And I have learnt more cooking methods too. I like the process of doing and acting the video, I enjoy it very much. I think I have to improve my grammar more so that there won't be any mistake next time.

an online recipe for a dish that I am interested in making for the food fair

The address of the food recipe is http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_36824,00.html?rsrc=like
I think the most important word is combine. By using contextual analysis, the key sentence: is the egg yolk mixture and whisk. By using morphemic analysis, the word 'combine' can be defined into two parts, they are com and bine. The 'com' is mean with or together and the 'bi' in 'bine' is mean two. By using phonemic analysis, I can think the word 'come' immediately.
I choose this word because the recipe won't write the word 'mix' or 'put the things together' all the time, so we have to learn the word that they always use to explain to put things together. And that word is 'combine'.

Kids Who Are Picky Eaters

I browse that there are two words that are comments. They are researchers and investigate. They are the words related to research.
I think I am not a picky eater because I eat many kinds of things, but I don't like to eat goose and duck. It is because I don't like the smell of them.

Correction of vocabulary

The three words are architect, presidents and sculptor. It is because they are the jobs for people

vocabulary

The three words are architect, digest and sculptor. It is because they are the jobs for people

the most important word in the article which the class should learn

I think the most important word is antiquities. It is important because we always use the word 'old' to describe something that is in the past. I think the word 'old' is not the only one that can describe the thing in the past. There is the new word 'antiquities' is also a word that we can use. So in the next time, we do not need to have the word 'old' in the most of the article.

Tell me about a wonder in Hong Kong

I know many famous wonders in Hong Kong. But I want to introduce the one that I like the most and I think it is the most famous. It is the Tsing Ma Bridge. it is beacuse it has 2.2 kilometer long, high 6.2 meter, the bridge tower high 206 meter. In night, the colourful light bulb will light on and it look like the bridge that we only can see in the fairy tales. And it is the longest suspension bridge in the world for both road and rail traffic and therefore receiving the '10 major architectural. achievement awards of the 20th century'. So I will choose it to be the ninth wonder of the world.

Tell you about a hobby

I have a lot of hobbies, but the most I like is listening to pop music. It is because I can't live without music. I will get vexed and perturbed. I like to listen to every kinds of music, such as: hip pop, hippy, sentimental or rock etc. I listen to Taiwan pop music most. It is because Taiwan is so adore music. It has many really good singers in Taiwan. They can sing, dance and dress up very nice. And I have listened the song of Avril lavigne. I think her music have a explosive force and attractive power. It makes people want to listen all of them.
This is my hobby, how about you, Mr. Woo?
