On-line English Teaching - Two Journals from a Senior High School student


Two Journals from a Senior High School student - #1 Terrorists’ Attack in France


  To broaden our horizons, we watched the program “Sisy's World News - 文茜的財經周報“ these days.  Our teacher, Mickey, would like us to pay attention to the current events around the world.  She thought watching this program may help us.  Among all the news reported, I think the most shocking news was the event about Charlie Hebdo.

  French is a country, like most of the country in the world, which emphasizes the freedom of speech, but the terrorists’ attack happened there is too much.  It really shocked the world.

  The Muslims attacked the editor of a French magazine, Charlie Hebdo, whose aim is to clarify what critical thinking is.  The reason of their killings is because they mocked Muhammad, their God.

  I think some of the Muslims who transformed themselves into the terrorists are so horrible.  They will do anything to protect their religion, but their actions always hurt the innocent people.  Although they hate the people who criticize Islam, they should not use weapons to kill the people and turn into a tragic event.

  I don’t like those religious fanatics very much, but we have to learn how to live peacefully among the diversity of religions and races.  Accommodating the culture and religion is one of the nice virtues a person should have.

#2 I Love My High School

  Our school held a special activity to wish the seniors well for the upcoming big College Entrance exam in February.  The teachers and the junior classmates spent a long time to prepare this event.  They even made a nice video for us.  There were many teachers who said encouraging words to cheer for us in the video.

  In fact, the video touched us deeply.  Time flies fast.  There are precious memories in the past between the teachers and us.  We will be the proud first graduates from Wagor Senior High School.  We will be the honored seniors to be remembered forever in this school.  The teachers are our best supporters for all these years. I must treasure this moment.  They are the one who taught us what the meanings are for our high school life.  I am lucky to learn from them and enjoy the happy high school years. 

  I will be very sad when we graduate and bid our farewell from my school.
