Nice to meet you, frankie. I am grad to make a friend who is from Taiwan. Please call me Ayumi.
Are there some seasons in Taiwan? In Japan, there are 4 seasons,winter ,spring , summer and autum. My most favorite season is spring, because we can see a lot of beautiful flowers. Most beautiful flower is cherry blossoms.Do you know this flower? This flower is Japanese symbol. If you come to Japan, I recommend that you come here at the beginning of April. You would see a lot of cherry blossoms.

What is your special subject of your study in university? Do you have a dream? I want to know about yourself and your country

Hello, ayumi, frankie is back! I am glad to receive your message so quickly! Yes, there are also four seasons in taiwan, and each one has its characteristic. I am not sure which one is my favorite season. Spring is the time plants start to grow and thrive, and everything is going back to its position, and a lot of tree and plant will be blossom at this time, like you said, cherry blossom, how beautiful it is. Summer means lot of fun, you can go swimming, sunbathing and lots of interesting activities. Fall let me think of the Happy mid-autumn festival, which is the important festival in our chinese calendar! We often have a happy beginning at the fall. Winter is the time many families go back and get reunion. I think maybe i like summer much more!

Thanks for your brief introduction for your country, i like it. About my major, it's criminology, do you know about it? I choose it for my major beacause i like psychology. Human is a very interesting topic for me. How about my english ability so far? Not bad, right! This is my last year in school, i am going to graduate ,and i feel so nervous because i don't have any confident of myself. I don' t study very hard, but i will keep improving. I will take national exams and our english text or TOEFL in this last year or after graduation. I come from a normal and not rich family, my family is harmony and happy. I am first child in my family and i have two sibling. I am a optimistic boy, friendly, and like to help people. Reading and exercise are my enthusiasm, that is all about my personal ads. If you wanna know other things, tell to me.

Taiwan once was a beautiful island in the world, like the portuguese called, formosa, which means the beautiful and green island, but it changes a lot due to the blamed industry and unethical people. Not long ago our government started to notice it and did a lot of helps to save our environment. Although the news said there're a lot of pollutions, it's still a good place to go. I feel a little sad, ok, that is all, have a good day. Wait for your reply!

Thank you ,frankie! You are majour is very interesting. I think that phychology is very important for 21st century because a lot of people have mental problems.
As for me, my major is English. But I also take other classes for my refinement. history, bussiness computing, philosophy, art etc・・・・・

I also worry about environment. I love nature ,so I really want to protect our planet. Personally, I think that education is the most important to solve such a problem. I would like to be a educator.
In Taiwan, is there a popular job among young people? In Japan, many girls hanker for a flight attendant. Boys , especially children , wish to be a baseball player,Maybe・・

Actually, I have a colledge campus festival in next month. I am going to sing a song this time. So, I'm very busy recently because of practice for festival and study.
I have a SAT test this weekend , so I can not reply your or others ' message immediately. But next week I will come back here
Have a nice weekend!!!See you later!!!!!

Hello, ayumi:
Frankie is back again! Glad to hear from you again. And for your Q, i think the boys' favorite job is the computer engineer, as you know, the computer is the most handsome technology nowadays. For the girl, i think maybe media or national job. And for me, i think i would like to find a job related about the language someday. This is my passion.

And what is the SAT? Is it the english test? I don't know about it, please tell me. Yes, you are right, more education will let the environment more beautiful! More eduacation will bring more ethical people! I hope so!

Becides, Do you still wanna contact with me in this website? How about let's change to use email? Both is ok for me, but i never contact with a friend here, i am a little bit excited!

Have a nice festival, ayumi! Do you know our national day(double tens) is going to come in this sunday, i am so happy because there will be the firework display near our school, i haven't watch the firework for a long time since i am little. I would like to go if time is free. It must be crowded with a great amount of people over there! And the firework display will take at least one hour, i think!

School is ok now, i have to review a lot of book and read a lot of new material this semester. Look like i will be very busy. I will go jogging later after i send this mail.

In taiwan we don't have the woman university, i am curious about your school. All are coeducation, but i know we have the boy and girl senior high schools. I never went to single gender school, it must be a big different from the coeducation. How do you feel about them? But i think the coeducation is better than the single gender! Ok that is all, wait for you mail, seeya!
