Ms. Esther Han & Her Canadian Arctic Experience
(My Inspiration for LioHo Summer Camp 2022)
2022 六和高中暑假營隊的啟發:過去在加拿大是公立國中老師&作家,寫歷史小說的時候曾在2016年到北極去研究愛斯基摩人與北極熊,在這一次暑假營隊的課程中與同學分享之前去北極的體驗。
After the Arctic lecture we made models of arctic landscape (ocean & iceberg) using recycled cardboards, and arctic animals using play-dough
北極講堂後,我們用回收的紙板製作北極景觀(海洋和冰山)模型;用輕質土製作北極動物生態模型

國中部助教志工湯恩琳介紹
恩琳分享香蕉被泰國大象偷走的特別旅行經驗
Annie recounts how her banana was stolen from her by a special thief -- A Thai Elephant
大家好,我是湯恩琳,是個熱愛嘗試新事物的國中生,我去過八個國家,有泰國、越南、柬浦寨、菲律賓、新加坡、馬來西亞、香港以及澳門。
還記得,最一開始的旅行是被逼迫的,原因是我媽公司員工旅遊,可以帶一位家人前去,所以我媽媽為了省錢,把想宅在家的我帶出國玩,印象中,我為了待在家懇求了很久呢!
那一次的旅行我們去了泰國,泰國真是個有趣的國家!他們的料理口味偏酸,溫度比台灣還熱,最印象深刻的是泰國的大象,我們花了兩個小時排隊,就為了看大象表演,等到腿十分酸痛,進場後,我尚未來得及觀賞雄偉的象群,就遇到了「小偷」! 只見我手上拿著從小販買的香蕉,正準備品嘗,就發現香蕉遭竊,我看到一根烏灰色、有些捲曲的象鼻無情的捲走了我的香蕉,並一口吞下,接著我抬頭想找尋我的香蕉,卻只看到一個毫無留念的背影……
【只能說,異國旅行是奇妙的,不同的民俗文化和語言造就了不同的人文,也使你在旅行中學到新知。到各地旅行,你還能看到各種景象,且各個讓你印象深刻,像日本雪景、香港的迪士尼、菲律賓的海域船隻及海鮮、新加坡的吉隆坡和雙子星塔,每一次旅行,你都能發現新事物,並從中學習。正所謂「讀萬卷書不如行萬里路」呢!】
My first international trip was to Thailand, and people were warm and most welcoming. The weather is a lot warmer than Taiwan, and there were a lot of wild animals for tourists to play with. The most impressive creatures were the elephants! We waited in line for two hours just to see the elephant show, and my legs got very sore. Soon an “elephant thief” snatched the bananas that I bought from the vendor. Without realizing what happened I saw a gray and curly elephant trunk take away my bananas and eat them in one bite! Obviously the elephant was used to stealing tourists' food items, as it sneered at me as he turned and walked away like a professional.
It's an awesome experience to travel to different countries and see how cultures and languages come together to create different civilizations. When traveling to foreign places, you will see amazing sights, all of them leaving deep impressions on you. I have enjoyed the snow sight in Japan and the fun of Disney in Hong Kong, tasted seafood in the Philippines, climbed Kuala Lumpur(吉隆坡) in Singapore and the Petronas Twin Towers(雙子星塔). You will always discover something new every time you travel, as the saying goes: “It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books"!
