  ??????????1.??2.??(????50)?????????1.????
  2.???3.???4.????5.????6.????7.????

Major Argument?

• --JCEE serves the need of ordinary students who
  do not have special interest on specific subject,
  while recommended program provides a broader
  chance for those students who have exact interest
  and goal on certain type of field in their
  future.
• If they were shy and feel nervous while facing
  people, JCEE would be a way for them. But if they
  were outgoing and have some special talent as
  well as concrete direction toward their life, I
  believe recommended program would be the best
  system for them.

Possible Problems

• Subjective elements in none-JCEE ways
• Recommendation Letter
• Non-Academic Records (contest awards)
• Appearance and Oral performances
• Traditional Exam
• One Exam decides all
• Spreading ones efforts in all the subjects.

Meaningful conclusion

• 1. Differences between MSN and ICQ
• MSN looks better and provides more emoticon,
• ICQ has more meaningful features
• ? ICQ more popular
• 2. TPR and Direct Method
• Compared in terms the way body is used, the role
  of native language and relationship between
  teacher and student? The best teaching method
  would be the one that combine all methods
  according to different topics, functions or
  content.

12
Air mail and email

  time and e-mail is updated, both airmail and
  email have its own advantages and disadvantages,
  and these two forms are actually complementary.

• real object. vs. invisible form ? which one can
  be kept? Environmental issue?

13
Two songs

• I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor

• Survivor by Destinys Child

14

• In the beginning of the lyrics, Gloria Gaynor
  sings first I was afraid, I was petrified, kept
  thinking I could never live without you in my
  liveI grew strong and Destinys Child sing,
  you thought that Id be weak without you but Im
  stronger. As we can see, the word strong
  appears in both songs here. The characters in the
  lyrics thought they were helpless and could not
  go on with their lives. However, they became
  tougher emotionally and learned how to move on
  (Kept thinking I could never live without you by
  my sideI learned how to carry on and Thought
  that I would self-destruct but Im still here).
