A: Hi, I lost a credit card on the MRT, and the credit card company just informed me that somebody had handed it in to lost property. The lost item number is 310178596.
D: OK, give me a second…ah, yes, it is currently at Zhongshan Junior High School Station. If you don’t have time to go and claim it before midnight tonight, it will be sent to the Metro Lost and Found at Taipei Main Station MRT tomorrow.
A: OK, I understand. So that means the kind person who found it on the train handed it in to the information counter when they got off at Zhongshan Junior High School Station. I’m so grateful.

Bananas are one of the most commonly seen and eaten fruits. Eating bananas brings many benefits, such as replenishing energy and lowering blood pressure, and can even improve your mood. There is a rumor going around online that you should not eat bananas every day because they are a high-potassium food that can damage your kidneys if you eat too many, but the Health Promotion Administration (HPA) says only people with impaired kidney function have a metabolic deficiency that compels them to avoid eating bananas every day. Bananas are classified as a medium-potassium food, containing about 325 milligrams of potassium per
A: Don’t forget, the class selection period begins tomorrow. B: Wow, thanks for reminding me. I had completely forgotten! A: Are you brain dead after the Lunar New Year? B: You bet.

A: 加退選的時間從明天開始喔，不要忘記了！ B: 哇，謝謝你提醒。我都忘得一乾二淨了！ A: 過個年腦袋都空掉了，是吧？ B: 對呀，我現在滿腦子只有美食和電玩。 A: 雖然加退選的時間有一個禮拜，可是熱門的課名額很快就滿了，我們手腳還是要快一點。 （Translated by Paul Cooper, Taipei Times／台北時報林俐凱） English 英文: Chinese 中文:

B: Hmm, yes, but I think it’s a good idea to take more classes in the first and second years, so that the third and fourth years are more relaxed. A: That makes sense. That’ll be why my
I really want to take that class! (3/5) 我好想要加選喔！（三） A: I flunked the Freshman English class last semester. Does that mean that I can’t continue with the class next semester? B: Let’s have a look. Hmm, this class goes for the whole academic year, so you can still take the class next semester, but you will need to retake the one you failed last semester. A: Do you mean that in the sophomore year I will have to take the first year English class together with freshman students? I don’t like the sound of that: how embarrassing! B: Oh, it’s not that bad!
