CALL S2 Week 6

Hello everyone,

Today, you're going to write about your favorite restaurant, and what you like to eat there. post everything on your blog and send the link for your blog to T. Sunny - shinminsunny@gmail.com


These are the things you need to write on your blog:

1. What is the name and location of the restaurant.
2. What do you usually order for the starter, main course, dessert, and drink. (Include a picture for each thing.)
3. Why do you like going to this restaurant?

Example:

My favorite restaurant is called "Chili's" I usually go there about twice a month with my family. It is in Tiger City on the second floor. The kind of food there is called "Tex-Mex". It's really delicious.

For the starter, we will usually order a Southwestern Eggrolls.

Then for the main course, I like to order the Buffalo Chicken Ranch Sandwich.

For the dessert, we like to order a Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie to share. 

I always order an iced tea to drink with my meal.

I really love Chili's because I think the food is great, and the restaurant is big and comfortable. The service is always very good, and it reminds me of the restaurants we usually go to when we are in California.

 Hello class!


Today we are going to be doing "coding". Go to this Hour of Code and choose a game to "code". 


On your blog, share a screencap of the last screen of your game, and write one paragraph on what you think of this game and writing the code for it. Your paragraph should look like this:


In Hour of Code, I chose the game Star Wars to code. For me, it started off pretty easy, but got harder in the last part of the game. It was really fun doing this game. I learned that coding is not easy, and it is actually its own language. If I have the chance, I hope to be able to do it more in the future.

CALL Week 19

 

Hello class,

Today you are going to make a post on your blog about your favorite shopping mall, movie theater, restaurant, or park. Give three reasons why you like this place. Write 4 paragraphs like the example below. Then give a link to the location of your place from Google Maps. 

My Favorite Movie Theater




https://goo.gl/maps/viPh5Q5RmEw

My favorite movie theater in Taichung is "Showtime Plaza".  It is near the train station inside a shopping mall. I like this movie theater for three reasons. First, it is in a convenient location. Second, there are a lot of things to do in the shopping mall. Lastly, it is new and clean.

Showtime Plaza is very convenient because it is near the train station. There are many buses that stop there, and it's not in a high traffic area.

Showtime Plaza is in shopping mall, so there are a lot of shops and restaurants to go to either before or after the movie.

Showtime Plaza was just recently built, so the theaters are big with nice seats, and everything is new and clean. It's a great place to watch movies because they always play the latest movies.

Here is the map link: https://goo.gl/maps/5MGTT8JzAXjW2Ro27

After you have sent the link of your blog to T. Sunny, complete the following things:

1. Please go to Highlights and do the new assigned readings. 

2. For Typing Club, you should finish to Lesson 200 today. 

3. For Oxford Discover Continuing working on Unit 5 this week.
