大湖公園&白鷺鷥山

好久不見的大湖公園，整理得很不錯，應該是內湖區居民很好的休閒地。騎車環湖逛完一圈，Jerry難得提議要去爬旁邊的白鷺鷥山，來回近一個鐘頭卻讓我通體舒暢。

最近為了讓孩子與同學有共同語言，幫兒子申請了一個遊戲網站的帳號。玩了幾次的兒子，昨晚睡前跟我說，他覺得有點無聊，一點「真實感」都沒有。這就對了！這才不枉費爸爸媽媽這幾年陪著你們上山下海、遊山玩水，體驗真實生命的精彩。

今年寒假，兩個寶貝參加了何嘉仁辦的寫作演說班。短短6次的課程，很訝異兩個孩子能寫出完整如此一篇像樣的文章，課程的帶領十分有技巧，從孩子的興趣出發，每周有固定的文法句型及進度，3周下來已經能拼湊成一篇完整的文章。因為孩子們攥寫的是自己的興趣，所以背起來就不會太生澀，當然老師們也協助他們將文章及文法潤釋的更加順暢。接下來學校會辦理演說比賽的預演及比賽，馬麻我對你們沒有太多的期待，只希望你們能夠透過這樣的活動增加一些不同的體驗，畢竟能夠站在人群中演說已經是膽小的你們勇敢的一大步了，加油喔!

How to ride a bike-by Jimmy

If I have to choose between walking and riding a bike, I will always choose a bike. Riding a bike is fun and it’s faster than walking. Instead of spending 20 minutes walking to your friend’s house, you can hop on your bike and be there in less than 10 minutes. Riding a bike is always a great way to stay healthy.

The first thing you need to do is buy or rent a bike. This is important because you don’t want to be a criminal. You can’t just walk down the street and steal someone’s bicycle. First of all, that would be mean and second of all, it is illegal. The next thing you need to do is a find a safe place to ride. You don’t want to ride your bike where there are a lot of cars or people. You might think you are now ready to mount your bike, but you need to make sure you are prepared to ride. You need a helmet. If you fall, you don’t want to injure your head. Also, you need to know where the brakes are and how to use them. The brakes are extremely important to your health and safety. You must pull the brakes in to slow down the bike and avoid accidents. If you pull the brakes too tight, you will most likely flip of your handle bars. Now you need to find someone to help you hold the bike up while you try to sit. Riding a bike takes a lot of balance and without some help, you will probably fall the first time you try to mount the bike. Once you are seated on the bike and someone is helping you, you should put your feet on the pedals. Now you are in position to ride. The next thing you need to do is pedal. Practice pedaling a few meters with someone holding the seat of the bike. Once you have mastered this, you may try practicing without any help.

Soon you will be able to ride your bike all by yourself. You will save time because you won’t have to walk and your body will become stronger and healthier. Thank you for listening to my speech.

How to Draw a Monster-by Jerry

Whenever I feel bored, I like to draw. My favorite thing to draw is a monster. Monsters are fun to draw because you can be creative. There are no rules and every monster looks different.

The first thing you need to do is get a pencil and a piece of paper. You can’t draw your monster in the air or the wall. No one will believe you are using “invisible ink.” And, who would be scared of a monster you can’t even see? You are now ready to begin drawing your monster. The first thing you will draw is the body. You need to pick which shape the monsters body will be. Will it be a circle, a square, a triangle, or a rectangle like this? The body needs to be big if you want it to be truly frightening. Monsters should tower over people. The next thing you need to draw is the head or heads. Every monster needs a head. It doesn’t matter if it is big or small. You should draw more than one head. This is even scarier because if the monster catches you, it can use three mouths to eat you, not just one. This brings me to my next point, you need to draw at least one mouth on each head. The mouth should have very pointy teeth. You can make sharp teeth by drawing very narrow triangles close together. You now need to complete the head which means drawing the eyes. The eyes should be big and yellow. They can even have many red veins. This will make you think that the monster is crazy or he is so tired from looking for more people to eat. If the monster did catch you, it would need arms to keep you from running away. The more arms the better! You should draw anywhere from 3 arms to 10. The arms can be different lengths and sizes. Now, each arm needs a hand equipped with sharp nails to scratch you with. Your monster is now ready to catch and eat you, but it can’t run. It can only roll and it can’t roll very fast. Finally, you need to draw legs. The legs should be large and strong to help the monster run quicker and further. Your monster is now finished and ready to make someone cry!

In conclusion, drawing different monsters can keep you from feeling bored. Plus, it’s always fun to scare someone. Thank you for listening to my speech.
