To Daphne

Dear Daphne!

The name you have chosen is from the Greek language and it refers to the ‘laurel’ tree. I think it is important to know well the meaning of our name, because there is an identity, and there is a true energy in the sound and in the letters of a given name. Look at the Greek Alphabet: the letters are very interesting.
DAPHNE
Gender: Feminine
Usage: Greek Mythology, English, Dutch
Other Scripts: Δαφνη (Ancient Greek)
Pronounced: DAF-nee (English), DAHF-nə (Dutch)

I was really impressed by all your posts and it’s a pleasure to interact with you all.
I hope one day you will be able to visit Italy and may be have a tour in our region, Umbria.

Thank you so much for your nice and precious words that bring Peace and Joy this way.

I wish you a fantastic summer!

Andrea

Italy in my eye(Daphne)

Italy is a great and beautiful place, not only Pompeii, or the view of this country. I think the most important reason is on the citizen. In Italy, everyone value '' peace'', they won't fight or argue. Compared to Italy, in Taiwan, many people fight for little things. If every Taiwan people are friendly to each other, Taiwan must be more beautiful!!! After talking with Andrea, I believe Andrea is a good and patient teacher, he always answers our question carefully, when I ask him some information about Pompeii, he answers me very quickly and correctly. Now I know Italy is not a country that didn’t have culture, and Pompeii Town is an excavation of civilization.And San Flippo is a great school, too. Although it is very different then our school, but it take care to every students, and teachers are all affability. I bet every student is all happy to go to school, and learn a lot of things !I haven’t been to Italy and San Flippo, but after reading the PowerPoint, I have more fantasy to Italy, the beautiful view, people’s friendly are all attracting me. I hope someday that I can travel to Italy, and Taiwan can be just like them!
