3. 從英文的電腦遊戲，不斷地擴增字彙，累積成可觀的英語實力。
除了利用大量閱讀自己感興趣的原文書及玩英文電腦遊戲，譚光磊有兩個很特別的語言學習方法：
(1) 自言自語，用各種腔調說英語。
(2) 書寫英文奇幻小說。
譚光磊學習英語的方法的確跳脫一般人的學習模式，「興趣導向」是個重要因素。
In the kitchen with her kids, Sheri Schmelzer got crafty- and lucky-with her Crocs
I like what is told in the first paragraph,
Some people look at a hole and see empty place. Others, on the other hand, see opportunity.
Sheri Schmelzer is a woman whose great innovation has changed the looks of Crocs' look-alike shoes. What she did was simply decorate Crocs. But her simple idea led to a $20-million business deal.

Who knew that fathers were biologically equipped to nurture children?
This article points out that dads have a different parenting style from mums. What fathers do particularly well is promote children's independence and let go in a loving way. For examples, girls with involved fathers are more likely to stick with extra-curricular activities. So this article will sure inspire more dads to get involved in the upbringing of their children.

I was really impressed with the struggles and the accomplishments of Quinones-Hinojos. It was not an easy to take, but he made a difference in his life by his endeavors and perseverance.

There Is No Frigate Like A Book
Emily Dickinson
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!
What I've learned from the book:
The author of this book, Rafe Esquith, incorporated the six level into his class, thus creating a classroom of fun, interaction, and trust. What's more splendid is that his classroom, Room 56, is void of fear.
The following are the six levels of Moral Development as mentioned in the book:
Level 1: Don't Want to Get in Trouble
Level 2: I Want a Reward
(Proper behavior is expected, not rewarded.)
Level 3: I Want to Please Somebody
Level 4: I Follow the Rules
Level 5: I Am Considerate of Other People
(You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.)
(Kindness really is contagious.)
Level 6: I Have a Personal Code of Behavior and I Follow It
(Level 6 behavior is the most difficult to attain and just as difficult to teach.)
(2) Reading is not a subject. Reading is a foundation of life....If a child is going to grow into a truly special adult - someone who thinks, considers other points of view, has an open mind, and possesses the ability to discuss great ideas with other people - a love of reading is an essential foundation.
(Reading is arguably a habit that connotes thoughtfulness, education, and even high-mindedness.)
(A teacher should act as a model to his/her students by being an avid/a voracious reader.)
(Part of the fun of reading is in the joining our own experience to that of a story or a character. We feel, think, and understand. We develop empathy and compassion and become a better person.)
Writing might just be the key that unlocks a child's heart.
We should encourage our students to write their thoughts down so that they can keep track of what is happening in their lives. Writing enables students to become better thinkers and learners. It also helps them share their experience and ideas.
There's a lot more to learn from this book. It's worth reading again and again.

品書‧書品
閱讀這本書最大的收獲是「發現自己買書、看書、品書、念書及戀書，從書海認識自己、認識世界何其幸褔！」
本書分為五個向度：
1. 書海茫茫，哪本書會改變你的一生？
A. 關於閱讀的至理名言
a. 談到閱讀，無論你覺得自己有多忙碌，你都必須立刻找出時間閱讀，否則等於放任自己孤陋寡聞。
b. 別強迫自己去讀你不喜歡的書，這世界上有成千上萬的好書，何必傻得把時間浪費在無法讓你愉快又受益的書上。
c. 活到老，讀到老。
B. 積極主導自己的閱讀生活
列出自己的「入圍好書」(List of Candidates)
建立自己專屬的「入圍藏經閣」
(可善用報好書明牌的貴人、書評、圖書館資源、工具書(例如Good Readings: A Helpful Guide for the Serious Reader)做為選書及典藏書的參考)
2. 字句麻麻，如何榨出更多精華？
A. 關於速讀
如果你只靠眼睛閱讀，則書為你帶來的助益將微乎其微。速讀能夠幫助人們對一本書的內容有基本認識，但是無法幫助你真正理解書中的涵義 。
B. 要不斷問自己，到底我為什麼要讀這本書？我究竟想從中獲得什麼？
C. 汲取精髓並融會貫通
想要大幅提升閱讀理解力，訣竅就在於讀完一本書之後，再多花一點時間，慢慢咀嚼，細細品味，只要這樣，便能輕易從書中汲取精髓並融會貫通，還能歷久不忘。
D. 善用SQ3R，有效閱讀
S= Survey (瀏覽)
Q=Question (提問)
R= Read (閱讀)
R=Recite (複誦)
R=Review (複習)

3. 用耳朵享受閱讀樂趣
A. 有聲書能為閱讀生命開啟了全新的一扇門。
B. 有時一邊閱讀文字，一邊同時聆聽，對於提升理解程度有事半功倍的效果。
C. 每本書都有自己的聲音，只要配音得宜，絕對比單讀文字時能從書中獲得的感受更完整。
4. 以書會友
讀書會以書會友，能督促自己超越原有的見解。
5. 閱讀，提升生命高度
A. 長期而言，重要的不是你讀了什麼，而是你內心的改變；以及
因閱讀所產生的想法和感想。
B. 謹慎閱讀。
C. 一生愛書。
傾聽書的聲音，書的世界何其遼濶！
Why Do Clocks Run Clockwise? is a book for us to ponder a lot. In other words, it is a book of imponderables. In this book, the author, David Feldman, tries to solve mysteries that cannot be solved by numbers or measurements or standard reference books. In fact, he consulted about a thousand people to gather information for this book. So it is a really a mammoth job to get to the bottom of all of the imponderables in the book.
David Feldman sparks our curiosity and entertains us by the 239 imponderables in this book. It is indeed worth reading.
The title of this book is "Why Do Clocks Run Clockwise?". This imponderable reminds me that we often accept things as they are and never question the reason why. We simply ignore the question until we are challenged to think about it.
So why do clocks run clockwise? Henry Fried, a horologist, gives a simple explanation:
Before the advent of clocks, people used sundials. In the
northern hemisphere, the shadows rotated in the direction we
now call "clockwise". The clock hands were built to mimic the
natural movements of the sun.
But what would have happened if clocks had been invented in the southern hemisphere?
It's also a good question.
The book is humorous, witty, and fun. For example, let's read the first paragraph of "Why Can't they Make Newspapers that Don't Smudge?".
Reading a newspaper might be good for the mind, but it ain't
great for the hands. After a bout with the Sunday paper, your
hands are likely to look as if they have been engaged in a
mudwrestling contest rather than an intellectual endeavor.
The following are ten imponderables I am most interested in:
1. What does 0。 in the Fahrenheit scale signify?
2. Why do doughnuts have holes?
3. How did Xmas come to stand for Christmas?
4. Why is one side of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil shiny and
the other side dull?
5. Why do traffic signs use red, yellow, and green lights? Why
is the red light on top, green light on the bottom, and yellow
light in between?
6. Why do clocks run "clockwise"?
7. Why does Coca-Cola from a small bottle taste better than
Coca-Cola from a large bottle or can?
8. What kind of hen lays extra-large eggs? What determines the
size categories of chicken eggs?
9. Why do trucks now say their contents are "flammable" when
they used to say "inflammable"?
10. Why do hot dogs come ten to a package and hot-dog buns
come eight to a package?
I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy reading and thinking.
What do I learn from this book?
Apartheid, in Afrikaans, means "separateness" and is pronounced "apart-hate." It first came to be known to the world in 1948. Black people under segregation laws were treated unfairly. For example, they were ordered to live in segregation areas, which were called "locations." Black men had to carry a document which noted whether they had permission to be where they were. In addition, Apartheid laws did not allow workers to bring wives and children to the city. Millions of black families were torn apart and broken in this way.
Under harsh conditions, Nelson Mandela succeeded in becoming a lawyer. Being a lawyer, he was able to help desperate people who needed help to protect themselves against the unfair racial laws. After joining the ANC Youth League, Nelson Mandela entered a different path of life. He gave his time voluntarily, abandoning his practice and family, and expecting nothing in return apart from the liberation of his people.
What are Nelson Mandela and the ANC Youth League strive for? Read the Freedom Charter as in the link.
With Nelson Mandela becoming more powerful and influential in the campaign for freedom, he was often under arrest. At last he was put in the prison, serving a life sentence. As a result, he lived a harsh and difficult life in prison for twenty-seven years. Mandela consistently refused to compromise his political position to obtain his freedom.When he was finally released, he was already seventy-two years old. Yet he did not suffer in vain. He did his best to help end apartheid and changed the life of many black people forever.
A great man has changed the history of the world forever.

(8/15第二次返校穿運動服)今年的基測出現了一首英詩，"To Live Is to Love"，
我覺得這首揭示了生命的意義和愛的重要，
值得讓我們多探索生命的價值和意義。
Why does the sun come up every morning?
Why does the moon become full every month?
When the flowers drop, the leaves grow.
When the old die, the new are born.
(The poet asks questions about the circle of nature, such as the daily return of the sun and the cycle of the moon. While the flowers wither, the leaves grow. Life goes on and on."
Life is a circle. Love is, too.
Our parents love us. We love our children.
When you think you cannot fall in love again,
The next love is right behind you.
(The poet points out that life is a circle, and so is love. Love is what keeps a family together.
Love will come when you least expect it.)
Life is love, so live for love.
Love cannot be stopped.
It is as strong as life.
And that's all people live for.
(No life is complete without love. We all need love and we live for love.)

The news that impresses me most in this issue is as followed:
Andrew Johnston won standing ovation when he attended the audition for Britain's Got Talent. The road to success was not an easy one for him. Andrew has been interested in opera since he was six years old. He got bullied for his love of opera. Fortunately, one of his primary school teachers noticed his talent and encouraged him to attend the cathedral's choir.
When one of the judges heard about the bullying, he said to Andrew:
Andrew, the thing about school bullies is that they don't like you for one reason-you've got more talent than they can dream of ever having. Ever.
Andrew was optimistic about the future. He said the bullying was over and done with. He didn't really want to think about that just now. He just wanted to get on with his singing.
It is touching to know a bullied boy found solace in singing.
Bullying hurts! No one should be bullied just because he is different!

現代人不僅要work hard，更要學習work smart，
讓自己成為更有影響力的人。
Work smart-要具備溝通的能力，要喜歡溝通，以溝通為樂。
Work smart-要學會做領導人。
Work smart-要有團隊意識。
Work smart-要激勵他人，讓他人喜歡與你共事。
---黑幼龍 《贏在影響力：卡內基人際溝通九大法則》
作者在本書中提出幫助讀者發揮影響力的法則：
人際關係法則一：不批評、不責備、不抱怨
人際關係法則二：給予真誠的讚賞與感謝
人際關係法則三：引發他人心中的渴望
人際關係法則四：真誠地關心他人
人際關係法則五：經常微笑
人際關係法則六：記得別人的名字
人際關係法則七：聆聽。鼓勵他人多講自己的事
人際關係法則八：談論他人感興趣的話題
人際關係法則九：衷心讓他人覺得自己很重要
要做到以上的九則人際關係，最重要是由先由看重自己，喜愛自己做起。當一個人能夠接納自己，將有更柔軟的心和寬厚的心胸去傾聽別人的聲音，關懷別人的需要及為別人帶來快樂。
書中我最喜歡的句子為
"Friends are like flowers, beautiful flowers; friends are like flowers in the garden of life."
一個朋友，
當他的真誠關懷感動你時，
你的生命便隨之改變。
朋友影響我們至深，
一言一行都可能改變我們人生的方向。

在採卿主任的部落格看到了這一篇「謝謝龍山和龍山說再見」：
86年到龍山至今已11年，受到照顧與栽培，得到學習和成長， 陳採卿 |
心中真是百感交集！好為採卿主任開心！為她將有更開闊的學習空間而欣喜！
她喜歡學習、願意傾聽並真誠關懷，11年來有這樣一個時常關心你的朋友，
我實在成長不少。
我們兩個人都喜歡分享，也樂於接受新知。在談話中總能激盪美妙的點子。同時兩個人都喜歡讀書、喜歡文字，也喜歡人群。
和採卿主任一起談話，真會感覺世界真是美好！她就是這樣一個能帶給別人，帶給週遭光和熱的人。
而我有幸沐浴在這燦爛陽光裡！
鄭校長的第一、龍山的唯一 文/ 陳採卿
教改的浪潮改變的不只是教育制度，也改變了學校文化和校園生態，龍山人感受最為深刻，85~90年間為龍山最艱苦、嚴重減班的黑暗時期，何碧燕校長於87年接下了領航人的重責大任，日以繼月、辛勤耕耘才逐漸穩定了師生的心，獲得社區家長的肯定認同，學生逐漸陸續回流，班級數回復到42班。91年何校長四年任期屆滿，立刻受聘應邀至臺北市第一大校----仁愛國中，由鄭秀琴校長接下了第六任校長的棒子。
我覺得自己很幸運在龍山國中11年，都是擔任行政工作，歷經三位校長，有機會近距離地向她們學習，學習每個領導者不同的才能，由不同的職位、不同的角度去欣賞，發現每個人都如一座寶山。鄭校長是我跟隨最久的，她從一位初任校長剛開始有些些生澀，很快地就熟練沉穩地帶領龍山一步一步踏實地向前走，95年第一任任期滿又連任2年，如今在龍山的最高峰，也是她自己最圓滿的時刻，選擇急流勇退，套一句俗話：「上台靠機會，下台靠智慧。」無疑的，鄭校長應該就是最有智慧、掌握最佳機會的幸運兒，而龍山國中因為是幸福之地，才有緣能在享受到幸運校長的福氣，在鄭校長的帶領下再創藍天。
如果學校還有晨鐘，校長應該就是那敲鐘人，每天當校園還在沉睡中，鄭校長總是早早就等候在校門口，迎接學生和同仁，她的招牌笑容和爽朗笑聲，打開了師生沉睡的心靈，龍山國中美好的一天就從校長的一聲早安開始。
記得6月有一次的週會，校長語重心長略帶生氣的告訴全校同學，大家應該要一起愛護學校維護整潔，最近同學亂丟垃圾的情形讓校長很難過，決定不要再幫忙撿垃圾了。說的也是，校長的勤快愛整潔是有目共睹的，不只是撿垃圾，只要她看到假日後校園的髒亂，她就主動地加入掃地的行列，尤其是維也納森林和操場。颱風天校園的殘枝敗葉落滿地，她巡視校園馬上和職工一起動手，不辭勞苦掃到手都起泡泡。
勤勞是客家女人的特色，節儉也是不可忽視的本性，校長經常提醒同仁節約能源，龍山的經費雖因有社區大學的補助不虞憂心，但校長依舊耳提面命身體力行，讓學校的經費每年都可以結餘，在新政府節能省碳新政策之前，龍山早已率先，得到全國節約能源第一名當之無愧。
行政人員常私下談論鄭校長是天生的領導者，率真、坦誠、公正、直言的個性很好相處，沒有心機有話直說不必費心猜忌，大家省下白必要的力氣可專注於業務，讓公務很容易順利推動。最讓人佩服的是開會的效率，她可以明快果決的裁示，不會耽誤用餐時間，讓大家可以回來安安心心吃自己的便當。值得一提的還有，身為一校之長她能兼顧家庭和學校，又能均衡事業發展和個人自我實現，看到校長為子女，善盡孝道照顧弟妹兄弟；為人母，盡心盡力扶養子女甚至照顧孫女，把各個角色扮演恰如其分，實為現代職業婦女的典範。
鄭校長選擇龍山當她的第一也是唯一的校長職務，她說龍山是她永遠的娘家，龍山也將永遠紀錄著，鄭校長為龍山寫下的歷史。
祝福您，親愛的錦繡老師！
詹麗馨老師
印象中的錦繡老師似乎從未改變過---一樣的嚴謹、一樣的井然有序、一樣的古道熱腸。她是那種讓人由衷佩服，心服口服的人。而就也就是幾年來再難經營的班級終究能被她管的服服帖帖的原因。
錦繡老師的仔細和耐心也是她的特異功能。最讓我印象深刻的是她的個人網頁：Ginger's English Classroom。她從多年前建置這個個人教學網頁以來，一直持續更新及增添資料。建置及維護個人網頁需要相當的時間和熱誠，所以由此可看出錦繡老師是個超級行動派的人。也因為她的奉獻，龍山國中英語領域的許多資料，包含教學觀摩教案、多元評量，教學活動與競賽及英語每日一句得以完整的保存並分享。
錦繡老師整理資料及建立檔案的超級能力也是讓我嘖嘖稱奇的。她整理資料有條不紊，分類清楚，因此常能提供給大家相關的資料做為參考。她就是這麼一個有條理又認真的人！
從錦繡老師身上，我學習到認真負責的態度、做事嚴謹不馬虎，以及高度的教育熱忱。感謝錦繡老師帶給我極深遠的影響，讓我立下心願做個更優質的教師。也要感謝錦繡老師多年來給我的支持及鼓勵，英語領域有她及大家的鼎力協助才能有今天的格局和規模。我們一起走過打拼的歲月。回首來時路，一切的努力和付出都成為美麗的回憶。
祝福您，親愛的錦繡老師！
閱讀像是敲門磚，
可以打開人類知識之門。
當一個孩子有健全的人格，
又有閱讀的習慣時，
他就有面對未來世界必備的條件，
世界雖大，
他已可任意翱翔，
他的人生可以掌握在自己的手中。

Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view;
We spend more, but enjoy less;
We have bigger houses, but smaller families;
We have more compromises, but less time;
We have more knowledge, but less judgment;
We have more medicines, but less health;
We have multiplied out possessions, but reduced our values;
We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much;
We reached the Moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors;
We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space;
We have higher income, but less morals;
These are times with more liberty, but less joy;
We have much more food, but less nutrition;
These are the days in which it takes two salaries for each home, but divorces increase;
These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes;
That's why I propose, that as of today;
You do not keep anything for a special occasion because every day that you live is a SPECIAL OCCASION.
Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs;
Spend more time with your family and friends, eat your favorite foods, visit the places you love;
Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; not only about survival;
Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume, and use it every time you feel you want it.
Remove from your vocabulary phrases like "one of these days" or "someday";
Let's write that letter we thought of writing "one of these days"!
Let's tell our families and friends how much we love them;
Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life;
Every day, every hour, and every minute is special;
And you don't know if it will be your last.
