The Taiwanese students presented some videos regarding the culture, aborigines, beautiful places and mountains, and many more related to Taiwan. They will ask some questions regarding Taiwan and when students can answer them, they will give the reward (red envelope which symbolizes “luck” and “good fortune” in Chinese culture). Inside the envelope, there are gold coins.
The Taiwanese students preparing not only information but also a fun game. Each group should compete with each other. Using the chopsticks, the players should get the a nut on a plate and run into a person who will eat that nut.
