People in Kinmen like to dip fried dough sticks in Cantonese congee to make them soft and even tastier. Welcome to Kinmen! Come and enjoy our delicious food. Thank you, everyone! 大家好!我的名字是Mimi。今天我要介紹金門的美食。我想介紹一樣一定要吃的食物──油條。 油條的形狀像兩根金黃色的筷子,吃起來酥酥脆脆的。金門人喜歡把油條泡在廣東粥裡,讓它變得軟軟的,這樣會更好吃。 歡迎大家來金門玩,來品嚐這裡的美味食物。謝謝大家!

An Interesting Animal 有趣的動物
Turtles are the most interesting animals in the world. They have a big shell, four legs, and a small head. There are some special patterns on their shells. Here are a few interesting facts about turtles. Turtles can live in many places. They can live in the sea, in ponds, in rivers, or on land. They eat fruits, grass, and leaves. Their shells are very hard and can protect them from attacks. Turtles don't need to drink much water because they get water from the food they eat. I think turtles are very interesting. I have a turtle at home, and I hope I can see all kinds of turtles someday. 烏龜是世界上最有趣的動物。牠們有一個大龜殼、四條腿和一個小小的頭。龜殼上還有一些特別的花紋。 這裡有幾個關於烏龜的有趣小知識。烏龜可以住在很多地方,像是海裡、池塘裡、河裡,甚至在陸地上。牠們會吃水果、草和樹葉。烏龜的龜殼很硬,可以保護牠們不被攻擊。烏龜不需要喝太多水,因為牠們從食物裡就能得到水分。 我覺得烏龜真的很有趣。我家也有一隻烏龜,我希望有一天能看到各種不同的烏龜。

The Best School Competition 最棒的校際比賽
It was a warm and sunny day. The sun was shining brightly, and everyone had a big smile on their faces. Inside the school gym, people waiting for the game to start were full of excitement. First up was a tall boy named Bob from Jinning Junior High School. A few minutes later, Bob won the game! What a surprise! The school reporter interviewed Bob and asked, "How did you prepare for this race?" He replied, "There's no easy way to succeed. I practiced with my teammates and coach every day. That's the key to my victory, and I'm proud of what I did in the game. My coach always says that you never know the result until the last moment, so I always take every practice seriously and make the most of every second in the game." Let's cheer for all the hard-working athletes and celebrate the best school competition! 那是一個溫暖又晴朗的日子。陽光閃耀著,每個人臉上都帶著笑容。學校的體育館裡,等待比賽開始的觀眾都非常興奮。第一位上場的是一位高個子的男生──來自金寧國中的Bob。幾分鐘後,Bob贏得了比賽!真是太令人驚訝了! 校刊記者訪問了Bob:「你是怎麼準備這場比賽的呢?」 他回答:「成功沒有捷徑。我每天都和隊友、教練一起練習。這就是我獲勝的關鍵,我為自己在比賽中的表現感到驕傲。教練常說,直到最後一刻前,你永遠不知道結果會是什麼。所以我總是認真對待每一次練習,也珍惜比賽中的每一秒。」 讓我們一起為這些努力的選手們加油,慶祝這場最棒的校際比賽吧!

My feelings 我的感覺
I feel happy when playing table tennis with my friends at the sports center. I feel sad when it's too hot and I can't go outside to play. I feel angry when I'm free, but I am not allowed to play online games. I feel excited when I go to a hot pot restaurant for dinner. I feel bored when I wake up too early and everybody else is still sleeping. I feel scared when I lie to everyone. 我和朋友在運動中心打桌球的時候,我覺得很開心。 天氣太熱,我不能出去玩的時候,我覺得很難過。 我有空的時候卻不准玩線上遊戲,我覺得很生氣。 我去火鍋店吃晚餐的時候,我覺得很興奮。 我起得太早,而其他人還在睡覺的時候,我覺得很無聊。 當我對大家說謊的時候,我覺得很害怕。

What I Have Learned from My Failures我從失敗中學到的事
Failure is a part of life, and I have experienced it, too. My biggest failure in life is math. I listened to my teacher carefully and practiced many math problems every day, but my grades still didn't improve. I felt that math was my biggest failure, and I didn't know what to do. When I failed, I started to lose confidence because I cared about math a lot. I was disappointed in myself and even felt like giving up. Luckily, I have many good friends. They comforted me and told me not to give up. They taught me to always look on the bright side of life and reminded me that there is no shortcut to success in math. Even though I failed, I learned that every failure has meaning. This failure in math taught me how to improve myself. Now I study hard every day, and my math grades are getting better little by little. 失敗是人生的一部分,我也經歷過。對我來說,最大的失敗就是數學。我每天都認真聽老師上課,也做了很多數學練習題,但成績還是沒有進步。我覺得數學是我人生中最大的失敗,不知道該怎麼辦。 當我失敗時,我越來越沒有信心,因為我很在意數學。我對自己感到失望,甚至想放棄。幸好我有很多好朋友,他們安慰我、鼓勵我不要放棄。他們教我要學會看到生活中光明的一面,並提醒我學好數學沒有捷徑。 雖然我曾經失敗,但我學到每一次失敗都有意義。這次的數學失敗讓我知道該如何讓自己變得更好。現在我每天都在努力學習,數學成績也一天天慢慢進步。

Shanhou Folk Culture Village 山后民俗文化村
My recent exploration of the Shanhou Folk Culture Village to create a video documentary on the architectural details of its Minnan houses was truly magical! I chose this village over other places in Kinmen because its founders Mr. Wand and his son had traveled to Japan in Northeast Asia, rather than to Southeast Asia where most Kinmen merchants typically did. The village preserves 18 Minnan-style buildings, each filled to the brim with architectural secrets waiting to be uncovered. What makes Shanhou Folk Culture Village so unique is howevery detail of its Minnan architecture carries both beauty and meaning. The buildings follow a chessboard-style layout, with symmetrical courtyards and elegant swallowtail roofs that curve gracefully against the sky, symbolizing prosperity and upward success. White mortar bricks are arranged both diagonally and horizontally-together forming the phrase thriving descendants-while the red bricks, some accidentally burnt with black streaks resembling swallowtails, havebecame a distinctive feature. Defensive and spiritual wisdom are embedded in the designs: thick stone walls and low rooftops resist typhoons, while narrow side doors once helped protect families from pirate raids. In some cases, plates were embedded loosely in the walls so they would rattle if climbed upon, acting as an early warning system. Even the smallest details-like ledges under the eaves for birds, window pillars always set in odd numbers to represent yang energy, or ancestor and deity shrines placed at different heights to show hierarchy-speak volumes about the values of harmony, protection, and reverence. Every carving, every color, and every structural choice here reflects idioms, blessings, and symbolism, making the village not just a home for its past residents, but a living encyclopedia of Minnan culture. 我最近前往山后民俗文化村進行探索,並製作一部關於閩南建築細節的紀錄片,這趟旅程實在是充滿魔力!我之所以選擇這座村落,而不是金門的其他地方,是因為它的創建者─兩位王姓商人,當年不是像大多數金門商人一樣前往東南亞,而是前往東北亞的日本。村落內保存著十八棟閩南式建築,每一棟都蘊藏著等待被揭開的建築秘密。 山后民俗文化村的獨特之處,在於其閩南建築的每個細節兼具美感與寓意。整個建築群呈棋盤式布局,院落對稱,優雅的燕尾屋脊向天空優美翹起,象徵著繁榮與步步高升。白灰勾縫的紅磚牆,既有斜砌也有橫砌,寓意「人丁興旺」;部分紅磚因過火而帶有黑色條紋,形似燕尾,意外卻成為了鮮明的特色。 建築中還融入了防禦與精神智慧:厚實的石牆與低矮的屋頂能抵禦颱風;狹窄的側門曾幫助家族抵擋海盜入侵;有些牆內甚至鬆嵌陶碟,若有人攀爬便會晃動作響,成為早期的警示系統。即使是最細微的設計,如屋簷下為鳥兒停棲的小平台、象徵陽氣的奇數窗柱,或是高低有別的神祠與祖先牌位,都展現了人們對和諧、守護與敬畏的重視。 這裡的每一處雕刻、每一抹色彩、每一項結構選擇,都蘊含成語、祝福與象徵,使這座村落不僅是昔日居民的家園,更是一部活的閩南文化百科全書。

What I Have Learned from My Failures我從失敗中學到的事
Failure is a part of life, and I have experienced it, too. My biggest failure has always been math. It feels like it has been with me since I was born. At first, I hoped I could be good at it. But when I failed, I felt sad because I didn't know how to fix it. I was worried that people around me would laugh at me. Every time I had a math test, I seemed to hear people laughing, even though no one was actually next to me. Now, as a teenager, I have a different perspective on my failures. Even though I struggle with math, I've learned that it doesn't mean the end of the world. Looking back, I now understand that failure is always teaching me something: focus on what you are good at, because every star shines when it finds its own sky. 失敗是人生的一部分,我自己也經歷過。我最大的失敗就是數學。好像從我出生以來,它就一直是我的難題。一開始,我很希望自己能學好它。但每次失敗時,我都很難過,因為不知道該怎麼解決。我還常常擔心身邊的人會笑我。每次數學考試時,我甚至會「聽到」有人在笑我,雖然其實我旁邊根本沒有人。 現在長大一點,成為青少年後,我對失敗有了不一樣的看法。雖然數學還是很難,但我學到一件事:數學不好並不是世界末日。回頭看,我發現失敗其實一直在教我一些事--那就是要專注在自己擅長的地方,因為每一顆星星找到屬於自己的天空時,就能閃耀。

Key 鑰匙
A key is a very useful tool. You can unlock doors with it. You can also lock things like jewelry so thieves can't take them away. A key looks simple, but it is very important. It is a piece of metal with a special shape. It has a part that you can hold. If you want to use a key, you must have a lock. A lock has a hole where you put the key in. You can turn it left or right to lock or unlock a door, a car, a suitcase, a mailbox, a motorcycle, and more. I can't imagine my life without keys. If there were no keys, no one would put locks on their houses, because nothing could open them, and thieves could come into our homes easily at any time. 鑰匙是一個很有用的東西。用它可以打開門,也可以把東西鎖起來,比如首飾,這樣小偷就拿不走。 鑰匙看起來很簡單,但其實很重要。它是一小塊特別形狀的金屬,上面有一個地方可以拿著。要用鑰匙,一定要有鎖。鎖上有一個洞,可以把鑰匙插進去,再往左或往右轉,就能把門、汽車、行李箱、信箱、摩托車等等鎖起來或打開。 我無法想像沒有鑰匙的生活。如果世界上沒有鑰匙,大家就不會裝鎖,因為根本沒有東西可以打開它。這樣一來,小偷就能隨時跑進我們家了。
