- ~MURMUR~ Drinking during the "silent air"
I met a customer from U.S today.
We really had good conversation about 20% life words and 80% working talk.
It is not hard to sporadically sink into a "silent air" for the first meeting.
What an interesting thing that we all took the cup with coffee, then drank.
It's quite nomal but funny for me.
What's going on?
Well, nothing special.
We just "enjoyed" the silent air at the coffee time.:D

- ~MUSIC~ Road to somewhere *by Goldfrapp 冰金樂團
Road to somehere
Lyrics:
Walking down the Mercer St
Been a long hot summer
Rain like daggers coming
Down on me
Get a feeling it's too late
But alone, together, could
Be we might start it up
Allover again
Dream, dream you're not
Too late
Sweet road to somewhere else
Listen to the radio
Are you calling?
3 o'clock I'm on my way
On the road to somewhere
Little clouds like wounds
That blow away
Listening to the radio like a
Friend that guides me
Playing out every song
We used to know
Dream, dream you're not
Too late
Sweet road to somewhere else
Listen to the radio
Are you calling?
Bring it on
Come along
On the road to somewhere
Take our time
See the signs
On the road to somewhere

- ~MUSIC~ James Blunt "Goodbye My Lover"(with Lyrics)
Lyrics
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

- ~READER'S DIGEST~ The Nights I Spent in My Car 度日如年的車床生活
During the waiting time at the bank, I read an article about a woman who have had frustratingly lived in her car for more than one year. No address(homeless), no work(jobless) and no help.
How could she sat up by herself then did something different?
Her blog:
WANDERINGSCRIBE
由於版權問題，我並沒有辦法把讀者文摘中的內容一字一字ｋｅｙ上去，但是我又懶的上網去找她的貼文XD，只能寫下簡短的summary，最好的就是請大家親自上去Anya Peters的部落格一探究竟吧！（點上圖即可）

- ~Super Octopus~Homework for you <3/3>動詞整理與作業
Hello,
親愛的同學們，早安！
星期一是有關簡易的一般動詞最後一堂課，也相信大部分的同學都已經了解這些詞性的特色。
包括分辨何謂名詞、動詞、形容詞？
請在抄寫功課之前，先看這裡
下次上課時，要請你寫出你所知道的名詞、動詞、形容詞的類型單字。比如說：當老師提出名詞有哪些的時候，請你到白板寫上你所知的名詞，以此類推。（請你在家先把這個分類的工作些做好，以節省思考時間）下次上課要帶齊所有的學習單與講義。
下面還有我要你們翻譯成英文的３個句子：
注意!!(下列事項)
請勿逐字照翻
該注意的主角是第幾人稱?動詞要怎麼變化?
量詞(也就是數量單位):一杯... : a cup of...
時間副詞的位置
1. 請你留在家裡(home)
2. 她想要點一個漢堡(hamburger)和可樂(coke)

- ~MURMUR~問候語so-so?
簡單的問候語,比如說:
"How are you?" 的時候
想要表明很好、普普通通、不好等等, 有很多比較正經或比較輕鬆的回答方式，任君選用。
但是在我們台灣常用的回答方式：＂Ｓｏ ｓｏ！＂
並不是正確的用法哦！
嚴格說起來，他應該算是台灣自己演化出來的依個比較獨特風格的台灣式回答。
在外國朋友的耳朵聽起來，其實也不能算是輕鬆的說法，只能說是聽起來覺得怪怪的卡卡的說法，雖然他們也可以理解我們在說什麼。
但是Ｅｖａ的外國朋友，是也曾經這樣說過的。
因此，Ｅｖａ在小朋友的面前就完全不再教這一句回答的方式了。
當下次你要使用這一句話的時候，要特別的注意，
當然，不介意的人還是可以使用，畢竟說語言就是溝通可以用即可，也是正確的。

- ~READER'S DIGEST~ LET'S TALK ABOUT TEEN SEX! 性教育不該加入家庭話題？
Let's Talk About Teen Sex
（本篇文章節錄自Reader's Digest)
With teen pregnancy making headlines, it's a good time for parents to get their heads out of the sand and get real with their kids about sex.
By Laura Beil
Her mother was familiar with the amplified emotions of youth. Still, she couldn't fathom her daughter's heartbreak. Timidly she began asking leading questions: Why was this guy so special? Had they been … intimate? One day, the girl blurted, “Yes, Mom, I had sex with him." The two, it turned out, had been having intercourse for more than a year, finding opportunity at his empty house after school. Her mother couldn't bring herself to tell the girl's father.
Could this be your daughter? The latest government figures say 63 percent of high school seniors have had sexual intercourse. And surveys show that about four in ten sexually experienced teen girls say their parents don't know. How could they, when a third of all teens say a parent has never discussed sex candidly with them?
“Parents are like ostriches sometimes," says Claire Brindis, an adolescent health expert at the University of California, San Francisco. “They bury their heads in the ground and say, If I don't recognize it, it won't happen."
But happen it does. In December, 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears, popular with young fans of Nickelodeon's Zoey 101, revealed she was pregnant. That news closely followed the announcement by CDC officials that in 2006 teen pregnancy rates rose for the first time in 15 years. Add the box office success of the movie Juno, a PG-13 tale about a pregnant high school student, and parents have plenty of fresh reasons to make sex a topic of household conversation.
Reality Check: 63% of high school seniors have had intercourse.

本篇文章報導是摘錄自Reader's Digest
文章中的青少年性行為比例，當然並非以台灣為數據。
但是其實同樣的議題與父母的迷思也同樣發生在台灣。父母真的不能和孩子談性？
其實，應該不是不能談，＂只是羞於啟齒，那是私密的、含蓄的親密行為；孩子大了就會了解。＂這應該是很多東方父母也都會有的想法。
但是，性行為的年齡層愈發下降，教導正確的性觀念，其實是必須的。
紋中也提到了Jamie Lynn Spears, 布蘭妮的妹妹年紀輕輕的16歲就懷了身孕，而你必須要相信大部分的青少年並不了解其中的慎重與應有的態度，他們只是因為愛情，還有那起化學變化的腎上腺素有了作用。
文章中的提到性專家也指出，父母的駝鳥心態，並不代表這些事情就不會發生。事實上，它是正在進行著，而且不斷地再增加。
女孩們可以由媽媽來告訴她們；男孩們可以經由父親的經驗得知正確的性觀念。這話題是可以在也許一個禮拜一次的家庭會議中提出來討論或者應有的教育。
你家裡也有青少年／少女嗎？
應該要想想，告訴他們，什麼是性？還有對性的正確態度。
First Love
She was 17, coasting through her senior year in a Texas high school, when the breakup came. Her boyfriend, who had pledged his love forever, decided forever had arrived. She spent hours in her room in inconsolable grief. She picked at her food. She fell behind in her schoolwork. On a scale of one to ten, the pain was 100.
Her mother was familiar with the amplified emotions of youth. Still, she couldn't fathom her daughter's heartbreak. Timidly she began asking leading questions: Why was this guy so special? Had they been … intimate? One day, the girl blurted, “Yes, Mom, I had sex with him." The two, it turned out, had been having intercourse for more than a year, finding opportunity at his empty house after school. Her mother couldn't bring herself to tell the girl's father.

- ~Super Octopus~ 簡易一般動詞的句型<包含2/19作業>
Hello,
經過上一次課程的腦力激盪9個句子的練習，透過老師修正過的答案，相信你們都可以了解自己什麼地方是最容易遺漏的？或者還沒有搞清楚的？
一般動詞的英文單，已經進行好幾堂課，遲遲都還沒有繼續照著原定的教學計畫進行。
一方面Ｅｖａ希望你們的基本功夫都可以做的再更扎實一些。
＊一般動詞的用法其實十分廣泛，但就我們目前學的簡易一般動詞來說，只要你會運用他們寫出簡單但是正確的句子，才是我們學這堂課的主要目的。＊
舉例來說：當我們已經具備了對主格（I, You, He, She, They, We, You), Be 動詞 的配合的基本常識之後，你會發現，動詞延伸的更多，也更複雜一些。
上幾堂在課堂中練習寫的句子，主角還是都以Ｉ、Ｙｏｕ為主。（因為這兩者當主格時變化是最簡單的），上一堂課你也會發現，Ｅｖａ開始帶入當主格為＂第三人稱＂的時候，動詞應該怎麼改變？
基本來說，當主角是第三人稱時，後面的一般動詞就必須要加＂ｓ＂。（這是以最簡單的情況來說）
＊何謂第三人稱？＊（在課堂上Ｅｖａ已經有提過，請仔細想想我是怎麼舉例的？下次上課要請你回答） --＞第一項作業
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
已經完成９句翻譯的同學，以下是你本次上課的作業：
短句翻譯的練習：(請工整寫在notebook。並且留言告知已完成）
注意一個句子中一定要有動詞,可能是一般動詞也可能是be動詞,就是不能沒有動詞)
我有一個好朋友(good friend)。
她的名字(name)叫做 Wendy。
Wendy是一個漂亮的女孩。
她的頭髮(hair)又長又黑(black)。
她有咖啡色的(brown)眼睛(eye)。 (注意複數)
我們喜歡看書。
她想要成為一個圖書館員。 (這一個句型,job的英文單中有列)
圖書館員可以(can)每天都看書。(時間的位置要寫在哪裡?)
