Poetry - "M-O-T-H-E-R"
Hello everyone. I am Angela, today, I'm going to share a poetry with you. It's written by Howard Johnson.
M-O-T-H-E-R by Howard Johnson
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold,
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.
Why I choose this poetry is because I think "mother" is important to me, and I'm wanna thank her by this poetry. When mothers gave birth to us, they felt painful. Mothers raise us up, mothers take care of us. They teach us, protect us, and love us. When we are sick, sad, and happy, mothers always accompany us. I hope the children who take mothers' love for granted could understand mothers' toils. I love my mom very much, and how about you? Have you said "I love you" to your mom today yet? Just go and say it, and hug her tightly.

Group 10 - Taiwan's TV Programs (Socially relevant or pure garbage)
The main message of group 10's issue is about the TV programs in Taiwan. I enjoyed their show very much, I like it. It was not ony interesting but also related to the topic. The voice of the host and the guests were very clear and loud enough. The pacing of the delivery was not too fast. Though they did not use many background music and sound effects, the show was still great. I like they shot part of the film in "The Bird Dad's Shop," it was quite funny, I heard that they taught the shopkeeper for a long time to let him know how to say"What happened?" It was very kind of the shopkeeper that promised to play the role. I also like the part of the film the "King of Adventure" and the way they gave the examples like "Super Idol" and "Have you been a college student."
TV programs are very variety. Some could be useful and good, others could be useless and bad. For example, on socially relevant side, I think the "King of Adventure," "Super Star Avenue" and the "公視表演廳" are good programs. In the "King of Adventure," we can learn a lot of knowledge of foreign countries. Every time I watch this program, I can know more about the life style or culture of a country, and I want to visit the country very much! I also like the" Super Star Avenue" because I can hear some good songs and know stories of the competitors and support to them. This program also let me understand more about how to admire a song. I can watch a lot of art performances on"公視表演廳." It plays ballet or modern dances, the performances of musical groups and operas...etc. I love this programs very much! On purely garbage side, I think the TV programs which are talking about ghosts are unnecessary. It means nothing but scares audiences. For instance, the shows "玫瑰瞳鈴眼" and "藍色蜘蛛網" play the films that someone killed somebody then saw the ghost.... The shows"模範棒棒堂" and "我愛黑澀會" are useless. They play games which has no meaningfulness. I do not know what can I learn form thier games, competitions and meaningless conversation. In my opinion, those programs are purely garbage shows.
