Dear Tim,
This Wednesday, we had a Christmas and New Year party. We exchanged our gifts. This year, my " little angel" was Hugo again. He sent me a purple wallet and I really like it. I heard that it was chosen by Angela, and I think that she did a good job. Then, we ate delicious food happily. We had five pizzas, and our Chinese teacher bought us some fried chicken. We all had wonderful time.
Today is 31th December, the last day of this year. It is also the day of my mother's birthday. So we went back to my grandfather's house in Yilan in early morning. I will celebrate this day with my dear family.
I hope that I can have a perfect year!
Sincerely,
Candy

It's the calendar filled with saints days, feast days, holy days of obligation, and liturgical seasons.

It's a period for four weeks before Christmas and it lasts two weeks from November 27th to December 3rd.

Mexicans use the word "chili" when speaking about any one of about 100 different types of peppers. It is a dish in the US.
2. What is masa? What is the difference between masa and corn meal?
Masa is a much finer grind, like a regular flour. Corn meal is coarser, and may not be suitable for many of these recipes.

3. How does Mr. Maher describe Toomevera?
Mr. Maher described Toomevera as their ancestral village, which is a little farming town of about 700 people.
Last Saturday, we had school fair. It was a tiring day. We sold noodles, soup, drink, and face painting again. It was cold on that day. Terefore, we had many buttles of Sprite left.
We went to see " World Press Photo" yesterday. I think it was really a good experience. I seldom watch news on TV. If I watch it, I can only know something about traffic accident, politics, and so on. In this exhibition, I saw many realistic photos all over the world. Many groups of photos are talking about animals, refugees, and some terrible scenes. But there are three photos let me feel impressive. In South Africa, a photographer took the pictures. In those photos, there are buffalos, elephants, and zebras, and behind these animals are the beautiful night sky with many stars.I really want to see this kind of view in person!

Letter 9: English Dubbing Contest
Dear Tim,
1. What was the Halloween costume that you would probably only find in Arizona?
Two little kids dressed as cacti, and everyone would recognize them and think that it was cute.
2. What was different about Hugo's "tellytubbie" costume? How did another member of the class take advantage of this?
Hugo's costume had to be adapted to make a " tellytubbie." When Sabrina needed someone to transform to demonstrate her witch's power, he could be a frog.
3. How does Mr. Maher suspect that Ms. Lin made it through the day on Halloween?
She might run away and hide. But she didn't do that.
Last Friday, we went to Taipei City University of Science and Technology to attend the English Dubbing Contest. There were eight people in my class have to perform. And they did did well! But to our surprised, there was two teams from the same school in Taichung. They got the top two, and one of our team only got the third prize. It was a good experience for me to watch these students performed.
Sincerely,
Candy

Letter 8: Halloween
Dear Tim,
Now, I'm going to answer to your three questions.
1. Why should the Los Angeles Dodgers be considered the favorite on this years' World Series?
Because it won 104 games that was more than other teams. It also picked up one of the best pitchers from the Texas Rangers. Therefore, they have two best pitchers now.
2. With three games having been played so far, which team has won more games, but why are the Dodgers still the favorie to win the Series?
Houston Astros has won more games. The reason that the Dodgers are still the favorite team to win the Series is because it won't be easy for Houston Astros to win. If necessary, the final two games will be back in Los Angeles.
3. What are traditionally used to decorate the graves on Dia de Los Muertos?
Adult graves are marked with orange marigolds, while orchids are left at children's graves.
About musicals, we don't have a complete plan. But we are going to start to practice how to sing on the stage in these weeks. I will tell you more about it next week.
Tuesday, we went to school early to dress ourselves up. Cathy, Angela, Hugo, and I dressed up as the Telertubbies. When we walked in the campus, many people said that we were very cute, and Angela felt happy about it. We had a wonderful Halloween this year!
Sincerely,
Candy
