A Nine-hour School? [ Alice Hou 侯亞瑄 ]

A Nine-hour School?
http://www.cenewsblog.com/debates/2008/02/a-nine-hour-sch.html

I am a Taiwanese student. And I am a nine-hour school student. I go to school by bus at six-thirty in the morning, and back home at five- thirty PM. During the day, I have eight classes and ten-minute break after each class. Actually, I don't like my school schedule. It's because after so many classes, I think a lot of us become tired, even there is a forty-minute noon sleep. But if there were some class about what you say, like songwriting and photography, I think it is better! In Taiwan, all we have is only Math, Geography, P.E class, such like that; we don't have the interesting elective class! Oh, I wish I could have the class to practice my skill in my interest! Anyways, the school schedule should depend on what students are willing to, so students won't hate school and start thinking that going school to learn is a wonderful thing! 

Oh, what I trying to say is that: If a school decides to have nine-hour school that long, it should arrange some fun, interesting classes at least two to three hours in that nine hours, to get students' attentions.

Prince Harry Goes to War by zoe唐

I consider that Prince Harry is really bravery and kindness. Commissar his people, didn't want them to be harm by the enemies. He didn't want the people die for the wars, he try to inspire and replace them. This act should buck the solider and the people in the country. I think he will be a goodness king in the feature, trying to avoid wars. However, I consider a prince of a country is a brain, he shouldn't join the war. This act can't retrieval lift that the solders who really died. What a prince can do the best thing for his people is concoct good idea to avoid the wars, just like what a father can do the best thing for his children is love their mother. I consider that Prince Harry shouldn't join this war, because it is a little imprudently.

Prince Harry Goes to War-tom mao

I think that Prince Harry has lofty sentiment. It was because he did not afraid of die. He loves his country. And he wants to do his patriotic duty. He want to fire for his country. It is admirable I think. If I were the soldier beside of Prince Harry, I will do my best on the battlefield. If Prince Harry has been catch, I could not imagine what will happen next. But I still think that this movement will have good act on the soldier.

Studying in a Nine-hour school -Jenny Chuang 莊佳穎

I think studying in a nine-hour school both have advantage and disadvantage. We don't know weather the students can absorb knowledge which they should learn or not. Maybe some students can absorb but some can not. It is unfair to the students who can not absorb it. A nine-hour school is too long for the students. They will be very tired to study a long time. It also maybe has a lot of homework one day. Some students will do them to stay up late. And they do not have enough energy to learn the next day. Step by step, students can not get knowledge in the classes. They should learn by themselves. We do not have confident of success to learn by them. The other advantage is that students can have more time to learn what they can not learn at home, such as social intercourse or group energy. And also some students do not study at home, maybe it is a restrain to students.

Prince Harry Goes to War - Rebecca

Prince Harry is very cool and brave. He is the third line to British's throne. If I am a person to throne, I will not go to the war even if some people compel me. But he said he wanted to do his patriotic duty as any other soldier would. Oh! I think this spirit is very awesomely. War is very dangerous. War will make many families getting broken. But there still many countries have a war, such as Afghanistan. I hope that every country can peace in the future. The world will become very beautiful. We need to live together very friendly.

Bam! Military Missile Hits Rogue Satellite by Lisa Lin

   I think it was a good idea to shoot down the satellite. If I were in charge, I will do it, too. On account of, it was good to people. If we didn't shout it down, it will threaten people's life and safe. On account of, someday it will fall down. Moreover, we don't know where it will fall over, maybe it will hit people or other damage. Also, the scientists will worry about it. Owing to they don't know when it will happen. Although, it will has debris like football. It won't threaten people. We know where it will fall over, and we can control it. Therefore, we can make the damage lowest. Then people will not be hurt or even die. It is an important problem. Therefore, we should do it carefully. We can't do it casual. The government ought to do it seriously, too. We need to attach the problem. I hope we can do it well.

Snakes on a Plane? by Kelly

Wow! He carried thirty dead snakes? How strange the man was! I wonder why he did that. I don't like snakes, and even afraid of it. I still remember that when I went to my Junior High School, the teachers told us do not run fast while we see it. "You should stand still until the snake went away." said he. Although he told us that it is the safest way when you meet a snake, I still can't do it! Because I am so scared that I could not help running.

Back to the article, it said he also had a dead bird and bird parts. So, if he wasn't the doctor or research, I think he should go to a psychiatrist.

Prince Harry Goes to War by Teddy.S1F.26號

When I see that Prince Harry would go to the Afghanistan to be a soldier .I assists him to do this. Because protect country is every one in the country duty. Although what he does is right, this is danger. A prince to be a soldier in the war is danger; he would be a evident targeted for attack. Maybe the life in the army is different to what he image. He would be disappointed. If I were him I would not choice to be a solider because I afraid the death. I have many thing to do such as travel all the world .although he is little apish, I still admire his brave.   

Prince Harry Go to War by Eric Ro

It is difficult for a prince to become a soldier in Afghanistan. If I were a prince, I would not deploy to Afghanistan. He would become the target and lose his life. Afghanistan, as we knew, is dangerous. And a prince would go there; it is not a good idea, especially an antagonistic prince. But it is possible that the prince want to challenge himself. He doesn't like people to see him like a baby, a rich baby. I think he is very patriotic that he ignores his precious life. And we know if your relative died, you may be disappointed. Therefore, he must see his life a treasure, but I know he know this, so he have a good decision.

Homeless in Paradise: Venice, California by Chandler huang

Homeless…what an awful nouns. In our country also has a lot of homeless people, they sleep in front of train station, even the school bus station that I go everyday morning. Every time I wait at school bus station, I just afraid what will he do? Will he do something hurt? All I wish at that moment is please school bus coming quickly. And I want to know why don't these homeless people go to find job to work? If they failed, just try and try. Every people don't success for first time. They need to experience some failed. Or they just give up there life? It is very depressed. People take drugs led them to poor. It is very sad. Because what did drugs bring to you? NOTHING!!!!I think government may build something that let homeless people work. And give them food and place to live. That may solve problem.

Blast From the Past [JANE]

It will be really amazing to receive an old mail. And I'm really curious that why the letter would be received so late, also, who is the guy that sent this mail? Maybe the mailman in 1929 didn't see this letter, and after 79 years another mailman saw the letter. Ha ha ha, I think that's impossible, but it really strange. If I received the mail, I would go find out the guy who sent it to me. Also I would show this letter to my family, it is not common to experience this. Actually, I won't be glad to received am old letter. It's a big mistake of post office. I think the post office should apologize to the woman!

What does Harry go to Afghanistan for? by Owen Lin

What does Harry go to Afghanistan for? Why the Britain government agreed that? Is that about the oil source ? I don't know.

To the third paragraph," Harry had said he wanted to do his patriotic duty as any other soldier would, ", is the war between Britain and Afghanistan ?

Inferring it as a war for the oil problem, I think it is really a big problem. Will people kill each other when the oil run out, as we know, fossil fuel is the main source of the energy we use, especially oil. The energy will reduce immediately if the oil runs out.

Certainly ,The prince is brave enough, I think it will be a unique experience he ever meet.     

Disney Magic comes with Dangers by Tina Hoo

I have never been to Disney, but there must be very fun. There are many good equipments in it .If you don't take care, you will be in danger！ There are many dangers behind fun and laugh. There are also many accidents in Taiwan's theme parks. Every year, many people are getting hurt or even death. I think the boss of the theme park must be accountable. Because, if people got hurt that mean your safety is not doing very well. You make people in danger. But parents should also take good care to your kids, because kids all like to run around. So that people in the park would play happily and safely. And people will come here next time. It would bring much money to the park.
