Letter 7 - HaLlOWeEn + study question

What am I doing on Halloween

  Well... all the things got complicated, cause before we're planning to go to an elementary school and give out some candies to the children there, whereas the teacher who can arrange this for us is not willing to arrange this activity (she said the last year we went),so unfortunately, we'll be staying in school the whole time on Halloween.
   But we still want our Halloween to be special so we planned to share candies in class and perhaps go around the campus and share some with others.
   I'm wearing my mask (the one I painted) to our candy party.

Letter 6 - Unique Bubbles + Into The Woods + Q

Unique Bubbles

  Have you ever had this kind of bubble tea with "the white jade bubbles"? You should try this if you haven't, they tasted better than the normal bubbles. Cause it's not only chewier but also sweeter than the black ones. (but not over sweetened) Actually, I hate drinking bubble tea, because I think the black bubbles are hard to chew and swallowing it feels weird, whereas the white bubbles taste so good at everything, and chewing on it just got me so addicted.



Into The Woods

  We're thinking about the STORY CONTEST that will be held in December and our yearly presentation since we went to TAS. Then we came up with an idea of presenting an opera, and our drama teacher said maybe we can  present "Into the woods", then Hugo started to sing the songs in it every day, and got me addicted to the song, I've seen the movie twice before and I really like it.(I'm listening to this now "Into the woods")

  And I've tried to sing the song, the characters that fits my voice are Cinderella and the baker's wife. Before I was thinking about being the witch inside (I love being a villain), but her can't do the "villain laugh" and a small part of her song, I can sing the most part of them, but not the part with a lot of vegetable.


study questions

1. Why would the citizens of Tempe think that they lived in a civilized society?
     Cause they thought that having all those facilities they have is being civilizing. They have all kinds of infrastructures and facilities, such as indoor running water and plumbing, paved streets, electrical power, and respected schools.
2. Why would they be wrong?
     Because they were satisfied with only the over sweetened dessert drinks that being called "Starbuck coffee".
3. What’s still missing, that keeps them from being completely civilized?
     They need some "Tea and Juice shops", like Da yung's.
4.Bonus question for Asian readers:  There is “pearl tea”, “boba tea”, and “bubble tea”.  Are those just different names for the same thing, or are they different.?  How are they different?
     I think they are basically the same, they all refer to tea with chewy tapioca balls inside.

Letter 5 - A postponed blessing + + Q&A

Study Questions Part

1. When is the “Moon Festival” celebrated? Give the date according to the traditional Chinese calendar, and a more reasonable date for calculating the date.

  It's on the "15th day of the 8th month" on the lunar calendar. And in other words, it's the day of the first full moon after the autumn equinox.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! YEE~
