Taiwan is like a diamond in Asia: Veteran educator Doris M. Brougham
“Taiwan is like a diamond in Asia,” U.S. educator and the founder ( ) of “Studio Classroom,” Doris M. Brougham, said on Wednesday.
“The Diamond is very small, but diamonds shine all around,” she added.
Doris M. Brougham, who has been working in Taiwan for more than 70 years, gave a speech at the opening event of the exhibition ( ) “Foreigners Love Taiwan” organized ( ) by the Taipei City Archives on Wednesday at the West Benevent Square ( ).
Echoing ( ) the theme of the exhibition, Brougham, 95, said she has stayed in Taiwan for more than 70 years and recalled ( ) that when she first came to Taiwan, the land was still developing and many people were facing illnesses.
The veteran educator explained that “the great thing about Taiwan is that people are very willing ( ) to change and to learn.”
She added that Taiwan is a beautiful place and that although “there are many beautiful places around the world, the place is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the people.”
The 95-year-old who has dedicated ( ) several decades to English education in Taiwan amusingly ( ) shared that buffaloes ( ) could even be seen on Zhongshan Road when she first arrived in Taiwan.
She recalled that she learned to speak Mandarin, Taiwanese, and even some indigenous ( ) languages. Yet, she stressed ( ) that the most important thing is to be able to communicate no matter what language we speak.
And we all communicate with each other based on the connection that we are all part of this beautiful island, she remarked ( ).
Brougham ended her speech by stressing that Taiwanese people are very tolerant ( ), and those who have been here all agree that Taiwanese people are very friendly.
“No matter what languages we speak, we are all people living in Taiwan and we are all Taiwanese.”
The “Foreigners Love Taiwan’ exhibition will open from March 10 to April 8, between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
‘The exhibition features three major sections ( ): “Foreigners Who Love Taiwan,” “Sentiments Beyond 100 Years,” and “High-Five Love Taiwan,” featuring ( ) the stories of foreigners who have made selfless ( ) contributions to Taiwan, such as Mackay, Marjorie Ingeleiv, Robert Swinhoe, Sidney Barton and Marjorie Landsborough, Yoichi Hatta and more.
資深教育家彭蒙惠女士 讚許台灣如鑽石般瑰麗
「台灣就像顆亞洲的鑽石，雖然面積小，但各個角落都光彩奪目，散發耀眼光芒。」空中英語教室創辦人彭蒙惠女士形容道。
在台灣深耕超過70年的彭蒙惠於週三上午參加由台北市立文獻館所舉辦位在西本願寺廣場的「吾愛台灣－愛台灣的外國人特展」開幕式活動。
呼應此次特展主題，高齡95歲的彭蒙惠表示，自己待在台灣超過70年，她回想到剛來台灣時，這片土地還在發展中，許多人面臨著病痛，在二戰結束的大環境下，台灣相較於國外復甦的更快。
彭蒙惠直截了當地點出，「台灣最大優點就是人們非常願意改變、願意學習。」
她也提到，台灣是個美麗的地方，儘管「全世界有非常多很美的地方，但地方不是最要緊的，最重要的是人。」
彭蒙惠女士奉獻台灣英語教育超過一甲子的時間，她逗趣地分享道，在她初來乍到的時代，中山路上甚至還能看到水牛在逛大街。
她表示，自己不但會說中文、閩南語、甚至還會說原住民語，然而，不管講什麼語言，最重要的是我們要能溝通，而大家彼此之間溝通連結就建立在我們都是這個美麗島嶼的一份子。
最後，她強調，臺灣人包容度非常高，且來過寶島的人都一致認同台灣人非常友善。
「不管講什麼語言，我們都是住在台灣的人，我們都是台灣人。」
「吾愛台灣——愛台灣的外國人特展」即日起到4月8日早上十點到下午五點開放民眾前往參觀。展覽分為三大展區分別是「愛台灣的外國人們」、「超越百年的情感」、「High-Five愛台灣」，展出馬偕、白寶珠、斯文豪、巴爾敦、蘭大衛與連瑪玉、八田與一等等對台灣做出無私貢獻的外國人們的事蹟。

working in中文 在 [文法] 時態文法- 看板Eng-Class - 批踢踢實業坊 的推薦與評價
想請教各位一些問題，
1.我在公司，如果我遇到同事，同事問我在這邊工作多久了
我回答: I have been working here for three years.
這句應該沒錯吧(?)，如有錯請指證
2.主要問題在這邊
如果我說 I have worked for three years in XXXX.
意思是，我在XXX公司待過三年，且現在已經離職了
還是說，只是強調我在XXX公司待過三年，沒有提供現在是否在職的訊息
3.還有我在英文文法網站有看到一句英文
You have grown since last time i saw you.
我疑問是不能用進行式、或是現在完成進行式?
還是這句強調的是在這兩年間的變化，所以選用這句
問題有點奇怪，
希望有人能解答!
非常感謝

謝謝三位高手
關於第二點還是有點疑問
1.(a) I have worked for xxx for 2 years.
我在某些公司有兩年的經驗(沒表明自己是否還在XXX公司)
1.(b)I worked for xxx for 2 years.
用過去式表達這件事情開頭-結束都在過去發生完了，所以我可以知道他已經不在那間
公司了.
1.(c)I had worked for xxx for 2 years until i left.
我在離開XXXX之前有兩年的工作經驗
所以(b)、(c)在這裡算是同樣的意思對吧?
2.gentianpan: 別忘了 context.. 長大，非成長中。Be specific, 否則會誤導
這邊有點不明白，我再花點時間翻翻英文字典了解一下
我換個例子好了
(a)如果我離開我家鄉很久，回去發現改變很多.
可以說
The town has changed a lot.
說話的點在過去到現在的改變，現在或未來有沒有改變不重要
所以我選擇用現在完成式，而不是現在完成進行式
(b)
如果今天在一個都市，看多很多公共工程正在實施
我可以說
The town is changing.
(c)
如果我朋友來找我，他的表請看起來覺得我住的地方變很多
我可以說
The town has been changing for two years.
這邊從兩年前就開始改變了(而現在也正在改變)
這樣對嗎?
因為想搞懂對錯的原因到底是文法錯誤還是情境使用錯誤
所以廢話有點多，謝謝各位了
感謝

謝謝 g大
我會有那樣的解釋主要是參考
https://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/simplepast.html
The Simple Past can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past. A duration is a longer action often indicated by expressions such as: for two years, for five minutes, all day, all year, etc.
Examples:
I lived in Brazil for two years.
Shauna studied Japanese for five years.
They sat at the beach all day.
They did not stay at the party the entir
還是他們不一樣呢?
謝謝g大 非常感謝
