Community College - Monday Class

The "Free Response" on page 97

1. "Americans are very friendly."

Well, I think most of the people I've met here are friendly. No matter what races they are. Some of the students think that some of the foreigners are racialists. But what I think is we Taiwanese have racism.

2. "You need friends more than money."

I agree with that. But I have to say that money is also important. Sometimes, when you don't have money, your friends will leave you, too.

3. "Most people like their jobs."

According to the survey we did in class, only very few of them like their jobs. Most of the people work just for a living. They don't like what they are doing currently; and some of them think that they are not put in the right position. Luckliy, I am the one who enjoys my job. Teaching for me is not only a job, but it's also my career.
"There is always a choice about the way you do your work; even there is no choice about the work itself."

4. Candy is good for you."

I disagree with that. Candy will cause you cavity, over-weight, and other problems due to over-weight.

5. "English is easy."

I agree with that. Honestly speaking, everything is easy if you are interested in it. Once you start learning it, never give it up. You will find that it is easy for you.

6. "Most TV programs are boring."

I agree with that. I think that is because of the cable we have. We can adopt whatever we want to watch 24/7. Therefore, everything is boring if you watch it all the time. Especially news.

7. "Homework is fun."

Well, I am the teacher, what else can I say. Yes, I think homework is fun.

8. "Public transportation is terrible."

I disagree with it. I think it depends on different cities. In TPE, it is convenient to take public transportation to go wherever you want to go. The signs are easy to read and to understand. But in Taoyuan, it's not really that convenient; or maybe I just don't take it since I have my own transportation there.

9. "Most teenagers are good drivers."

I think it depends on different people. However, teenagers under 18 are banned to drive or ride.
