20150516, Gathering, Tainan

Is it a good idea using tablets to comfort kids instead of interacting with caregivers? "Is technology a good substitute for your personal interaction? We discussed a lot for today’s article about screen addition, ending up with a conclusion that use of electronic Medias or hanging on the internet cannot give you a real relationship with other people. If you would like to make friends or ensure your existence in this real world, why not just step outside from your house and join some meaningful activities with real people face by face? Joining the HEC gathering is definitely a good choice. Thanks for Jerry's host. We really did a reflection for this daily life issue!

Moreover, thanks for Grace, we did enjoy the funny of “ Heads up!”. You can check those funny looking faces form our pictures. I hope everybody didn’t lose their confidence due to the bad scores!

Finally, we appreciate Cherry, Jerry, Chris, Ken (it’s me), Grace, and Adam’s participation today. We also welcome our visitors: Alvin and Gloria to join our gathering. After this gathering, we headed to the Green Space for our dinner!

We will see you next time on August 1.

20150718, Tainan Summer Dinner Party

First of all, thanks Chris for sponsoring the gathering meal that the members has an opportunity to sit down and chat. We get to know each other more. It is a great start of the members have the common goal of improving our English in other way. Although next week will be the first tryout. It is a great beginning of enhancing our language ability..........Looking forward to it.
