Session I
People in Taiwan seem to like to line up for whatever reasons. Several days ago I saw a line queued in Jinme night market for fried bun (景美水煎包). I waited in line for 20 minutes and was very disappointed because the bun is very nasty to eat.
1. Share your experience for waiting in line. It could be waiting for a bus, food, movie ticket etc.
About 3 weeks ago I was in an English club gathering. The topic was how to talk to a stranger. There was a guy who shared his experience of talking to girls on MRT. He is an engineer. He has no chance to have girlfriends because his working place has no females. He started to talk to girls on MRT and has collected more than 200 girls’ phone # for 2 years straight.
2. Would you try it if you were in his situation? Do you have any trick or pick up line to talk to stranger? Please share with us.
There were 14 men killed in a theater for the premiere of a new Batman movie due to a killer who claimed he is Joker from Batman movie.

Why do the shooting tragedies happen over and over again? Do you think it has anything to do with violent movie?
Why do the US politicians shy away from passing the law of gun control?
Session II:
Last week I went hiking with a group of my friends. A friend told me that she has recently brought a condo. 5 pin, 8 pin total if double deck is included. $270 million is the price she paid for the condo. I asked her why would you want to buy a house that is so tiny and pricy. She said since she lives alone and she wants to own a house and fed up with renting a room that won’t be hers forever, she made the decision.
4. If you were her, would you want to buy a condo that is as tiny and expensive as above?
Taiwan entertainer Da Bing's younger brother confirmed on Tuesday that the 37-year-old star had died of acute pneumonia and multiple organ failure in a Beijing hospital on Friday
5.Da Bing had struggled with drug-related problems. Do you think his friends and family give him enough support, or the show business is too dark and cause his life? Should the show business take the blame for his death?
I have a friend's friend. She offers her boyfriend three requirements for marriage. One is one-million saving in bank. Two is a house with her ownership (loans on him). Three is a car. The result is that she is 32 years old, not married yet, but still with the guy. She said she considers cutting down her requirements and holding only one- a house.
6. In this story, what do you think from man's viewpoint or woman's viewpoint? Is there any love in this marriage requirement?
Do the requirements mean anything if your future husband turns out unfaithful to you?
Session III:

7. Many people brought professional camera nowdays. Sometimes the scenery via camera lens is more beautiful than in real life. Do you think it's important to bring a professional camera while you travel with you? and it take time to take good photos and you only have limit time though.
8. I have been writing diary for more than 1 month now. Research says that it has the following benefits:
SIMPLIFYING LIFE
ACHIEVING GOALS
CLARIFY AND STRENGTHEN RELATIONSHIPS
LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF
BECOMING A BETTER COMMUNICATOR
Have you tried to write diary and found benefits? Share your experience. If you don't keep a diary, please tell us why.
9. Last question will be on the whiteboard : )
