I kind of forget how many refereces should be put on the works cited.
I guess it's six. Then I will add one or two to meet the requiremts. Actually, I've got many information from M.O.E, National Youth Commission , and so on after doint the research. Maybe they are too many to find connection and to organise together. I guess I need some help and suggestions since I am not a peroson of logic. Also, I will revise my works cited into MLA style soon!!! I know the format
above couldn't count as any style (or you could call it free style.) I am just kidding. You will see revised version of works cited sooner or later.

Weblog 2: First Hand Data Collection Plan

Since my topic is related the sevengraders and the employers of old generations,I plan to design a questionnaire for those sevengraders who have been working and who are going to graduate from colleges, and for those employers of olders generations who have hired sevengraders as employees.

The quesitons that I might ask to sevengraders who have been working (Group1):

1.How do they think of their job?

2. Why do they chose this job?

3.Do they have any expectation for they job?

4. How do they work with thier colleague and boss?

5. What kind of reason might cause them jump to another job?

The quesitons that I might ask to sevengraders who are going to graduate from colleges (Group 2):

1. How do they think of their first job?

2. Why do they chose this job?

3.Do they have any expectation for they job?

4. How do they attact the employers to hire them?

5. What's first consideration for first job?

The quesitons that I might ask to those employers of olders generations who have hired sevengraders as employees (Group 3).

1. How do they think of sevengraders employees?

2. Do they work in a way different from other gengerations?

3. What expectations do they have for the freshman who are going to enter the job market?

4. How do they work with sevengraders employees?

5. Do they see any advantage attracting to hire them and the weakness of sevengraders preventing hiring them?

I am not sure how many people should I interview/give the questionnaire.

If I have enought time, I wish to give the questionaires to 30 people of each group.

If I don't have time, I may give the questionaires to 10 people of each group.

I will revise my questionnaire and post the final revision on my weblog. If anyone give me any suggestions about the questionnaire above, I will be very appreciated!!!

(Actually,I have found many statistics related to my topic, but Johny and Bella told me I have to gather statistic via the questionnaire that I designed. That's why it is called as" first hand data collection") I hope they are right.

Weblog#1:RP:Introduction

How does Strawberry Generation in Taiwan Get Rid of the Label?

The Seventh graders in Taiwan have been regarded as The Strawberry Generation due to their poor working performance. The Strawberry Generation means people in this generation are just like strawberries. They look good, but they are too fragile to deal with problems and difficulties. In Taiwan, we called people born in 1981 to 1990 “seventh grader”, which will be defined as Generation X and Y in American. With the huge changes of economy, politics, society, family structures, and computers, youths born in this period share very different growing-up experiences with other generations. As Taiwan society gets richer and opener and the family has fewer children in that period, seventh graders have more opportunities to accept higher education, have better consuming experiences, getting more information via computers. They are thought and expected to make a better influence at work. However, as economical development and industrial structures of Taiwan go into new stages and globalization and knowledge-based economy affect Taiwan, job markets demands the new generation with different employability. The enterprises pay much more attention on a graduate’s working attitude in addition to good educational background, but seventh graders believe better educational background and certificate will help to get and keep a good job. The different cognitions between employers of old generations and seventh graders not only reflect their work values that are caused from the different growing-up experiences, but also the gap between school education and job requirements. However, in order to remove the label “Strawberry Generation”, the seventh graders should improve the employ-abilities required for the knowledge-based economy stage; respect different work values, and combine each generation’s advantages. In this way, seven graders can work with different generations efficient and have better working performance. Besides, via government’s help and policy, schools should cooperate with enterprises to adjust the courses to help students cultivate employ-abilities and ready for job after finishing tertiary education.
