Cooking Lessons

I was doing nothing at the office and Jojoh invited me to go to her classroom. They were doing cooking lessons for J2F. All the girls prepared wonderful job, they were cutting, they were sharing and they were eating. The most important, they were all prepared. For this kind of lessons, students never forget what to bring. They will be in the classroom on time, but during normal class time, they were all late and they know how to find excuses for it.

After I say bye to them, Kitty, my ex-student gave me breakfast. She gave me sandwiches and other group gave me Mexican roll. I really enjoyed eating their food. Thanks Kitty for giving your lovely, delicious sandwich.

• It is delicious food

After introducing dishes, descriptions, preparing and opinions, I decided to make them to prepare a dish from these five countries. Here is the lesson.

The lesson:
I divide my 55 students into 10 groups which turned out 5 to 6 people in one group. We have two groups of Japanese food, two of Chinese food, two of Mexican food, two of Italian food, and two of American food.

Each group has to bring ingredients and things to use fro the lesson. They cannot use fire or pan for cooking. They must cooked it at home and bring it to school. All the vegetables have to be washed and cut it. When they come to school, they need to prepare it at school in front of teacher to see.

During their preparation, teacher will walk around the room and see which group have finished preparing their foods. Once that group is ready, the teacher will bring their foods to the teacher's table for display. After preparation, each group has to stop and come up to the front of the classroom and introduce their foods the entire class. They have to tell their ingredients and how they prepared it.

The rule:
Two groups of Chinese food cannot prepare the same dish and other Chinese group. Everyone should have a group, nobody will left out.

My girls can have entire class hour for discussions. I did not think this kind of discussion can take for a long time. I made them to write and to draw their dishes, I gave each group a piece of paper.

During the discussion, they seemed they enjoyed this kind of lesson, they are all excited about it. I just hope they won't forget what they are going to bring. Also, I will prepare one dish for them to eat!

Cooking Lesson, J2I

Today, I combine classes with Christine, my co-worker. Our class was fun but they were too noisy. Parents from new students came to the school and got register for their daughters, maybe they will ask to themselves, what happen to this class.

Even they are making a lot of noise, they could do a great job preparing five different countries' food. We have Japanese, Chinese, American, Mexican and Italian food. All these five countries food are part of our lesson.

After a while, Christine and I really enjoyed it. Students were giving us a lot of food, they prepared with their own efforts. Each group were so different, and unique. After preparation, we made each group to come to the front of the classroom and present their food. The presentation was great and I really enjoyed. Some groups did a great job and some did not even care.

Cooking Lesson, J2C

With my J2C, it is another noisy class. Students over there are more active, they know what they want. They have very good thinking process. They also made wonderful dishes. We also have five country's food. Each group did amazing job in the class. Even our school is not allow us to use fire in the classroom, we could create wonderful by hands.

Cooking Lessons, J2E

J2E is a little bit quiet class, but when their entire class are all together, they are very noisy, too. This class is quiet amazing. I learned from other classes, that they have to present their food before they put into their stomach. With this class, I am more strict, students were hungry and they all really want to eat as soon as possible, They listen very well to each presentation. They applaud very loudly, it seems they enjoyed their classmate's presentation.

After their presentation, when I say they could eat, everyone ate and everyone shared with their classmates. I like the sharing part, it is like little J2E family at school. They treat each other like their own sisters. I really enjoyed that part.

Cooking Lesson, J2D

I really enjoyed to be with J2D. They are politer and well mannered class. Also, they cook or prepared their food very carefully. I really enjoyed the moment and see how they were presenting their foods.

They went to wash hands first, and after that, they were all getting together and started to cook. However, it was hard for me to set this class at the beginning of the class hour. After setting them down, I gave my policies and they listen well, they did not started to eat at the beginning.

After preparing their food, I asked each group to do their presentations. Each of them did a great job, even I had to listen for 10 different groups' presentation. Each group is very unique. Also, the way that each group prepared is also unique, too. I really enjoyed to be with them.

Cooking Lesson, J2J

J2J class is very rude when they treat their teachers, but working in groups this class is stronger. I don't really like to teach this group because they were all unrespectful to me at the begining of the school year, I went to talk to their homeroom teacher, and since then, they did not like me.

Also, this class did a great job preparing food. It seems all the classes did a great job preparing food for themselves and their friends. In terms of Italian food, all the groups from all the classes prepared spaguetti. This dish is quiet commom between classes.

It was easy to control them while they were preparing their food. I like to see them working in groups and collaborate with each other. After that, they did a presentation. One students from my TA's group did a great job presenting their food. She spoke wonderful English with clear pronounciation. Other groups did not even care about this activity.

At the Beginning, Anastasia

Tomorrow is Saturday, we have classes here in Taiwan. We are making up the class for Friday last week which was National Holiday (Sweeping Day) in Taiwan. Since Saturday class, nobody will pay attention to me, I decided to teach them a song. This week, in our book mentioned Anastasia, the Disney movie. I am going to teach them a song from this movie. Also, they can see video clips of it. When I mentioned Anastasia to them, they did not know what I am talking about. So, I think this is a great opportunity for them to see and learn more English.

At the Beginning Lyrics:
We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start

Life is a road
AndI want to keep going
Love is a riverI wanna keep flowing
Life is a roadNow and forever
Wonderful journeyI'll be there
When the world stops turning

I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Never dreaming
How our dreams would come true
Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a riverI wanna keep flowing

Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning

I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a riverI wanna keep flowing
Life is a roadNow and forever
Wonderful journey
I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on....Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna going
Love is river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you.

What is Easter?

On Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate the resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. It is typically the most well-attended Sunday service of the year for Christian churches.

Christians believe according to Scripture, that Jesus came back to life, or was raised from the dead, three days after his death on the cross. As part of the Easter season, the death of Jesus Christ by crucifixion, is commemorated on Good Friday, always the Friday just before Easter. Through his death, burial and resurrection, Jesus paid the penalty for sin, thus purchasing for all who believe in Him, eternal life in Christ Jesus.
In Western Christianity, Easter marks the ending of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting, repentance, moderation and spiritual discipline in preparation for Easter. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter Sunday.

Eastern Orthodox churches observe Lent or Great Lent, during the 6 weeks or 40 days preceding Palm Sunday with fasting continuing during the Holy Week of Easter. Lent for Eastern Orthodox churches begins on Monday and Ash Wednesday is not observed.

Because of Easter's pagan origins, and also because of the commercialization of Easter, many Christian churches have begun to refer to it as Resurrection Day.

The biblical account of Jesus' death on the cross, or crucifixion, his burial and his resurrection, or raising from the dead, can be found in the following passages of Scripture: Matthew 27:27-28:8; Mark 15:16-16:19; Luke 23:26-24:35; and John 19:16-20:30. Easter is always celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox.

Easter Celebration 2007 at Sheng-Kung

Today, God's Sheep came to our school, Sheng- Kung. The God's Sheep which is called (羔羊) in Chinese has a good meaning behind it. This group is compound of 4 people. One handsome man and three beautiful ladies. The man is the priest of the church with his wife and two sisters created this group. All of them are very good at singing Christians songs.

The priest is amazing because he is not who create songs but also he plays the piano and sings at the same time. Most of his songs are ROCK、DISCO、CHACHA、RUMBA, all of the songs are so great, it can be fit for all ages. I really like this group and I really enjoyed their performance today.

One of the songs:

耶穌愛我
　一陣響徹天際的歌聲　頌讚人間的傳奇
　主耶穌從尊貴天降生　只因為愛我　祂真愛我

　一條艱難坎坷的道路　記錄千年的故事
　主耶穌在人世間受苦　只因為愛我　祂真愛我

　耶穌愛我　深知我所有的軟弱
　祂曾無止無盡的忍受　生命最深最重的苦和痛　耶穌愛我　祂真愛我
　耶穌愛我　赦免我一切的過錯
　祂降生　祂受苦　祂復活　祂以完全的愛來愛我　耶穌愛我　祂真愛我

　一片充滿榮光的天空　宣揚天上的尊榮
　主耶穌完成救贖大工
　只因為愛我　祂真愛我　耶穌愛我

Meaning of the song

　在我讀聖經的時候，經文常常是有畫面的，可能是自己學的是美術，也可能是小時候上主日學的關係。所以每次讀四福音時，腦中就像演電影一樣，一幕又一幕，上演著耶穌的生平。這首歌的三段主歌分別用『一』字開頭，帶出三個畫面，就是耶穌降生、受難和復活升天。
　為這一首歌譜曲，可不是一件容易的事。史上的音樂大師為耶穌生平創作，上述這些題材是必須分開寫的，因為裡頭包含歡慶、苦傷與尊榮，如何作曲才能把這些情境都表現得體，確實有夠傷腦筋！

　老實說，事隔二年多，那時我是如何完成這一首歌，我也不記得了，只記得那時讀經多、感動多、歌也寫得多，天天沈醉在用寫歌來愛主的美好之中。但令我印象深刻的是，羔羊樂團二年來在節慶中用這首歌在各處作佈道演唱，效果奇佳，即使在非基督徒的群體中，高唱『耶穌愛我』，仍贏得觀眾熱情的掌聲！掌聲之中，我們將榮耀歸於主！
　我個人長期以來不斷推動福音詩歌創作，特別是在曲風上，我大膽運用ROCK、DISCO、CHACHA、RUMBA等這些在教會中少用的音樂型式，希望這些音樂能進入人群，讓社會大眾透過歌曲聽到福音的內容。

　某天去夜市買燒烤，老板娘認出我來，說她帶孩子去美術館散步，聽到我們唱歌。她說她們沒有喝咖啡的習慣，但一聽到我們唱歌，忍不住就坐了下來，一坐就是一個多小時，她說，我們的歌通俗好聽，朗朗上口，她和小孩都很喜歡，她還說，她們家的小朋友把我們教唱的幾句一邊唱還一邊跳恰恰呢！

　這首歌我用了ROCK來作曲，因為不管是聖誕、受難或升天，讓我感受到的情感都是濃烈的，耶穌生平的一幕一幕，我無法輕描淡寫，我聽到的貝斯是重低音、鼓是重金屬，我也聽到群眾中迴響著一次又一次的echo：『耶穌愛我～耶穌愛我～』

　今年的聖誕節又即將來臨，我們也將透過『羔羊分享會』到教會分享這些詩歌，但願這些詩歌可以祝福更多人，將大喜的信息傳報給世人！

If you have an opportunity, you can hire this group and play at your school. They are great, I like them and their songs a lot!

活得更美

I found this song on the Internet. This was the open ceremony song that this group came to my school today. I really like this song.

活得更美 (Life is Wonderful)

　年輕～使我生命無盡的奔放　熱情～讓我燃燒自己照亮這世界
　健康～使我活出自信的喜悅　希望～讓我追逐目標充滿光和熱
　Open my eyes, 使我能夠看見你的世界
　Light up my way, 讓我看得更深走得更遠
　Stand by my side, 請你請你走進我的世界
　Praise my Lord, 讓我生命被感動活得更美　

Meaning

　當發現自己不再那麼年輕，當自己開始覺得年輕真好時，往往也是來不及的時候了！這樣的我，唯一能做的，就是盡己之力，鼓勵年輕人珍惜生命、活得更美！

　活得更美這一首歌，是我深刻的體會到－年輕、熱情、健康、希望－是我們生命中最寶貴的元素，其實不管多大歲數，我們還是可以擁有它們的！

我常常在活動中用這一首歌揭開序幕，用它來帶動唱，帶動整體的氣氛，效果很好。令我好奇的是，最常和我們一起舞動的有二種人，一種是小朋友，一種是年長者。藉著他們的參與，我想祝福凡聽到這一首歌的人：

　一、從小朋友的眼光去看～放眼一生，我要活得更美。
　二、從年長者的眼光去看～回顧一生，我有活得更美。

◎Happy birthday to you

　看著小小的你　搖晃著鴨鴨屁屁　我的眼中閃著淚光喜悅無比
　聽著小小的你　走音地唱著歌曲　我的心中充滿歡喜感謝上帝
　Happy birthday to you, oh my dear baby　願你遵行神的旨意　一生不偏離
　Happy birthday to you, oh my dear baby　願你頌讚主的神奇　常在主愛裡
　
這一首歌寫成是因為我的老二沐宣二歲生日，記得那時他好小，包著尿布，走路搖搖晃晃，實在是好可愛！所以，把自己對他的感覺與期望寫入歌中，祝福他一生頌讚主、與主同行。

　這首歌，我借用生日快樂歌的曲調來創作，但我覺得，生日不只是單單求快樂而已，更應為壽星求屬天的祝福，祝福他能學會付出自己的愛、也學會愛主。這首歌我用二個重點來寫：

　一、他今天搖晃著鴨鴨屁屁，長大要遵行主的旨意。
　二、他今天走音地唱著歌曲，長大要頌讚主的神奇。

　我在推廣音樂事工當中，特別以家庭之愛、親子情感作為主力，所以寫了許多愛家的歌，在各地演唱或發表時，這些歌曲影響了某些家庭，甚至有家庭藉此從黑暗陰霾中走出！我想這是聖靈動工，而我希望我們所做的努力，能合乎主用，發生影響力與感動力！

愛的密碼

The Priest of the group God's Sheep also create this lovely song, which I really like it.

愛的密碼

我的朋友　請看著我　猜我想什麼
我的眼睛　眨個不停　請讀我的心
千言萬語　每字每句　用數字代替
每個數字　都有意思　我為你解釋
５３０　我想你　５２０是我愛你
０５６９３３５　你無聊就想想我
７７０　８８０　親親你呀抱抱你
５９４２０啊　我就是愛你


Meaning of the song

　去年流行一首歌『老鼠愛大米』，這是透過網路傳播而紅遍大街小巷的歌曲，它引發我在創作上有了新的看見，對現代年輕人的胡思與巧思做了一番研究。雖然我無法做什麼結論，但我從這些可愛又可笑又可貴的資料中找到了不少創作的靈感，這首『愛的密碼』就是在這樣的光景下產生的趣味之作。

　這一則『伊媚兒』算是過氣了許久的東西，但我收到時卻新奇無比，在讚嘆寫出這些數字與意思的作者的同時，歌詞與歌曲已經悄然成形，只待我用文字與音符將它寫作出來！現在，這首『愛的密碼』已經成為羔羊樂團四處演唱不可或缺的招牌歌曲！最近，我太太憶萍又為它編舞，所以，我們也期盼將這一首歌帶到更多地方，帶給人們歡樂！

　我和許多人一樣，對於心中的愛是怯於直接表達的，我們都不太好意思對所愛的人說出：我愛妳／你！但表達我們心中的愛是非常非常重要的一件事，如何開口呢？

　這首歌完成後，我一天到晚在家唱，當然，我那三個兒子又要耳濡目染一番了。很長的一段時間，『770～880～』成了我們家最常聽到的聲音，特別是小孩撒嬌的時候，雖然對象都是他們的媽，但被晾在一旁的我仍是滿心喜悅的！喔！那真是太幸福、太美滿了！

　這首歌的歌詞是來自網路流傳的信件的內容，相信大家都不陌生，而我在譜曲的時候用了輕快的節奏－『倫巴』來作曲。記得以前學吉他時，學『倫巴』就彈『歡樂年華』這首歌，所以我借用這樣的感覺來寫，這樣的旋律簡單又好聽，容易朗朗上口，甚至常常不經意地就會隨口哼唱，隨時掉入快樂的情境！

　在教會中，我們極為缺乏為非基督徒寫的詩歌，所以教會對外的事工反而常找不到適合的歌來唱。現代基督徒的音樂創作已經成熟，多數的創作人可以創作極好的詩歌，只是我們好像有一種跳脫不開的迷思，就是我們幾乎都為了敬拜讚美而寫歌，我們會用的詞，也以教會中常用的文詞為主，所以也走不出去。已經有很多音樂同工宣告，我們要起來，為福音事工創作！

　基於這樣的需求，我試著用自己小小的力量，以及工作室小小的空間，做音樂培訓的工作。
　司琴班的事工已穩定進行中，目前希望培訓更多的音樂創作人，所以不計一切開辦詞曲創作的課程，期盼教會中對福音歌曲創作有負擔的弟兄姐妹興起，在創作這一條路上同行，相信那從天父而來的愛和恩典，將透過你我的詞曲，流入每個人的心間！

Tomb Sweeping Day

This Wendnesday is our country's Tomb Sweeping Day. This year, we have four days of vacation. I am so excited and I cannot wait to realx and spend time with my son.

In the following is the story of Tomb Sweeping Day in Taiwan:

The Chinese respect for filial piety and careful attention to funeral rites is visibly manifested in the custom of ancestor worship. Since ancient times, a day has been designated for sweeping the tomb and honoring one's ancestors. Though different in each family, these rites are usually performed on the first few days prior to or following Ching Ming, one of the traditional solar divisions falling in early April, when the frost retreats and spring returns bringing renewal to all living things. In 1935, the government of the ROC designated Ching Ming as Tomb Sweeping Day to further heighten the significance of this occasion.

After Taiwan transformed from an agrarian- to industrial-based economy, many of the older customs were gradually neglected. Tomb Sweeping Day, however, has retained its deep meaning in modern Chinese society, as the numerous families carrying out cleaning and worship rites at cemeteries during this time will testify. The Central Government Prayer Service is also held on this day, amply evidencing the deep respect with which the Chinese view their roots.

Since most cemeteries are located on hillsides in the countryside or outskirts of town, upon completing the Tomb Sweeping Day rites, many families will take advantage of the fine spring weather by going on a family outing. These trips have become an important part of Tomb Sweeping Day as a time for families to enjoy time together.

The foods offered on Tomb Sweeping Day vary by region. In Taiwan, the most common dishes are the distinctive " grave cakes" and jun ping.

Tomb Sweeping Day combines the people's reverence for their ancestors and for nature and is a reaffirmation of the Chinese ethic of filial piety. Today, Tomb Sweeping Day is a time not only for worship and maintaining the tombs of ancestors, but also a tangible expression of filial respect for the teachings and virtues of forebears.

Spring Rolls (春捲)

In the Tomb Sweeping Day, spring rolls is very traditional food of this day. Each family will prepare plenty of food for this dish.

Address: 台南市民族路三段19號
Time：AM9:00~PM5:30

Avril Lavigne, "Don't Tell Me"

This is a very short week for us here in Taiwan because Tomb Sweeping Day. I want to do something fun and relaxing for my 8th graders. I decided to teach easy song of Avril. My girls like her a lot. I am hopping that my power point will work well.

Lyrics in the following:

"Don't Tell Me"

You held my hand and walked me home, I know
Why you gave me that kiss it was something like this it made me go ooh ohh
You wiped my tears, got rid of all my fears, why did you have to go?
Guess it wasn't enough to take up some of my love
Guys are so hard to trust
Did I not tell you that I'm not like that girl?
The one who gives it all away, yeah

[Chorus:]
Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time?
Did you think that it was something I was gonna do and cry?
Don't try to tell me what to do,
Don't try to tell me what to say,
You're better off that way

Don't think that your charm and the fact that your arm is now around my neck
Will get you in my pants I'll have to kick your ass and make you never forget
I'm gonna ask you to stop, thought I liked you a lot, but I'm really upset
Get out of my head get off of my bed yeah that's what I said
Did I not tell you that I'm not like that girl, the one who, throws it all away

[Chorus]

This guilt trip that you put me on won't, mess me up I've done no wrong
Any thoughts of you and me have gone away

[Chorus]

Better off that way
I'm better off alone anyway

Who is really nice ?

This short composition was written by 江 侑蓁 in J1H.

Who is Really Nice?

I know Katty is a really nice. She is very kind to everybody. She always smiles at everyone. If you made her angry, then she will smile at you. She is very earnest. For example: Sometimes the teacher will say “who wants to clean the bathroom? ’’Then she will say “I want to clean the bathroom.” or if she saw somebody have a problem then, she will help them to solve the problem.

She often likes to talk to people. If you talk to her then, you will be happy for all day. And she often made everybody laugh. She will sing strange song or do strange dance. She is very funny. Sometimes she will solve two people’s money argument. She has another name is flatfish. It’s about her real name Katty Lee’s story. And her hobbies are: playing piano, playing computer, and watching TV.

Her favorite doll is snoopy. If she saw snoopy, she will buy it and will love it very much. Her capacity for eating lunch is too big. She always use big bowl to fill rice, vegetable, meat and soup. But she is not fat, she is very thin. I don’t know why she eats a lot of food, but doesn’t be fat. I guess maybe she exercises every day or she eats a little food at night.

She is easy to get along with everybody because she is very friendly. She has a lot of friends. She is a good friend. Maybe you can make friend with her then, you will find a lot of secrets from her. That’s why I think Katty is a really nice person.
