Wun DeElementary School and WunDe Broadcasting Explore Team(English and chinese)
Hello everyone !
Here are your reporters, Ya-Chun and Ting-Wei,
from the Wun-De Exploation Team.
We are now in Fenyuan Township, Changhua County.
The famous local products here are rice-flour noodle,
pineapple, longan, rice, etc.
In addition, the visitors can also enjoy the
beautiful mountains, versatile plants, and especially
the eagles.
Despite the lovely food and scenery around, a
special object that caught people much attention is a huge
transmitter belonging to the Broadcasting
Corporation of China, located next to Wun-De Elementary School.
We will conduct a series of reports to let
people know what the transmitter is for, the principle of brocasting, and
also more about the beloved BBC .
The features of Wun De Elementary School(chinese)
There are three
Wun De Elementary Schools inTaiwan,
one is inBanchiao City,Taipei
County and another is inFengshan City,
Kaohsiung County. They are large schools. We’re
located inChanghua
County, and we only have
six classes with total of 72 students. Although we’re remote, but with the
leadership of Principal Chang, we made great achievements. Not long ago, we
participated in Cyberfair for the first time and received Gold Medal and second
inTaiwan.
We even met President Ma!
Our school lunch menu was certified as A+ 15 times in
county-wide auditing process. We focus on educating nutritional values; in
addition to manners, safety and health, we often hold talent competitions for
nutrition. Because of our hard work focus, we have been able to win awards.
In addition, out e-class, dialect and chorus groups
perform with excellent. Especially our chorus group, which consists of members
from first to sixth grade. It’s rather impressive.
Please visit Wun De. We sincerely welcome you with open
arms.
Your neighborhood friendly BCC(chinese)
Wun
De Elementary School and BCC Central Station are neighbors. The security at the
station is always tight, and normally we don’t get to see what’s going on
inside. However, BCC has made many contributions to local charitable causes.
For example, there was an empty lot of land south of
the school, which belonged to the BCC but it had no use for it. It donated it
to our school and it became our “green genie” for rest and leisure between
classes. We appreciate the love from BCC very much.
Also, every semester BCC provide the top 3 students
with scholarship. Everyone greatly admires the care for the station for
encouraging students to do their best.
I’ve received the scholarship many times. Thinking
about those who has been helping me, I want to contribute to the society when I
grow up.
Our specialty products(chinese)
We
are a bunch of kids that live in the mountains ofFengyuan
Township,Changhua County.
There’s plenty of fresh air and sunlight. The main agricultural products for
our township are pineapples, litchi and longan. At the beginning of summer,
pineapples, litchi and longan fruits become ripe. These fruits are our primary
sources for economic means as well as our livelihood. Pineapple is called “On-lai”
in Taiwanese. “On-lai” means “immediately arrive of prosperity”. Pineapples are
used for sacrifices and they’re one of the favorite fruits for everyone, young
or old, in the summer.
It often feels like spring time inTaiwan and its
climate is great for inhabitation. There is an abundance of fruits every
season, especially in summer, which is the season that produces the most
fruits, such as litchi and longan. Here’s a riddle (in Taiwanese): “You don’t
have to shape it and it’s round; you don’t need to add sugar and it’s sweet.”
It’s a summer fruit. The answer is Longan.
Litchi and longan are very juicy and sweet. We bet that
you’ll not be able to stop eating them! They are excellent desserts for helping
you feeling cooler in the summer. It is out sincere hope that everyone could
come and try and buy these three fruits during their season of abundance and
aid our efforts of growing them.
Thank you very much!
People are brought together if they are so fated(chinese)
Even though Wun De
Elementary School is a tiny school with less than 80 students in total, it has
a very interesting story. See our report below:
There were 4 students in Grade 4 Class 1. Two of the students
had the same name Ching-yi. The slender one was Ching-yi Gao, and the chubbier
one was Ching-yi Hsu. But what was even more interesting was that their teacher
during their first and second grade was Ching-yi Lai. Everyone was amazed at
the coincidence. We have a saying that “People are brought together if they are
so fated.”
As the epilogue, they have remained something
resembling good friends until today, which is quite admirable.
We genuinely wish their happiness and hope they
treasure the interesting experience at Wun De.
