Badminton online tutorial

There are so many badminton online tutorials out there. Among many that I have read, this site called the Badminton Bible is the most complete and detailed. It contains pictures, detailed descriptions of postures, and also explanations on many things it covers. It is definitely a good starting point to get all your fundamentals down! There are also many good tutorial videos on youtube of course.

Taipei Exchange

This movie is called <> Taipei Exchange. For those of you who don’t read Chinese, those Chinese characters mean “The 36th Story”. Why 36? Um… you got to watch it… I don’t want to spoil it here. ;) Chinese movies don’t often explicitly express the director’s view. If you grow up with a lot of western movies then you may feel a little lost watching this. Overall I like the camera angles and also that, the story slightly touches many life issues. There is no big arguments nor dramatic moments for sure. If you are looking for a light, open-ended, and not-serious movie, this could be it. ...

中文老師

fwd: 我是個中學的中文老師,生平最痛苦的事情就是改作文!! 這次出的作文題目是:美食與我 我非常沾沾自喜,相當期待這麼生活化又簡單的題目 一定能讓他們發揮的淋漓盡致, 可以減輕我每次改作文到快往生的噩運!!! 沒想到我錯了!!!!!!! 這些天兵天將們每個都是未來的棟樑????…… 節錄一些下來: 1.我最喜歡吃的食物是生魚片,但是生魚片最讓我困擾的地方就是他的魚刺很多。 2.我最喜歡吃的食物是生魚片,唯一美中不足的是,他總是沒煮熟。 3.我最喜歡吃的美食是青菜,青菜中最喜歡吃的美食是白菜,為什麼喜歡吃白菜呢?因為他是青菜的一種(繞口令嗎?) 4.我最喜歡吃滷肉飯跟貢丸湯,他們對我來說不只是一種美食,而是……兩種美食。 (真是謝謝你的數學教學) 5.我最喜歡吃外婆煮的菜,裡面包含了很多愛心,但是萬一外婆死了我就吃不到了,所以我要趁外婆還活著的時候,叫他每天煮三餐給我吃。(這算虐待老人嗎?) 6.我最喜歡吃那種在外面跑的雞肉 (所以你要吃雞肉前都要追著他跑?) 7.我最喜歡吃美食,是那種出現陸地上,天天都看的到的那種肉(人肉?) 8.我對美食的要求很嚴格,他不能是由一位傷心的廚師做出來的(連續劇看太多了,孩子) 9.媽媽很厲害,他下廚以後,可以把一顆蛋變成一顆荷包蛋(不然呢?) 10.每次媽媽煮完菜我們全家都會歡呼,於是媽媽就走進廚房再做第二道 ! (原來你家都是一道菜煮完再煮一道…) 11.我很喜歡跟爸爸去逛夜市,因為美食都能讓我感到垂涎三尺,只要我看到那些食物出現,就會跟爸爸說我要吃這個我要吃那個結果我當然什麼都沒吃到 (好心酸的孩子) 12.我最喜歡吃媽媽煮的菜,跟外面賣的差的可遠呢!(那到底是好吃還是不好吃?) 13.世界上美食很多,其中我最喜歡吃的外國料理是台南擔仔麵(同學,請問你是哪國人?) 14.生魚片實在是太好吃了,每次一想到我的口水都會緩緩的滴下來…(慢動作嗎?) 15.有一樣食物讓我百吃不厭,那就是雙胞胎,名字聽起來大家一定都會覺得很奇怪,沒錯,他就是很奇怪(這樣有解釋到嗎?) 16.我吃東西總是又快又急,沒辦法,熟能生巧嘛! (我呼吸總是又快又急,沒辦法,熟能生巧嘛…!)
