Fables
In almost every culture, one of the oldest forms of literature is fables. Fables are short, simple stories that teach us lessons. These lessons, called morals, are usually serious points about how to behave in the world.
Today we are going to learn a famous fable writer, named James Thurber (1894-1961). After understanding his background, the next step for us is to read one of his works.
Citing from Amazon.com (http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/thurber.htm), James Thurber is an American writer and cartoonist, who tended to deal with the frustrations of modern world. Thurber's best-known characters are Walter Mitty, his snarling wife and silently observing animals. His stories have influenced later writers, such as Kurt Vonnegut and Joseph Heller. Thurber is generally acknowledged as the greatest American humorist since Mark Twain (1835-1910).
See the example below and will know the irocial humor of James Thurber.
Then, go to read other fables that may interest you.

Ways to Find Happiness in the Stressed Life
We, including you and me, are living in the world full of so much competition, pressure, depression, loneliness, and sadness that we can hardly imagine. So it is natural that a part of our mind tends to carry a tinge of sadness or negative emotion. The following are the ways to happiness. So, let's take a look and see if they work!
• First of all, the attitude is important. That is, you must be mentally ready to strive for happiness as much as possible, irrespective of what is happening in your life daily. So, before going to bed today, take few minutes to reach a resolution that you are going to be happy to the best extent possible from tomorrow onwards and repeat the vow daily. Once it becomes a habit, your mind automatically tunes itself to tread the happier line.
• A hearty smile is the best symptom of a happy mind. It not only makes you feel better but also sets the tone for the rest of the day, as others also will feel welcomed to come and talk to you. So, learn to smile at will.
• An idle mind is devil's workshop. Hence, always make it a point to be in the company of your friends or involve yourself in some activities that keeps you engaged. Don't let your mind wander idle.
• Be happy at what you are, even if you are ambitious. Ambition must be the drive to achieve something, and not a handle for disappointment, especially in case if you are not reaching your targets quickly. Misses and losses can happen in anybody’s life. In such moments when you might be feeling low, take few minutes to write down the things you have or you are proud of and not many others have the luck to own. Once you do that, things will start to calm down and you will start to feel better.
• Always look for the silver lining at the moment of despair. Make it a habit to view the positives over negatives and hope for the best. Heard of the adage ‘hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible and achieves the impossible’?
To sum it up, in order to be happy, the effort must start right from one's own heart.
So, next morning, when you wake up, make sure there is a broad smile originating on your lips and a strong resolve in your heart to seek happiness. Very soon you'll realize that how substantially this little change of character is going to transform your life!

How to Report on Musicians
Dear all,
I am excited to listen to your report on Friday since you haven't had one this semester.
As I mentioned before, it is a rare opportunity to ask so many fellow students to watch your show, so cherish each time of presentation especially when we do not have much time spending on it.
Are you ready?
Steps on doing your presentation:
1. Decide which musician you are going to report (Avoid introducing the same musician as the one that the other groups do.
2. Once you decide the musician, find the information either in Chinese or in English and read it. (Do not forget to digest it and use your words to retell the part that you think is important.)
3. Tell some stories about the musician.
4. Give the photos of the musician.
5. Play some music the musician composed. You may introduce the background of the piece of music.
Tips on giving a report:
1. Know the audience’s needs, interests, and hopes.
2. Strike the appropriate tone right from the beginning.
3. Support generalizations with specific and realistic examples.
4. Keep a fast pace.
5. Paint verbal pictures.
6. Stick to plain language.
7. Make meaningful eye contact.
8. Avoid repetitive gestures and expressions.
Each group has only 5 to 7 minutes.

關代用法整理
重點1. 關係代名詞 + 形容詞子句 (不完整子句)
主格 (who / which = that) + Vt. + O
人 / 物 (先行詞) + 受格 (whom / which = that) + S. + Vt.
所有格 (whose / of which + the) +N〜
重點2. 關代受格(限定用法)的省略
先行詞與關係詞之間若無逗點，其關代受格可省略(形容詞子句中的動詞 無須變化)。
重點3. 強調--> 無論是誰
whoever（= anyone who）
whosever（= anyone whose）
whomever（= anyone whom）
然而，在現代英語中,不論主格或受格都是用whoever，不用whomever。不過，按照規矩使用比較安全，那就是在關係子句裏做主詞者用whoever，做受詞者用whomever。
Examples:
1. Whoever （=Anyone who） quit the job first is a coward.
2. I hate whoever (=anyone who) refuses to do the job.
3. His parents do not allow him to play with whoever is dishonest.
4. Whosever books are overdue will be fined.
重點4 關係子句中有「某人的想法時」(如 think, consider, suppose, believe, imagine, guess, say)
關代主格 (sb. think) + V….
關代受格 (sb. think) to be …
e.g. That is the man whom I guess to be your father.
That is the man who I believe can tell the truth.
You may give the prize to whomever you think to be the best.
He always does what (=the things which) he think is right.
重點 5. few…but 沒有……不
e.g. I've known few persons but make a mistake once in a while.
我已經很少認識偶而不犯錯的人。
翻譯解答
1. The man (who is) sitting under the tree is a scientist.
2. He lost the money that I gave him.
3. These are the books that I read last year.
4. The man who has blond hair is a British man. (The man with blond hair is a British man.)
5. The horse I rode on is a good horse.
6. The glass that my servant broke belongs to Ms Lee’s.
7. The girl I like best is your sister.
8. I will buy everything you need to you. (I will buy whatever you need.)
9. The reason why he did that is obvious.
10. This is the place that I lived in last year. (This is the place where I lived last year.)
