK was holding so hard that I can't eat comfortable.

Finally，Alan and GK went to wash their dishes. I felt thirsty and Scott gave his dietary fibre juice to me. We are so happy.

For Malaysia. by Angela

Nice to meet you! I'm Angela(Jhuang-Yan-Rong). I'm a 16-year-old girl. My family has six people. I have a young brother. I often share my things with him. I also keep a dog. She is cute and energetic. I was born in Pingtung. Pingtung is located in the south of Taiwan. The weather in Pingtung is hot, even in winter. Pingtung's specialty is fruits, such as wax-apples , pineapple , banana , and so on.

My favorite fruits are strawberries and mangoes, because they are sweet , juicy and tasty. How about you? My hobbies are listening to music , seeing movies , going cycling. I often do that in my free time. By doing that, I can relax myself.

 I like English best of all the subjects. Learning English is interesting. It helps me communicate with foreigners more easily. I am poor in physics. I often burst my brain while I am writing the homework of physics.

I have a lot of wishes. To realize my wishes, I must do my best and work hard. Above all , I have to make great efforts so that I can enter university.

By the way, I like Chiness New Year , Moon Festival and Christmas Day, and you?
The Taiwaness are friendly and passionate. Hope you can visit Taiwan one day.
Lastly, I wish everything go well with you. Goodbye.
