SAT MATH 2 TEST

Dwight Morrow High School


美麗的校園




學校的鐘樓

運動場


足球場

不知哪裡來的雁鴨

在草地上覓食
兒子在這所學校考 SAT Subject MATH2Test, 這所學校其實離我們住的公寓大約只要十分鐘車程, 但從來不曾往這方向來, 這麼美麗英倫風的公立高中, 占地比孩子的學校還大, 光是戶外的運動場就有兩座, 還有一座室內的體育館, Englewood 的房屋稅這麼的高, 如果是好好利用在這些弱勢族群的教育上, 我想納稅人一定很樂意才是, 希望這些孩子們能珍惜這些社會資源, 也能夠因為得到好的教育而改變自己的人生

N.Y. 風和食教室


Mrs. Nobuko Shimazaki 開設的日式和食教室
餐前開胃小菜

味增湯底煨煮出的簡單食材

滿肚子卵的"喜香麼"

叉燒肉, 鯊魚醃, 花枝

鱈魚丸子

吻仔魚飯
Nobuko 老師在家教授日式料理, 簡單輕食, 很有媽媽的味道, 除了教授和風手藝, 也接受訂餐聚會, 很隨性就在自家的餐廳用餐, 整片的玻璃落地窗, 屋外的樹林鬱鬱蒼蒼, 烏鴉群聚樹頭, 幾個好友談談天, 這一餐飯真是別有情緻

Englewood Library Student Newsletter

     
Englewood Library Student Newsletter
在 Englewood Library 上英文課已經一年了, 負責 ESL 課的老師 請我寫一篇我來美國的原因與心得, 這篇文章被刊登在 十一月份的 Literacy Volunteers Englewood Library Student Newsletter 內容如下:


                                          The Sacrifice of Life
I come from Taiwan. It is a tropical island in East Asia, also known as “Formosa”.  I accompanied my children to America to take care of their daily life and support them in their studies. It has always been their goal to study in America. They are attending high school and will apply to American College in the future. They are attracted by the new challenges and the opportunities to experience different cultures and further broaden their horizons.
I am pleased to have the opportunity to participate in the Englewood Public Library ESL class. My goal is to improve my communication in the English language. I especially thank my one on one tutor Ms. Jeanette Anari and group class tutor Ms. Donna Campos, because they are so enthusiastic to teach. It has been two years since I arrived in the USA. I am getting more at ease speaking English.
Thanks to modern technology, my children and I communicate with our family members in Taiwan.

Endured sacrifices, short term tasks, will become more smooth and the final outcome of sacrifice is valuable.
