YOYO English Club

Dear YoYoers:

As you know,I am a big fan of U.S. Armed Forces. So why don’t I bring my passion for U.S. Military into the YoYo club. This time,I will give you guys some basic knowledge to brainstorm why U.S. Armed Forces is so powerful. It is not just about the technology there is something else within the military education to cultivate mighty forces. And even though we are not military personnel we can still apply this to our daily life to make us a better person!


Sesson I:We will be engage in traits of military education,reflect on what’s happening in Taiwan right now and what we can do for that.

Question for Sesson I:
1.What is your opinion about U.S.M.A.(United States Military Academy West Point)’s education? Why it is able to shape so many successful talents?
2.Do you think Taiwanese society needs to reform the the attitude of disrespect military personnel?
3.Woke kids(覺青) always thought when warfare happens between both side of Taiwan Strait. American will immediately give out assistance and fight for Taiwan LOL. What is your opinion about that?

Sesson II:We will get hands on Ranger Creed. Which is one of the greatest motto on the earth IMHO(In My Humble Opinion). I think whoever wrote this creed he should be awarded Nobel Prize.
When every Ranger candidate completes the training of Army Ranger School before commissioning him as a qualified Ranger. Instrcutors will demand them to shout out the The Ranger Creed. To show the world I am determined to be a elite soldier!
