Hello, everybody! My name consists of two words, Kaye and Cee, but you can just call me Kaye. I am a native English speaker from the Philippines, and I'm going to be your new foreign English teacher here at Datong Elementary School. Back in the Philippines, I was a private school teacher and an English as a Second Language teacher. Before I came to Taiwan, I took my licensure exam for teachers, and fortunately, I passed it. I also obtained my C2 (English Proficient Level certificate) and TESOL certificate (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) because I wanted to have a strong background in the English language.
As a person, I can say that I am a very passionate teacher. I would love to provide my students with a positive learning environment and help them realize how important English is in their lives. I know it might be difficult for them to learn that because it's not their first language, but I'm sure they can do it—they just need the right teacher to help them. I am very grateful for the opportunity to help them.
Regarding my hobbies and interests, I really, really love vlogging. Actually, it started here in Taiwan because, as you know, Taiwan has a lot of great places to visit, delicious food to taste, and wonderful experiences to share. I wanted to make videos about that because I want my fellow Filipinos to know and realize that Taiwan is a really great place to live. I also enjoy vlogging because when I get older and might forget things, I'll have videos to look back on.
Once again, I am very grateful for the opportunity to teach here at Datong Elementary School, and I promise to do my best to help the students and the school grow. That's all.
大家好！我的名字由兩個字組成，Kaye和 Cee，但你可以叫我 Kaye。我來自菲律賓，是一名以英語為母語的講者，我將成為大同國小的新外籍英語教師。在菲律賓時，我曾是一名私立學校老師和英語作為第二語言的老師。在來台灣之前，我參加了教師資格考試，幸運地通過了。我也獲得了 C2 英語專業水平證書和 TESOL 教學證書，這是教導其他語言使用者的英語教學資格。我這樣做是因為我希望在英語語言方面擁有堅實的背景。
作為一個人，我可以說我是一位非常有熱情的老師。我希望能為學生提供一個積極的學習環境，我希望他們能夠意識到英語在他們生活中的重要性。我知道對他們來說，學習英語可能很困難，畢竟這不是他們的母語，但我相信他們可以做到——他們只需要一位合適的老師來幫助他們。而且，我非常感激有這個機會來幫助他們。
關於我的興趣和嗜好，我非常非常喜歡拍攝 vlog。其實，這個興趣是在台灣開始的，因為你知道，台灣有很多好玩的地方，很多美食可以品嚐，還有許多值得分享的好經歷。我想製作這些視頻，是因為我希望我的菲律賓同胞能夠知道並且意識到台灣真的是個很好的居住地。此外，我也喜歡拍攝 vlog，因為當我年紀漸長、可能會忘記一些事情時，這些視頻將成為我回憶的依據。
再次感謝大家給我這個機會來大同國小任教，我承諾我會盡我所能來幫助學生和這所學校成長。就這些了。
On October 8th, Datong Elementary School held a press conference for a special book donation. Principal Lee expressed deep gratitude to Amy Lin, the head of Books for Taiwan, for her dedication to bringing valuable English books from both U.S. public and school libraries to Taiwan. These books, which had reached the end of their circulation period, are now being repurposed as free resources for students in Taiwan, offering them new opportunities to learn and grow. The president of Datong’s Parent Association, Mr. Chen, along with the Wujangde Charity Organization, generously covered the shipping costs from the U.S. to Taiwan, ensuring these resources reached the school. Luke Lin, founder of My Culture Connect, played a crucial role in connecting the school with this wonderful initiative. Thanks to the kindness of so many people, the students’ English education will greatly improve.
大同國小於10月8日舉行了一場贈書記者會。李校長特別感謝Books for Taiwan負責人Amy Lin女士，感謝她長期致力於從美國的公立圖書館與學校圖書館將許多寶貴的英文書籍寄送到台灣。這些書籍已經到了圖書館的流通期限，如今被重新利用，成為台灣學生們免費的學習資源，提供他們更多的學習機會。大同國小家長會會長陳先生與武將德慈善功德會慷慨支付了從美國運送到台灣的運費，確保這些資源順利送達學校。My Culture Connect創辦人Luke Lin先生在促成此次捐書活動中也扮演了重要角色。感謝這麼多人熱心的幫助，學生們的英語教育將會大大提升。

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the Datong News Beat! We've got some important news to share with you today. It's September 13th, 2024, and at exactly 9:21 this morning, our school held a 921 Earthquake Drill. The goal of the drill was to make sure that if we ever experience an earthquake, we know how to stay calm and protect ourselves.
Students, you all did an amazing job today! Right when the drill started, everyone quickly followed the teachers’ instructions—no pushing, no messing around. Everyone got down low and covered their heads just like they were supposed to. When it was safe, you all lined up and walked to the athletic field in an orderly manner. Nobody ran, and that made everything go so smoothly. I really think our students are excellent role models!
This drill showed us that when we’re faced with dangerous situations like an earthquake, it’s important to stay calm and follow directions. That’s how we can keep ourselves and those around us safe. And don’t forget the key steps when an earthquake hits: “Drop, Cover, and Hold On.” When the ground starts shaking, drop down, find something sturdy to cover yourself, and hold on until it’s safe to move.
Alright, that’s it for today’s news! Thanks for tuning in to the Datong News Beat. See you next time! And remember, safety first!
大家好！歡迎收聽 大同新聞快報！今天我們有一則很重要的消息要和大家分享。今天是2024年9月13日，早上9點21分，我們學校舉行了九二一大地震的防災演練。這次演練的目的，是要確保我們在遇到地震的時候能夠保持冷靜，並知道如何保護自己。
同學們，今天你們的表現非常棒！ 演練一開始的時候，大家都迅速地照著老師的指示行動，沒有推擠，也沒有嬉鬧。每個人都乖乖地趴下，並保護好自己的頭部。當確認安全後，大家依序排隊，慢慢走到 操場，秩序井然，沒有人亂跑，這讓整個演練進行得非常順利。我覺得我們學校的學生真的是很好的榜樣！
這次的演練讓我們學會了，在面對地震等危險情況時，我們要保持冷靜，並聽從指示，這樣才能保護好自己和身邊的人。對了，大家一定要記住地震來時的口訣：「趴下、掩護、穩住」。當地震發生時，先趴下，找個穩固的地方掩護自己，然後穩住別動，等到地震結束後再行動哦！
好啦，今天的新聞就到這裡！感謝大家收聽 大同新聞快報，我們下次再見囉！記得，安全第一！
