You must be brave to

say that a famous per-

son in China has done

something wrong.

Last December, Cai-

jing, the business mag-

azine where Luo

Changping, aged 32,

works, had an article

which said that Liu

Tienan's wife and son

had stolen a lot of

money. Mr. Luo also

wrote three articles on

Weibo, which Chinese

people use instead of

Twitter, saying that

Liu Tienan and his

family had gotten

money illegally from

Chinese banks.

Then, for months,

both Mr Luo and the

Chinese media were

silent. That is, until

Sunday, 6 December,

when the Chinese po-

lice went to talk to Mr

Liu about his money.

Many newspapers be-

gan to write about it.

Mr Liu has also been

fired from his im-

portant job.

International Week

Phil Sced, editor

Focus, discipline,

hard work, goal set-

ting and, of course,

the thrill of finally

achieving your goals.

These are all bene-

fits of participating

in sport so I was

happy to see so

many teachers and

students together on

the field during the

ILC’s first ever In-

ternational Week

last month. Through

the activities, I saw

skills and strengths

in students and

teachers that I

would otherwise nev-

er have seen.

Liu Tienan, famous politician

of shoes. But city dwellers

bought shoes that were made

in factories, delivered by rail-

roads, displayed in shop win-

dows, and sold only for cash.

The factories produced more

products, but you no longer

knew the people who made

them. There was advertising

everywhere, but you didn’t

know the people who were

selling the products. Also the

gap between the “haves” and

the “have nots” increased

and was more visible in the

city.

I cannot begin to tell you how

important the Industrial

Revolution was in a para-

graph this small. During the

Industrial Revolution you

could move from a small

farm to a large city. You

could make a lot of money

and spend it on new consum-

er products. There were also

new problems. In a small

town you probably knew the

man who made your shoes.

You could barter with him or

delay payment for a new pair

What else do you know about

the effects of the Industrial

Revolution? Why not write in

and tell the editor?

So what is a monastery exact-

ly? A monastery is a communi-

ty of men or women (monks or

nuns) who have decided to

leave society to focus on their

religion. It can be difficult to

focus on prayer and religion

when time needs to be spent

on everyday activities such as

cooking and raising children.

Monasteries, then, were creat-

ed to allow monks or nuns to

pray on behalf of the common

people, who were too busy to

pray. And so the monastery

Quotation of the Month

Student of the Month: Ginny

Issue 7,


In the recitation contest, we

had three poems to choose

from. When I read Homer’s

Odyssey, it was as though I

heard a voice saying, “Yes,

it’s you!” I could feel the pow-

er and beauty of this epic. I

decided to take up the chal-

lenge of reciting it.

I started to research the

background and meaning of

the story. I imagined that I

was Odysseus’s wife. What

would I do? How would I feel?

And I tried to use this mood

to interpret “The Odyssey”. I

practiced it with my class-

mates and recited it many

times in one day. I could feel

the painful sadness and the

power of rebirth when I read

it.

On the evening of the con-

test, I saw many people prac-

ticing their poems. It made

me nervous, but I believed in

myself and my friends helped

me relax. When I stood on

the stage and started to re-

cite, all the fear left me. I im-

agined I was Odysseus and

simulated his emotions to re-

cite. It was a magical mo-

ment like I had never experi-

enced before.

Through this contest, I

learned that recitation is not

only reading. I had to bring

the text to life, or rather, I

had to let the text bring me

to life. If you read it, you may

experience it and recite it dif-

ferently from how I did. The

contest also helped me to

grow in confidence by facing

an audience.

Recitation Contest, Advanced Level, 1st Prize Winner

Wise men talk because they have

something to say; fools, because

they have to say something.

聰明人說話，是因為有些話要說；蠢人

說話，則因為要說些話。
