Where Will I Be in Ten Years? 十年後的我會在哪裡?
"The best way to predict your future is to create it." - Abraham Lincoln In ten years, who will I be? Will I find success and happiness? The future is unknown, but one thing is for sure: I have the power to create it. This is the story of my journey ahead, the choices I will make, and the person I will become. My name is Nick. Right now, I am a student at Jin-Ning Primary and Junior High School. I enjoy listening to music and reading books. In ten years, I will be twenty-four years old. I plan to study in the Department of English at National Taiwan Normal University. In the future, I want to be a cram school teacher, because not only can I choose the students I want to teach, but it is also a stable job that allows me to earn a lot of money. Most importantly, I feel accomplished when teaching students and learning new things. I have some dreams that I want to achieve: to travel around the world, see a Taylor Swift concert, and earn a lot of money. These dreams are not easy to achieve, so right now, I have to improve my English skills by listening to English songs and watching English videos every day. I used to like English songs just because of their melody, but now, I've started to pay more attention to their lyrics and try to sing along with them. I think this is a good way to improve my English. Step by step, I believe I will get closer to the life I dream of. The road will not always be easy. Sometimes, English grammar will be difficult. Sometimes, traveling will be too expensive. I might not get into my first-choice school. But each problem will help me grow stronger. Problems are not walls - they are steps that help me become the teacher I want to be. In ten years, I hope to be more confident and brave. I wish that when I face a problem or make a mistake, I will be able to handle it better. I feel excited and nervous about the future because it is challenging. Lincoln said that we can predict our future by creating it. I say that we can create our future by first being brave enough to dream it. 「預測未來的最好方法就是創造未來。」──亞伯拉罕‧林肯 十年後的我會是什麼樣子呢?我會找到成功與幸福嗎?未來是未知的,但有一點是確定的:我有能力去創造它。這是我未來旅程的故事,這些是我將做出的選擇,還有我將成為的人。 我叫Nick。現在,我是金寧國中小學的學生。我喜歡聽音樂和閱讀書籍。十年後,我會是24歲。我計劃在國立台灣師範大學的英語系繼續深造。未來,我想當一名補習班老師,因為不僅可以選擇我想教的學生,這也是一份穩定的工作,讓我能賺到很多錢。最重要的是,我在教學和學習新知識的過程中會感到很有成就感。 我有一些夢想想要實現:環遊世界、看一場泰勒·斯威夫特的演唱會,以及賺很多錢。這些夢想並不容易實現,所以現在,我每天都會聽英文歌和看英文影片來提升我的英語能力。我以前喜歡英文歌,只是因為它們的旋律,但現在,我開始更注意歌詞並試著跟著唱。我認為這是提升我英語的好方法。一步一步來,我相信我會越來越接近我夢想中的生活。 這條路不會總是那麼容易。有時候,英語語法會很難;有時候,旅行會太貴;我可能無法進入我的第一志願學校。但每一個問題都會幫助我變得更強大。問題不是牆壁,而是幫助我成為理想中的老師的階梯。 十年後,我希望自己能變得更有自信和更勇敢。我希望當我面對問題或犯錯時,能夠更好地處理。我對未來既興奮又緊張,因為它充滿挑戰。林肯曾說過,我們可以通過創造來預測未來。而我說,我們可以通過勇敢地去夢想,來創造我們的未來。

The Marvelous City 美好的城市
I live in Kinmen. It's a small island next to China, but it belongs to Taiwan. You can see China from the beaches of the island. It's beautiful and fun. There are a lot of farms and a few houses and buildings. There are many wonderful things to do and see in my city. It's famous for its Wind Lions and sorghum wine. There are statues of Wind Lions and sorghum fields everywhere, which help people become really good at making sorghum wine. Tourists can ride bikes, go for a walk, or go running while exploring the island because there aren't many cars. People who love architecture would be fascinated to see the ancient houses and Western-style buildings on this island. They can also go fishing because there are many ponds filled with fish. You can also go birdwatching because there are different kinds of birds here. There are a lot of beaches, so you can try collecting some seashells along the beach. I have lived on this island for ten years, and I feel happy here. 我住在金門。金門是一個在中國大陸旁邊的小島,但它是屬於台灣的。從海邊就可以看到對岸的中國。這裡又美又好玩,有很多農田,也有一些房子和建築物。 我的家鄉有很多好玩又特別的地方。這裡有名的是風獅爺和高粱酒。到處都可以看到風獅爺的雕像,也有很多高粱田,大家都很會釀高粱酒。觀光客來到這裡,可以騎腳踏車、散步或跑步,因為路上車子不多。喜歡建築的人,一定會很喜歡這裡的古厝和西式建築。這裡還有很多魚池,所以也可以去釣魚。因為有各種不同的鳥,也很適合賞鳥。海邊也很多,大家可以去撿貝殼喔! 我在這個島上已經住了十年,我覺得很開心。

Toy's Party 玩具派對
In English class, Teacher Sonia asked us to join a toy party with Filipino kids. This was my self-introduction: "Kumusta. We are from Kinmen, Taiwan. My name is Elsa. I'm six years old.

A Lesson Learned on a Rainy Day 在雨天學到的一課
Fifteen-year-old Judy was thrilled when she ordered her favorite Harry Potter book online. Six days later, she received a notification that her package had arrived at the local convenience store. Excited to get her hands on the book, she decided to ride her bicycle to pick it up. Before leaving, her mother warned her about the weather forecast predicting rain and suggested she take an umbrella. However, Judy dismissed her mother's concerns as unnecessary worrying. The road to the store went smoothly, and she successfully picked up her package. However, the weather suddenly changed dramatically. Her decision to ignore her mother's advice came at a high cost on her return trip. Both Judy and her precious new book got completely soaked. To make matters worse, she caught a bad cold the next day, forcing her to stay in bed instead of enjoying her new book. This experience taught her a valuable lesson about the importance of heeding both weather forecasts and her mother's wisdom. 十五歲的朱迪在網上訂購了她最喜愛的《哈利·波特》書籍,當她收到通知說包裹已經到達當地的便利店時,她興奮不已。六天後,她決定騎自行車去取書。出發前,媽媽提醒她天氣預報預示會下雨,並建議她帶把雨傘。然而,朱迪認為媽媽的擔心多餘,便不以為意。 前往便利店的路程順利無阻,她順利拿到了包裹。然而,天氣突然發生了劇變。她忽視媽媽建議的決定在回程時付出了沉重的代價。朱迪和她珍貴的新書被淋得透濕。更糟的是,她第二天得了重感冒,不得不躺在床上,無法享受她的新書。這次經歷讓她深刻體會到,聽從天氣預報和媽媽的建議有多麼重要。

The Scariest Experience in My Life 我人生中最可怕的經歷
Something strange and unbelievable happened to me last weekend. It was a rainy day. We went to play basketball in our school gym, and when it was about time for us to go home, it was raining heavily. My friend Jerry and I forgot to bring our umbrellas, so we had to run. We planned to go to our classmate Max's home, but unfortunately, we got lost on our way. As the sky got darker and darker, the weather grew colder and colder. Jerry and I had been lost for hours, and our cell phones' batteries were dead. We were cold, tired, and starving. We almost gave up hope and lay down on the ground when, suddenly, an ancient and remote castle appeared. It was eleven o'clock at night, so even though it didn't make any sense to find a castle in Kinmen, we decided to walk in anyway. Inside the castle, we saw an old gentleman in a nice suit. He introduced himself as Hulk and welcomed us to his place. The place was bright, clean, and spacious. There was even a big, nice fireplace in the middle of the living room. "There are plenty of bedrooms here. You can sleep wherever you like." We were surprised to hear that but truly thankful for Hulk's help. Hulk left. Jerry and I were a little bit afraid, so together we explored the place and finally chose a room to stay in. Because there were no beds in the room, Jerry and I had to sit back to back and sleep in the corner. It was Monday morning. The sun shone through the window, and we got up and saw something scary. A skeleton dressed in a nice suit was sitting in front of the window across our room. We screamed, rushed out of the castle, and never went back. It was the scariest experience in my life so far. 上個週末,發生了一件既奇怪又難以置信的事情。那天是個下著大雨的日子。我們去學校的體育館打籃球,當我們準備要回家的時候,外面正下著滂沱大雨。我和我的朋友Jerry忘了帶雨傘,所以我們只好跑回去。我們原本計畫要去同學Max的家,但不幸的是,我們在路上迷路了。 隨著天色越來越暗,天氣也變得越來越冷。我和Jerry迷路已經好幾個小時,手機的電池也沒電了。我們又冷又累又餓,差點就放棄希望,準備躺在地上休息時,突然眼前出現了一座古老又偏僻的城堡。那時已經是晚上11點,雖然在金門找到一座城堡根本不合邏輯,但我們還是決定走進去看看。 城堡裡,我們看到一位穿著西裝的老先生。他自我介紹說自己叫Hulk,並歡迎我們來到他的地方。這裡很明亮、乾淨又寬敞,客廳中央甚至還有一個大而漂亮的壁爐。"這裡有很多臥房,你們可以選擇任何一個睡。"聽到這番話,我們雖然感到驚訝,但也非常感謝Hulk的幫助。 Hulk離開後,我和Jerry有點害怕,所以我們一起探索了這個地方,最後選了一間房間住下來。因為房間裡沒有床,我和Jerry只好背對背坐在角落裡,準備睡覺。 到了星期一早上,陽光透過窗戶照進來,我們起床後看到了一個非常可怕的東西。那是一具穿著西裝的骷髏,正坐在我們房間對面的窗戶旁邊。我們尖叫著衝出城堡,再也沒有回去過。那真的是我人生中最可怕的經歷。

Camping in the Rain 雨中露營
Something strange and unbelievable happened to my classmates last weekend. Bob and Jerry were best friends. They planned to go camping with the scouts club. In the evening, they were sent into the forest to collect some sticks for the campfire. Unfortunately, it started to rain heavily, and they didn't have an umbrella. They ran quickly to a big, fancy, ancient house, hoping to borrow one. Jerry knocked on the door. "Excuse me, we are Boy Scouts from Jinning Junior High School. May we borrow an umbrella, please?" A friendly old man opened the door and welcomed them in. "Of course, my boys. You are all wet. Come in and have some tea and snacks. I will go get an umbrella for you." Jerry and Bob were very hungry, so they didn't want to miss a free treat. They walked inside and enjoyed a fancy tea time. After the big meal, they felt very sleepy. The friendly old man came in again to clean the table. "It's still raining outside. Instead of sleeping in a tent in the rain, why not stay here for the night? I'll rest on this sofa. You can sleep anywhere you like." Jerry and Bob looked at each other and smiled. How lucky they were! They were supposed to go back and meet their scout friends, but they just couldn't leave this warm, cozy place. They thanked the old man and happily stayed. They slept soundly all night and forgot they came just to borrow an umbrella. The next morning, a cold breeze woke Jerry and Bob up. The fire in the fireplace had gone out, and they saw that the window was broken. Was there a robbery last night? They went into the old man's bedroom to check on him, but they couldn't find him anywhere. Suddenly, they heard a noise by their feet - a rat ran by and hid under the sofa. They followed the rat and saw a skeleton on the sofa! Jerry and Bob were terrified. They ran out of the house, into the forest, and back to their camp. When they looked back, the big, fancy, ancient house had disappeared. They were still wet and starving in the rain. 雨中露營 上週末,我的同學們經歷了一件奇怪又難以置信的事情。Bob 和 Jerry 是最要好的朋友,他們計劃和童子軍社一起去露營。傍晚時,他們被派去森林裡撿一些柴火來生營火。不幸的是,開始下起大雨,他們又沒帶傘。他們趕緊跑到一棟又大又漂亮的古老房子,希望能借一把傘。 Jerry 敲了門說:「不好意思,我們是金寧國中的童子軍,可以借我們一把傘嗎?」一位親切的老先生開門,歡迎他們進來。「當然可以,孩子們。你們都淋濕了。進來喝點茶、吃點點心吧。我去拿傘給你們。」當時 Jerry 和 Bob 餓壞了,所以他們決定不錯過這份免費的大餐。他們走進屋裡,享受了一段豪華的下午茶時光。 吃飽後,他們感到很睏。那位親切的老先生再次進來收拾桌子說:「外面還在下雨。與其在帳篷裡淋雨睡覺,不如今晚就待在這裡吧?我就在這張沙發上休息,你們可以隨便選地方睡。」 Jerry 和 Bob 互看了一眼,笑了。他們好幸運啊!他們本來應該回去找其他童子軍的,但現在實在不想離開這個溫暖又舒適的地方。他們向老先生道謝,快樂地留下來。他們一夜好眠,甚至忘了自己原本只是來借一把傘。 隔天早上,一陣冷風吹醒了他們。壁爐裡的火已經熄了,而且窗戶也破了。昨晚發生了搶案嗎?他們走進老先生的臥室想找他,但哪裡都找不到。突然,他們腳邊傳來聲音──一隻老鼠跑過去,躲到沙發底下。他們跟著老鼠一看,竟然看到沙發上有一具骷髏!Jerry 和 Bob 嚇壞了。他們衝出那棟房子,跑進森林,回到自己的營地。回頭一看,那棟又大又漂亮的古老房子竟然不見了。他們仍然淋著雨、餓著肚子。

What I Want to Be When I Grow Up 我長大後想做的工作
Have you ever dreamed about what you want to be when you grow up? When I grow up, I want to be a scientist. The main reason I want to be a scientist is because I want to discover different species that are non-human (humanoid) or alien-like creatures that might be out there in the universe, on other planets, or in galaxies, black holes, wormholes, and other mysterious places in space. Another reason I want to be a scientist is to explore new types of cells, such as bacteria, viruses, amoebas, and other microscopic organisms or diseases that could exist outside of Earth. The type of scientist I want to be is an astronomer. Astronomers usually use telescopes to discover planets beyond Earth and study them to see if they could support life or have new forms of life that go beyond our imagination. Some astronomers work with space agencies like NASA to plan space missions. If I were an astronomer, I would likely discover exoplanets, like J1407B. If you don't know what an exoplanet is, it's a planet that orbits a star outside of our solar system. J1407B is also known as "Super Saturn" because of its giant ring system. To become an astronomer, I will study science and math in school and learn more about planets and the universe. I will also explore the internet to learn more about other planets and potential new life forms. Reading books about space, watching space documentaries, participating in science fairs, and visiting planetariums could also help me achieve my goal of becoming an astronomer in the future. I really hope to achieve this dream one day. Don't you think it's exciting? 你有沒有曾經夢想過長大後想做什麼呢?我長大後想當一位科學家。我想當科學家的主要原因是,我想發現一些不同的物種,像是非人類的(擬人類)或是外星生物,這些生物可能潛伏在宇宙的某個角落,或許存在於其他星球、銀河系、黑洞、蟲洞等神秘的太空場所。另一個原因是,我想探索新的細胞種類,像是細菌、病毒、變形蟲等微生物,還有可能存在地球外的其他疾病。 我想成為的科學家類型是天文學家。天文學家通常使用望遠鏡來發現地球以外的行星,並研究這些行星是否適合生命生存,或是否擁有超乎我們想像的生命形式。有些天文學家會與像是 NASA 這樣的太空機構合作,規劃太空任務。 如果我成為天文學家的話,我很可能會發現類似 J1407B 的外行星。如果你不知道外行星是什麼,那就是一顆繞著太陽系外的恆星運行的行星。J1407B 也被稱為「超土星」,因為它擁有巨大的環系。 要成為天文學家,我會在學校努力學習科學和數學,並深入了解行星和宇宙。我也會利用網路學習更多關於其他行星和潛在的新生命形式的資訊。閱讀太空相關的書籍、觀看太空紀錄片、參加科學展覽,還有去天文館參觀,也都能幫助我實現成為天文學家的目標。我真的希望有一天能夠實現這個夢想,你覺得這不是很刺激嗎?

My Dream Trip to Australia 我的夢想之旅──澳大利亞
Hello! My name is Garles. I was born in Kinmen, and I study at Jincheng Junior High School. I am thirteen years old, and I enjoy learning different things. I learned to play the tuba when I was nine years old. Music makes me feel relaxed, and I forget about unhappy things when I play it. During the last summer vacation, many of my friends visited Australia. They shared that the trip was a lot of fun. They made many new friends, stayed with host families, and experienced the local culture. After hearing about their experiences, I hope to have the opportunity to participate in this program and visit Australia. I want to learn about the local culture, taste the local food, and observe the local animals, such as Tasmanian devils and wombats. I want to participate in an international exchange program because this activity will allow me to step out of Kinmen. The world is big and full of places worth discovering. I look forward to stepping out of my comfort zone, leaving my hometown, and discovering more beautiful things. 大家好!我叫Garles。我出生在金門,現在就讀於金城初中。我十三歲,喜歡學習不同的事物。我九歲時學會了吹低音號。音樂讓我感到放鬆,當我演奏音樂時,我會忘記那些不開心的事情。 在去年的暑假,很多我的朋友去了澳大利亞。他們分享說這次旅行非常快樂。他們結交了很多新朋友,住在寄宿家庭,並體驗了當地的文化。聽完他們的經歷後,我希望有機會參加這個計劃,去澳大利亞,了解當地的文化,品嚐當地的食物,並觀察當地的動物,比如塔斯馬尼亞惡魔和袋熊。 我想參加國際交流計劃,因為這項活動讓我有機會走出金門。世界這麼大,充滿了值得探索的地方。我期待著走出我的舒適區,離開我的家鄉,發現更多美麗的事物。

A Better Self 更好的自己
Talia, a junior high school student, had an overwhelming addiction to sweets. Every day, her meals consisted of sugary treats: bubble milk tea and doughnuts for breakfast, cakes and pudding for lunch, and ice cream with syrup for dinner. Her excessive consumption of desserts became a serious problem because she gained weight day by day. Most terribly, her poor dietary habits not only affected her appearance but also her health, as she didn't have balanced nutrition, which led to daily digestive problems. One day, she was determined to make a change. Talia made a comprehensive plan. She gradually replaced sugary foods with nutritious meals and committed herself to daily exercise. The process wasn't easy, but her perseverance paid off. As weeks turned into months, she noticed positive changes in both her physical appearance and overall well-being. Finally, Talia transformed herself into a healthier, more confident person. Her story serves as an inspiring reminder that with determination and proper habits, positive change is always possible. The key is to maintain a balanced diet and exercise regularly. 塔莉亞是一位初中生,她對甜食有著極其強烈的依賴。每天,她的餐點都是糖分高的食物:早餐是珍珠奶茶和甜甜圈,午餐是蛋糕和布丁,晚餐則是淋上糖漿的冰淇淋。她過度攝取甜點成為了一個嚴重的問題,因為她日復一日地增加體重。最糟糕的是,她的惡劣飲食習慣不僅影響了她的外貌,還危害了她的健康,因為她缺乏均衡的營養,這導致了她每天的消化問題。 有一天,她決定做出改變。塔莉亞制定了一個全面的計劃。她逐步用營養豐富的食物取代甜食,並且承諾每天運動。這個過程並不容易,但她的堅持最終得到了回報。隨著幾個月的過去,她在外貌和整體健康方面都注意到了積極的變化。 最終,塔莉亞把自己變成了更加健康、自信的人。她的故事是一個鼓舞人心的例子,證明只要有決心和正確的習慣,積極的改變總是可能的。關鍵是保持均衡的飲食並定期運動。

The Memories of Guningtou 古寧頭的記憶
At Guningtou's tranquil shore, Footprints once marched through storms and cannon fire, Etching stories of courage in the shifting sand, Where echoes of battle still linger. Gentle waves brush the beach, Like storytellers whispering tales of the past. There was a time when the sky turned gray, And thunderous shells shook the trembling earth. Young soldiers stood their ground, Hearts beating in unison with the fearful land, Yet their resolve never faltered, For they fought to shield their cherished home. An ancient banyan tree watched in silence, Witnessing fear, sacrifice, and sorrow. Now, beneath its sheltering shade, children laugh and play, And soft sunlight warms their hopeful smiles. Kinmen, in each grain of your soil, A legacy of heroism gleams, binding past to present. We stroll along your peaceful coast, free from war, Carrying memories of strength into tomorrow. 在古寧頭寧靜的海岸, 曾有足跡穿越風暴與炮火, 在流動的沙灘上刻畫出勇氣的故事, 戰鬥的回聲依然迴盪。 溫柔的海浪輕拂著沙灘, 如同講述過去故事的低語。 曾有一時,天空變得陰暗, 雷鳴般的炮彈震撼著顫抖的大地。 年輕的士兵堅守陣地, 心跳與這片充滿恐懼的土地同頻共振, 然而他們的決心從未動搖, 因為他們為了保護心愛的家園而戰鬥。 一棵古老的榕樹靜靜地守望, 見證了恐懼、犧牲與悲傷。 如今,在它庇蔭下,孩子們歡笑嬉戲, 柔和的陽光溫暖著他們充滿希望的笑容。 金門,在你每一粒土壤中, 英雄的傳承閃耀,將過去與現在緊緊相連。 我們漫步在你寧靜的海岸,遠離戰爭, 將堅韌的記憶帶入明天。

My English Learning Journey 我的英語學習之旅
In my class, I have some of the best English skills among my classmates. I often get excellent grades on exams, have great pronunciation, and when the English teacher asks me a question, I can answer it correctly. My classmates usually think that I study a lot for English or attend a cram school, or that I am just lucky enough to guess all the exam answers. I usually reply to them: No. My success with English started when I was very young. When I was four years old, my life revolved around English. Every video I watched wasn't a cartoon, but an English word-learning video or an English pop song. These videos had a great rhythm that attracted me, and I used them to learn many words and their pronunciation. There was also an alphabet chart on my room's door. After watching the learning videos, I always tried to read the words on the chart. I did this over and over again, and I became good at reading them and memorized them quickly. When I was an elementary school student, I did my best to get good grades and learn vocabulary and sentence structures, but I didn't think I had great English skills at all, and I didn't even use it for other things. Then, while I was searching for information about things I was interested in, I encountered a problem: I couldn't find the information I wanted. When I tried searching in English, I found it! I realized I could get more information and many other things by using English or other languages to search and find. I finally understood how useful English skills were. Now, I can use English to talk to people smoothly, pronounce words correctly, and get good grades on English exams. Additionally, I even gave a speech in front of everyone at school without making a mistake and was praised by the principal. Every time I want to search for more recipes to cook or more methods to improve something, I can use English to search and always find what I need. Having great English skills is very important and useful for me; it has helped me complete many tasks and enjoy a better life. You can also have great English skills like me-or even better-if you make English a part of your daily life. It might sound difficult, right? But I really did it when I was young! If you still think learning English is hard and time-consuming, why not use English to search for things you need but can't find in Chinese? You might find it if you try searching in English. Learning English properly and using it in real life will give you the best experience. 在我的班級裡,我的英語技能是同學中最出色的之一。我經常在考試中取得優異的成績,發音也很準確,當英語老師問我問題時,我也能正確回答。我的同學通常認為我為了學英語學了很多,或者我上了補習班,或者我只是運氣好,猜對了所有考試的答案。我通常會回答他們:不。 我對英語的成功從我很小的時候就開始了。當我四歲的時候,我的生活圍繞著英語。我看的每個視頻都不是卡通,而是學習英語單詞的視頻和英語流行歌曲。這些視頻有著吸引我的節奏,我用它們學了很多單詞和發音。我的房間門上也有一張字母表圖表。每次看完學習視頻後,我總是試著讀圖上的單詞。我一次又一次地做這件事,我變得能夠快速閱讀並記住它們。 當我還是小學生時,我盡力學習,取得好成績,學習詞彙和句型,但我從未認為自己有很強的英語能力,甚至從未將它應用到其他事情上。 後來,在我尋找自己感興趣的事物時,我遇到了一個問題:我無法找到我想要的資料。當我試著用英語搜尋時,我找到了!我意識到,如果我用英語或其他語言來搜索和查找資料,我可以獲得更多的信息和更多的東西。我終於明白了英語技能有多麼有用。 現在,我可以流利地用英語和人交流,正確發音,並且在英語考試中取得好成績。此外,我還在學校的全體師生面前做過一次演講,並且沒有犯錯,還得到了校長的表揚。每次我想搜尋更多的食譜來做菜,或者想尋找改善某些事情的更多方法時,我都可以用英語搜尋,總是能找到我需要的東西。 擁有優秀的英語技能對我來說非常重要且有用,它幫助我完成了許多工作,並享受了更好的生活。如果你想像我一樣,甚至比我更擅長英語,你可以通過讓英語成為你生活的一部分來實現。這聽起來很難對吧?但我確實在年幼時就做到了!如果你還認為學英語很難,並且會花費大量時間,那麼為什麼不試著用英語搜尋那些你無法用中文找到的東西呢?如果你嘗試用英語搜尋,你可能會找到。學習英語並將它應用到生活中,會給你帶來最好的體驗。

Fun in Mount Taiwu 太武山的樂趣
Last time, I went to Mount Taiwu with my friends and my teacher. We went hiking, and I was very happy because I could play with my good friends and learn English from my teacher. When I was on the mountain, I was sweating a lot. I walked a long way to get there. There was a temple, which was very famous in Kinmen. It protected all the people in the area, and we saw it right in front of us. I was really happy this time. I also shared the story of Kinmen with my teacher and friends, and they were very interested in what I said. After walking for just three more minutes, we arrived at the temple. There was a cat, and it was so cute! We touched the cat, but then it ran away. After that, we had to go back. Before leaving, we took a picture in front of the big "毋忘在莒" stone. Hiking was really fun! 上次,我和我的朋友們以及老師一起去了太武山。我們去爬山,我非常開心,因為我可以和好朋友一起玩,還能從老師那裡學英語。當我在山上時,我流了很多汗。我走了很長一段路才到達那裡。那裡有一座廟,這座廟在金門非常有名,保護著這裡的所有人,我們就在它面前看到了它。這次我真的很開心。 我還把金門的故事講給我的老師和朋友們聽,他們對我說的內容非常感興趣。再走了三分鐘,我們到達了廟宇。那裡有一隻貓,非常可愛!我們摸了摸牠,但牠馬上就跑走了。 之後,我們必須返回。離開之前,我們在大「毋忘在莒」石碑前拍了張照片。爬山真的很有趣!

A Busy Day of a Middle School Student 一個中學生的忙碌一天
This morning, I almost slept through my alarm and ended up rushing out of the house at 7:28 AM. I didn't even have time for breakfast, so I grabbed a piece of toast and dashed to school like one of those cartoon characters. Yesterday, I stayed up late finishing homework, and guess what? I was dead tired. During classes, I could barely keep my eyes open. Suddenly, the teacher dropped a pop quiz on us. A POP QUIZ! My brain was so exhausted that I couldn't even figure out how to answer the first question. By the end of the quiz, I knew I was doomed. After dragging myself through the rest of the morning, the clock finally hit 4:30 PM, and it was basketball club time! I needed this break more than anything. My best friend and I had a one-on-one match, and guess what? I won! It was such a close and exciting game that I almost forgot how bad my morning had been. By the end of it, I was starving, so I went to my favorite little restaurant and treated myself to a simple but delicious dinner at 6:30 PM. But my day wasn't over yet. At 7:30 PM, I had math tutoring for two whole hours at a cram school. It was tough, and I felt tired and lethargic. When I finally got home, I took a nice shower, finished my homework, and collapsed into bed. What a crazy, busy day! But at least it ended much better than it started. 今天早上,我差點沒聽到鬧鐘,結果7:28 才匆忙衝出家門。連早餐都沒時間吃,只好抓了一片吐司,像卡通人物一樣衝去學校。 昨天我熬夜做功課,結果猜猜看?我累得快死了。上課時,我幾乎睜不開眼。突然,老師給我們來了一份隨堂小測驗。隨堂小測驗!我的大腦已經疲憊不堪,連第一題該怎麼回答都想不出來。測驗結束時,我知道自己注定完蛋。 熬過了早上的課程,終於等到下午4:30,這是籃球社的時間!我真的比任何時候都更需要這個休息。我的最好朋友和我來了一場一對一的比賽,結果怎樣?我贏了!這場比賽非常接近且激動人心,讓我幾乎忘記了早上的糟糕。比賽結束後,我餓得不行,就去了我最喜愛的小餐館,6:30的時候給自己享受了一頓簡單但美味的晚餐。 但我的一天還沒有結束。7:30,我在補習班上了兩個小時的數學輔導。真是辛苦,我感到又累又無精打采。終於回到家後,我洗了個舒服的澡,做完功課,然後倒頭就睡。真是一個瘋狂又忙碌的一天!不過至少結束得比開始要好。

Syrian rebels have declared the tyrant Bashar al-Assad has been overthrown and the capital Damascus “liberated” after entering the city. The oppressed prisoners have been released from the notorious Saydnaya prison, where rights groups say thousands were tortured and killed. 叛亂分子進攻的速度之快讓世界上許多人措手不及,敘利亞叛軍在進入首都大馬士革後宣布暴君巴沙爾·阿薩德下台及首都大馬士革「解放」,叛亂分子表示,關押在臭名昭著的賽德納亞監獄的人被釋放,人權組織稱有數千人在該監獄遭受酷刑和殺害。 advance:(n.)前進 declare:(v.)宣稱 tyrant:(n.)暴君 overthrown:(v.-pp.)被(武力)推翻 liberated:(v.)被解放 oppressed:(a.)被壓迫的 notorious:(a.)惡名昭彰的 torture:(v.)拷打;折磨 Syrian had been buffeted and fractured by more than a decade of civil war.

Both Iran and Russia were supporters of the Assad regime and helped keep him in power during a grueling civil war that sparked one of the world's largest recent refugee crises. 十多年來,敘利亞一直受到內戰的衝擊和分裂。阿薩德的下台不僅將結束其家族對這個擁有約2300萬人口的國家50多年的獨裁統治並且為這個長期處於區域權力鬥爭交叉點的中東國家帶來了令人震驚的權力重組。伊朗和俄羅斯都是阿薩德政權的支持者,並幫助他在一場殘酷的內戰中繼續掌權,這場內戰引發了近期世界上最大的難民危機之一。 buffet:(v.)風、雨等連續猛擊或打擊 fracture:(v.)使(組織或社團)分裂;解體 decade:(n.)十年 removal:(n.)去除;免職 autocratic:(a.)專制的;獨裁的 reordering:(n.)重新安排 crossroad:(n.)十字路口;交叉點 struggle:(n.)奮鬥;(面對困難而需要的)努力 regime:(n.)政體 grueling:(a.)使人筋疲力盡的;艱辛的;讓人受不了的 spark:(v.)導致;觸發(尤指鬥爭與打鬥) refugee:(n.)難民 ────────────────── Since Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Islamist group that led the offensive to topple Assad, is still designated as a terrorist organization by the U.N., U.S. and others, efforts by the U.N. and others to build a successful transitional government will be complicated, despite the group's leader, Abu Mohammed al-Golani, has sought to present a far more moderate face in recent months.
