An interesting lesson

In today's class, we discussed Unit 7 "Shopping for Souvenirs in Taiwan." Ben said it was an interesting lesson. Students like to read something which is very related to their life, something they are familiar with, something which is happening here and now.


Among the popular souvenirs sold in Taiwan which the writer suggested are name chops, traditional tea sets, delicate handheld fans, hand-paitned oil-paper umbrella, custom-made banners with Chinese calligraphy on them, CDs of Taiwan's roots music, bamboo products, waterproof hats and raincoats made of grass and bamboo fiber, and anything with Chinese characters on it, such a T-shirt. To my surprise, Taiwanese liquor and traditional Chinese-style clothing are described as improper things to give as souvenirs.
