                                                             Sophia Liao

         With the world going global, nowadays, English has become a more important and primary communication tool than before. To communicate fluently in English, some foreign students select the summer English program at the University of Toronto (U of T). Does it deserve the cost of not only money, but vacation time? Is it the best method for improving English? I am confident that there are more advantages than disadvantages to join the summer program at U of T.

Taiwan

 Dear Ellen and fellow classmates, my name is Sophia. Today, I’d like to introduce my home country -- Taiwan . I will divide my presentation into three parts. Fist, I’ll talk about Taiwan ’s location and history. Then, I’ll introduce some attractions in Taiwan . In the end, I’m going to talk about some misunderstandings about Taiwan .

       (秀地圖，比例尺由小到大)Taiwan consists of the main island of Taiwan and a lot of small islands. It is located southeast of the coast of mainland China , southwest of Japan , and northwest of Philippine. It’s bound to the East by the Pacific Ocean . About four hundreds years ago, the Spanish passed through here and named the island Formosa , which means what a beautiful island it is! Until now, Taiwan is also known as Formosa . On the map, it looks so small.

       In history, Taiwan was settled by Dutchman, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese. The trace of different cultures is still well-preserved. One of the most celebrated places is the National Palace Museum (投影片1). Its antique collection from China is the most comprehensive in the world. Another breathtaking place you don’t want to miss is Taipei 101(投影片2). It is the world’s tallest inhabited building and the premier shopping destination for luxury goods, fashion and fine dining.(CN Tower:553 meter, the tallest free-standing structure, but not a building.)
