In dinner time, the ancient believe that when they eat fish for dinner in Lunar new year, they should left some part of fish.

because they trust that when you go to new year means you left something in previous year, so that was why they should left some part of fish. and it was just tradition.

everyone will busy on that day, the food store, restaurant and such of that will get much money since Taiwanese will celebrate it outside home too either with their family or friends.

How Important Destination Language For Foreign Students

Many case will be found that when we study abroad, we will face language barrier. and i felt that right now. even if destination university provide international class, sometimes they also will included local student in that class. so sometimes the Professor will use bilingual language. for the local student and foreigner.

Something that make me sad is that when i join group meeting, so everybody is prefer to use their own language to communicate each other then English language, so i am minority, and sometimes when i come to my group meeting i will not get anything since i do not know their language and mandarin language is the most difficult in worldwide.

So my suggestion to all of students who want pursue study to abroad, you should learn destination language because it will be so important and give big contribution to your study.

so prepare it beside English language skill

Languages is the main important guys...

Paper

Paper yang saya maksudkan disini bukanlah bahasa inggris untuk kertas . Namun sebuah tulisan ilmiah yang seringkali erat kaitannya dengan dunia pendidikan atau penelitian. Bagi yang masih berkutat dengan dunia perkuliahan, seringkali kita mendapatkan tugas untuk membuat paper dari dosen kita. Atau mungkin bagi yang akan maju ujian tugas akhir, thesis atau disertasi, kita perlu membuat paper sebagai resume (atau bahkan bagi yang akan membuat proposal tugas akhir, bisa digunakan untuk menuangkan ide kita). Termasuk bagi peneliti atau dosen yang ingin melakukan publikasi juga dituntut untuk membuat paper. Lalu bagaimanakah cara membuat paper yang baik ?

Membuat paper yang baik memang sulit, namun kita bisa mencobanya. Bongkar-bongkar dari materi kuliah Technical English Writing yang saya ambil semester lalu, ada beberapa hal yang ingin saya bagi (baru sempat nulis skr ). Bagi yang punya pengalaman lain monggo silahkan kalau mau berbagi. Materi ini adalah untuk english writing tapi saya akan coba sadur dalam Indonesia. Semoga bermanfaat.

Paper terdiri dari beberapa bagian (intinya berisi hal-hal berikut, tidak menutup kemungkinan untuk menyelipkan bagian lain yang dianggap penting) :

• Judul dan nama penulis beserta keterangan untuk penulis (institusi dan email jika ada, atau nomer registrasi mahasiswa dan email untuk tugas kuliah)
• Abstract yang merupakan rangkuman dari paper kita
• Introduction (pendahuluan), biasanya berisi hal-hal berikut (tulis garis besarnya saja) :
• deskripsi yang jelas tentang permasalahan (disebut juga dengan tujuan (purpose))
• Tunjukkan mengapa permasalahan ini penting, menarik, dan menantang (motivasi)
• Review yang singkat dan jelas mengenai penelitian sebelumnya yang menjadi dasar penelitian kita (scope)
• Tunjukkan gap/masalah yang ada pada penelitian sebelumnya dan menjadi pertanyaan yang ingin kita selesaikan dalam penelitian kita (gap indication)
• Tulis dengan jelas solusi yang diusulkan (proposed approach) dan bagaimana ia bisa mengatasi gap yang kita sebutkan sebelumnya (solution)
• Tuliskan secara global penemuan yang dihasilkan (result)
• Tuliskan struktur penulisan bagian-bagian berikutnya (outline)
• Related Work (penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya yang mendasari penelitian kita). Related work inilah yang nantinya akan kita tuliskan ke dalam daftar referensi.
• Methodology (untuk bidang komputer atau penelitian yang ada hubungannya dengan komputer dapat menggunakan istilah system architecture). Jelaskan methodology yang digunakan, biasanya dijelaskan dengan bagan atau gambar untuk mempermudah pembaca memahami isi paper kita. Jelaskan pula deskripsi masing-masing bagian dalam gambar kita tersebut.
• Experiment & result. Tuliskan eksperiment yang kita lakukan (data yang digunakan, jumlah data, sumber, dll) dan tuliskan hasil yang didapatkan beserta analisa dari hasil yang kita peroleh
• Discussion. Tuliskan hal-hal yang ingin anda sampaikan dan isue yang menarik dari penelitian yang kita lakukan. Termasuk kesimpulan dan saran untuk penelitian kita lebih lanjut. Saran biasanya identik dengan future work.
• Referensi, berisi semua referensi yang kita gunakan termasuk daftar paper di related work, buku atau resource yang mendukung yang kita gunakan untuk menyelesaikan penelitian kita.

Untuk proposal tugas akhir cukup gunakan point no 1, 3, 4, 5, dan 8, pada bagian metodologi perjelas input, proses dan output. Atau sesuaikan dengan template yang diberikan di universitas.

So, bagi yang mendapatkan tugas untuk buat paper, entah untuk dikumpulkan sebagai tugas kuliah, atau untuk dipublikasikan tak ada salahnya untuk mampir menikmati catatan saya kali ini

how come we can get the part time job :
1. Language : English and resident language/the place to pursue study
2. Attitude : behave and make sure everything is OK
3. Skill : always Carefully and Faster in working

about salary, if we compare between Indonesia and Taiwan, part time job's salary in Taiwan would really satisfied, for example 1 month work in restaurant, twice in a week, we can get about 5.000 NT it is equal with almost 2.000.000 Rupiahs

so in my point of view, no reason for international students from developing country who pursue study to develop country will feel burden in economic
