Dear Tim,
Friday, Melody and I went to a cinema to watch the movie, Pitch Perfect 3, after school. I really love this movie. And I also feel excited because there are two handsome men in the movie! I enjoy every songs in Pitch Perfect 1.2.3. Though the story is a little bit funny, I also feel touched. I saw a hard relationship between those girls, even they graduated from college, they still care about each other.
Recently, we start to prepaare our Yearly Presentation! Some of us are searching for some musical that we are able to sing. I love " The Phantom of The Opera", but it is too dificult. Allison and I want to act " Mamma Mia." There are a lot of good musicals, however, I really don't know what I can sing in fact. I relish acting, but I am not a confident person. Actually, I have had a dream since few years ago. I want to be an actress! I didn't tell many people something about this. I don't know why I like to act before everyone, it is different from a normal speech or a homework presentation. I will be afraid of giving a speech, but I can be brave to play in every roles. I always think that my dream will never come true. I don't know whether my parents support me after they hearing about my dream. I have no idea about this, should I give up or try my best to achieve it ?
Sincerely,
Candy

Letter 13: New Year
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

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!

Candy

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
