Past Post


Here's an article I wrote a while for my blog, Patrick Cowsill Wanhua Taiwan. I have received much feedback. Some of my Taiwanese friends aren't convinced about the origins of the Taiwanese wandering, or zig-zagging, stroll as I have explained them. Others agree. Most of my Western friends see something to what I'm saying about the diagonal drift in the walking that occurs in Taiwan: http://goo.gl/KwE5f. The post also covers ghosts, the ancient street of Bo Pi Liao (剝皮寮) and the history of Wanhua (萬華), Taiwan.

Read to Succeed


Read to Succeed: Book I is the first in a series of three books I worked on a couple of years back. I wrote many of the stories as well as sections providing grammar and speaking activities. I was also the final editor. As you can tell by the title, the textbook is geared at reading. The book seems to sell better to students at the university level.

全民英檢一路通-中高級寫作


I wrote this GEPT Intermediate Writing Book a while back for Crane Publishing. The picture on the front is the Luce Memorial Chapel. Built in 1963, it is an instantly recognizable landmark in Taiwan.

Practical English


Sometimes, we caught up in learning English simply as a means for passing an important test. That's why there are so many test-based English-learning textbooks around us. Unfortunately, once the test is over, both the English textbook and crammed information are deposited in the trash.

Here are three textbooks I wrote that actually help you in the workplace, and real world, not just in the classroom: Hotel English (ISBN 978-986-6700-66-8), Tourism English (ISBN 978-986-6406-21-8) and Restaurant English (ISBN 978-986670073)
