(1) 老師對於過去兩個星期都沒有更新這個部落格感到非常抱歉，老師會努力改進這一點。
I am sorry that I didn't update this blogger in the past 2 weeks. I will improve this.
I am sorry that I didn't update this blogger in the past 2 weeks. I will improve this.
(2) 因為這堂課的名稱是「中國社會」，所以老師在課堂中和部落格上會使用較多的中文，但是，老師也會盡量讓講義、課堂中的投影片、及部落格上的內容都是雙語的。請同學們不要害怕使用中文或是在使用中文上犯錯。你使用得越多，你中文說和寫的能力都會大大進步喔！
I will try more Chinese in the class and in my blogger, for the title of this course is Chinese Social Studies. However, I will try to make everything bilingual, including handouts, powerpoint in the class, and the content in the blogger. Please don't be afraid to use Chinese and don't be afraid to make mistake when you use it. The more you try, the better you speak and write.

(3)今天老師用老師家中最可愛的成員「皮蛋」作今天上課的總結，希望有讓這一堂課比較有趣一點點，但重點是，希望大家可以了解到：人都是需要有安全感、歸屬感、及認同感的。這些的感受都必須是要在團體中生活才能得到，因此期許同學們都能夠保有一顆正面而開放的心，在不同的團體中找到自己的定位和成就感，請你務必要試試看！
Today, I concluded the course with my cute pet. I hope she did make things more interesting in my class. However, the main point is, you need to know that the senses of recognition, achievement, and security are something necessary in your life. You can get them by participating different groups in your life. Therefore, I hope you will participate in many groups with positive and open-minded attitudes. In this way, you will find the place you really belong to. Just give it a try.
