A Review of the Movie "Life of Pie"

My son emailed me a review of the movie "Life of Pie" last night.  The review wows me.  It discusses the movie in terms of id, ego, and super-ego.   Though the movie still keeps making me think, I've never gone so deep.  My reflection seems so superficial compared to Mr. Tsai's insightful analysis.

Quotes from "Life of Pie"

This afternoon I went to see the movie "Life of Pie."  It is based on the novel written by Yann Martel.  The story centers around a young Indian boy's experience of surviving a shipwreck.  What makes the experience special is the company of a Bangladesh tiger, which in the beginning the protagonist might fall prey to at any moment when they are on the same boat, getting through the ordeal.  Pie finally tames the tiger, but still loses their connection when their boat finally gets stranded on a beach, ending their days on the sea, the tiger disappears in the forest, Pie passes out and later is rescued.

No Makeup Day--"High School Girls Promote 'True Beauty'"

My sister who has been in the States for more than 20 years told me the other day while she was in Taiwan that it's an etiquette to wear makeup to work, a date, or a formal occasion.  And I know many American high school girls use cosmetics.  I always wonder why because in my opinion, at such a young age, they should let their natural beauty shine and be proud of it.   Here is an article related to this issue.

When It Comes to Grammar, Practice Works Better Than Explanation

Last Sunday, when asked why in English we put -(e)s after a verb, besides telling my neice that -(e)s is added to a verb and that a /s/ or /z/ sound is heard when the subject is third person singular, I asked her to tell me something about her mother, her teacher, her best friend, etc.  My neice was happy to say something about these people because they are close to her and they are real.  When she forgot to utter the /s/ or /z/ sound, I repeated the verb with a rising intonation, and she had no problems correcting the mistake on her own.

A good strategy to improve reading comprehension is to read in English what we are familiar with.  Recently, BBC news has been running articles about key figures in Chinese history.  This is a good authentic reading material because the intended readers are native speakers of English.  That is, it is written not for a pedagogical reason but to give information.

法國小學生周休3日 但…壓力好大

法國學生每周上課四天，每天午餐兩小時，假期也多過幾乎所有西方國家。聽起來像他們每周法定工時35小時的父母那樣輕鬆愉快。其實不然。

What School Has Yet to Teach

Two days ago, I posted a survey on FB, asking my FB friends what they think school has yet to teach.  All the answers came from my students except one.  The following is a list of the responses, arranging in the order of the respondents' graduation year from high school.

當台灣大學生羨幕韓國大學生畢業就有平均6萬多元起薪時，不妨也看看韓國企業的英文要求。美國教育測驗服務社（ETS）台灣區代表昨天公布台、日、韓1千大企業召募員工英語能力調查，台灣企業要求多益550分，但韓國企業門檻訂在700分，足足比台灣多了150分。

To Freshman Physics Majors

This afternoon, while flipping through and re-organizing my files, I came across the following article.  Fortunately, I  found it online just now.  Since a few students of mine who graduated in July major in physics, I would like to post it in my blog for their reference.  In fact, some parts of it apply to all college students.

Thank goodness that I still keep the newspaper clipping.   This reminds me of the book A Perfect Mess: The Hidden Benefits of Disorder.

Up to now, I still can't erase that stare from my mind...

Today I went to Tainan to visit my dad in ICU in the hospital.  He looked better, no more painful expression on his face except when the nurse was changing the sticky tape used to fasten the tubes.  I kept talking to him and hummed some classical music to soothe him.

Gems of Wisdom from Peter F. Drucker

I came across this publication about some great ideas of Peter F. Drucker, the father of modern management, at a convenience store today.  Atttracted by the title, I bought it and have read more than half of it.

The title of a chapter totally contradicts the common assertion that one should work hard to make up for a lack of natural talent.  It says:

「勤能補拙」？ 可能導致你忘了自身長處

This idea is further complemented by the subtitle:

杜拉克認為，「自己會什麼」比「自己不會什麼」來得重要…避免自己長期將資源和時間浪費在枝微末節上。

My Reading--A Collection of Inspiring Articles for Students

This is a 52-page book I made for students who I taught for only one week at the beginning of this semester. It is a collection of inspiring or thought-provoking articles, meant to ignite students' passion for life and people around as well.  Still, there are some articles very worth reading and highly recommended by former students, but not included in the book, such as Randy Pausch's "All You Have to Do is Ask," "Tell the Truth," and "All You Have Is What You Bring with You."   Fortunately, I have the students' email addresses.

To Take a Gap Year in Australia

This afternoon, I had a gathering with two 309 students who graduated from NHSH last year.   When they were still in school, we didn't have much time to chat, either because they were occupied with their studies, tests, or socialization or because I was busy dealing with other students.  I'm happy that we finally found time to catch up on what we had missed.

學校有項辛苦的觀測工作，地點在中央山脈的深山中，大家都不願意去。有個學生去了，想不到在那裡，遇見了落難的登山隊女學生，兩人一見鍾情，現在孩子都三歲了。每次看到他，我都感到人生的機緣妙不可言。有時萍水相逢會改變一生，所以凡事不可太計較；不但要隨遇而安，且要任勞任怨，因為你永遠不知道，誰在看著你。

提示: 在充斥著不滿與抱怨的忙碌生活中，我們常常忘了還有一件更重要的事—感恩。除了父母外，我們周遭還有許值得我們感謝的人。。請寫一篇英文作文，第一段請指出除了父母外，你最想感謝的人是誰？第二段請說明這個人對你的影響及你想如何表達你的感恩之情。

For You, Our Dearest Graduates

At today's graduation ceremony, a climax is a film featuring 32 NHSH teachers. The movie was directed by Ko Po-yuan (戈伯元老師). In the film, the teachers act as people from all walks of life. After encountering setbacks in their work, they decided to start a new life by being a teacher. A question is presented at the end of the movie: "What will your second life be like after you graduate from NHSH?" Quite thought-provoking.

Excerpts from Four Commencement Speeches

Unit 12 in Book 6 "Have a Good Four Years" is an adaptation from Derek C. Bok's speech to Harvard freshmen in 1971. To introduce to students more good speeches to either high school students or undergraduates, I put excerpts from four commencement speeches in the Reading Comprehension on this semester's final. Students had to answer five questions based on all the four. With the source put in the parentheses following each speech, my intention was to invite students to get online and search for any of the speeches and read the complete one.


VI. Reading Comprehension


The following are excerpts from four commencement speeches. Read them and answer the questions.
