吃飯了!

最近經濟不景氣，大家都不敢花大錢。周年慶打得火熱，只有乾瞪眼的份。心中的不滿只能用"吃"來化悲憤為力量。上周去了[勺勺客]，吃了個大飽，感覺很滿足。So, 聽過、去過這家"陜西菜館嗎？ If you did, give me your comments. 價位中等，適合1人、2人、3人.....多人同去。Melissa覺得值得推薦的菜─岐山臊子麵[p.s.它的麵都蠻好吃,but if this is your first time─點這麵就對]、葫蘆頭泡馍、酸嗆土豆絲(=potato, but 就是比別家好吃)、and my favorite desserts:奶香小饅頭(=炸小小銀絲捲淋上煉乳=very tasty), and 蒙古炸奶豆腐(又稱蒙古包。內餡像是cheese,　but需預訂)。還有很多稀奇古怪的菜餚。如果人少、預算少，點少一點或便宜一點的菜；如果人多、預算多，點多一點或貴一點的菜。這就是我喜歡這裡的原因。吃完了正餐，再來個甜點───This is life.

喜歡喝下午茶/咖啡?

前陣子經過忠孝東路的一條不知名的小巷子(因為走錯路)，而意外發現了一間咖啡店，裡面人山人海(好像有點誇張)。Anyway，從外面看進去，它的食物的香味、氣氛、燈光、甚至客人的笑聲、談話聲，都很吸引我。我想我又要破費了。令人驚訝的是，它的一切超出我想像得好。食物(我點了鬆餅、咖啡)很不錯。如果有人去過一間super有名的店-米朗琪，就可以想像兩者的餐點飲料幾乎不分軒至。更好的是，它的杯具非常特別，連茶匙都是一組。整體（加裝璜、waiters/waitresses）都顯示老闆頗用心。 想去嗎?先準備錢喔！飲料非35 dollars, more than 100. 最低消費為90 dollars. It's called "Coffee Alley." 不曉得是否會有打廣告嫌疑，所以在此先不公佈住址。如有興趣，請來找我。如果有同好者，知道或去過不錯、很好的咖啡店，請來分享你的意見，好嗎?

A little lazy way to practice English

I would like to know what kinds of things you listen to at home to practice your English listening? Do you prefer to listen to radio broadcasts or podcasts? Or, do you prefer to watch television programs or movies? Myself, I prefer watching movies on TV because I'm poor, busy, and a little lazy. What about all of you?

It's my pleasure to have this opportunity to communicate with students. If you have any questions you want to ask, please do. I'd like to know if you think my classes are challenging enough.
