“Go Local!”

“Go Local!” is GWN's motto, starting from May 27, 2008, a motto started by GWN Founder Diane Zhou's dad. “So many big chain companies, like McDonald's, own newspapers that turned from local to national or worldwide. That loses the meaning of 'local news', so I support GWN,” Diane's dad told GWN. GWN is being motivated by this motto. Without it, GWN would have disappeared long ago in November, 2007!

Mail Pail

Here's all the mail GWN received this week:

Debate Time (Movie or NUMMI?):
“I would rather go to the NUMMI [plant]. You will actually 'see' how cars are made. LUCKY! I got A average and couldn't go!” Chloris Li, 5th Grade
“I would want to go to the NUMMI [plant]. I like going on field trips . You get to miss class. You actually get to go somewhere else than school.” Deanna Wong, 5th grade
“Movies, because it is loud and noisy at NUMMI.”Nicole Sun, 5th grade
“NUMMI, because I never went there and I want to know what it looks like.” Vicky Sun, 5th grade
“Movies, because you rarely watch movies in class and you get to go to NUMMI whenever you want to.” Emily Wang, 4th grade
“Going to a field trip is much better! Students get a chance to learn about things. If they sit and watch TV, their eyes will start to ache.” Cynthia Yao, 5th grade

Contest (Guess the PinYin):
“ni kuai ba ta fang zai bing xiang li re yi re!” Olivia Li, 4th grade
“ni kuai ba ta fang zai bing xiang li re yi re!” Nicole Tong, 5th grade
“ni kuai ba ta fang ja bing xiang li re i re” Chloris Li, 5th grade

(Great guess, Chloris! You're Cantonese and that's really close!)
Correct Answer: ni kuai ba ta fang zai bing xiang li re yi re!
Congratulations Olivia and Nicole! Perfect! Still passing, Chloris (over 70%)! You will all receive 2 GWN tickets, Chinese masters!
