Hello karen,
I must be the last member to join the eclass before you. That means I
have to wish you a warm welcome between us and tell you that people are nice
here and always ready and available for help.
I hope you enjoy your moments with us and hopefully we will be having a
great improvement in our English languages skills.
I have inserted your name in my list of friends in Yahoo Messenger.
That means we'll be having a chat very soon.

Introduction to my hometown - the city of
Taipei
Today I would like to introduce to all of you my hometown - Taipei. The
City is not only the biggest but also the capital of my country - Taiwan.
Taipei city is situated in the north of Taiwan and it is surrounded by
mountains. During summer time, the average temperature is about 28~32 degrees
celsius, and there are thunderstorms in the afternoon usually. Therefore, it's
really hot and humid in the summer. In addition, summer is the typhoon season
as well.
The city covers an area of 271.77 square kilometers and the population
has reached about 2.64 million. As you can see, Taiepi is a very crowded city.
Fortunately, we have built a rapid public transit system; thus, traffic jams
and air pollution are no longer big problems.
The best part of living in Taipei is that there is a great variety of
arts, cultural activities, and scenic attraction areas nearby. The National
Palace Museum, for example, houses hundreds of thousands of Chinese antiques
and art works. I believe its collections of Chinese antiques and art works are
the most abundant in the whole world. The museum is located in the north of the
city and is a must-see for lovers of ancient Chinese culture. Why does the
National Palace Museum have more Chinese art collections than those of Mainland
China? It's a long story. Let's talk about it some other time.
