I'm
Mei-hui Chiang, Age: a big secret; Interest: drawing, teaching, enjoying
students' drawings. Most cheerful thing:
see the growth of each student. Most fortunate thing: encounter a group of
bosom friends, exert my specialty, and to be affirmed in work.
Cyberfair
is a very fashionable noun, it represents advanced technology. Thus, I was always thinking it's a very
difficult work before contacting Cyberfair, and I was a bit afraid of it.
However, I took the first step finally with colleagues' stimulation and press.
Now it's the second year, going to different markets for surveys and
interviews, "exploring market exhibition" held in campus and
"market drawings collection" last year and "shop story
interview, story creation, drama performance of market story" held this
year are all resulted from our efforts. Over the past two years, Mei-chung and
Hsiou-yan had dedicated a lot, whereas my contribution seemed to be least, I'm
sorry about it. This was an entirely different experience, though Li-shu had
said "The Cyberfair of this year is so terrible, four married women are
working on it to our surprise!" Some experiences must be experienced
personally so that you can realize it, I believe that the work experience of these
two years will be one topic at our leisure in the future. Thank you all for
your help and support, it's really great to be with you.

Mei-chung
Wu
|
Name: Mei-chung
Wu
Interest: Collecting jokes, cracking jokes, cultivating
flowers and composing essays
Most cheerful thing: Be a primary school
teacher.
Most fortunate thing: Do things I believe
in.
The thing prefers to do
above all others: Sharing.
I
remember that once I was having a chat with students, a student told me that he
had read a special interview in Common Wealth Magazine which was about a marine
product stall-keeper carrying his shoulder pole to take the first train to
Luchou to sell marine products everyday. I could not help remembering when I
was studying in a primary school, once I was buying chubs for the first time,
though I had no enough money, the vendor was still so kind of allowing me to
take the fish home. I think the market is an ordinary place full of life
stories. We just seldom have a chance to feel it point for point in the urban
society.
When
visiting stall-keepers in Luchou Market together with the children, we also met
a marine product vendor, Mr. Lin, who was from Yilan. He took the train at 4:05 a.m. to somewhere in Sanchung, Luchou and
Hsinchuang to sell marine products everyday, and took the train at 1.15 p.m.
back to Yilan. Following his steps, I
realize the struggling spirit of human for life——from going to sea for fishing
at the age of 13 to changing to sell local
marine products at his twenty-fives due to a shave of shipwreck. I believe everybody has a life struggling
course of his own, taking children to the market to explore different life
stories and experience different growth experience, I believe this is also
another kind of life perception! |

I'm
not good at scheduling and managing knowledge.
Participating in Cyberfair is just giving me an opportunity to learn
from partners and grow together with students. Those children participated in
Cyberfair project were so lucky, they went along with teachers to step in
residential blocks and go deep into crowds, and learned research modes and
methods from teachers especially from Ms. Wu, they learned the
"taking-away ability" emphasized by Grade 1-9 Curriculum. These
children were so fortunate, they had the chance to exercise getting along with
strangers, to learn how to talk with somebody they didn't know; and these
children had the chance to act before the whole school, to draw, to improve
their computer skills and exercise composing essays. The common words of shop
keepers interviewed were "be tolerant, don't offend customers",
"be faithful to customers", and "provide the best service for
customers, one day you will gain his money". Successes do have reasons, these shop keepers
were not running their business well at the very start, even some got deficit
at the beginning, all of them set up their own "brands" gradually
based on good public praise, so their shops become present old shops
interviewed by us. When plants are moved outwards gradually and people engaged
in resource recovery become more, we feel these shop keepers are fortunate.

Ms.
Shu-li:
When I knew the children
wanted to participate in Cyberfair,
To make action research
following teachers,
I felicitated myself that
the children made a wise choice.
I saw the team working on
heavy and complicated work such as searching data, interviewing on the spot,
typing verbatim records etc. Everybody did the research work steadfastly and
earnestly.
|

|
I
remember that once we interviewed an uncle vendor of squid came to Luchou
Market from remote Yilan, in order to went deep into his source of goods, we
went along with him to the fishing port
of Yilan Touchen to
clarify the source of bulk goods on the spot.
Through the interview of him, we knew that he must go to Luchou Market
by the morning train and then by a taxi to sell squids in order to earn more
money to support his family, he's so diligent.
In
the course of interview, we found a lot of different stories which let the
children know more about the toilsome aspect of each vocation. I also saw the
zeal and over-absorption of mind of the whole team through the interview.
In
the entire research, children's ability had been improved greatly, and they had
contacted different people, matters and things. I believe that their
over-absorption of mind, efforts and dedications will leave nice memories in
their lives.

Ms. Ya-ling:
Participating in the
research team was a coincidence to me.
Hsin-ting used to tell me something interesting in relation to their
commando interviewing vendors in the market.
Afterwards I met Mei-hui and Ms. Hsiou-yan and we had a chat, that charm
attracted me to join the commando. |
Walking in and out the market together with team members, I
found those stories in market were so interesting, especially those struggling
histories of vendors were really admirable.
I
have like to study the research spirit of teachers most, although each of them
was a mother of two or three kids, some should nurse at the same time as
typing, some should cook at the same time as remote controlling team members to
upload work records. When we were
designing the webpage together, I found their computer skill was not that good,
however, they still completed their assignment.
Being with team members, I feel as if I've grown young, as for some
kinds of study, it's really necessary to gain new insights through reviewing
old material!
|
-Ms. Li-shu:
After
staying up for several nights, I began to a little understand the reason why I
couldn’t finish webpage… when I was saying this, I could visualize Mei-chung
pouting, the innocent expression in the eyes of Mei-hui and giggly chubby face
of Shiou-yen… No, indeed, I was not saying these to direct the space bar, not
even those not focusing as well as hand shaking photos that I mended for quite
a while with eyebrow frowned, and those silly things that the files corrected,
I had early accepted it too…
|

|
But, was it for sure due to that little silly?! When I
saw the webpage gradually developing, I also tirelessly narrated the rushing
about in these two years at day and night and all weathers, in the two year, I
at another space and time, got pregnant, gave birth to little A-er, leisurely
planned important things of myself, on the other hand the footsteps to and fro
the food market actually didn’t stop, it even went further and further…Tamshui,
Nanmen, Yilan…I heard the development of market stories, recalled with deep
emotion the endeavor of children and toil of teachers, like listening to old
grandmother slowly talk that dust-laden past events…until I also came to
participate the lineup, webpage, appliance, achievements of the two years…the
more I did, the more I really moved in my heart, I couldn’t help but say—these
children, how lucky you were to meet with the tour to the food market, they not
only solidly learned all the abilities in the subject, but also experienced and
were influenced by the unadorned, zealous and sincere teacher’s model, when I
saw again the campus market that was came into being through taking a lot of
trouble and purchasing one by one out of their own pocket , read again those
study logs and interview literal drafts that were made through painstaking
instruction, and those plenty of photo trace…. it seemed what the webpage could
tell was only one out of a thousand, one couldn’t finish telling…
Although facing the webpage that couldn’t be
finished anyway, what I wanted to say was thanks, thank the beautiful and
important tour, I was at back, let me catch up with the procession, which made
my hands that were typing the keyboard fell also honored…

computer, drawing, playing the piano, playing the violin, listening to pop
songs, sport.
When
I participated in Cyberfair, our teacher took us to the market to interview
shop keepers and experience selling food practically, that let me know and
recognize more about the market. Despite sometimes I had to write reports on my
rest days, I knew a lot of friends, that's another kind of study.

Hsin-ting Lin

I'm
Hsin-ting Lin
I'm from Cyberfair
team.
I'm in Grade five.
I like playing
computer.
My habit is playing
computer, too.
I'm 11.
My constellation is Aries
My best friends are
Hsuan-wei Li and Yu-hsuanYao
I'm a boy
My most favorite sport is
swimming, playing ball and playing the violin
I
think Cyberfair let me learn quickly, like last time, Cyberfair project
broadened my view that I saw tangle and burdock I'd never seen. I made a quick
progress through this study. Cyberfair project contained not only joys but also
toils, we had to compose reports after returned from the survey of market,
therefore there were sweets and bitters in Cyberfair project.

Yu-hsuan Chen

Hello
everyone! My name is Yu-hsuan Chen, I'm twelve, I like fruit such as apple,
juicy peach, kiwi fruit, sugar-apple, pineapple, orange and mandarin orange, I
like playing on-line games most. I can type quickly, and my typing has been
tested, I can type over forty English words or over thirty Chinese characters
per minute. Although I passed the examination, I still felt my typing speed was
slow, but now things changed, I can type more quickly than ever. Additionally
I've learned musical instruments such as harmonica and Chinese flute. My
English was very good in former times, I had passed the test from Grade one to
four, so my parents were surprised. Well, my self-introduction is as above, and
then, THE END.
I
thought there must be something interesting happen since my first day in
Cyberfair, I've learned a lot of things and knowledge from start to finish, and
I've known a lot of people. It turns out that you can bargain with vendors in
the market, even get free goods if you have a good friendship with the vendor,
but not in the supermarket. And I've known the histories of Jhunshan Theatre
andTamkang University, so I think Cyberfair was a
very great activity. |

Hello everyone!
I'm Chia-ling Chang.
I like playing jokes, my interest
is dancing, playing computer and sleeping etc. I live by my likes, anyway I'm
easy to approach, only have a bit bad temper sometimes. I have many nicknames,
such as A-ling, Corn and Cha-beibei. Don't misunderstand, I'm not rude
actually, unless someone is naughty and always teases girls, I will give him a
lesson, hah hah... So I said I'm strange and smart! Haw-haw ah ~ ~ though I look brave, in fact
I'm very timid. @ˇ@. Here comes the point, I'm very humorous in private!
Today
is my first time in Cyberfair.
I was very nervous,
because I'd never taken part in it, I didn't know whether I could make it. When
I was learning how to enter Cyberfair today, I kept asking myself that could I
really make it? Could I really be competent for it?
Because
I was a little confused, I was liable to forget how to do, and I would always
ask teachers, I had no experience, this was my first day after all. Thank
teachers for your instructions and support to me!

I
had decided to do well since teacher told us Cyberfair, but I still made some

with my schoolmates, it's also a very nice memory.
In
the course of Cyberfair project, I learned a lot of different knowledge,
"different" means modern and funny etc. The nice feeling of strolling around market
together with schoolmates made me very happy, I really miss the past memory,
but now I shall be more diligent in Cyberfair, make things well which I didn't
make in former times. I hope I can hold
such honor and opportunity well anyway!
Finally, I'd like to thank Ms. Mei-chung, Ms. Mei-hui and Ms. Hsiou-yan
for directing us and thank other partners for their contribution to Cyberfair,
and I expect our team to achieve excellent performance.

first time, I felt a bit nervous for it's my first time of being here. Firstly, we came to the computer classroom,
we'd never thought that the door was not opened, and then our teacher askedChia-ling to get the key in Room 510. When we got the key, we opened the door and
entered the classroom.
Originally we thought it would
go smoothly, but the computers didn't work to our surprise,
But I just wanted to say
one sentence to the computer,
"Computer! Wake
up!"

Hello everyone!

to make a brief self-introduction.

Happy new year!
I
definitely didn't know there was such a good activity (Cyberfair) at the
beginning,
Until Ms. Wu invited
me.
I knew a lot of friends
there.
And I took part in a lot
of interesting activities, the most memorable one to me was a market
exhibition.
We decorated the
exhibition with a lot market styles.
It introduced some
vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, sundry goods, draperies and hardware
commodities.
We had visited the market
for many times to know how shop keepers ran their business and joys and toils
therein, and then we experienced selling vegetables at stalls personally, we
learned how to place goods and how to serve customers, we gained a lot. In order to know more about the operation of
fish market, we took a special trip to markets of Yilan and Tamshui for visit,
I realized the significance of market because of this activity.
If nobody sells food, we
will have no fresh vegetables, fruit, fish or meat. And if you met some food
you couldn't cook, you could ask the vendor. So the market provides convenience
and thick human interest for us. Thank them very much. Finally I'd like to
thank schoolmates and teachers in Cyberfair!
Thank you all for sharing
so many nice and joyful things with me. |
