Time Cat

The Remarkable Journeys of Jason and Gareth
by Lloyd Alexander

Recommended reading age: 8-12 years
Lexile measure: 660L

Time Cat is a delightful, imaginative short novel by American fantasy writer Lloyd Alexander. It tells the story of a young boy and his cat who are transported across historical eras and places, from Ancient Rome to the Incas in Peru. With a range of vivid characters, constant action and back-and-forth dialogue, Time Cat is fantastic at capturing young readers’ attention; at the same time, it engages them in a fresh retelling of significant eras in history. As the action moves from Roman Britain to Heian-era Japan to various other snapshots in time, readers not only learn a wide range of historical facts, but are also immersed in the atmosphere and subtleties of each culture.
And here are the reasons why we recommend this book, and what kids, at different ages, are expected to get from their journeys with Jason and Gareth.

According to 11th Fleet's recent article, currently there are 22 international schools in Taiwan. A “true” international school as defined by Taiwan’s Ministry of Education requires that the student holds a foreign passport. Note this definition is different from a school that offers an international curriculum and does not require a foreign passport.
There are a variety of International schools in Taiwan, American vs Japanese, religious vs secular, and a European school in between. Check out the full list along with the intro and tuition fees here.

近幾年來，因為台灣的風力發電開發以及對外國人在台創業友善，國際學校的生源益趨擴大。在過去一年，因疫情關係，旅外臺人返台潮，更是將這波漲勢迅速帶到高峰。11th Fleet整理了台灣目前在教育部定義下核可的國際僑學校名單，以及基本的介紹還有費用等資訊。如您需要更多資訊，歡迎與我們聯繫，或是致電至 02-2771-6002 、 E-mail 到 [email protected]，或是 Line: @183liwzg。

古希臘的文明，影響當今世界的幾乎所有事物，包含政府、哲學、科學、醫學、數學、文學、建築、戲劇、繪畫等各式藝術，乃至體育等各方面。古希臘文化影響了後來的羅馬文化、文藝復興時代，甚至是到現在的流行文化，都有古希臘文化的影子。而就實際面來說，閱讀不同的希臘神話，瞭解更多源自古希臘語的單詞，透過字根及字首學習更多的英文或是其他歐洲語文單字，記憶學習更輕鬆。
