Three Curricular Reasons Why Japanese People Can’t Speak English

1. Inadequate reinforcement of the lessons.  It’s not that the grammar-translation method doesn’t work, it’s that it’s not backed up by something more.  School students get a lesson once a week if they’re lucky, for less than an hour.  That lesson explains grammar and introduces vocabulary.  And then . . . whooosh, you might as well send them to Siberia.  Japanese kids have tons of words and a smattering of grammar, but no examples of how to use the stuff in action.  They need reinforcement:  real-world materials showing the variety of ways in which words are actually used.  There’s no reading program, no opportunities for conversation or presentation, no schedule for watching movies.  The grammar explanation isn’t the problem.  It’s that it isn’t rounded out with further study.

2. Classroom control. Now, if you’re a teacher, you can probably relate to this.  Traditional, lecture-centric teaching requires everyone to shut up and pay attention to you.  It’s just that there’s a fine line between classroom control and turning your class into a mini prison.  Shut everyone up too much and you can’t restart them.

Lincoln was born in Hodgenville, Kentucky on Feb 12, 1809. Raised by poor parents, he received less than a year of formal education by the time he reached the age of 21. His primary means of education was schooling at home, using borrowed books and the Bible.

At the age of 22, he moved to the Illinois village of New Salem in 1831, and continued his self-education by borrowing books and teaching himself subjects such as grammar, history, mathematics, and law. He worked as a store clerk in two different general stores. He taught himself surveying, and worked part time at this vocation. He was also appointed postmaster, and served in the militia for 3 months during the Black Hawk war.

The modern Olympic Games or Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques^[1]) are the leading international sporting event featuring summer and winter sports competitions in which thousands of athletes from around the world participate in a variety of competitions. The Olympic Games are considered to be the world's foremost sports competition with more than 200 nations participating.^[2]The Olympic Games are held every four years, with the Summer and Winter Games alternating by occurring every four years but two years apart.

Their creation was inspired by the ancient Olympic Games, which were held inOlympia, Greece, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894. The IOC is the governing body of the Olympic Movement, with the Olympic Charterdefining its structure and authority.

出生於臺南僻靜小鄉村的藝術創作者鄭新卯，孩提時就常喜歡胡亂塗抹，獨自沉浸在繽紛的色彩裡。因為生於務農家庭，直到就讀長榮美工科時受教於蕭祖銘老師，才算真正啟蒙鄭新卯內在的藝術美學種子。12月2日至12月17日在文化部所屬國立臺南生活美學館辦理第3次個展，以<一個人的旅行>為主題，藉由山的形與色、明與暗抒發個人的領悟，再加上平日生活中的所見所聞化做創作符號，希望藉由此次展出，分享並記錄自己的成長過程。

熱愛繪畫的鄭新卯，與多位畫壇名師學習不同繪畫技法，內化成為個人獨特風格；他與臺南大學朱紋皆教授學習油畫，爾後進入專科學校並受教於謝坤鑠與蔡雪貞兩位老師學習素描、油畫等繪畫技法；102年進入國立屏東教育大學視覺藝術系研究所，從張繼文老師學習版畫與水墨、陳燕如老師學習素描與藝用多媒材，追隨不同的老師看見不同的風格與內涵，研習理論與技法實務，進而感受更豐富的新媒材與色彩觀念。

「仁者樂水，智者樂山」，平日喜歡登山的鄭新卯，在山中獨處時常能讓思緒更清晰，領略屬於山的美麗與沉靜，此次<一個人的旅行>個展，以藝術創作呈現鄭新卯的生活感受，歡迎各界踴躍參觀！

How to Enjoy the Deliciousness of Fruits！

Date：2009-12-31

 Taiwan produces a great variety of such delicious fruits throughout the year as strawberry and pineapple in spring, mango and watermelon in summer, pomelo and carambola in autumn, or jujube and wax apple in winter. These fruits are so delicious that foreigners are reluctant to leave the county after tasting them. And just like top red wine, you can enjoy the elegant aroma, color and aftertaste of Taiwanese fruits.

Chances are if you've traveled to Taiwan, it's been on business. And there's a very good chance that you've hurried in and out of Taipei as fast as your business allowed. At least this was true for me until Michael, a Taiwanese business associate, invited me to his son's wedding and to join him and his wife May on a trip to see more of their country. My week in Taiwan was so enriching that I was moved to share the top reasons why you are depriving yourself of an unforgettable travel and cultural experience if you don't take time to see more of this fabulous island the next time your business takes you to Taiwan.

Don't try to innovate for the future. Innovate for the present.
