Many of the people who come to visit this blog were or are students of the Criterion Virtual Writing Class. You began to know Stephanie, who guided you through the 6 weeks of the course in her PPTs, and learnt many things about writing an essay. As a Virtual Teacher, I saw many of you improve your writing, going from strength to strength. It was beautiful.
前幾天有去跨年嗎？是看了101煙火，還是跟三五好友在家開跨年派對呢?這次Riana要跟大家分享她的跨年活動，看看跟我們有什麼不一樣！
Counting down to the New Year is one of the most exciting things to happen at the end of the year. During this event I am usually with my friends, hanging by the bridge in my hometown, waiting for the fireworks display to start.

Riana在澳洲的時候，有一個最大的嗜好是和他的朋友一起下廚，他們通常會選定一個主題，決定今天要做哪一國的料理。
你喜歡烹飪嗎？或許下次你會在超級市場遇到正在採買食材的Riana喔！別忘了跟他打個招呼
今年20歲的Riana有個雙胞胎哥哥，她與哥哥的感情很好，是彼此的最佳玩伴，他們兩個甚至在7歲的時候就自己搭飛機到美國去，飛機上同行的乘客都對他們感到不可思議！

現在，在這個地球村，每個人隨時都會遇到來自不同國家的朋友，發生不同的故事。就像在Criterion線上英文寫作班，線上老師來自不同的國家，你可以在他們身上看到許多有趣的故事。因此我們希望幫助你學會使用英語，讓你可以更輕鬆與來自世界各地的人交流，認識更多新朋友
上週末，Riana到了熱情的南台灣 - 高雄，參與AIESEC一年一度的會員大會。來自世界各地的AIESEC學生，在這個活動中相互認識與交流。
As a member of AIESEC, I am often invited to go many places. Last weekend, AIESEC in Taiwan held their summer national conference in Kaohsiung . They asked me to join them for the weekend, because I have work during the rest of the week. The thing that I love most about AIESEC conferences is the energy! You gather up the young people from all across Taiwan and prepare for a most wonderful experience to happen.
很多人喜歡旅行，在旅行的途中其中一個最吸引的人的地方便是你可以到一個新的環境，認識新的朋友！
