Carp's March in 2016

March 6 ( By Zhi-ting Chen )

On a Sunday of March, we went bicycle riding along the Xindian River.  The scenery there was very beautiful and really suitable to release pressure in free time because many people went there to walk and exercise.

Later, we went to the Raohe night market.  Walking in the night market, we could hear languages of different countries, such as Japanese and Korean.  We also went to eat the famous pepper cakes.  Although we had to queue up for a long time, the pepper cakes were once reported on CNN.  The pepper cake was one of the must-eat snack in the Raohe night market.  I was happy to sample the delicious pepper cakes.

  

March 11 ( By Kano Lai )

     Today, Kano and I went to the barber shop to cut hair because Kano’s hair was too long.  The customers were few in the barber shop, so it was Kano’s turn to have his hair cut soon.  It took Kano forty minutes to have his hair cut and washed.  After the haircut, Kano felt refreshed and cool.  However, Kano was too shy, so he didn’t take a photo with me at that time.  Finally, we went home and kept finishing our work.

March 12 ( By Shu-yue Huang )

     I went out with Shu-yue and Shu-yue's friends in Jinshan today.  Why did we need to go out today?  That was because we had to do a piece of homework, have lunch, and explore how beautiful Jinshan was.  During our visit, all of us learned more about Jinshan.  But we didn’t take a lot of photos.  Through this trip, I had a great time with Shu-yue and Shu-yue's friends.

  

March 20^th ( By Yu-zhen Xu )

     Today, Yu-zhen took me to the annual Wan Jinshi Marathon.  I was so excited because the marathon was special to me.  There were many limitations, so Yu-zhen only ran the 7 km happy marathon.  I felt so happy for her because Yu-zhen and I could see many people running happily on the road.  If I could take part in the marathon, I would try the 14 km one because that was good and for me and that was a big challenge!

For attending this marathon, people had to be drawn to take part in the marathon.  I was not drawn.  But luckily, Yu-zhen was drawn and got the place of running this marathon!  I was so happy for her!  I was so excited about this marathon.  Yu-zhen and I were too excited to sleep the day before the marathon.  When I was at the event area, I was happy to see Yu-zhen running happily along the road!

March 31^st: the Final Day of Our First Monthly Exam ( By Ru-hui Kuo )

     Due to the exam, I stayed up late for studying.  Today, I took Carp and my friends to celebrate the final day of the exam.  We went to a new restaurant to have dinner together.  The restaurant was filled with guests after school.  So, we made a reservation for the seats so that we could avoid waiting for long.  Upon entering the restaurant, we needed to wait for a while.  The boss was polite and gentle.  He introduced lots of their cuisines to us because this was our first time here.  The boss also told us that they would have different dishes in different seasons so that they could appeal to many people.  I thought that was a good idea.  As for the meals, we liked them very much.  I thought Carp had the same opinion as I.  If we have more chances, we will come here again and enjoy different dishes.

Carp's February in 2016

February 27^th (By Mei-yi Ju)

Today was a rainy day.  It’s raining very heavily.  During this three-day 228 break, Mei Yi, Shu-yue I expected to dine out.  Unfortunately, it was a rainy day.  However, the rain wouldn’t affect our mood to go out.

We met in a district office at twelve o’clock.  Then we decided to go to the gratin restaurant on an old street eating lunch.  The meals there were delicious.  Its casserole spaghetti was mouthwatering and the dessert, the blueberry cheese cake, was heavenly.  In addition, the prices were fair.  We should come around a lot in the future.

Finally, we explored the surrounding areas, and then we had a rest at McDonald's.  I bought some foods again.  I was very full today.

             

February 26 ( By Sean Lin )

On February 26, Sean took me to the Taipei Arena.  We watched a basketball game in it. HBL is the most famous game to many young people in Taiwan.  We only watched it for ten minutes because we had other plan.  Then, we went to Ximending and watched a movie.  The movie title was “The Denmark girl.”  The story was about a man turning to a woman.  The plot was a little sorrowful.  After the movie, we both got hungry.  So, we started to find something to eat.  Finally, we decided to eat steak.  The steak tasted yummy.  We also strolled in the night market.  February twenty-sixth was a wonderful day.  I hope we will hang out next time.

February 25 ( By Zheng-zhan Wei )

     On Friday, I went to an arena to watch HBL with Zheng-zhan Wei.  We only enjoyed a section of the game.  Although we didn’t spend much time there, it was wonderful.  Then, we went to a restaurant eating lunch.  The lunch was delicious and I was full.  Watching a movie was our next plan.  We watched the movie “The Danish Girl,” and it was about a man who changed his gender in the 1900s.  After the movie, we walked round Xinmanding and fell tired.  We also rode a bike in Xindend.  Along the river, we enjoyed wind when riding with speed.  In the end, we also went to a night market eating pepper cakes.  Today was a fun day to me.

February 24 ( By Joe Xu )

     In the afternoon, my friend Joe and I went to play basketball till six o'clock.  It's so tiring but we were very happy.  We met many experts on the basketball court.  We learned a lot of basketball skills from them although we lost the game many times.  It's a good experience and memory to me.

February 20 ( By I-zhon Lee )

     Hello, everyone.  I am Carp.  I am very pleased to have this opportunity to attend the annual Leaders’ Camp.   What is Leaders’ Camp?  Simply put, through this camp, people are inspired to show their leadership potential.  In the process, we learn how to express our thoughts, bring the most benefits to our teams, and be a successful leader.

As time passes, some conflicts happen from time to time because everyone wants to express their own opinions and be leaders.  This may lead to consensus in a team.  When things were out of control, the instructor used a “Spade J” poker card to settle the issue.  Probably only those who attended the Leaders’ Camp would understand this.
