Aaron and the Princess

  Aaron and the Princess
One day, Aaron went to a costume party, and met a girl who dressed up into a princess. At the party, Aaron really loved this girl very much, so he asked for her address and telephone number. After the party, Aaron went to the girl’s home. He got his guitar and started to sing. But he sang so loudly at night, the neighbors woke up and started to argue at Aaron. Aaron was so shocked! He realized the address was wrong, so he went home sadly. After he walked home, some people gave him a surprise! He saw all the people in the costume party, and also saw the princess! They celebrated another party, and everyone played happily. Aaron also danced with the princess, and went home with the princess! Aaron was happy today, because he found his own girlfriend.

1000127 Electronic Cars

Electronic Cars
By Max
     I wonder what things can be better by electronic power. Like cars and motorcycles, I think the gasoline inside it makes the environment worse. We should find some vicariousness energy to use in some cars and motorcycles, and also other things.
     This year, I went to a winter camp that we can build electronic cars, and also, it is a green source that we could use. At this camp, we learned about some things in our electronic car set. Like we learned some racing wheels, gears, and some other stuff that we need to use. Not only had we learned about cars, we also learned some green energy that can generate electricity. Like using wind, water, sun power, and using tides and hydrogen can generate electricity. I saw Christmas trees made of solar energy boards, some wind generators, and also saw a train that can use hydrogen to move! And the teacher told use about hydrogen cars. They use hydrogen to move, and this kind of cars doesn’t cause air pollution.
     Most of the time in winter camp, we build electronic cars. We first build some easy cars, like the basic car, the three-wheel car, and the antique car. After we built the whole car, we use our remote controllers to play it. The first car we built only goes front and back, so I think it’s bad. Later, our cars can turn left and right and also push and lift things by building the bulldozer. But the bad part is, at the first day we build electronic cars; we always build the car, test it for a few minutes, and “demolish” it to build another car. At the second day, after we built the bulldozer, we have a race. At the first race, we need to drive the car to a place, and use the car to push the bottle to the finish. Some people think it’s impossible, but some people made it easily all the way. I was at the middle at the score, so I don’t think it’s good. At the second one, we drive the car to the finish line and answer some questions to win. At the end of the winter camp, I think the camp is fun, so maybe I can join it again.
     I think electronic cars are so good, and I wish to make it real in future life. Now I can play my electronic cars all day, and have fun playing with it!

1000122 Year of the “Floral” Rabbit

Year of the “Floral” Rabbit
By Max
     In Taiwan and some other Asian countries, there is a festival called the lantern festival. Before, when people are celebrating lantern festival, they probably will use some traditional lanterns and stuffed dumplings to celebrate the festival, but now we use some big and colorful lanterns, made of steel wires and a big piece of cloth, and also many big lights to make it shiny. And we use some dumplings stuffed with sweet or salty fillings, we all like it! From the day of the lantern festival, there would be many places that we could see those big lanterns. Also, Kaohsiung’s lantern festival has a lantern competition. At lantern festival, they would put all of the lanterns that are in the competition in lantern festival to let the visitors see them.
     At the day of the lantern festival, there would be many tourists that see the lanterns. So it is so crowded, and that we should protect our safety, and have fun on this festival!

1000107 Bicycling Around Taiwan

Bicycling Around Taiwan
By Max
     Taiwan is a very beautiful place in Asia, since hundreds of years ago, the Portuguese found Taiwan, and because it is a beautiful island, they call it Formosa, which is Taiwan’s old name, and drew it on their maps. Taiwan is a beautiful island, but our island also has a lot of problems. Like Taiwan’s earthquakes are usually big, and frequently, because the island is on two plate tectonics, so it does that frequently. And the population density in Taiwan is over an enormous 600 people per square mile! And, global warming is continuing, so some people like to ride bikes. Maybe some bike riders only concentrate on their bike speed, or some people like to ride slowly, and cycle around Taiwan. Some people like to concentrate both speed and ride long courses. In long rides, you need proper planning, and practice a few weeks too. In conclusion, biking is a good sport, and a healthy activity and hobby too, no matter what way you ride your bike.
