Today as a proctor, when handing out the math test papers to students, I found all the three pages are printed one-side only. At that moment, I was wondering how much paper would have been saved if the test had been printed double-sided.

Reading News Can Be Fun

To make news reading more challenging, yesterday and today while having students read news on the screen together, I left some blanks in the reading and invited the students to guess the missing words.

Welcome Back, Tony

Today Tony, the student who underwent lung surgery two weeks ago due to pneumothorax, came back to school. A few minutes before the first class, when hearing a student say, "Hey, here you are back," I, at that moment talking to another student, turned and saw him stand beside me. He looked good. It was a great joy to have him back in class!

About the Disqualification of Yang Shu-chun--A Report on CNN

This morning, in the first class period, the moment I entered the classroom, Class 314 students asked me if I watched the news yesterday about the taekwondo athlete's disqualification at the Asian Games. They seemed to be very angry about the ruling, deeming it unfair. I told them I couldn't make any comments until I got a clearer picture of what had really happened. To know more about the case, I surfed the Net and found this news report at the CNN website.

For English learners, I underlined in the article some fixed chunks, or collocations, and two important grammar points I've just discussed with my classes recently.

Congratulations, Ken!

This morning, Ken (王慶剛) called and told me he's got admitted to the Graduate Institute of Journalism at NTU. Knowing how hard-working he'd always been, I was happy but not surprised.
