台灣的夏天

這次我想要練習寫中文。我們最近學過很多新的文法跟生詞，不過我可能寫得不對。

最近幾個月，溫度越來越高。雖然我不少覺得太陽好大和天氣好熱，但是我平常戴帽子和裡面平常開冷氣，所以沒有問題。上個週末颱風來了，可是對我來說，台南的天氣跟平常的比起來，颱風來的時候天氣差不多一樣。比較冷一點，也颳風颳得大一點。台北跟另外北部的城市有真的颱風。不知道下次颱風要來台灣的時候天氣怎麼樣。

上個禮拜一和二，我去安平國中教怎麼騎獨輪車。四十個很認真的學生。除了我以外，別的兩個老師也在幫助。一些學生學會騎獨輪車，有的學會丟球。看起來學生大部份喜歡我的課。我覺得很好玩，也很喜歡他們送給我的禮物。禮物前面一位老師話我跟聖誕老公公，學生在後面寫他們的名字。謝謝安平國中給我這個機會。

中文課

我很喜歡我新的小班跟同學。暑學期的學生比另外學期的多。所以在很多課，像太極課，正音課什麼的，學生很多。我最近碰到另外一個挪威學生跟瑞典學生，可是他們夏天以後再離開台灣。這個禮拜我要開始上台語課，每個禮拜上兩堂課。我覺得泰語聽起來很有趣，所以想要試試看學。應為最近發生了的一些事情，我更想要留在台灣到明年三月。計劃是好好地學中文。

Summer in Taiwan

The temperature have continued to increase the last months. I usually wear a hat to protect against the sun, and also turn on air condition when indoors. Last week we were all informed about the coming typhoon. Friday night the wind increased, but all in all the typhoon didn't really hit us here south on the island. Reports from Taipei and the cities up north says they had a rough weekend. Even though we had some rain in Tainan as well this weekend, it was nothing more than what I've become used to. I wonder how it will be next time a typhoon comes.

Last week I went to a Municipal Anping Junior Highschool to teach kids there how to ride a unicycle. I taught 40 students for two days, one hour each day. They were hardworking students, and some of them take the unicycle for a little ride in the end of the second day. I'm proud of them. I also taught them some juggling, and we had a lot of fun. After saying goodbye to the students, the school gave me a diploma and a drawing with the student's signatures on the backside. It made me so happy, and it's a great memory that's now decorating the wall in my room.

Chinese classes

My new class and classmates are great. There's more students at the language center during the summer session, so there is also more participants in the elective classes than what I'm used to. I've met another norwegian and a swedish guy, but they will only stay for the summer. Later this week I'll start 1 on 1 Taiwanese class. Taiwanese sounds very interesting, and so I hope to learn some practical basics during the coming 8 weeks. Things have happened recently that makes me want to stay until next year even more. So I better keep up practising what we learn every day, as it won't become easier with time ;)
