Is 宵夜街 an appropriate place to dine? (Revised version 2-2)

     Due to located in rural area at Chungli, 宵夜街 became the main dine place for NCU students, but their comments about 宵夜街 have long diverged.

         “It is too good to be true” screamed Henry with joy, a freshman in School of Management. The low-price but plentiful meals attract him a lot. “ 宵夜街 save me a great deal of budget for me. Here, I have the same delicacy but at much lower cost than in Taipei” Henry remarked.

          “But the street is shabby and messy” said Henry. “The dirty surrounding erodes my good mood to eat.”

         However, for Kent, a English department student, 宵夜街 is another story.

        “Oh gosh, I wish I could have other alternative beside it!” Kent shouted, with helpless agony. Doubtlessly, he couldn’t ignore the benefit from cheap food here, but “the quality is sometimes far from restaurant outside NCU and the food choice is monotonous.” Moreover, Kent added, as same as what Henry commented, “the crowded and disordered street really discourage me from having my dinner here!”

        However, with an eye to 宵夜街’s irreplaceable convenience, Kent, as other students whether they like it or not, has no choice but to keep eating everyday there.

       As the main choice for students, the change in 宵夜街 is absolutely important. But for limited profit, it is less likely that shops here revise spontaneously. Hence, school authority should create incentive for them more keenly. By, for example, introducing quality-assessment competition, I believe 宵夜街 will become more and more desirable. 

For Final Project2

     For our final project, we have made several progress now:

     To begin with, we've reached our consensus that what our angle should be based on. Basically, we will stand on dog-lover side but we will try to be objective. For us, we believe there must be much more proper, peace way to tackle stray-dog problem rather than slaughter them all.

      We will conduct our research on five questions mainly on interview. For some of classmates' suggestion, we have done several revision to make our gist more clear and more comprehensive. After subtle improvement, our new version comes as five questions categorized into three main parts. The first part primarily discuss why stray dogs in NCU annoy people. Hence, we come up with two questions: what is the main problems that dogs caused and does dogs influence class quality (probably done in a simple research). Then in second part, we will interview six people, including dog lovers and haters. Here, we want to support our first category by getting the idea from our interviewees directly. We want to know how they feel about stray dogs problem. Eventually in last part, we will talk with both School and 汪汪社, which both in charge of management of these dogs. We want to understand how they function and what is the challenge they may confront in their duty. After concluding all the data we've collected, we will provide our suggestion and opinion as our ending.

        Next week will be very exciting for our team. We will start our interview and questionnaire right away. I can’t wait to find out the result!

Comments to final project1

     Stray dog problem has long remained controversial: For some regarded these dogs as our best friends, the innocent soul mates. Thus we should treat them with respect and love. On the other side, however, there are also many people take these dogs as the source of trouble: Due to their annoying barking, flees brought from their fur and their occasionally-erupting brutality, we should exile them from campus with an eye to build a high-quality studying surrounding.

     Now, I’m glad that our group opt this topic as our final project. On the one hand, I like some of these stray dogs. Sometimes I play with them. Their purely keenness and excitement always melt down my stress. But on the other hand, complaints toward these dogs often flood into my ears from my friends and even some of my teachers. Their loatheness reminds me how difficult this issue it is.

    Thus, I always wonder if there is a possible way which can make peace among dogs’ right, human and campus. For this final project may become my answer to my question. Until now, my teammates and I have already selected several interviewers. Some of them come from dog-protect club in school (汪汪社) while some represent the opposite power in stray dogs-protecting in N.C.U.  I’m convinced that our group eventually will come out with detail explanation and constructive suggestions to ameliorate both dogs and human’s life.

Respond toward Suggestion2

     To start with, some readers advised me to notice several grammar errors, especially for rule of quotation. In an interview quotation, according to grammar, for example “ “------ “ said Henry” , to clarify who makes the announcement, we often use V+S structure instead of S+V since it is an inverted sentence. I accept this idea. However, in my opinion, form is flexible if situation requires. Hence, S+V is sometime acceptable if it can convey ideas more clearly.

     Besides, some suggest that I should add more innovative elements into my article for instance the angle from shopkeepers, since 宵夜街 has already been well-known among NCU students. I admit I neglect this part. Initially, I just want to clear out how NCU students feel about 宵夜街 and why they like or oppose it. Thus, I vary my last paragraph. I talk more about the obstacle for future of 宵夜街 may face and what exactly school authority can do to make it better.

     Then, some says the quotation is vague in some way and my thought inside is not strong enough. To this point, I’ve revised word-form, hoping it will make the quotation is more concrete. Moreover, I’ve added my sincere wish to the future of 宵夜街 at the end of my work.

     In the long run, I want to show my gratitude toward those who gives complements and suggestions. Reader’s opinions make me write more perfect.

        “Oh gosh, I wish I could have other alternative beside it!” Kent shouted, with a dim of helpless expression. Doubtlessly, he couldn’t ignore the benefit from cheap food there, but “the quality is far from restaurant outside NCU and the food choice is monotonous.” Moreover, Kent added, as same as what Henry commented, “the crowded and disgusting street sometime really discourage me from having my dinner there!”

        However, with an eye to 宵夜街’s irreplaceable convenience, Kent has no choice but to keep eating everyday there. Consequently, he sincerely hope school authority will conduct revision in 宵夜街 soon, “ making it more tidy ,hygienic and introducing more competitive restaurant to here.” Kent urged.

For students in NCU, 中大宵夜街 is the synonym for dining. However, it is sometimes controversial. 中大宵夜街 sometimes represents cheap and convenient while sometimes chaos and unclean.
