Letter XIII: The Christmas Week and a Trip to the Taipei High Administrative Court

Hello Tim!

The weather this week has warmed up a bit occasionally with some random rays of sunshine, but the nights have still been breezy.
It is Saturday in the afternoon at this moment, but later, I will be going to meet my German class friends and teacher because he and his wife (my former English cram school teacher) are taking us to a Christmas dinner, a "Weihnachtessen" (Christmas meal), as he put it. I'll see how much I can write before leaving home.

'Twas a Beautiful Christmas Tree- A Christmas Short Story

This is a story written a year ago, as a miniature in-class project. I extended it a bit to make it better, and this would be in our future magazine, but that will certainly be a while before anything is done. For now, I just want you all have a beautiful Christmas, and I hope you enjoy my story.

Letter XII: Pending Christmas (Déjà vu) and a Changed Opinion on a Particular Book

Hello, Tim!
Quite surprisingly, it has been an uneventful week, as most of the things passed without much fuss. The weather is still pretty cold that I have been wearing all my gloves and hats still, but at the same time, it was more or less assuring that we still have normal winters, instead of days with high temperatures that feel like summer days. Now that would be disconcerting.

Letter XI: Writing for Rights 2017 and the English Essay Competition

Greetings, Tim!
This letter, as it turned out is actually the correct Letter XI, for we need not write a letter in class 220 last week, so I've changed my last letter to stay on track with my other classmates.
It is what we call "freezing cold" here in Taiwan. It was the damp kind of cold, so it felt colder than what is shone on the thermometer. Maybe it is still nothing, comparing to other countries, but it should be enough for me to bring out my Mom-brand knitted gloves, hat, and scarf. They keep me warm even when I am outside facing the cold raining wind, and I love them even more since Mom made them out of numerous balls of yarn.
I don't usually put my hat on, but I just got a haircut (details later) so without a hat, my head would probably freeze up. It is Saturday now, and normally I only start my letters on Sundays, but tomorrow I would go attend an English essay competition -which was giving me a fright and excitement at the same time- and in the afternoon, I still have a math class.

Write for Rights 2017 Postcards and Activities

These are the cases and the postcards I have written for. There are unfair things happening all around the world every second. We should care for not just ourselves nor merely the people around us; extend your sight to places that are farther.

Two Weeks After the Test: Movie Time and the Horrible Weather (with a side of Environmental Concerns)

Hello, Tim!
As I said last week, I am still struggling to get my history and geography reports- both of which are immensely time-taxing. The weather was still changing as ever, and there was a thick layer of smog that covered Taiwan for an incessant two days. I was planning to write something about that in the letter of last week, but eventually, I found that I had no time. Maybe the article will be here.
Still, I would have to hasten my pace or there will be no time left for the undone reports.
