Student's feedback

Do you have fun in this class?

• 
  Yes, I have. I really enjoy learning English in Professor Tsao's class.  Through this semester, I can really "feel" that my speaking, listening, writing and reading abilities are making progress.  At the first time, I can't make myself used to read "Advanced" every day and listen to the CDs, but I gradually find something interesting in it.  The content is meaningful and I can follow the foreigh people's accent to improve my speaking.  The most important is that professor used "Friends" as a teaching tool in class.  I can now understand what the people in the film are talking about.  I find myself more efficiently and effectively completing my norvel reading progress.  I discovered another interest in me!  I also love the content of "Intellegence"!  To sum up, I really enjoyed everything in class.(Julia)
  
  
• What I learn from this class can be divided into three parts.  They lead me to discover the beauty of English and the world.  First, initiative of leaning.  With motivation of leaning, I can get what I want directly.  Free Reading is a good method to make initiative of learning as a habit.  In this part, I think I should develop my courage to ask qustions so that I can get information immediately.  Second, by writing reading journals every other week and having quizzes about Friends, Ithink I improve my writing skills.  I learn a very important skill in this part, "wriing stories specifically."  Last, learning skills.  With them, I can do everything more effectively and more enjoyable.  They aslo help me get on the track with the world.(Tina)
  
  
• Of course, yes.  Taking dictation tests is fun.  It makes me absorb in every word the teacher said.  Watching "Friends" is fun.  It always makes me laugh and learn mew things of the American Culture.  Watching movies is fun.  Teacher always selects meaningful movie for us to watch.  Though I couldn't totally get what they were saying.  Making presentations is fun.  I learned a lot from doing that.  How to talk in front of people?  How to collect good information?  How to express our information to the class?  I found some answers from my classmates and my teacher. (Cate)
  
  
• It is definately that I have a lot of fun in this class although there are many things we need to prepare, practice and do.  I think I come to a very useful class every Friday, absorbing lots of knowlege and sharpening my English skill.  Enjoying Friends, Advanced, and presentations showed by classmates, I found that English is not just a subject, English can take yu abserve the things around the world and help you express yourself. (Jasse)
  
  
• I think this class is quite fun because we use a variety of materials instead of text books to improve our English.  By watching movies, I can learn new vocabularies from it and I won't feel bored.  By using a class blog, I feel excited because I have never done this in other classes before.  It is very convenient for us to know the recent news in class and improve our writing skills by looking at other classmates article.  By preparing presentations, I realize the importance of cooperating with my group.  The process may be hard-working, but we share our ideas and help each other to make it perfect.  Every time I achieve a new homework, I feel proud of  myself.  Without this class, I may not know how much potential do I have.(Linsay)
  
  
• In this English class, I think I learned a lot and had lots of fun.  First, Advanced--Reading Aloud and Dictations made me carefully read the contents in Advanced.  There are different types of articles including finance, society, science and so on.  I then expanded my knowledge base, got my English abilities improved, and had fun listening to different kinds of accents in class.
  Second, group-works in class is meaningful and interesting.  While we were preparing for presentations, the interactions between our group members are hard to forget.  We made drafts, prepared power points, ate dinner together, and practiced for so many times.  These are tiring, but meaningful.  The sense of accomplishment is the source of fun.
  Third, journals were sometimes fun, too.  The materials we chose may be interesting or thrilling, and these always gave me many ideas to write in journals.
  Finally, "Friends" was the most interesting part in class.  If there's a word that best describes "Friends". that is "Fun".  It always made me laugh, and my mood always turned good due to it.
  Well, English class is not always boring.  At least, I find fun in the class.(Arthur)
  
  
• Yes, I am.  In this class, I found out lots of things which is interesting.  First, it is my classmates who provide me with a good learning environment.  They're self-motivated to learning.  So, I always encourage myself to be part of them.  I really enjoy learning with them in this class. Moreover, the atmosphere around the class is very delightful.  When I stepped into the classroom, it seems like I stepped into a family. May be it is because we are getting familiar with one another but the main reason is, I thought, our same affection toward this class and English.  That's why we are close to one another so naturally.  Furthermore, Advanced magazine and Friends provide so many information and knowledge which are not only useful, but interesting have been improving.  Seeing the advance of my ability, I feel extremely contented and happy.(Finn)
  
  
• Yes, I am.  At first, when I learned that I was put in the highest level, I was scared.  The reason is I don't know whether I can handle the work.  However, during this semester, I found I have not only learned a lot, but also had a lot of fun.  For example, the presentation.  It is quite interesting when our group working together for this homework, we discuss, exchange each other's opinions and decide the best part to present.  It is very exciting to stand in front of the class and try our own best to give out our perspectives and have a close look at the limit time.   Although there are still many things to be improved, it is always a good try to do all these things.  As the saying goes, "Practice makes perfect." It is really a good experience to express ourselves to others in English.(Beth)
  
  
• Yes, I'm having some fun in this class.  I like it when our group gathering together working for the presentation about five minutes long.  I felt like a team member, and actually, I was, when we searched for the information, discussed and make the power point.  Moreover, I enjoyed watching other groups' presentations, too.  There were always some inspiring ideas in them.  And the favorite part, of course, is watching "friends".  I can really learn from having fun without the pressure of test.(Andrea)
  
  
• Yes, I am having some fun in this class.
  Frankly, I didn't feel comfortable but a little nervous in this class at first, Because you, the Professor Tsao's teaching way is so different from the traditional way.  Another reason is that this class is advanced class.  I thought the class materials would be hard to understand.  But as the time went by, I was getting used to the way you teach, and the class materials are not so hard, and the most important is , it can pique my learning interest.  Besides, I love some ideas and thinkings you have taught, these are not just only useful in class, but can be used in life.  And the presentations make me learn a lot, for example, how to organize   a topic and transfer into some simple ideas that can make everybody understand easily, how to deal with the team members if the conflicts happen, etc.  Last, I just want to say "I love Friends! Haha".(Sharon)
     
• Y, I am having fun in this class.  From reading Advanced out loud, I notice several good voices and accent in our class.  Watching "Friends" is the best part of the class for me.  The stories and the characters always make me laugh out loud.  "The Extensive Free Reading Project" give me the confidence of reading.  Because I always think my reading comprehension is bad, I neither like reading too  much nor have enough patient on it .  However, by free reading I get some confidence back cause I enjoy the book I chose.  Though comparing to other classes, our courses seem much heavier, I still like this way of learning. So as the presentations, frankly speaking, it is quite a trouble for us to prepare for it, however, it is extremely fun to seeing and learning from other classmates' view.  Therefore, as a whole, I like this class very much! Thank you, Professor Tsao!(Candy)
  
  
• Every week we watch "Friends" to improve our listening skill and learn America's culture and native words.  I enjoyed the programe and feel interested.  Because I always learned English from textbook.  It's my first time to learn English in another way.  By watching fun programs, English gradually became my habit.  And I had another fun in the class.  That is the final presentation.  Our team could choose the topic by ourselves.  It was really fun when we prepared our presentation in free (style).  And I also had fun by getting new interesting information from other teams. (Lynn)
  
  
• Yes, I am.  I have a lot of fun in this class.  Although I have to get up early and do some homework, I really learn a lot in this class.  I don't think I waste my time.  We have learned things which is meaningful.  We not only learn English but also sharpen our abilities.  On reading aloud, we become braver and more active in class.  On presentation, we knew we should avoid group thinking.  And I found doing an presentation in English is not so hard than I imagined. :D  In this class, I know I can learn English from every aspects. (Watching movies, reading books, surfing the net, etc.)(Gina)
  
  
• Yes, I have a lot of fun in this class.  Although I feel so tired of studying and sometimes I consider preparing for presentation as pressure, I have to admit that  I am actually enjoying this course.  It help me gain a lot of information about learning, such as learning methods, attitude, and how to become more efficient.  In the class, I find that gradually I have a little courage to read and speak aloud, which is an important to me.   Watching "Friends" is what I most expect to, because it can help me relax and also learn some words and phrases.(Emily)
  
  
• Before learning, it is more important to learn how to learn.  From this class, I learned how to be an effective leaner from many articles about learning.  I used to be a student who cannot fin good ways in learning, which made me spending much unnecessary time and learned inefficiently.  However, nowadays, I know how to plan my days and chip away big job more accurately from what have been learned in class, which help me more in other learning materials, such as "Friends" watching and Advanced learning.  Because finding true learning method, I really do enjoy the English course and do have some improvements.(Allen)
  
  
• Yes, I am having a lot of fun in this class.  English is my favorite subject, I always watch HBO or star movies when I have free time.  I think watching movies is the best way of learning English.  You can enjoy the fun and the beauty in the movies, and you will find that your English has improved after watching them.  I gained a lot from "Friends".  Not only the happy time it gave ot me but the American culture and abundant phrases.  I also enjoy the group discussion.  Every time we discussed, I found many different and interesting opinions from my classmates.  They broadened my mind!(Winnie)
  
  
• I enjoy everything I learned in the class.  There are three reasons.  First, I experience the whole new English teaching method that I can't imagine before such as learning everyday conservation through watching six friends and the English presentation.  At first, these kind of way to learn English surprised me but I gradually get used to it and learned many things from that. Second, teacher always gave us some useful tips of how to learn English such as read out loud when studying magazine and take notes whenever possible.  All these tips make me learn English more efficiently.  Third, teacher told us to write reading journal.  At first, I am reluctant to write it .  However, when writing it, I feel I can jump into the book more quickly and learn something from that.(Willy)
  
  
• Yes, I am having fun in this class.
  reasons: I improve my English ability by many ways in the class.  The teacher asked to do some homework.  And the homework isn't only for test but for inspiring our interest.  Take presentation for example, I really have fun when I stand in front of the class and try to express my topic in English.  After three presentations, I find that my speech is more organized.  What's more, I enjoyed the teamwork spirit during discussing our works.  Another example is that I can finish a English book.  It is the first time I complete the reading.  As more I have read the more I can share with our group.(Grace)

Q1.  Candler finally asked Monica to marry him, but he would like to do some special events. Unfortunately, Monica ex-boyfriend ruined Chandler's surprise. On the other hand, Rachel and the other two friends went to an evening party which was belong to a child foundation. Joey made a mistake that he confused about the definition and he got a boat with 20,000 dollars. Back to Ross, he had noticed that Liz was lived in the different generation. Two of them really have a huge gap. In the end, Monica asked Chandler to marry her. How surprise the ending was! Q2.  Rachel, of course. I like her way of thinking and she actually do very good about acting. Talking about who I don't like most is difficult. I think six of them are doing very well on making fun for everyone. Q3.  Although "Friends" didn't use the right way of English speaking. It used a lot dialect which weren't very formal. We still can listen to the accuracy accent. But I think it will be better if we don't have any captions.

Q5林孟樺

FLAG 49777002 林孟樺

1. The major line is about Chandler proprosing to Monica.  He had been planning it for a long time, but he missed the chance to propose to her at the restaurant because they ran into Monica's ex-boyfriend Richard.

However, he tried another method by pretending he hates marriage just to make Monica sad and then give her a surprise.  Unfortunately, Richard came back to Monica and told her he still loves her.  Monica was in a dilemma and she had to think things over.  Untill Chandler knew what happened, he finally found out how serious this situation is.  He went to find Monica, but Joey had already told her the truth.  Beyond to Chandler's expections, Monica proposed to Chandler and they got engaged at the end.

2. My favorite character is Rachel, because she always looks so serious but actually talks with a sense of humor. She has a lot of emotional expression in the movie which makes her funny and adorable.  The character I like least is Chandler.  Maybe its because I hadn't see impressive funny scenes in the movie.  

3. I think it helps a lot in my listening skills. In the beginning I may have to rely on English subtitles a lot, but at the end of the semester, I can know about 90% what the characters are talking about without looking at the subtitles.

Q5朱士軒

 

A.

    After a lot of big troubles, Chandler and Monica engaged. At first, Chandler pretended not want to marry Monica, but after Monica's ex-boyfriend suddenly proposed to Monica, Chandler were really regretful for hiding the truth. Chandler ran into Monica's ex-boyfriend's house, negotiating with him. That man was Chandler's, too. So after a long and struggling "making up mind," the man finally give up marrying Monica. That man is really a "good man."

B.

    My favorite character is Monica, because she is a very circumspect woman, I love that.

I don't like Ross, he is too weak, and he looks debilitating.

C.

    I think movies that are very touching, and easy to be handled, are more useful as a tool to increase our listening comprehension. The examples are "Matchstick Man," "A Beautiful Mind," "Message in a Bottle."

Q5張耀真

A.           Chandler was planning to propose to Monica in a fancy restaurant.  Unfortunately, they bumped into Monica's ex-boyfriend, Richard, which made Chandler uncomfortable and made him fail to propose to Monica.           Rachel asked her friends if they could attend a charity auction, and Phoebe and Joey agreed to go with her.  While they were talking, Ross came in, and they discussed his relationship with Elizabeth, considering that they should break up because she was too young and immature for Ross.           At the auction, Phoebe drank a lot and had a feeling of throwing up.  Joey got a boat because he thought it was a price-guessing game and he wrote a large amount of money.  He considered himself as a great captain.           Ross eventually broke up with Elizabeth, and was attacked by a water balloon.           One day, Richard told Monica that he still loved her and wanted to marry her, but was refused because the man she loved was Chandler.  The next coming days, Chandler pretended that he hated marriage because he wanted to make Monica think that there were no opportunities for them to marry.  Monica got so disappointed that she came to Richard's place.  Chandler got so nervous and looked for Monica to apologize and propose to her.  Finally, they engaged.   B.           Actually, I like all of them.            If I have to choose one character as my favorite one, that would be Monica.  Her mind is much more sensible than others, and she is calm and mature.            The character I like least may be Joey.  Though he is a funny guy, his "How are you doing" makes me feel that he is unreliable and is a womanizer. I am not fond oh this kind of man.   C.           I consider it a great method to practice listening.  My senior high school teacher used to broadcast it to improve students' listening, too.  In the episode, their pronunciation is so clear, and their tone is so nature.  I think it can also be a way to practice our speaking tone.   49777099       ACC Girls   張耀真

Q5黃郁雰

A.     Being welled-prepared to get married with Monica, Chandler made a reservation at a luxurious restaurant for his proposal.  Unfortunately, they bumped into Richard, who had fallen in love with Monica before.  So, Chandler's plan failed.  He got to pretend that he didn't care about getting marriage.  Worse, Richard showed up again to declare that he still loved Monica.  Which one should be chosen, A straight or a man talking about "pig-sex"?  Ultimately, Monica took initiative for the proposal toward Chandler.  This time, Chandler won't let her go again.

 Apart from Monica and Chandler, everyone started to think about their next steps.  In addition to his boat won from the "price-guess", Joey fought Ross for his backup in that Phoebe was both their backup.  Ross had just ended up his relation with Lizzi because she was too young to be the one he would marry.  Finally, they reached the consensus that Rachael would be Ross's backup and Phoebe would be Joey's.  What a happy ending!

B.                 Phoebe was my favorite character.  She was, of course, beautiful and thoughtful.  She was the one who always accompanied friends, such as helping Chandler to pick up the ring.  Apparently, the words she said sometimes didn't make sense but they're interesting and creative.  That's why I like her most.  Joey, a lazy man, who fooled around all days.  I don't like the ways he behave at all.  So, I like him the least.  

C.                 It is a brilliant tool!  Because all characters' pronunciations were good and clear, allowing me for correctly understand what they said.  Moreover, there are no difficult vocabularies in "Friends".  Instead, they used simple words to express stories.  After watching "Friends", my listening comprehension did improve.

A.   Ross realized that how young Elizabeth is and there will be no future between them, so he decided to break up with her. It was not a happy ending.  At the same time, Rachel went to the charity auction with Phoebe and Joey. Joey bought a boat accidentally. However, he didn't have enough money to pay for it. The most important part in this episode is that Chandler proposed to Monica. Things was not going like he expeced. They met Monica's ex-boyfriend in the restaurant. His plan was ruined, and he thought of a new one. He pretended that he didn't want to get married in his life. Monica was angry and ran away. However, they engaged in the end.   B. I like all of them, but I like Phoebe the most. She is funny. Whenever her friends are in trouble, she tries to help them, although she messed up all the time. If I have a friend like her, I will have a lot of fun in life.   C. I think Friends really increase my listening ability. I tried not to look at the substitle eveytime we watched it, and it really helps.   49777009呂佩穎Pony

A.
     Chandler has planned to proposed to Monica in a restaurant. Everything gone with the plan that day until Richard, Monica's ex-boyfriend, surprisingly  
showed up at the same restaurant.  Since Chandler was embarrassed to propose when Richard was at present, the plan had to change.  For not making Monica suspect that Chandler was going to propose, this must be a big surprise, Chandler pretended he's a guy who will never want to get married. Meanwhile, Richard told Monica the he still loved her and he wanted to marry her.  Oops, this hard situation seemed to be a dilemma to Monica. Facing this emergency, Joey decided to tell Monica everything about the plan and Chandler was going to marry her for fear that Monica will marry Richard! After knowing the fact, Monica waited Chandler to get home in the living room full of romantic candles. It's also a surprise to Chandler.  And there, they both kneel down, which was kind of funny, and he proposed to her.
 
B.
     I like Rachel the most cause she always appears to be clever but never lacks the sense of humor.  The least may be Ross. As to the reason, I actually don't know why. Or maybe because he dated with a teenage girl made me feel awkward, haha.
 
C.
     We usually learn English in a traditional way; which is, by using a text book.  It's not bad if we want to learn fundamental usage of the language. But in our daily life, in our conversation with a foreigner there are some words or expression that we may not be able to learn from textbook.  By watching "Friends" or any other English series or movies, we can not only asquire some fashionable expressions but enhance our interest in English.

Quiz 5 陳宣汝

A.
  Chandler was planning to proposal to Monica, so he took Monica to a fancy restaurant.  However, while they were in the restaurant, they bumped into Richard, Monica's ex-boyfriend.  The atmosphere was so weird that Chandler couldn't proposal.  So the plan was forced to canceled.  Chandler was afraid that his plan would be inspected, so he took Joey's advice to pretend that he is a man who will never get married.  The suggestion really worked.  Monica believed that Chandler wouldn't marry her.  That made Monica feel sad and thought their relationship had come to an end.  By that time, Richard came to tell Monica that he's still in love with her.  And if she would, he could gave her what Chandler couldn't, that is, the marriage.  Monica got confused and didn't know what to do.  After Chandler knew what Richard told Monica, he was very angry.  For god sake, Chandler found Monica finally, and of course, he proposed to her.  On the other hand, Ross decided to break up with Elizabeth.  Because he saw no future between Elizabeth and him.
 
B.
  Among these six characters, I love Joey most.  Because no matter what the difficult problems, or the depressed situations he faces, Joey can always look on the bright side and try his best to improve and wait for the next opportunity coming.  If I have to choose whom I like least, I think I'm gonna pick Ross.  Because I think sometimes Ross seems to be a kind of coward.  I don't like his hestitation at all.
 
C.
 
  I do love to watch Friends.  I've never thought that watching a foreign series episodes is much easier than I was imagining.  Besides, I learned a lot common talks and conversation skills from the series.  Some conversations are a little difficult to understand because of relating to the culture differences, but while I understand the meaning of the conversation I can also learn the cultures in America.  That's a great learning I think.

1. There are there main story lines in this episode. The most significant one is that Chandler prepared to propose to Monica in the restaurant. However, at the restaurant, they accidently encountered Richard, Monica's ex-boyfriend. Therefore, the proposal was absolutely forced to interrupt. Because of meeting Richard, Monica found that she really needed a man that gave her marriage permission and she thought Chandler was a guy who hated marriage but Richard was active to ask Monica to marry him. Therefore, she decided to go for Richard again, but she did decide to leave afterwards. Chandler, who always gave his girlfriend an impression that he did not like marriage, then proposed again in Monica's house and this time everything was perfect, so they were now engaged and their friends were all happy about them.  Then another storyline is that Joe bought a boat in an auction, which he used to think that he could get the boat for free. Although he did not have enough money, he still decided to pay by time after time. And now everything he has talked was not leaving BOAT. The last one is that Ross broke up with Elizebath because he thought she was not enough immature. They two did have the gap that was hardly crossed.

 

2. Monica is the character I love most. I think Monica is the most mature lady in Friends. She is a cook and she really knows how to take care of his friends. I have seen her excellent cooking skills in many episode and I really appreciate that. Joey is the one that I don't like most. He is always flurting with other women and seemed kind of useless in making his own livings.

 

3. I have really leaned some oral communication  skills from friends. And I think watching Friends is really an interesting way to learn English. I will keep watching other seasons in my winner holidays.

Q5黃珈瑋

A   At the beginning, Chandler wanted the proposal to be perfect, he had planned to make it at the dinner table wuth Monica's favorite champagne in the restaurant. However, unfortunately, they met Monica's ex-boyfriend, Richard, and what's worse, they even had the dinner together. After the failure, this time, Chandler wanted it to be a big supprise. And to pretend that he was not (or never) going to get married, he said something bad, the "pig sex" for example, to let Monica down. And it did work. She was so heart-broken. And, at the very moment, Richard showed up in the kitchen where she worked and told her that he still loved her and that he wanted to marry her. To help Chandler, all the friends, Rachel, Phoebe, Joe had no choice but to tell her the truth. And after Chandler back to home and open the door, all he could see was Monica standing in the candle lights! She was about to make the proposal herself! In the end, they both knelt down and Monica could finally said "Yes, I do." in response to Chandler's proposal.   B   Of the six characters, I like Rachel the most and Phoebe the least. Rachel's so witty that she is able to deal with the embarrassing situation. On the other hand, Phoebe seems to do and say stupid things. Sometimes funny, while sometimes she makes things out of control.   C   In my opinion, English subtitle is really a helpful tool. It made me listen more clearly and I could usually follow what they've said; it's good for comprehension. And if there were a new vocaburary or phrase, I could write it first and figure it out later.   49777092 Andrea 黃珈瑋 Acc Girls

"Friends" Quiz 4 (01/16)                                         Episode 6 : 25 The One with the Proposal                                                  Name: Arthur  Group: FLAG A.    Chandler was going to propose to Monica! However, his plan to give her a surprise while dining was ruined due to the presence of Monica's ex-boyfriend, Richard. What's more, Richard even asked Monica to marry him.    Rachael, Phoebe, and Joe went to a silence auction for charity. Accidentally, Joe mistook the auction as a "price-guessing"activity. He bid a boat and got it. Without so much money, Rachael helped Joe to find the "second-high" bidder and tried to convince him to buy the boat. Surprisingly, as Joe heard all the convincing words, he decided to keep the boat because it's cool to own a boat or even to be a captain. In the meanwhile, Ross was going to invite Elizabathe to a play. Nevertheless, when he was inviting her, he was bothered because Elizabathe was having a water balloon fight with her friends. He then felt the huge age gap between them and the immaturity of Elizabathe. Break-up occurred.   After Chandler found Richard's preceding proposal, Chandler argued with him, and Richard surrendered. Consequently, Chandler proposed to Monica, and they got engaged.   B.   Rachael is my favorite character since she is really beautiful, sexy, and clever. In some episodes, she responded cleverly in dangerous situations, such as when Ross and Elizabathe dated at Elizabathe's home, Rachael covered them from being found (immediately) by Paul. I appreciate her humor, too. I like to watch her performances.   Phoebe is the one I like the least. She is somewhat unpredictable and unreasonable. Sometimes, she even made some crazy things, such as backing up Ross and Joe at the same time. Her jokes sometimes were also hard to understand.   C.   Watching "Friends" is full of fun and I think it made me to be more accustomed to the speed of English foreigners speak. With subtitles on the screen and transcripts on the Internet, I can check the words I heard and those I missed one more time. I don't really know how much I improved. But I think throughout this semester, I may some day discover the improvements in listening comprehension contributed by "Friends".

At the same time, Richard showed up at her work place saying that he still loves her and wants to marry her.  Monica was so sad about Chandler that she went to Richard's house.  But she realized that the one she loved most was Chandler.  They had a romantic proposal and finally engaged.    B.  My favorite character is Rachel.  She is beautiful and I think she is very smart.  She always thinks of good ideas when facing difficulties.  The one I like least is Rose, I think he didn't think deeply when deciding whether to have Elizabeth as his girlfriend.    C.  I think I can gain a lot through watching "Friends".  I'm enjoying in watching it.  Their humor and some special phrases is what I can learn from it.  And my listening comprehension is improving as well.    [Jet] 黃韻如 49777011

Q5周婉婷

Quiz 5 A. Chandler took Monica to a fancy restaurant and was about to propose to her.  However, just as Chadler was going to ask Monica to marry him, Monica's exboyfriend, Richard was coming in the restaurant.  They had a dinner together and Chandler didn't propose to Monica.  After they came home, Ross was confused about his relationship with Elizabeth.  They asked Ross about what kind of his future with Elizabeth he wanted to be.  Not knowing what to say, Ross decided to break up with her.  After Ross talked to Elizabeth about their break-up and came out from her apartment, he felt a little sad.  When Elizabeth suddenly called him, he was happy and even thought that she wanted to make up.  However, she just threw waterballs to him.          The other day, Richard went to Monica's work place and asked Monica to marry him.  Monica was shocked but she refused.  When Monica had a lunch with Chandler, she implied that she wanted a merriage, but Chandler acted on purpose that he didn't want to be married because he wanted to give Monica a surprise.  Monica was upset and she went to talk to Richard.  On the other hand, Rachel took Phoebe and Joey to a auction of a charity.  There, Joey got a boat but he didn't have money to pay it.  Rachel helped him to find another man to have the boat so that he wouldn't have to buy it.  Nevertheless, after Rachel made a deal with that man, Joey refused just because he wanted to have the boat "Mr. Bowmont".  Couldn't find where Monica was, Chandler was upset deeply.  While he open the door, there were a lot candles in the house and Monica was at home.  He was so moved and he asked Monica to marry him with his knees knelt down.  Monica said yes and their friends came in to celebrate their engagement.   B.     Among this six characters, I like Rachel the most because she usually makes difficult things out of the dilemma and keeps herself and her friends out of trouble.  For example, one day, she went to Paul's cottage to have a date and she found Ross was there, too!  She disattracted Paul from seeing Ross and helped him hide away from Paul.  I think it is good to have such a good friend like Rachel.  On the other hand, Phoebe is the one I like the least. The reason is that she usually say something that doesn't matter and is impossible to happen in reality.  This makes me feel that she is not a practical person.   C.     I think it's a good tool to increase my listening comprehension.  When we watch Friends, we learn how to use better words and skills to communicate with others and know what kind of culture Americans have.  Unlike other methods in improving my listening ability , I learn more from watching Friends because it helps me speak English more fluently not only by voice but by vision, which impresses me much more about what I learn in the episodes.         [JeT] 49777045 周婉婷

A.

    The major story line in the this episode is that Chandler was going to propose to Monica.  First, he wanted to propose when they went to the restaurant for dinner with the great atmosphere he had planned, but Monica's former boyfriend, Richard, suddenly appeared and ruined his plan.  Then Chandler decided to lie to Monica that he didn't want a wife, but in fact to surprise her again.  However, Chandler didn't know Richard would propose to Monica, too, and ruined his plan again.  It's fortunate that Chandler still let Monica marry him at the end of the story.  The other line of this episode is that Ross broke up with Elizabeth, and Joe bought a boat in the auction.

    The way Rachel persuade a person to buy the boat was very special and smart.  Another expression that I admire is how Joe help Chandler's proposal.  Being a friend, Joe does his best to help Chandler whether when lying or when telling the truth.

 

B.

    My favorite character is Rachel.  I think she is smart and pretty.  She can always turn the troubles into other things not so bad.  In addition to this, I consider she is more rational than any other character in Friends.  The person I like least is Phoebe, because she is like a crazy woman all the time.  I think she doesn't think her words twice before she say.  Sometimes it will be funny, but if it's all the time, I think it's not fun anymore.

 

C.

    It's really can improve my listening comprehension.  I remember the first time when I watched it, I was very confused, because I couldn't really understand what it talked about.  But after this semester I can almost realize their conversations as soon as I'm watching it in the class.  I can find that it is not very difficult to get what foreigner's meaning in their conversation.

A.     The main story line is that Chandler was going to ask Monica to marry him.  He had prepared the best champagne, practiced "Would you marry me?'' for many times and chose the restaurant which is Monica's favorite.  However, when everything's got ready and Chandler was going to propose, Richard, Monica's ex-boyfriend, appeared.  This destroyed Chandler's perfect proposal, so Chandler changed his plan: he's going to pretend that he's against marriage so that he could give her a big surprise.  In the mean time, Richard told Monica how he loved her and wanted to get married with her.  But despite of this, the one who's Monica's true love was Chandler.  They engaged happily in the end.  Another story line is Ross broke up with Elisabeth.  He finally knew that they could never have a good ending.  The other story line is Rachel invited Phoebe and Joe to an auction hosted by her boss.  In the auction, Joe accidently bought an expensive boat that he couldn't afford at all.   B.     Phoebe is my favorite while Ross is the character I like least.  The reason is that Phoebe is so innocent that she viewed everything simple and easy.  I like the way she lived her life. [Although it's impractical.]  Just like SpongeBob!  In fact, everything is simple in our life!  It all depends on how you feel and your attitude towards them.  I don't like Ross so much is because he is immature to me.  He is very sensitive and he put great emphasize on speaking words.  But he is a funny guy and an indispensible character in this show!  C.     We can benefit from their conversations including the use of phrases, vocabularies, slangs, and even their talking skills!  While watching, I can also make my brain used to their speed and accents of talking and increase my listening comprehension.     49777071 [JeT] 朱育瑩

This episode is talking about Chandler's big plan. He wanted to prpose to Monica. However, things were noy going well. At the first chance, he bumped into Monica's ex-boyfriends,Rechard, and the great chance was destroyed. Then, he tried to make another surprise.
He want to make a impression on Monica that he do not want to get married, then propose again. However, Richard told Monica that he still love her, and wanted to get married with her. Worse of it, Monica was disappointed to Chandler's word, and she even thought of Richard's proposal. Thanks to Joey an thier love, Chandler finally proposed to Monica sucessfully at the time he thought he nearly lose her. What a big surprise.
B
I like Phoebe most. She's really funny. She always say something and do something crazy. She is the chracter that always make me laugh.
If there is one character that I like least, it is Ross. I don't like the way he date with Elizabeth. I think he even doesn't wehther he like her or not. It's not the way that a mature person thinking about love.
C
I think "friends" use the words that American would use. Moreover, he speak it at the normal speech. Watch "Friends" just like listen to the simple American speak English. It is it's advantage.
