Green Explorers's Reviews.

Zhang Ya-Zhu

  Li Yang-Jun, Yan Bo-Lin and I went to Cheng-Kung Office Park. For what? Of course for the tense exam for applying to be voluntary guide. At the first gaze at the test paper, I thought, "Oh no! So many words! I am doomed!" When I tried to read all the questions on the paper, I realized actually the test was easy, as long as I was prepared! My confidence came back. I put myself together, answering the question. the Multiple Choice and True/False was easy; however, I was shocked when I moved to the Short-answer questions. I thought I haven't had time to memorize all texts for the exam! All I could do is answering as best as I can. I wrote and wrote, finally I was done! All of us dare not to hand in our papers. Li Yang-Jun spoke out first, "I want to hand in, teacher Ye." Then, Yan Bo-Lin followed after Li, he shouted, "I give up!" I was the last one handing in the paper, we took photos with teacher before we left.
  As soon as I went home, I laid on my bed and started thinking is the test really hard? Maybe not, yet I hoped I can pass so that I wouldn't fail in my diligence.

  Today is day of tension because we had an exam in Cheng-Kung Office Park in afternoon. Our school teacher gave us a ride. Despite the fact that I was well prepared, I was too nervous, I forgot everything when the test began. I carefully read every questions word by word, and found Multiple Choice and True/False can be easier once you read it. But, the short-answer questions was difficult which needs to be cautiously answered, there is no room for mistakes! Luckily, the threshold is only 70 points, I got 81 points. Yet, I thought I was not satisfied with the result because I always get above 90 points in the school tests. I was surprised I couldn't answer all the questions from the volunteers test. It's unacceptable for me.

  In order to pass the exam, I read the item pool every day. I want to be a voluntary guide. Last night, I read the items until I fell asleep. I once wanted to give up because I was tired. I told myself to keep going. Just move a little bit further, I can reach the victory. We arrived the test room, people told me that I need to get at least 70 points to pass the exam. The total score of short-answer questions is 40 points, I had to answer carefully. I finished the paper as best as I could. I wrote down my answers in my words. After I handed in, teacher Huang soon evaluated all papers. I came to teacher to check my score while the teacher was reading my paper. I felt the time became slow, when I saw the red pen moving over my paper. Although I make some mistakes, I got 91 points. Only need to pass one more test, I can have basic training courses. From then on, I would prepare for the oral test. The test is guiding evaluators in Cheng-Kung Office Park. I was going to train my public speaking and collected materials about Cheng-Kung Green Camping Place for Learning, to express my best part.

Yi-Zhen

  Ya-Zhu, Bo-Lin and I had a oral exam. We were nervous in the beginning, later, as the evaluators came in the room, we were not nervous anymore. The teachers were friendly, they told us, "Just pretend we are six-year-old kids, maybe you wouldn't be nervous." I was the first one, Ya-Zhu was the second and Bo-Lin was the last examinee. We delivered fluently, no mistakes were made. Finally, all of us passed. We are now the Green Camp Educational Volunteer.
  Later on, Ya-Zhu had to leave first. Only Bo-Lin and I participated in cooking aquatic plant for lunch. We made pancakes with a big sister, and then we made dumpling. while we were making dumpling, a "ding" sound came up. The pancakes were done. It's yummy, crispy and soft. After we finished the pancakes, the dumpling was done, too. The tomato dishes were also served on the table. So delicious. Everyone had a great meal. Before we left, teacher Wu gave me a special seed with pumpkin-like shape. When I went home, I colored the seed with yellow pigment, now it looks more like a pumpkin!

Bo-Lin

  On Saturday morning, Yi-Zhen, Ya-Zhu and I had oral test in the Cheng-Kung Office Park. Teacher Huang gave us an hour for preparing the test. We demonstrated to each other in this hour. Teacher Yun also gave us some suggestions.
  The oral test began after Yi-Zhen's introduction. Ya-Zhi and I were listen to her in the back. We thought Yi-Zhen was great. Her guide was various and her voice is loud enough, she definitely can pass! Then it was Ya-Zhu's turn. She was too nervous to guide the right direction. Fortunately, the evaluators would give on more chance to Ya-Zhu. She did better in the second time.
  Now it's my turn. I started guiding after self-introduction. I explained the distinction of Jiangjun Road. And I introduce "the orchid brothers," Hong Kong Orchid Tree, Butterfly Tree and Orchid Tree, also I mentioned Formosan Gum and Teak. Certainly, I wouldn't forget to show people the Wood Chips Trail, where I am familiar the most. Though I made some mistakes, the evaluators were being not harsh to us. The test was over since my turn is done. Teacher Huang gathered all the evaluations and announced the result. All of us passed, We are so happy!
  When we were back to Jiangjun Road, teacher Huang came to us to give a compliment, also mentioned, "Remember, During guiding, if you just chat with your audience, you can speak and keep walking; otherwise, if you want to give an introduction or announcement, you need to stop and gather all people before you start." After listening to teacher Huang's advice, I wanted to do better next time if I had chances. Another instructors, teacher Lin, who taught us for the first time, told us that we can carry papers to write down our weakness so that we can make improvements. We both thank teacher Lin and Huang. After Ya-Zhu left, Yi-Zhen and I stayed for cooking aquatic plant as lunch. We had fun, what a shame that Ya-Zhe left early. Yi-Zhen and I both thought today is a fun!
