一、句點
1. 句點用於當一句話完全結束時。
2. 句點也可以用於英文單詞的縮寫，如 Mrs., Dr., P.S. 等。但要注意的是當縮寫的字母形成了一個單詞的時候就不要使用句點。如 IBM, DNA等。

二、？問號
問號要用在一個直接的問句，而不是間接的。如 How will you solve the problem？是正確的用法，但用在 I wonder how you will solve the problem？就不對了，應該使用句點而不是問號。
另外，在客氣的用語中，也是用句點而不是問號。例如：
Will you please give me a call tomorrow.

江軒宇 Reflection: Home

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

In this film, we can clearly see what we have done to our Earth. We have taken so many things for granted, yet still we keep on increasing the want of resources. Take meat for an example, humans plant grains not for people, but mostly for livestock. The demand for meat ascends each year, but we have never thought about those who starve in different countries around the world. To satisfy the minorities’ greed, we sacrifice the lives of majority. Also, because of the Industrial Revolution, the oil marker’s status has greatly been lifted. Although it brings a convenient and efficient world, the side effects, or in other words, “major effects” are global warming and the crisis of resources. Fossil fuel is a non-renewable resource which takes up to millions of years to generate. The gasses released when burning fossil fuel, causing global warming which endangers animals including humans. If we don’t face these problems, human beings eventually will become extinct. If everyone can take some more time to think about our planet and less about ourselves, I believe the Earth would become our one and only HOME.

李婉怡 Reflection: Home

Kimberly Vardeman

The film shows us the changing process of the Earth. It tells us the miracles of lives. For example, the beginning of our earth is chaos. There are no creatures or lives. However, the climate and temperature changed, we have a proper environment to live.

    Humans are very important in the natural chain, but we’re not the dominator of the Earth. We could use our technology and intelligence to change the world and make it fit for us more. But, we’re still restrained by nature. We could not survive even though everything is fine only trees are disappeared. We should have a notion that, protecting nature is protecting ourselves.

Chapter VIII. Narration

Chapter VIII. Narration

A. The narrative essay

1. A narrative essay can be written in novel or essay form.

2. The narrative essay makes and supports a point. (Thesis statement).

3. It is told from a particular point of view (often told from the author’s). Narratives are generally written in the first person, that is, using I. However, third person (he, she, or it) can also be used.

4. It is filled with precise details (that are to explain, support, or embellish the story. You can include some sensory details to get the reader involved in the elements.) Narratives rely on concrete, sensory details to convey their point.

5. It relies on personal experiences. It can be based on one of your own experiences, either past or present, or it can be based on the experiences of someone else.

6. If you are writing a story, you must include all the conventions of storytelling: plot, character, setting, climax, and ending.

7. A narrative essay also communicates a main idea or a lesson learned.

HOME by Yann Atrhus-Bertrand

75:59

We have created phenomena we cannot control.

Since our origins,

water, air and forms of life are intimately linked.

But recently we have broken those links.

Let's face the facts.

We must believe what we know.

All we have just seen is a reflection of human behavior.

We have shaped the Earth in our image.

We have very little time to change.

How can this century carry the burden of 9 billion human beings

if we refuse to be called to account

for everything we alone have done?

男女兩性婚姻及其形成之家庭的普世價值 駁以「婚姻平權」為理由將民法親屬篇婚姻章節條款去男女兩性化之修法提案/柯志明

男女兩性婚姻及其形成之家庭的普世價值

駁以「婚姻平權」為理由將民法親屬篇婚姻章節條款去男女兩性化之修法提案

柯志明

靜宜大學生態人文學系副教授、臺灣大學哲學系兼任副教授

20131122 臺灣大學法律學系霖澤館視聽教室

       立法院已一讀通過由民進黨立法委員尤美女、鄭麗君等提案修訂我國民法親屬篇，將婚姻配偶去男女兩性化，宣稱如此做是為了實踐「婚姻平權」，使同性戀者與異性戀一樣得以合法結婚。若修法成功，我國將合法化所謂的「同性婚姻」，同性結合（same sex union）將被國家法律所認同。這絶不只是親屬法律的修訂，更是基本倫常秩序的根本變更，也是有關性、婚姻、家庭之普世倫理意義及關係的變革。

    當臺灣正明顯快速地步上歐美將性、愛情、婚姻、生育、家庭之整體性與連續性割裂開來之風潮的後塵時，我們一定要問：如此修訂民法親屬篇是否合理？修訂後我們的社會將更好還是更壞？為此，在決定是否支持修法前，我們應該仔細詢問並思想：何謂婚姻？何謂婚姻平權？同性別者可否結婚？同性婚姻是否為......（繼續閱讀）文章出處連結

Chapter VI.

How to write a motivation letter[1] (Cover Letter)

A. The Cover Letter (CL) is the document that accompanies your CV when you are applying for a job. For academic purposes, the document used is typically called statement of purpose, and is laid out after somewhat different rules. The CL is short (200-250 words), with a quite rigid structure and has the layout of a letter. Its goal is to introduce the CV, to bring to attention aspects of your activity that can help your application and are not listed or not presented in the proper light in the CV. In short, its goal is to answer the recruiter's question: "Why should I hire this person?".

Chapter V. How to write a Curriculum Vitae (CV)

Chapter V.

How to write a Curriculum Vitae (CV)[1]

A.The CV (resume, in American English) is meant to introduce you and your background to somebody who does not know you and barely has time to get to know you. It should present you in the best possible light, in a concise and well-structured manner.

B. A regular CV for business purposes should definitely not go over one A4 page. If you intend to use it for academic purposes and not for a job, the CV can pass that limit, on the condition that you use the extra space to describe academic activities, like conferences, publications list, etc.

C. A well-written CV shows first what is most important, but contains all relevant information. To this goal, we advise you to adapt it to your target (specific type of job or scholarship).

    1.此次「法務部開會通知單」（102年9月30日，法律字第10203510820號）所附〈法務部「同性伴侶法制化意見交流座談會」計畫書〉之「會議目的」明言：「依據『公民與政治權利國際公約、經濟社會文化權利國際公約中華民國初次報告國際審查會議結論意見』第78點意見，我國現行法律缺乏對婚姻家庭多樣性之認可，且只有異性婚姻受到認可而不包括同性婚姻或同居關係，因此，國外專家認為未規範同性伴侶組成家庭之權利，是對同性伴侶的歧視，並否定了同性夫婦或同居伴侶的權益保障」，故如何回應此兩公約之國際審查意見，乃此次座談之目的。
