1-21 王柏人 Eric If I could live in another time period, I would choose to live in

the future because I’d really like to know what kind of food people will eat, what they will dress in, how their house will look and in what kind of car they will ride.

In the future, I think people will use numbers to call each other instead of using names. Their suits will be able to help them fly in the sky and protect them from any gunshots. People in the future will be able to live under the sea or in the sky. They will all live in huge sky-high buildings with all kinds of automatic equipment. They will ride in cars that can float in the sky, dive under the sea, and speed on rough land. In the future, every machine will function efficiently and fast, people will only push one button and everything will start to work. In a short time, people will be able to get whatever they want. Living in the future will be very convenient.

Besides, I think children in the future will be happier than us. They won’t need to go to school and won’t need any teachers. They will learn by playing all kinds of specially designed computer games. They won’t have any homework or tests. How I envy them! I really want to experience the life in the future.

李文心 Annabelle “A party” means people are invited or asked to celebrate something together.

However, I think a party looks much like a group of people playing games together. What kind of party is my favorite? A birthday party, of course! Why? I think

most people like to have a party on their birthdays, so we can have fun almost every day. And it is really convenient to go to a birthday party because everyone can make new friends and play with old ones at the same time. We usually call the person who is having a birthday a “birth star.” If this person is your friend, you can also celebrate without worrying about being disturbed or criticized. And everyone can be really cheerful. Besides, when it’s time to have the birthday cake, you might have the privilege of choosing a very big piece of cake! Sometimes you might get a gift from the “birth star” to take home as a souvenir, but this is not what most people care about. The most important fact that people really care about is that their friendship will improve a lot after this party.

Not only can a birthday party improve our friendships, but other kinds of parties can, too. So just keep on going to parties, and your personality will surely be enhanced unconsciously.

黃莉婷 Lili If I could have three wishes, my first wish would be being able to fly in the

sky, just like a bird. And I would live on the clouds and build my own castle on the clouds. During the day, I would play and talk with the birds. At night, I would dance on the stars and sing on the moon. And I could invite all my family and friends to my castle. Life would be so wonderful then.

My second wish would be having magic powers. With my magic powers, I would be able to help people, delight them and even bring them a surprise and joy. And then the world would become extremely peaceful and lovely. It would be really cool to have magic powers.

My last wish would be becoming a premiere in all kinds of movies, maybe a main character in a fairy tale or a beautiful heroin in a romantic story. And in the movies, I would experience different adventures and encounter all kinds of people. And I would be able to learn a lot from these wonderful experiences and my life would become very colorful.

Now I feel that three wishes don’t seem to be enough for me. Maybe I should wish that I could have more wishes and that all my wishes would come true, and….. Oops! I think I am being a little too greedy.

龍韻安 Sara I became a new member of Ying-Ming Junior high School several weeks ago.

Before I entered junior high, many people told me that it won’t be fun to study in junior high. On the first few days I came here, I was afraid of lots of different things, especially when I had already got used to elementary school life. However, gradually, I got to know more about my new school and liked this new environment. I also found that here in Ying-Ming, there are a lot of funny and interesting things to do. Most important of all, I have made a lot of wonderful new friends.

I am really lucky to have so many nice classmates and great teachers now. I go to school happily every day because I can be together with them at school. I love all the subjects, especially English. I will be happy all day if I have English class on that day because my English teacher, Ms. Chang is very cute and interesting. She makes me love English class even more than before. I like my class teacher Ms. Chao, too. She is always nice and kind to us. I think she is not only my teacher but also my good friend.

My school life as a member of Eagle Family is also very interesting. Our teacher, Ms. Su teaches us a lot of things about English. I think she is a very good teacher. We sing English songs, read wonderful stories, discuss literature works, write letters to pen pals in Los Angles and translate English lyrics of pop songs into Chinese. I really love these activities in class. Being one of the Eagle members makes me happy.

Although I have lots of quizzes and exams at school now, I still think my school life in junior high is really wonderful.

吳念芷 Jayline I had a Husky two years ago. His name was Benson. My two older

sisters and I bought him without telling my mom because Mom hates dogs very much.

At first, we hid Benson in my sisters’ room. However, Mom found him as soon as she entered the room. Mom was angry and insisted on giving him away in spite of our pleas and arguments. She told us that Husky would grow very fast and become very big and strong. Both my sisters would be too busy to take good care of him. A few months later, Mom finally gave him to one of her friends. My sisters and I was so angry that we refused to talk with Mom for several days. However, nothing could change this. Benson had to leave.

Losing Benson still makes me sad, but I have a lot of sweet memories about him. I remember his cute furry body and smart shining eyes. I have a vivid image in my mind of walking with Benson on the grass. Sometimes, I even dream about him at night. In the future, I plan to raise a smaller dog because taking care of a smaller one might be easier. And then, I will never let him leave me.

賴子敏 Shelly What do you think of our school uniform and sportswear? Some people think

they are beautiful but some don’t. Some people think it’s boring to go to school in uniform every day and want to wear their own clothes to school.

Personally speaking, I think our school uniform is beautiful, especially the girls’ winter uniform. The business suit upper outer garment with a red necktie and the long grill skirt really look nice on teenager girls. Most of my friends think the same as I. And they are proud of wearing the winter uniform, too. The boys’ winter uniform also looks nice. It is a white business suit and red necktie, just like the girls’. The only difference is that the boys’ uniform has gray trousers. However, it looks like you are wearing pajamas when you put on the winter sportswear. So both boys and girls don’t like wearing our winter sportswear. I don’t like it, either.

Surely, you needn’t worry about what you should wear if you have a uniform or sportswear. Wearing a uniform not only is more convenient but also makes life simpler for students and allows them to concentrate more on learning. So, sometimes rules are not as annoying as you think. Every time I put on my school uniform, I think I represent our school and feel proud from my heart to be one of the school members although I really hope the school can design a uniform which will make all of us look more beautiful all year long.

The Secret Of Da Vinci

Let’s know something about Da Vinci.

By Jeffrey

introduction•Da Vinci is a great artist. His

artistry has always been the the most famous in the world for several hundred years. But there are a lot of questions in his artistry. Did you find it? Let’s take a look!

• Look at Jesus’ left side. Do you know who that person is? The person looks like a man. But, in fact, that’s a woman. She is Maria, Jesus’ wife. On her neck, a man does an action which looks like he wants to kill Maria.

• If you count those hands, you’ll find there are 27 hands. In principle, there should be only 26 hands. The twenty-seventh hand is holding a knife. What does it try to do?

• This artistry is the most

famous in the world. Look at her back, the horizontal isn’t bilateral. And do you know how is her name from? It’s an anagram of Amon L’sa (Mona Lisa). Mona Lisa is an androgyny, and it’s Da Vinci’s self-portrait. So we can know Da Vinci is a gay from it.

• Look at this picture.

Jesus is grateful for John’s blessing. And Madonna’s hand is putting on John’s head. An angle’s hand does an action which looks like he wants to kill John. It’s very strange, right? We can know Da Vinci is an antichrist from it.

Conclusions• Those artistry are the most famous in the

world. Nobody can be a great artist like Da Vinci. And he has been a Zion’s leader. We know lots of things from his pictures. He is a bra-burner. He is a gay. He change his sex, a male change into a female. Mona Lisa is the best example. Not only Da Vinci, but also Newton , Botticelli and Hugo are all in this organization.

Vincent Van Gogh is a tragic artist. His works become important to common people until he died. It’s hard to think that his picture was only sold for five or ten cents in Breda market in 1903 . But now each of his pieces costs at least one million dollars.

Vincent Van Gogh was born in a village called Groot- Zunder in Brabant in 1853. People speak approvingly of how he cope with the light and color. His stroke is very heavy ,so he always detain a layer thick pigment. He died in 1890,at the age of 37. We can find a lot of his pieces in Van Gogh Art Gallery in Amsterdan.

Through the contrast of delicate pink ,blood red and dark red, of mild Louis-XV and Veronese green against the yellow –green and stark blue green tones －

In his painting, Van Gogh has tried to express the idea that the café is a place where one can ruin oneself, become crazy and criminal.

all this in an atmosphere like the devil’s inferno and pale sulphurous yellow …Van Gogh has tried to convey the sinister power of such a place.

The vase with 12 sunflowers

The painting shows sunflowers in all stages of life, from fully in bloom to withering. It was innovative for their use of the yellow spectrum, partly because newly invented pigments made new colors possible. In a letter to his brother Theo, van Gogh wrote: the sunflower is mine in a way.

Koala

Lili April 27th

2006

Aren' t Koalas bears ? • Everybody knows

koalas. They are very cute! Although many people call the koalas - koala bears, but they are not the bears.

• The koalas are marsupial mammals with a pouch for carrying their young.

• The koalas have beautiful gray, woolly fur. They like to living along. If threatened, koalas defend themselves with their sharp claws.

• Koalas are found in the eucalyptus forests on the east coast of Australia.

• They eat the leaves of eucalyptus trees. They get water from the leaves they eat. The only time koalas climb down from a tree is to move to another tree or romance.

• They are nocturnal and sleep 18 hours during the day.

Baby koalas

• When a koala born, it only has o.5gs. The baby koala' s size just like a jellybean! Female koalas have one baby at time.

Babies • The baby crawls

into the mother’s pouch, where it stays for 6 months. Then, the mother carries the baby on her back for 4 or 5 months.

How can we discern koala' s

gender? • Koalas always stay on the trees. If you want to

know it' s male or female, it will be difficult. There is an easy way to know koala' s gender.

• A male koala has apparent chest, and it can disperse flavor.

• A female koala has a pouch, it' s smaller than male. An adult male koala' s size is like two female koalas.

INTERESTING FACTS

• Koalas in the southern parts of Australia are considerably larger and have thicker fur than those in the north.

• This is thought to be an adaptation to keep them warm in the colder southern winters.

• Koalas have 5 digits on front paw, two of which are opposed to the others, much like our thumbs are able to be moved differently from the fingers. This helps them to hold firmly onto the branches and to grip their food.

• The 2nd and 3rd digits on their hind paws are fused together to form a grooming claw.

By:Annabelle

Beethoven was a famous German composer whose music is immortal. Born on December16 ， 1770 in Bonn ， Germany ， he died in Vienna ， Austria on Murch26 ， 1827. People called Beethoven the “Music Saint” as he was considered one of the greatest composers. His most famous works include Hero Symphony and Destiny Symphony.

While living in poverty ，Beethoven ， at age three ， was already showing signs of musical talent. His father who was a professional musical was often drunk and had a bad temper. He hit young Ludwig and pushed him to practice ， hoping that he would become a second Mozart ， namely a child prodigy

At 8 years old ， Beethoven was already performing as a solo pianist and at 10 ， he was a court musician and church organist. Mozart may have given him a few lesson and Haydn tutored him briefly ， but these two ， who were already famous musicians ， had very little time for young Beethoven.

Beethoven continued to be successful as a concert pianist ， teacher ， and composer. He was a favorite in many noblemen’s houses. Sadly ， his career as a pianist came to an end in 1802 ， when he was only 28. He began to lose his hearing until age 40 ，when he was almost completely deaf.

Because he could no longer hear his music, Beethoven became shy and bitter even with his friends. At times he was in such despair that he even tried to kill himself more than once. However, he continued to write and some of his best music was composed after he became completely deaf.

In Europe ， at the time ， attitudes towards the nobility started to change. The French Revolution came along and brought freedom of expression ， quality and a greater sense of brotherhood. Beethoven’s music became more adventurous. His work from that period displayed deeper emotions and feelings of great power.

Beethoven’s music inspired many with such intense excitement and euphoria. He achieved his masterpiece in completing his No.3 Hero Symphony at the age of 33. Beethoven’s outstanding uniqueness gained him the esteemed praise of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. As he became Mozart’s heir ， people began calling him “Music Saint”

Beethoven’s life story taught us that even deafness couldn't destroy his great talent. On the contrary, it made him stronger and more creative. Words alone cannot describe the deep emotions that his music brings to the listener. One must listen to it to fully appreciate Beethoven’s genius and uncompromising spirit.
