THE CLI-FI REPORT

Hello Wolf,

I am a reporter in Taiwan, 15 years, from Boston USA, now in
Chiayi..... used to work for Taipei Times, now freelance writer'and
teach Engliush at Chung Cheng University in Minschiung...

I read the newspaper story about your ENGLISH VILLAGE and what i want
to propose to you and Dr Lin the principal of Dongren JHS is this

A monthly or quarterly ENGLISH NEWSPAPER, just 4 pages, one sheet of
paper folded to make pages 1 2 3 and 4. Mostly all in English,
about life in Huwei, fun things, photos of local people and local
stores with English signs etc, and the paper is for the English
leaners
in Huwei, not for foreigners but for the people of Huwei, to see their
town reported about in English about their English Village activities,
to get
used to seeing and reading an English newspaper in order to help boost
their English skills and confidence in interating with foreigners
there.

The consulting editor will be me. The local editor will be YOU. Local people will write the news. I will help them. Local people will take the photos too. A local design will design the newspaper. Local people
will distrbiute the paper. Free of charge.

I will mostly be a consultant.
Mr Wu can be the editor in chief. I can serve as English consultant.
it is YOUr
newspaper, published by the town of Huwei, paid for by the city, and
distributed all over town in stores and 711 and taxi stands and homes
and everywhere, post office too.

Maybe 3000 copies, or just 500 copies to start. and let the idea GROW
bigger later.....

the newspaper might be called ''Y.U.N.L.I.N NEWS'' and YUNLIN stands
for [Yunlin United Nations Language Interactive News] - smile
