Dear diary:
Today, with excitement and expectation, I got out from the crowded, small box. It was so comfortable to reach the fresh air and beautiful scenery in Taitung. Forty people coming into view, I was so frightened. Ah… uh…. I meant…pleased.

The student who took me out of the box was 潘霈. Then Mr. Sam, the professional English teacher of Class 109 in Taitung Senior High School, hugged me and said,
"She’s Ruth義, our new learning partner." "Thank you for your introducing, gentle man," I thought in my heart. "and you guys must treat them well!" "Yeah! Oooooh!" All the students shouted loudly as if they were people in the ancient age and haven’t seen such a beautiful teddy bear. "So, Teacher Sam, where are the gifts from TFG?" "Hey! Hey! Aren’t you guys excited because of me?" I almost cried in my heart.

After the welcome celebration, 俊儒(帥哥) and 祐榕(Keroro) took me to see around the campus and visit some of their teachers. I recognized that Taitung Senior High is not only a group beautiful buildings, but a good learning solution with great animation. All the teachers got so “high” after seeing my graceful appearance.
Finally, it was time for class again. 俊儒 and 祐榕took me to Class 105, another class which Teacher Sam teaches. From the reaction they saw me, I Knew they loved me, too.

After school, it was time for some interesting activities! 瑞智 took me to dinner with his friend from another class. I was actually not so hungry, so I only drank a cup of black tea. Seeing them talk about me and my hometown, I was kind of happy!

After dinner, we went to the McDonald’s. "It is not so special," I thought. As I was thinking that why they guys took me here, they gave me a textbook--English. Oh I almost forgot that I would have to take an English vocabulary quiz tomorrow. So I studied the book and had some coke. "These words are as easy as a piece of cake!" I thought. After all, I am from the best girl’s high school in Taiwan!
Time flies, I finished my first day in Taitung in happiness. And I would have to go to school tomorrow, so good night my diary!
p.s. Good luck for the quiz tomorrow!

後記:其實在Ruth義來到台東高中的當天,一位來自對岸中國東北的一位英文老師(研究生)正好來到台東高中參觀本班(其實是阿臻老師)的教學情況。正好也來看看台灣學生在這些課外活動上所展現的活力與熱情。
我們會善待Ruth義的!至於保護費嘛這個….
