Bread Festival: You Are My Sugar

 Written By: ???  Edited By: ???, ???, ???

This year, Yuan Ze University’s Bread Festival fell on October 28. “Sweet in the Heart” is the theme. On this day, students can not only use rolls to express their feelings but help with charity. 

The main idea of the Bread Festival is for students to spread their affection. Students are usually busy with exams and reports. This festival offers them opportunities to express their thoughts and emotions. On that special day, both male and female dormitories are allowed to visit during a limited time period. Apart from this, there will be an event with food sampling and club performances. All of these are meant to help students fit in at school, interact with each other, and even set up a transnational exchange.

For every roll sold during the festival, the school will donate 5 NTD to local charity, the World Vision Taiwan. This year, approximately 3000 rolls were sold during the Bread Festival. Yuan Ze University has already held the Bread Festival for 21 years. Students have created some implicit meanings for different rolls. For example, the meaning of a heart-shaped chocolate cake is, “To Show My Love for You”, a donut means, “You Are My Sugar” and the croissant is to say “Hey! Do Not Split Hairs.” These deeper meanings are interesting and people will have a better understanding of the Bread Festival.

All in all, Bread Festival is a significant festival for students to express their feelings, turning affection into action. Whether it is about love or public good, people can send their affection through the festival, and improve society by involving in charity work.

Chen Ru-Yu, a student of Shih Hsin University won the second place for advertising in the renowned
Prix de la Photography Paris. Chen connects sweets with daily life. She thinks sweets can make people feel good, that is why she choose sweets as her theme. The fascinating idea of the artwork offers her the opportunity to stand out from other competitors. This is an impressive achievement for Shih Hsin and herself.

The idea of “Candy Hide and Seek”, her award-winning artwork, was inspired by our daily life. The idea that she turns daily objects into sweets makes the picture interesting. When we take a closer look, we can find out that there are some sweets hiding in the picture, it is  not paint but skittles are squished out of the tube! Chen uses high-contrast colors to structure the picture, creating a strong sense of conflict. Chen’s professionalism in photography helps her create such a special picture.   

           Chen’s award proves that she is creative and brilliant. She makes Shih Hsin University proud. There are many professional photographers in Taiwan, from Shih Hsin University. “This is because Shih Hsin is the pioneer of professional photography, and we have the best courses for it”, said the Chair of Graphic Arts Communication in Shih-Hsin. In the future, there will be more competitors from Shih Hsin University to enter international competitions.

Chen Ru-Yu sets a good example for us. Her story encourages us to take part in various competitions, showing our talent. It is not only an opportunity to prove our talent but also a good way to show how well we have been educated by Shih Hsin University.

What Can We Learn as a Student in the times of the Pandemic?

By Ciou Peiyi

Since the covid-19 spread out the whole world, most of country seems like paused time. But not include Taiwan. It is so lucky that we still can keep our life pace as usual. And as a student, it is also important that obverse what happened in our campus. So today will explore what we can see from our campus after the outbreak of covid-19.

Though we have related politics against school, it still hard to make sure if your classmate, your teacher, even your roommate have confirmed. In this situation, our campus take precaution immediately, they arrange teacher or security officer to every entrance, and they will take your body temperature first, if it have nothing problem, that they will stamp on your skin. It is like a gate pass to prove that you are safe and healthy that are allowed to go into campus. And they asked everyone to wear their mask than they can enter the class. The college also decline every person who is not the school’s student to enter. In many kind of precaution like this, our school survived in this pandemic. But we still not safe completely if Covid-19 have not finish yet. We still need to make sure the mask is wore, hands are cleaned, our mindset is still keep alert.

We can active if we wear our mask, but it is still nervous when someone cough or sneeze next to you. How do we know he or she is not in incubation period? It makes people panic. Without even saying that always someone sneeze when they were not wear mask. So, the school’s manner is separate us on the class as much as possible. We may have to sit next to vacant seat, and it called ‘Plum Blossom seat’. It is not only apply on class or school, it can be seen in theater or any kind of large social area.

We have better situation to make our life still can ran as usual, but we still have to prepare for the worst scene. During the semester, teachers tried to find a application that can have class online. At the beginning, most of teachers tried to trust a application called ’Zoom’, but the application, just totally disappointing everyone who trusted it, it pointed out that may steal every information you give to it, and send back to the headquarters in Beijing and convenient for everything awful. In a hand, the covid-19 makes our lifestyle more closer to internet. But on the other hand, it is more problems that we need to be careful and avoid.

If You Are A Student Here, Will You Accept It?

By Ciou Peiyi

It’s a very confusing year all over, our university is not exceptional. We can’t tell if it is good or not, but only can observe for now. During this semester, it happened many things, today we can organizing several things that matters to share with you. And letting people more realize what situation our college have now.

In June 2020, Our school decided to renovation of research room, and recording to their explanation, they are planning to turn the research room into reading room. After this news, the graduate students of our university felt disrespected, they reacted to the Student Union first, so the Student Union proposed to school to hold a public hearing meeting so that can collect students’ thought. But the Vice-Chancellor answer them’ there is no need to do that.’ And refuse their suggest. This action caused the dissatisfaction of most graduate students.

At the beginning, graduate students were tried to use proper process to protest the behavior of school. As of June 29th ago, 600 people had signed up to ask the school, pause the works and listen to students opinions. And also disclose the decision-making process and project-related information. Although the school stopped the projects for a while, their announce statement tried to indicate students just want to exclusive the research room and force school to compromise with students imply. This makes students rage about them, so the students they started to took various way to protest, but it doesn’t make things better, the school are tearing the research room down during this summer vacation.

Another thing makes students furious is about the graduation certificate, when school distributes graduation certificates of this year’s graduates, they use clear holders with Shih Hsin University’s logo to cover the graduation certificate, but not traditional hard material packaging. But in most of students thoughts, the graduation certificate not just a sheet to prove our graduated, but also means a sense of honor. No one wants that if they show their graduation certificate to friends or company in the future, they only have a L folder to show everyone.

We love this place and this school, but sometimes school policy will makes people feel disappointed and frustrated. But we still holding our hope to school, so that we are trying to keep watching every movement from the school.

The Orientation for an Explanation of the English Department’s New Name

 

By Hsu Hsin I 

The English Department in Shih Hsin University had been planning to rename itself into The Department of English and Applied Communication since last year. People can not live without the Internet. Our heavy dependence on computer programs and smartphone apps proves that it is already something inseparable from our life. We have to spend time studying both language and communication in order to make the most of the Internet resources. By emphasizing both language and communication educations, we plan to enhance our competitive advantage on the job market.

However, biting off more than we can chew is not the way to enhance our competitive advantage. We are living in the Google Age, everyone can go online and find information they need. What make it an academic burden on our shoulders? Maybe focusing on communication is a better idea? Since as English majors, we are aware that language is a tool for communication and a tool to record all human traces in the development of civilization. For such significance of language, students should gain sufficient knowledge of language through intensive programs. Possibly, we need more professional literature courses to gain a good command of language.

The renaming act means certain impact on our future career. If we plan to start advanced studies, it will be very challenging to find matching field of study. If we plan to put ourselves on the job market, employers will expect us to be like a communication information management major, instead of an English major. Whatever the case, it is really up to everyone of us to have a say about whether renaming is a good idea or not.

Love Comes in Lessons

Studies of Relationships and Love Life have been a featured filed of the Department of Social Psychology of Shih Hsin University. Not only were researches held but also lectures and conferences were delivered as to benefit as many as possible. They believe that the study of love is to maximize the good and minimize the bad of love in reality.

This coming semester, the Department of Social Psychology is again promoting a new project: The Love Auditorium--a jointed project of lectures conducted by a different lecturer each week on a subject concerning a certain form of love/relationship. So far, we learn that the English Department is commissioned to deliver two: one on flirtation and the other on sologamy. Yes, you heard me right. The first is about the gray area where people enjoy themselves most in uncertainty and the second is about the clear area where people devote themselves to their lives in certain solitude.

In addition to the two topics, there will be a great number of other topics like BL, Gay Marriage, Digital Love...to name only a few. What would be an interesting topic to you? I hope you'll find your poison in the wide selection provided by them.

I truly believe that love works in a mysterious way that denies scientific descriptions and logical suggestions, but when we talk about it or when we listen to people talk about it, we then come to better understanding of its complexity and diversity. Thus we get to prepare ourselves to make the most of it, to enjoy ourselves in it, and to mature with our loved ones enriching it.

When people say relationship is a required credit to take in college life, they mean it figuratively; when the Department of Social Psychology says so, they mean it literally. So, log in your course account before school in session, and sign up for love, love, and love!!

Students Fly Rainbow Pride Flag at SHU

                                                                                                                      By Bamboo Chen

A rainbow flag, a symbol of gay pride, appeared as the façade of the centered building on campus of Shih Hsin University (SHU) after the referendum on marriage equality reforms in November 2018.

After the elections and referendum, people who support same-sex marriage were disappointed by the results. Their hopes have been overtaken by anxiety and fears as Taiwan votes on marriage equality mounted by anti-gay rights opponents. Therefore, students from the Graduate Institute of Gender Studies at SHU decided to put up a rainbow flag hanging down from the said building on campus.

On Thursday, November 29th, the group of students used six large strips of cloth in different colors to make a rainbow flag and attached them to one side of the centered building, the She-Wo Building. People passing by would surely stop for the eye-catching view and mostly take a selfie with the flying colors of the LGBT pride. On December 3rd, the school asked the students to take down the flag for they did not submit their application for demonstration or public display of symbolic language. But the students soon put the flag back on the following day and filed an application immediately the day after.

The students said that they want to the rainbow flag up there to be seen until the end of the semester. They hope to show their support to gay community, the spirit of love, and mutual  respect among people around the world. They asserts that they will not give up until the day when gender equality is truly achieved. However, the flag was taken down again on December 14th. The school disapproved their application and asked them to take the flag down after their meeting with the students. The school explains that now there are no relevant regulations and hanging flags or anything on buildings at will may leave others with a negative impression of SHU.

Despite many difficulties, the group of students who launched to hoist the gay-pride flag are still striving for their right to speech and symbolic language. They invite everyone at SHU to wear or to bring something that stands for the symbol of gay pride to show their support before the school offers its agreement. Although when the flag will be put up again remains an unknown question, it is certain that people who believe in love and equal rights are making their efforts in their own ways.

Sober (Writing Contest, Poetry, 1st Place)

新聞四乙 陳明憲

They said,
Being sober doesn't seem good as
It made me think of us
Once a bliss
And now turns to dirt and dust

They said,
Being sober doesn't seem good as
I realise how melancholic my life is
Once in its glories
And now turns to rust

I said,
Being sober do seem good as
it is an armour, a mask and claims
"I'm all fine. Thanks."
Concealing my emotions, in vast

They said,
I need to let go and move on as
this is part of our lives
But my incentive to move on is
the reminiscences of the past

Endless (Writing Contest, Poetry, 2nd Place)

英語二乙 周欣倫

You are my first eye

But I forget

As time goes by

All the complex memory

Stretch a key and open the box

Remind me that I’m your destiny

To leave

Or not to leave

I choose to live

To proof I’m braver than you

I promise I will guard your soul forever

Just like our mind well knowing long and last

The First SHU Mandarin Speech Contest

   This year, we are having our Mandarin speech contest for the very first time. Held and hosted by the Center for Teaching Chinese as a Second Language (henceforth referred to as the TCSL Center), one of the youngest departments and certainly the most exuberant on campus, the contest took place at R102 of the Sherwo Building (舍我樓) on May 30th. 17 contestants on five topics speak on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon. Each with a different learning experience and a different level of proficiency yet all deliver impressive talks on “A Taste of Taiwan,” “Fun to Learn Chinese,” “Traveling in Taiwan,” “My Favorite Book,” and “I Loooove Taiwan! Why?”

   Each speaker has to make the most of their five-minute time slot to share their opinions and experiences on the topics they choose for themselves. After one and a half hours of competition, three judges decide on five winners:

1st Place: 溫慧怡 (Malay)

2nd Place: 鄭依淳 (Malay)

3rd Place: 戴慈殷 (Malay)

4th Place: 安心蕊 (Polish)

5th Place: 武藤祐太 (Japanese)

Of course, there are never enough prizes to go around for devoted and competent (and some are very competitive too) competitors like them.

   Now, a word from the Director of the TCSL Center, Professor Shirley Chang (張雪媃主任) to wrap up the first-time-ever Mandarin Speech Contest. “I’ve been teaching for years, but it has always been so moving for me to see such a progress made from ground zero to fluency, to see the transition of students as beginners to advanced learners. I believe, for any teach, this is the most rewarding of all.”

   Indeed, there is a telling difference between speaking nothing and speaking something. And, for that matter, maybe it is a better idea that we have two separate categories next year: the non-native-speaker contest for students outside Sinophone communities and the native-speaking-level contest for students from Sinophone communities. Nationality alone doesn’t seem to do much justice to the fairness of the game. And yet, like all achievements, without the significant first step, all improvements that finally lead on to fruition would be impossible.

The Problems of Course Selection

The Problems of

Course Selection

By Jill Tsai

     

   In the beginning of this semester, some senior students of English department might experience a huge problem. The problem was that all required courses are capped. And, even if you signed up for all, the computer system still kick you out of all waiting lists when all openings are taken. Unlike students of the first three years, seniors only need to choose one required course out of the following three: Consecutive Interpretation, English for MICE (Meeting, Incentive travel, Convention, and Exhibition), and Research Methodology: Linguistics and TESOL. Of course, all students should at least take eight credits each semester, including seniors. The thing is that, since the computer system for course registry runs a random-selection system, some seniors can have more than one and some end up having none.

        A new rule was set up for this semester: a senior student can only sign up for one required course. This, however, did not help, for this rule was set up without corresponding adjustment done to the computer system. You can still sign up for more and people did so. The old problem stay: some successfully signed up for more than needed and some got none. The class is capped when all its openings are taken, as always; the computer system runs its random-selection wheel of fortune likewise. In order to deal with this problem, the English Department Office noticed students who had successfully signed up for more than one required course to waive the extra.

        This is not only ineffective but also time-consuming. Furthermore, it might be hard for them to give up any courses they find interesting. To avoid the same problem in the ensuing semester, the Office asked every senior to submit a list of their preferred courses at the end of this semester. And then, by allotting the openings to secure one required course for every senior student, the Office managed to solve the problem. Yet, some senior students might have to take courses they do not favor. Perhaps the faculty should take the students’ feedbacks before it makes any decision that concerns the students so greatly; perhaps there should be a better computer system for course selection.

SHU Funding: Money Well Spent?

By Crystal Yao

    As this semester first started, students came back to the campus noticing a few changes. For example, a few new changes in the student restaurant, fancy Dyson hand dryers in the restrooms, and fewer adjunct teachers around. Some of the changes started a heated discussion among students. Any decisions of alternation about the school cost money, but are those adjustments really necessary? Or do they just feed the vanity of the school instead of furthering students’ interests?

  One of the things widely complained by students and teachers in the beginning of the semester was that the number of General-Education Courses (通識課程; hereafter as GE courses or GE) has dwindled and the teachers of GE courses, as a result, had to receive more students into their classes to cope. The reason for such dwindling is that a number of GE teachers, adjunct and uninsured, were laid off. The Ministry of Education stipulated a regulation on June 2017, deciding that all universities should include adjunct teachers for their insurance programs, labor and health. Such extended insurance programs certainly mean more expenses--for adjunct teachers, now like full-time teachers, are to be covered by the same insurance programs paid by the school--unless they have full-time jobs elsewhere and therefore covered by programs otherwise provided for. For that matter, Shih Hsin let go of 40-ish teachers who did not have full-time jobs elsewhere to pay for their insurances. This movement effected not only those adjunct teachers but also students and professors who teach general education courses. Students have harder time trying to get their spots in one general education class, and the professors have to expend their classes to take in more students. Students and faculties cannot help but wonder if the school really do not have enough funding to pay for the insurance for 40-ish teachers.

  Another surprise that the students notice when they came back to school is that the fancy hand dryers in R building’s restrooms. One thing we are sure of is that the school is definitely generous about the hygiene of students. However, is it really cost-effective? One Dyson hand dryer cost around 40,000 NTD, and they are installed from the ground floor to the top, both in male and female restrooms. Plus, most of the students do not even use hand dryers after they wash their hands. We sent our report out to the campus to ask some students about their opinion on the school funding. Here is the report from our reporter, Crystal:

  We interviewed some students and get their thoughts on what do they expect when choosing courses. First, of course we all need to earn enough credit to graduate. Second, some student said that some courses will give them number of transferable skills in the future. Third, they choose the subject because they know it'll lead to a career. Did our school really let their students choose the course they want or just ignore students’ needs? Let’s look at the chart below.

  

  School should provide different kinds of courses for not only teachers to teach but also let students to learn the subject they want to learn. In the chart we can see that 75% students are dissatisfied about our class selection. Is there any possibility for Shih Hsin university to change the system? We hope more students will be satisfied with the courses in the near future.

  We interview some students from our department:

Crystal: What do you think about our university spending money on Dyson brand hand dryers?

Coco: I think school should spend more money on our course selection, like more teachers and courses, not on the things that students seldom use. School should provide more courses for us to take.

Crystal: Hi guys! What do you think about our university spend our money on Dyson hand dryers? And our class selection, did you guys got the courses you wanted?

Vanessa: Hand dryer sucks!!!! I don’t understand that why we should use a hand dryer that cost over ten thousand dollars? I won’t even use it.

Grace: My course sucks also. I woke up early to select the courses I wanted. But I got nothing. I chose many different courses and the result came out to be zero. Some of my classmates even got more than they needed.

Vanessa: Yeah! I needed the courses, or I can’t graduate! School does not even care if I can graduate or not! I pay for almost fifty thousand dollars to come here and learn but I learned nothing that I needed to learn.

Crystal: I can tell that you guys are angry about this issue. Sorry to hear that.

  Perhaps the school board should listen to the voices from students and faculties more before they make important decisions that will affect everyone. It is good to upgrade facilities and hardware so that students and teachers can have a better environment. However, the basic needs of students and teachers should always be attended first, otherwise, schools will be nothing but an empty title without the supports from their foundation—the students.

Yvette’s Selected Pearls -- From Jocasta to Oedipus

英一甲 林于竣

     If you are reading this letter that means I have already received the punishment that I deserve. Oedipus, you are known as my husband, but in fact, the infant that I gave birth to several years ago. The infant with the prophecy that would kill his own father and marry his mother. I believe the plague upon our kingdom is a punishment from the gods because of our unforgivable behavior, incest and unfilialness. I can no longer bear with this accusation in my life. Now that I have left for another world, marry someone legitimate, rule the kingdom with kindness and justice. May the God forgive us.

 

英一甲 劉松穎

 Dear Oedipus,

I understand that we can’t avoid the destiny settled by Gods.
We can be together no matter the gender or ages. However, you are my son! That is totally different. I even had babies with you. I really can’t stand how shameful it was. Your father and I tried to avoid the fate, but it seems that there’s no way. Oh! My dear son! Please forgive me for making this decision.  Whenever I thought about the shame I felt gross and disgusted, so please let me go. I guess this is farewell, my son.

Your mother, Jocasta

圖傳二甲 秦川

To Oedipus:

    My son, Oedipus, on the day you were born the very oracle at Delphi from the great Apollo had predicted your destiny already.  We mortals naively think that we can conquer our fate or fear, which only leads to our being trapped into the fear as well as the pain much further.  Only at the end of my pathetic life do I realize that, how weak and how lonely we humans are on this planet.

    I want to apologize to you, and your tragically murdered father.
    Oedipus, my beloved son, the unfortunate consequence of me and your father King Laius, abandoned in your infancy, I beg your forgiveness with infinite regret from the bottom of my heart.  It is the fate that pushes you back to me and makes us intimate again.  But today, I cannot accept the reality, more like a lie to some extent even though it combines us together so tightly again.

    And dear Laius, my husband, our fear to the death was so great that even misled us to leave our own flesh and blood in the forest mercilessly, however, brought termination to ourselves.  Alas!  Our narrow souls which were blinded by the unknown are finally punished.  The consequence we shall suffer, and ironically it is how the fate rules us all.

    And I deeply apologize to my four other children also.  You will lose your mother, grandmother as well, at such a young age. Hope you four will earn a bright future and can grow up strongly with honor, glory and blessing rather than the dreadful curse on you.  All your mournful mother can do now is gives you her best wishes.

    My soul is tortured, suffering.  And it is the only way for me to release the misery by ending my shameful, humble life with my own hands.  So, please don’t blame yourself, my son, for you know the only fault is mine.  Meanwhile I will face the result caused by my fault directly and peacefully.  My life comes to an end, and at last, as a parent and wife I beg you to take care of yourselves in the following days or years.

Endless sorrow,
Jocasta

Upon Graduation: Voices of Youth

copyright: Eng. Dept., SHU

 by Lydia Weng

     With the coming of the graduation season comes our annual theatrical performance to feast the eyes. Yes, the English Dept.’s play of the year. This year, seniors started from the group up by writing their own play—Voices of Youth.

     The story begins from a new semester at college where a transferred student swooped in to inspire a new attitude to celebrate their graduation and a new way to stage a performance. Chloe, the transferred student, a hard-working and all-A student, is secretly nicknamed the “Creepy Nerd” by her classmates. What’s more, her relationship with one of her classmates, Michelle, triggers people’s curiosity. People often guess and gossip about it, without knowing their relationship would be thought-provoking and lead us to think about our life journeys.

     Other characters also play out our different phases in life. Characters like William and Captain Red remind us of our dreams when they share with the audience their pursuit of basketball stardom from college to the league; characters like Chatty Alice, Eve, and Minnie, reflect on how we bear ourselves when we tend to gossip about people at a certain time; characters like Gunther and Nevaeh brings back our memory when people around us are secretly in love and how we rooted for them when we found out.

     From rehearsal to audition, from audition to staging, this play has moved a lot of hearts and most certainly left few dry eyes in the audience. What we saw in the performance was characters we could relate ourselves to and slices of memory that seemed our own. If you by any chance missed its two theatrical performances, you can only wait till its DVD comes out. But, for the head-on impacts from stage and the tears of joy off stage, you can only leave them for your imagination to go to work.

Let Me Have My Courses!!— What Makes for a Better Sign-Up System?

copyright: SHU

by Gill Chi

     We are always complaining about the sign-up system for courses. What is a better system than what we have right now? There are actually two different systems running on campuses in Taiwan—the “ante” system and the “random” system.

     The ante system offers students ante, or bargain points (usually 100 points), which you allot and bet on courses you want to sign up for. The more you want to sign up for a course, the more points you bet on it. For a popular course, of course you need to “up the ante.” That is to say, if you can focus all your ante on one course—betting all the 100 points on it—that is a guarantee. Because no one else can out-bet you. The downside is that in order to secure one course, when it is really popular, you have to risk other courses you also want to take. But if you ask around and bet wisely, you can secure quite some courses you really need to take.

     The other system is the “random” system—a system that randomly choose students from the sign-up ballots and decides who may take the course and who may not. It is sheer luck of the draw and it is level playing field. The downside is that numerous students end up being opted out, year after year, by the computer’s randomly selecting system and the possibility of graduating in four years seems so far away. The “fair and square” system guarantees randomness but not equally distributed opportunities. When the computer keeps “fairly” choosing others instead of you for one required course, you may fairly fail to finish college in four years.

     Most colleges in Taiwan rely on the random system. They may have been doing that for a reason in addition that it is an old system that has always been around. Or, maybe fairness matters more than anything else from an administrative point of view. However, if the newly introduced ante system can better reflect students’ urge and urgency to take a required or otherwise desired course, why not give it try?

E-Radio: Interview

Introduction

What Is E-radio

  

 Among all the universities in Taiwan, Shih Hsin was the first school that founded its Department of Radio and Television studies, along with three media platforms which offers students opportunities for internship: SHU Radio, SHU Television Studio, and SHU Film Society. Students are encouraged to fruition by creating programs and managing related procedures. Not only the Radio Department of Radio have access to the equipment but there are numerous opportunities for students from other departments as well. A radio show hosted by students from English Department is call E-Radio. What is E-radio? E stands for English. Radio is for students’ to share any ideas they have to the audience. 

Q&A

  With Willy

Reporter: Hey Willy! How are you doing? I’m going to invite you to talk about E-radio, since you and I hosted the same program last year. Would you like to share some things with us?

Willy: I think E-radio is a great project between the English Department and the Department of Radio. On this project, by sharing interesting things and anecdotes on air, we improve our speaking skills and flexibility at the same time.

Reporter: Will you recommend this project to your classmates?
Willy: Definitely! This opportunity from our department is a great chance for us to enrich ourselves. Everyone should give it a try in order to earn some experience.

Reporter: What did you learn from hosting a radio show?
Willy: On the grounds that we are obliged to process a lot of information on a variety of topics, including some which we are less familiar with, we have to spend time and make efforts to prepare ourselves. To me, it’s fun to learn new stuff.

Reporter: How about this year? Are you working on something else or are you back on E-radio?

Willy: Oh! This year I am trying something different from E-radio program. But radio shows are still my favorite, only that I have my eyes on something new.

Reporter: Thank you, Willy.

It is really great to hear your own voice on air, especially when it is something you have put in many efforts. I believed it is a rewarding experience that will become helpful in the future.
