Hello,

I live in Los Angeles where there are alot of Asians, many official government pamphlets and documents are available in several languages, such as spanish, japanese, chinese, etc. Howver recently I noticed that the Tradional Chinese versions are being replaced with Simplified Chinese versions. To the white americans it doesnt really make a difference because they just use whatever they think is the official chinese language. But to us, "simplified chinese" is a bastadrized form that was enforced by the uneducated communists that were in power at that time. I hope the beautiful traditional chinese written language passed down through the generations will not be forgotten because of politics.

回覆：
Its a pity that they don learn complicated Chinese characters.

If someone told them the ORIGINAL stories of some Chinese characters, i.e., 象形指事and etc, they would feel complicated Chinese characters make sense, and easier to learn.

Well-applied!!!!

回覆：

When I saw that article, it really cracked me up. No me!! I did not write it. It was the journalist in Washington Post. I think Washington Post journalists are not only humorous, but also well-educated with all the polictical issue between Taiwan and China.

I stayed at a B&B by Loch Ness one time when I was traveling with my professor friend. I had some kind of funny feelings about staying there then - kinda living in the story - kinda wondering if the monster was gonna come out. It was so surreal for me. ^^

Wow, youve been there!!!

Did you take a shot of the Lock Ness?

其實我沒有教過英文也不能說什麼不過教室的管理和有一套學習的方法很重要要怎樣去motivate學生學習也是一門學問當老師事實上不是很容易需要時間去學習可以觀摩別的老師上課情形這樣也可以學到東西不要氣餒一個成功的老師也是經過琢磨來的 ^^

Good luck and have fun! ^^
星媽: 星媽的留言

2006-02-18 10:11:55

sara,

"當了美語老師ㄧ年" 那是你嗎?

其實教室的管理大概是當老師最重要的一門學問不管你教的多好教室亂烘烘的人家還是會說這個老師的能力不足
很多新老師喜歡當個受學生歡迎的老師然而往往受學生歡迎的老師也通常也是不夠嚴格的老師學生也會趁這個機會偷懶 take advantage of a nice teacher - that is not good.
一個好老師always does/thinks what the best for the students, 而不是只是try to 獲得學生的歡心

gotta go, come back later. ^^

This particular video is from Jay Lenos The Tonight Show - its just a little part of the show, its not comedy - don t know what to call it though. Asked my husband, he cannot think of anything either. They are just "pratical jokes" played on people. Well, don t know how to categorize it. Sorry. ^^

回覆：
Thanks anyway!^^

I come up with an idea to call it "prankish video".

我很佩服他說: "學歷對他不很重要，他比較想跟著老爸到大陸鄉下教育窮學生。"
希望他學成後能真的實現他和他爸爸的理想如此能造福更多人吧!
看來他爸爸有很嶄新的教育理念不是很刻版的人而且付出的心血不少能做到這樣實在不簡單
以我自己的經驗其實我不是很讚成跳級早讀完早工作早進入社會這對小孩子有什麼好處呢? 除非一切是無可避免的而且是很自然的事是不是? 呵呵這是一個懶媽媽的想法我想呵

回覆：
Right, it depends on childs ability to skip grades and move forward.

As for the open-minded father, his education experiment is successful.

Sometimes one needs to have great courage to do right things which the majority are usually against.

Yet,the premise is that he is wealthy and well-educated to offer homeschooling designed for his kid.

In fact, squatting on the toilet seats is risky.

One of my friends was the victim when she went travelling in a scenic spot. The toilet was collapsing out of blue when she just squatted on.

Then, she was laughed by the ones who was travelling with her in the trip.

When she told me, I could not help laughing aloud on the spot.Ive never known that toilets will collapse.

Later, I heard of other case happened in a cram school. When a student went to the bathroom, the toilet collapsed as well. So, he got laughed by the whole cram school.

Then,the boss asked him to pay half price for the toilet.

在台灣說真的，只要在公共場合如廁我也都是用這一式來上呢！

沒辦法！實在是有的廁所太髒了．．別說擦啦～
連走進去都需要很大的勇氣耶！

如果我們居住的環境能在乾淨點，人們公德心多一些，上廁所也就不用這麼辛苦囉！

祝福加油！^_^～

One of my students told me that she saw a "sign" near a sink at her junior high school, which was written " CLOSE THE WATER, AFTER USE."

So, she asked me if that was correct or not.

Then, I told her it should be" TURN OFF THE FAUCET, AFTER USE/AFTER USING IT"

:)

回覆：
嗯很多人容易把close跟turn off混用誰叫中文用來用去都是"關"這個字ㄋ呵

*****************************************************
BTW, we say turn off "the water" more often than the faucet, though. ^^

Dear 星媽,

Id like to ask you several grammatical questions from textbooks.

1. She sat thoughtful for a few minutes.

Sat is a verb, yet how come the word behind it is not an "adverb"?

2.American parents usually think that their child should not have more pocket money than the children with whom he regularly connects, even if they are wealthier.

My question is that if one didn put "with" before "whom", but rather left it in the end after "connects", would that sentence be mistaken?

Does one must put "with" before "whom"?

Sara

回覆：
Hello Sara,

I double-checked with my husband... ^_^

1. ...because it is wrong (呵呵) - should be thoughtfully. ^^
She sat thoughtfully for a few minutes.

2. dont need "whom" there, put "with" after connects.
American parents usually think that their child should not have more pocket money than the children he regularly connects with, even if they are wealthier.

3. no. you can put "with" after connects.
American parents usually think that their child should not have more pocket money than the children whom he regularly connects with, even if they are wealthier.

Dear 星媽,

You were selected for jury duty?

Wow, that makes me think of movies plots.

Is the jury duty process novel to you or dull?

Curious^_*

As for the f--k issue, I think its very common to hear when watching films, particularly in action/ teenagers flicks.

Ha-ha

回覆：
Actually I was selected for jury duty pool first, and then they picked the real jury from the pool. It was a very interesting process of selecting jurors. I will write about it when I have more time. ^^

Yup, that is why I picked that word first to write, also there were a lot of people who didn really understand and know how to use the f-word. I was just hoping people wouldn get too offended by hearing that word. ^^

Actually my husband didnt really want to proofread that essay - too chinglish. He cannot change one word without changing the whole sentence in some parts. For instance, "Also the date will be on July 10th, from 1pm to 5pm." ---dont need on there, or change date to party. Maybe it could be changed to "The party will be on the 10th of July, from 1pm to 5pm."

Since I have the honor (to hold)(change to of holding) our first class reunion, our team, including (me)(change to myself) and (a) few other classmates,have finally decided how this party will go.Firstly,considering that we girls are definitely going to get very wild and noisy, (therefore-dont need therefore) we choose to hold the party at the Cashbox KTV, next to our school rather than (at) a high-class restaurant. As to how the party will go, we have decided (on) several (games )(change to activities), including singing, of course, gift-exchanging, and most importantly, the girl chat. Also the date will be July 10th, from 1pm to 5pm. The reason why we chose this date is that we think you girls might want to have some personal time with your family and friends, therefore we set the date (on) (change to in) mid-July. Thats how our first reunion will go. Remember, its on July 10th, start (change to starting) from 1pm, and don be late. Also dont forget to bring (your little)( change to a small) present.

Still, this is not nearly a perfect version yet. He only made some minor changes, so he wouldnt change the original structure. Here you go:

Sara,
The 英文作文唯一滿分essay actually is not so perfect - there are some small grammar errors. What do you think if I have my husband proofread that essay? For a high school student in Taiwan, she definitely did a pretty good job (not quite sure the grader did a good job, though;). 呵呵 well...dont know how to put it...just hope I am not offending anybody.

回覆：
Sure, thatll be lovely if your hubby would like to proofread.

In fact, the content of English books in Taiwan sometimes include errors.

I hadn noticed that until one day I asked one of my foreign instructors questions from a book, and he pointed out some mistakes from that.

Later, I showed a foreign friend one of my textbooks, and he frankly pointed out some bad English.

One day, I went to a booksotre and browsed a new book, but I found out an obvious error, so that I put away that book.

我也覺得你們老師的作法不錯啊，
每個星期要求你們做這些事情對你們來說都有幫助，
我是覺得英文並不是很難，
只要多看多聽多講久了就熟了，
很多小朋友英文字母a~z可能還背不完，
不然就是簡單的字母拆開都會念，
組告成一個單字時就完蛋了，
他們想得太難了啦。。

Sure, English is not overly difficult,but it requires perseverance for learners to practice it everyday.^_^

Interesting, Kay!
I guess we have a different definition of "successful" than Americans. From what I know, "wedded to a perfect spouse" is not one of the elements in the "Successful" package in Taiwan. Marriage is considered as more of an obstacle than a booster
for a sucessful carrier. You think?
Thanks for the article!

OK 我剛剛問我老公他說可能是 au gratin
我查了一下webster.com
au gratun - French, literally, with the burnt scrapings from the pan
: covered with bread crumbs or grated cheese and browned (as under a broiler)
所以焗烤有英文(法文來的)叫 au gratin
You think? ^_^

Thank you星媽and your hubby!!!

其實我不懂的是"焗"這個字的意思這個字好像是外來語呵
Well, 一般美國人會把一些green bean, or patato, 和cream, cheese放在長方形的烤盤裡烤那叫做Green Bean Casserole, or potato casserole
不知這是不是你要的答案?? :)
從你提供的網頁看來只要是用cheese去烤的都叫做焗烤英文裡似乎沒有這個統稱知道的請不吝提供 ^_^

忘了說你的學英文分享很不錯呢. 尤其是這一段:
"後來強迫自己唸課文，唸到嘴巴好酸，對訓練英文嘴很有用。"

我覺得唸多了,舌頭會比較軟,比較有英文舌頭! :p 英文也比較能唸準一點. 但很麻煩的是, 只要講中文久了, 英文就會退步. 但講或寫英文久了, 中文也會退步... 真慘! @_@ >_<

回覆：
Why can we speak Chinese fluently? We’ve been speaking it for so many years. When we were in primary and high schools, teachers have asked us to read aloud and recite many Chinese articles, no matter on poems, ancient Chinese, and modern articles.

Although now we can’t recite them on the spot, they have influenced our comprehensive abilities on reading Chinese articles, and speaking Chinese.

On the other hand, when we compare English to Chinese, we find out how few we’ve been reading aloud in English, and did we recite any English articles?

A famous English magazine chief has said that one at least has to recite 100 English articles, so that his/her English will absolutely make a great progress.

I feel reciting is a bit hard for adults, so I’ve come up an eclectic idea that one should read an English article for at least 20 times on a daily basis, to train his/her speaking skills.

Yes, I agree with you that when one keeps speaking English, one feels that it’s a bit awkward to speak Chinese, because the ways of speaking these 2 languages are distinct.

BTW, Kay is a very sweet person. May your life be happy!

昨天聽我姐講英文檢定的事, 讓我覺得台灣人瘋了..@_@

我姐說不只是英文老師要過英檢, 連其他科目的老師也要過中級英檢. 要中文老師過英檢??!! 這是什道理呀?? @_@ -_-" 不懂!

回覆：
Yes, this learning English phenomenon has become a craze.

Not only English teachers in public school need to pass GEPT on high-intermediate, but other teachers, the other majors, have to pass GEPT on intermediate.

Besides, the government has announced that the exams of civil servant(公務員)will add an English subject as well. One of my friends initially decided to take a civil servant exam, but after she knew this, she chose to give up.

In fact, Taiwan is an EFL(English as a Foreign Language)environment, not as that of the other countries(ESL), such as Singapore, Philippine, India, and etc.

It is too rare to hear people speaking English in Taiwan, except in the classrooms. Therefore, the new standard government set sounds too high to achieve.

BTW, most people have a myth that English majors must have a good command of English. In fact, many English majors can’t pass GEPT on high-intermediate, yet GEPT institute said English graduates should pass GEPT on advanced level.

給克萊兒和星媽:

英文中的句子分成四種
1. 單句: 一個主詞一個動詞如:Time is money.
2. 合句: 由對等連接詞and or but連接數個對等子句所成的句子如: Hurry up, or youll be late.
3. 複句: 一個主要子句和從屬子句如:
Do you think that money is everything?
whose birthday do you think it is?
do you think 是主要子句
whose birthday it is 是附屬子句
子句跟句子一樣要有主詞和動詞所以上面的do you think 並不會影響whose birthday it is 的be動詞的狀態
4. 複合句: 混合了合句與複句
you might ask me to help you if you like, but i think you had better do it yourself.
if youlike 和 you had better do it yourself 就是附屬子句再由but對等連接起來

這樣說明是否清楚 if not,可以再討論
(真高興能發現如此不錯的英文交流園地)

我又來了~ 又有問題了~

"Whose birthday do you think it is?"

這個應該怎麼解識? "是你認為這是誰的生日嗎?"

同樣的"What do you think the presents are?"

這是否解識為 "你想這個禮物什麼呢?"

為什麼do and is 可以用在同一句裡? 不是有助動詞就沒be動詞有be 就沒助嗎?

回覆：
"Whose birthday do you think it is?"

你認為這是誰的生日呢?

"What do you think the presents are?"

這是否解識為 "你想這個禮物是什麼呢?" -- 沒錯不過也許\\\"這個"改成"這些" 因為presents是複數

Whose birthday do you think it is? 是兩個句子合在一起 Whose birthday do you think 和 it is 因為是兩個句子合在一起所以do和 is可以放在一起
What do you think the presents are? 是同樣的道理 What do you think 和 the presents are兩個句子合在一起這種句子應該叫"複合句"吧? 我也忘了記得的提醒一下囉 ^_^

it is 和the presents are叫做"子句" 附在母句裡我想起來了好像叫做"附合句"
複合句則是兩個"對等"的句子合在一起應該是這樣知道的請指教 ^_^

Dear Angie,

I just read the message you left quite some time ago. I am sorry that I replied so late.

My dad and some family are coming here in June for a visit. So we are not able to make it to AZ this summer.

If I get a chance to visit, would you still be interested in showing us around or at least meeting us for lunch or something? It would be nice.

Again, I apologize for the delay of response. It was very nice of you to have thought about us visiting.

I hope everything is well with you.

-S.

回覆：
Hello Sonia,
Glad to hear that some of your family members are coming to see you. You must be very excited waiting to see them here in the States.
Sure, I will show you around if time allows, we will at least meet for lunch though. ^^
Cyra and I are going to Taiwan on the 6th of June. We will be gone for more than a month. I am very excited about the trip - because we are going to Japan too. Yay!
Talk to you sometime,
Bye now,
Angie

是這樣哦~可是那句中文翻譯是他常常炫耀自己那不是指炫耀everyting嗎?

所以說如果我要說某人愛現愛誇耀的話是用show off, right?

我現在在背單字我又碰到一個字是我在生活中碰到的常常搞不清楚

other , the other, another

這三種不都一樣嗎? 可以隨便用一個嗎?

因為我上次跟死小孩的媽說:請她早點跟安媽媽預約打掃時間這樣安媽媽才能計劃掃另一個房子

當時我是用:the other

結果死小孩的媽一直以為我是指隔璧的房子搞了半天她懂了她就說一句: oh..another house(不知要不要加s ?)

再問: "兩個星期掃一次房子" 應該怎麼說? 因為安媽媽說的跟安東尼說的好像不一樣我不懂安媽媽說的><

回覆：
當你說the other時是指某"特定"的另外一間房子
another house就指"任何"一間房子沒特定哪一間
other則用在every other week; every other day, every other house 意思是"每兩週/天/間房子"

"兩個星期掃一次房子"
I go clean houses every other week. 或則
I go clean houses once every two weeks.

Well, 我看你就用show off就好了不要用sport 那句真的沒聽過呵
