I am pleased to post an essay from the summer assignment of our sophomore Alan Chang, 張逸文同學. Alan’s story told a shopping trip to a department store. The journey included looking for a computer, getting a discount coupon, and grocery shopping at a supermarket. The story reads lively with twists and turns. Definitely a good read.

Alan’s essay also applied 成語 (Chinese idioms) extensively throughout the article. His mastery of these idioms worked really well to convey the story in a very succinct and witty way. For students in 7th grade and above, please try to count how many idioms are in Alan’s essay.

Great job, Alan! We look forward to reading more stories from you. 

Your Principal,
Yuan-Chi Chang 張元極
