17 Again!

我喜歡書，我喜歡做書。我的學生五月二日要成發，我們準備了很美麗的成發本，雖然名義上是成發本，我把它想做一本很正式的書來看待。

I like books, and I like to make books. For the coming presentation of my students on May, 2nd, we prepared a very beautiful brochure for the guests. Though it's just a "brochure," I treated it as a book while preparing it. 

        孩子們為成發想出了很棒的主題：回到十七歲！在成發會上，時間快轉到三十年後，每個人都事業有成，但一切都是因為十七歲那一年的專題作業，他們因此決定了未來的人生方向，我喜歡這個主題的野心和夢想，非常青春熱血。

   The girls thought of a fantastic theme for the presentation: 17 again! In the presentation, it's 2044. Thirty years from now on, they are all successful people in different fields. However, when they look back, they know they were inspired by the big project done at the age of 17. I love the ambition and dream this theme evokes. It's so full of youthful passion. 

        我對於每個年紀的孩子有不同的要求，開始做書之前，我便想好今年我會給孩子們很大的空間，所以除了給意見之外，這本書是孩子們自己完成的，我只有做最後的校對，孩子們真的進步好多喔！

   I have different expectations for kids of different ages. Before making the book, I told myself to give the girls much space. Thus, apart from offering advice, I hardly interfered. I only proofread the text before sending it to print. I really have to declare with pride that they have made AMAZING progress! 

        十七歲真好！

   How WONDERFUL it is to be 17!
