Letter 27

Hi Tim, there're some good news this week. 💗

I think Memorial Day is similar to 2/28 incident. Both of them commemorate the people who died for the country. The holiday is to honor the victims, but I find out that people now only want to have a vocation, they won't think anything about the history, the holiday become pointless.

I'm happy that class 105 also sold fried noodles, this is easy to earn money, it's always right. School fair in our school is in November, for me it's better than be in May, because summer in Taiwan is tooooo hot, no one would like to be in the sun, if it's in fall or winter, people need more energy to make them warm, so they'll buy lots of food, then we made it!

The basketball tournament I said few weeks ago was on this Tuesday(5/23), guess what, we won the second place! This is the first time I glory for the school. When I was in basketball team, I don't have lot of chances to play, I'm very honored that I can represent the school to join the competition this time. It will always be my best memory.

5/20 is a day for couples in Taiwan, because it sounds like "I love you" in Chinese. And 5/21 is my parents' wedding anniversary, 17 years ago they married. My brother and I always ask "Why don't you get married at 5/20?" The answer is, this day is for couples just started these few years, this is the businessman's plot. We celebrate their wedding anniversary every year, alike to celebrate our birthday, we go to fancy restaurant. I always feel love when people celebrate important days, I feel someone cares about me, unlike some of my friends, they won't celebrate any dates with their family.

My friend is still in ICU, but I believe he'll get better.

Letter 26

Hi Tim, this is Melody.

On my birthday, I will have a big meal with my family, and I can choose where to eat. I will also hang out with my friends, we'll go shopping, or go to a karaoke. Compared to the gift received, I prefer to receive a handwritten card. I would like to have a outdoor birthday party, I think no one have done this for me. I had heard that one of my teacher had celebrate her friend's birthday in a cool way, first the longevity would receive a list, and have to do what the list says, like "open the third locker", what inside the locker would be a small gift, and another task, at last, the longevity would get the birthday present, I think this is the most interesting and challenging way to celebrate birthday.

One of my best friend had a car accident tonight, I'm so worried and grieved, hope he would be fine, and I'll finish the letter tomorrow.

Letter 25

Sorry Tim, this is Melody, because of busying prepare the midterm exam, and I had a headache these days, this letter is REALLY late.

For me, there's something weird about the "Cinco de Mayo" , why it do not celebrate in the whole country of Mexico, but it's celebrated in USA? I think there's no holiday we dance in Taiwan, Cinco de Mayo is like a parade, I would like to have a try with the holiday. The farmers from the surrounding are pretty powerful, especially they didn't have advanced weapons.

The Spring Event in Kangshan HS is similar to our chorus contest, both of us sing and dressed up in the uniform, but in Macau what they do is “poetry recital” .

Next Tuesday, Nini, Red, Selena, and I would have to represent the school to have a basketball tournament, from the previous letter you could know the girls in our class are the best players, hope we can glory for the school.
