Teaching English
Twice a week in the afternoons I teach English classes at the Telephone and Telegraph Company's Institute in pan-Ciao. I teach telephone operators and office workers of the phone company for three hours each session. Usually we cover the textbook unit in the first two hours, and then the last hour is for free conversation. In the beginning of the term the students are very shy about talking, but after two weeks they are asking all kinds of questions. During the last hour I sometimes revi...

Our Tea Plantation
I have a relative who owns a tea plantation in the southern area of Taiwan. Once or twice a year I go to visit them for a holiday, and sometimes I help them collect tea leaves. A pound of tea is made of hundreds of dried tea leaves. The Plant they come from is a small evergreen tree. Usually my relatives trim the trees so that they are only about three feet tall. When they are three years old, the tree are ready for the first picking. Only the buds and the very young leaves are picked. Picker...

Taking Exercise is Good For Our Health
Taking exercise is good for our health. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. By taking exercise, we can relax our body and mind. At the same time, we can harden our muscle and have a good figure. If we don't take exercise for a long time, we may easily fall sick. I enjoy several outdoor sports. Swimming in the sea is my favorite. Because there are too many people in a swimming pool and the water is always dirty, I prefer to swim in the sea. Playing badminton is also fun. I can alw...

Sun Moon Lake
The Sun Moon Lake in the mountains of central Taiwan is a truly delightful place for rest and relaxation. Also it is a favorite honeymoon spot. The poetically named lake, situated lake, situated at an elevation of 2,500 feet, is a year-round resort with many beautiful surroundings. The lake is a good base for hiking, also for visiting the highest pagoda and the biggest temple in Taiwan, an aborigine settlement and other places of interest.

Summer Evenings
On fair and clear evenings in the country I enjoy looking up at the stars in the sky. The evenings are warm and calm, and the heavens seem so close that you can touch the stars. Sometimes I try to recognize as I can. Because the air in the village is less polluted by the smoke and street lights than in the city, I can see the stars distinctly. Occasionally I will see falling stars draw bright lines in the sky. There is harmony between the moon and stars in the quiet sky and the slow pace of t...
