The curriculum topic for the fourth week of the Summer English Program was "Check, Please! Eating Around the World." The unit focused on eating in restaurants, types of restaurants, American versus Taiwanese restaurants, and healthy/unhealthy foods. Their vocabulary words included: formal dining, fast food, hot pot, street vendor, four-course meal, buffet, menu, reservation, and specials. 
The students also learned about how to politely complain in a restaurant when there is a problem with either the food or the service. Many "food idioms" were also introduced, such as: pig out, cool as a cucumber, out of this world, and your eyes were bigger than your stomach!

On Monday, Mr. Shih treated the teachers and teaching assistants to a Japanese lunch at the restaurant called Song John Teen. Much delicious food was ordered and eaten!
On Thursday, July 24, the San Sin students presented their PBL (Project-Based Learning) projects in the 7th floor auditorium. Principal Lin spoke to the students, saying that he is sure that they learned a lot of English during the Summer Program. Dr. O'Kon spoke to the students and told them that doing the PBL projects is a great opportunity to show how much they have learned. The American teachers and Ellie Fussell served as judges for the PBL projects.
There were 15 group projects, and each related to one of the curriculum themes covered in the Summer Program. The groups that will receive awards for their projects will be announced at the Closing Ceremony on Friday!
