Shu-fen's (Isabelle's) Introduction


Hi, my name is Wang, Shu-fen in Chinese. It is difficult to remember and pronounce, so I have an English name, "Isabelle," for everyone outside my country. I come from Taiwan, which is an island in Asia. People sometimes call it "Formosa," which means 'a beautiful island.'

I am very lucky that this is my 4th time to the States! I will stay here until next June or December. I am very excited to have this opportunity to talk about my culture with you. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.

Best wishes to all--

Isabelle

Dear Isabelle,

What about these 3 names, Shu-Fen, Wang and Isabelle?

Is the life in Taiwan better after the economic growth in that region?

Dear friends:

First, I am sorry about late replying. It is my first time to do this, I had no experience about this. Until this morning, I received the mail from Mr. Oliver, I knew that there were several questions waiting for my answers.

Wang is my last name and Shu-fen is my first name. In my country, families and friends call me "Shu-fen", but this is Chinese, maybe it is a little bit difficult for people, who are not Chinese, to remember and pronounce, that is the reason I have an English name "Isabelle".

In my opinion, our life in Taiwan was better before 2000. Maybe because the economy of the whole world and for the polity in our country, it becomes worse. (this is my thinking)

I am married and have 3 kids: two boys and a girl, who are 13, 10 and 7 years old. Concerning my age, I would like everyone to guess according to my picture. Do you think how old I am? I am curious and then I will let you know the answer.

I came here because my husband's work. My husband and kids are all together in Arizon. I do not work either in my country and in USA. Although I have no work, I am still very busy; taking care of my family, learning and being a volunteer in school or in church.

In our country, Buddhism and Taoism are popular, but I am a little bit different from my family - I am a christian. I think I am lucky that my mother did not stop me to be a christian.

I enjoy the life here and I like to study too, especially in English. Right now, I am taking the class in Community College, that is why I have the chance to talk to you. Do you still have other questions about me?
