Miachael Jordan as a Super Star in Sports
Frank
Why Jordan is so famous that everyone knows his name? In the past, I always watched Jordan’s basketball game with my family every Sunday. I knew about him because of his fantastic skill and his passion toward basketball. Nowadays, when we talked about basketball, everyone will know who he is.
Actually, Jordan is the best all-round player in the National Basketball Association, and I think the reason why everyone calls Jordan as “God of basketball” is that he never gives up. First, he always cooperates with his teammates and practices as much as he can with his teammates in order to make the team get the best honor in National Basketball Association, namely National Championship. In fact, Jordan trains him and teammates severely and tells everyone they should play for the team, not for personal purpose. When it is time to practice, Jordan always appears on time and seldom leaves earlier than his teammates. Some of men say that Jordan is a genius; however, I think he is the genius of practice. Because he doesn’t have a good figure, all he can do is practice again and again so that he can defeat plenty of rivals. Second, Jordan is so humble that he will not order his teammates as if he is a hero of Chicago Bulls. Instead, he will do thing quietly and then others will follow his suggestion. That is his leadership. Finally, Chicago Bulls is always the candidate for National Championship, and they get the championship six times.
Moreover, I think the data really can’t represent Jordan’s skills and his personal achievements in basketball. The data is just records because it can’t stand for his attribution toward basketball. His passion and his attitude in basketball are the reason why everybody loves him so much.
Also, I think Jordan influences people in our society. Because of his perseverance and his attitude, people all know succeed needs to give. This principle can adapt in all field in the world. And, Jordan not only promotes himself, but also makes everyone know about basketball and NBA. Furthermore, the process of success is the best thing that Michael Jordan wants to tell to us.
Gary
Being the greatest basketball player in the world, Michael’s skill is focus on the speed, the accuracy of the shot, the strength, and jumping ability. He plays as shooting guard, and he is good at changing direction with the cross-over. He can judge the way which the defense is going to be with the step and make the quick changing within a second, and if you play basketball, you will know that it’s difficult to make a sudden judgement in just a few second. Another ability is his middle distance jump shot. Although his three points shooting ability is the most controversial one in his career, his middle distance jump shot is the most famous and outstanding one in the game. He can always make the jump shot as soon as he get the ball. Besides, he will always make it. His career field goal percentage is 49.7. Field goal means the basket scored on any shot, even the free throw and dunk are counting. And that’s really a high percentage. The best known thing of Michael Jordan is his jumping ability. He can do a double pump to avoid three defenses in the air which is one of the greatest moves in the basketball history. To do this move, you have to stay in the air for more than two seconds. Imagine that you use your entire strength to jump up high, and how long will you stay in the sky? You will know that how amaing Jordan is. That’s why everyone calls him “air jordan”
Before 1970s, center is the main position to do the offense, so the rhythm in the game is slow and lengthy, becaue the offence depends on the whether center gets the ball or not, and if he has a good chance to shoot the ball is important. There is not always a chance for him to make a shoot. After 1970’s, the entire situation has been changed. The guard becomes the one to make the call. He can choose to make the shot on his own, or to pass the ball to the others. The rhythm becomes faster that each offence takes no longer than ten or fiften seconds. Dr.J is the first one created the new moves in basketball. The most famous one is to jump from the free throw line to make a dunk, but Jordan is the one who enhace and glorify it. He makes many creative and incredible moves in the game, like double pump, fade away, and the whole series of unbelievable dunk. He is the one who makes these moves involving in the game, and he is the one to push the entire basketball skill to a new age that no one can imagine at that time.

Now I am going to introduce the Jordan shoes. Maybe you haven’t seen Michael Jordan playing basketball; however, you must have ever seen the Jordan shoes especially Jordan 1. Jordan 1 is worthy to know. Also, it’s the one you can’t miss if you want know Michael Jordan. It has been one of the hottest pair of basketball shoes since 1985 which is the time Jordan 1 was produced. In fact, the Jordan 1 was chosen to be the most classic one of all Jordan shoes. There are several features made the Jordan 1 to be the legend. Those are its color combination. “Black, white and red,” made Jordan 1 to stand out from all that time. It led the trend and started a new generation of basketball shoes design. The NBA even once prohibited Jordan wearing Jordan 1 on the basketball court. The reason was that Jordan 1 was inappropriate. This prohibition caused the Jordan 1 fever gone even higher. Everyone wanted a pair of Jordan 1. Nike published the reproduction of Jordan 1 in 1994 and 2001. Of course, Jordan 1 fevers again. Although the following Jordan series also created excellent record, those still couldn’t go beyond Jordan 1. In most Jordan fans’ mind, Jordan 1 is surely the best ever.
Personally, I love Jordan 17 most, though I haven’t owned it. Its black, white and blue attracted me more than other Jordan shoes did. Its hidden-shoelace design makes it simple and looking good. It’s out of production now. In addition, I once owned Jordan 6 and 7. They were really different from others. Actually, Jordan 2009 look like this…Go and buy it, you will know how it makes you feel
Andy
In Oct. 6 1993, Jordan decided to retire from NBA. He said “ I have nothing to prove on basketball court.”, but we all know that there has the other major factor, his father was murdered. Though the investigation said that murders didn’t know that the victim was Jordan’s father, but Jordan still believed his father’s death was due to his identity of being a basketball star. And after he left the basketball court, he joined the Chicago White Sox baseball team. Being a baseball player was his father’s dream when Jordan was a kid. And this was Jordan’s first retire.
March 19 1995, he was back to the court with a new number. No. 45. But this was not last to long, after Nick Anderson, the guard of wizard said, “No. 45 it’s easier to defeat than No. 23”, Jordan started to wear his jersey with no.23 again and never changed.
Jan. 14 1999, Jordan retired again.
Before he returned to the court as a player of wizard in 2002, he was the chairman of wizard. After 2002-2003 season’s fight as a player of wizard, Jordan retired. This time, Air Jordan will no longer play basketball in NBA anymore.
I think a sequence of Jordan’s retire is also a very important part of why Michael Jordan is popular around the world. Every time he announced that he wants to retire or return to court always be the hottest news around the world.
Steven
When he was forty, he retired from Washington Wizards. Although he has had great passion for basketball, he age did not allow him to play anymore. I think that it is a pity that age is an important element to decide whether he can play or not, because he doesn’t have physical strength as before.
But now, he also has success in other careers, like invest Casino, run his restaurants and manage Jordan Brand. So, he put all his heart emphasizing on his wife, children and careers. However, he still wants to go back to NBA, but he doesn’t want to be a sportsman rather than to be a basketball team of boss. I remember one of his interviews. He said “the principal factors of his success are passion, insistence and attitude. People don’t know how he loves basketball,” and said “if you get the same element in your career, you will get the same success like him.” So, I think that is the reason why he gets great achievement in both NBA and his business. it is good concept for us to know that whatever what we do, we want to love it, and we need to have enough passion on it. If we can to that way, I believe that one day, we will be success too.
Mark
There are three requirements for a basketball player to be into the Hall of fame. First, he has to at least play for ten years. Second, he must have fully retired from play for at least five years. Third, he needs to get 75 percent of all votes cast. I believe that many people are wondering why Michael Jordan, the god in the basketball, just get into the Hall of fame recently. Shouldn’t he have been a member of that for a long time ago? Well, for Michael Jordan, the only problem he has is the second rule. He’s last game is in 2009. So, that is the reason why.
Then, I am going to talk about what I feel about Michael Jordan. What I admire him the most is his leader ability and humbleness. It is almost impossible that someone is the best in every single way. Everything is good for something. There must be something that others are better than you. But, we don’t have to be shame about it because it is natural. I mean. Our own ability is pretty small. A great man is the one who can unite all the power together.
The last thing I want to talk about is the third rule. I have seen one movie called Mr. 3000. It says that there is a great baseball player who is good at hitting a single. In fact, he is really good. He is the best in his team. However, because of that, he becomes super arrogant. He even thinks that all the fans that come to see the ball game are only for him. And, he says that the team only needs him. All of his teammates are garbage. After he is retired, he cannot go into the Baseball Hall of Fame because everyone hates him. Although great power comes great responsibility, at the same time, we should know that without others we won’t be what we are or get what we get today.
Lester
As far as I am concerned, among those precursor conditions which should be met before entering Basketball Hall of Fame, being permitted by basketball reporters is the most essential element in the sporting world. I mean, even someone is strong enough but not shining among the cameras taken by reports. That someone would just be a good athlete but not a star. The consensus agrees with his achievement. His specific sporting character stands out. As Jordan, he shined, shining, and will shine for his entire life.
In Taiwan sporting world, we don’t have hall of fame, however, the consensus still spare no effort to honor those magnificent athletes. We may not have international sport stars, but those spiritual models would remain a diligent image in our society, just like Jordan.

Romantic Musicals: Moulin Rouge (2001)
Presentation Script
PPT slide 1 Introduction
The main story line of the movie, Moulin Rouge, is about love, but we are going to focus on its background to investigate the culture at that time, instead of the love story.
PPT slide 2 Inspiration
The director got the inspiration from the Greek Story – Orpheus and Eurydice. Orpheus is a poet and musician; the director gave the actor (Christian) in Moulin Rouge the same role as Orpheus. Both Orpheus and Christian tried their best to save their lovers from the danger. Orpheus went to the hell to bring his wife back to life, and in the movie, Christian tried to help his lover, Satine, fly way from the Moulin Rouge. Although Satine was the most popular singer, no one really cared about her. At first, she considered Moulin Rouge was like her home as her charms made every man fall in love with her. The owner of the Moulin Rouge treated her well, providing all the things she wanted in the best quaqlity. However, till she met Christian, she realized what she wanted was true love, not indulging in the fame. Hence, Christian planned to take Satine away from Moulin Rouge and start a new life with her. In 2001, the famous song Orpheus in the Underworld was applied to the movie, Moulin Rouge. The end of song was also the well-known Can-can dance song.
PPT slide 3 Background:
The failure of Franco-Prussian War caused a huge depression in France. There were many scandals at that time, and economy crisis was one of the problems, too. Hence, people couldn’t keep the faith in such a decadent life. People had hard time then. In order to find a way to unleash, people learnt to replace their empty heart by the Hedonism. They pursued luxurious life and indulged themselves in sensual pleasure. Hence, going to a night club had become common phenomena in Paris at that time. But this kind of life did not represent that they could escape from the depression, they did not truly enjoy their lives at all. People gathered in a night club, talking without eye-contact and absent-minded showed endless sorrows and desperation even more.
PPT slide 4 Background:
The Moulin Rouge was built because of the international exposition. By building Moulin Rouge the French wanted to boost their tourism. Montmartre was famous for its vineyard; hence, there were bars (pubs) and Moulin (Moulin is the combination of club and café concert.) appeared. In the late 19 century, Montmartre has become the perfect place for people to enjoy nightlife. The creation of Moulin Rouge brought up the entertainment industry. Thieves, prostitutes, writers, dancers, singers, and Gypsy all gathered in the Moulin Rouge. Thieves, artist and writers wanted to have fun. Dancers and singers searched the chance to become a real actress. The Gypsy wanted to pursue their beliefs. Moulin became not only a place to dance but also a place for the young to socialize.
PPT slide 5 Artist-Renoir:
Famous artists like Renoir once stayed in here for about half year to enjoy the joyful atmosphere. Here is one of the paintings about the Moulin and it is also the most remarkable one.
PPT slide 6 Features-Red windmill:
The red windmill is the most identifiable feature of the Moulin Rouge. Till now, it is still working with the seasons changes, it evoke people’s memories of the old time and their desires.
PPT slide 7 Features-Elephant house:
There are a lot of scenes which presented in the elephant house. There are two possible explanations for the meaning of the elephant. Traced back to the Min dynasty, there are lion house, leopard house, elephant house and so on. They used to be places to keep dangerous animals but later on they became a place for the emperor to have fun with women. Maybe in the Moulin Rouge, the Duke is the symbolic emperor who has the power to dominate the financial support of Moulin Rouge. Another explanation is that the elephant is a symbol of dignity. In order to show his cherish for Satine so Zidler arranged Satine to live in the elephant house because Satine is the most popular singer in the Moulin Rouge. And for the duke, he is in the high class of the social rank. Zidler wanted to show his reverence for the duke hence he arranged the duke to use the elephant house.
PPT slide 8-13 Beauty, Truth, and Freedom
The movie is about Freedom, beauty, truth, and love. Freedom from Moulin Rouge and beauty belong to satin, true for Christian and the love is the greatest love between satin and Christian.
Satin was always beautiful, seeing her sparkling like a diamond on the velvet of the swing. She had smooth skin, her vibrant red hair, and her full lips. All she has to do is send a single glance in their direction, and they're lost forever to dream of possessing her. When, in fact, it is her eyes that possess them. And so it continues for many years, and she is as cold and lovely as the diamonds they compare her to and shower her with.
Until one day, she meets an eager young poet Christine. The warmth of his breath is a spring breeze to melt the last of winter's frost. She feels herself being caught in that same web with which she has trapped many others.
Nicole Kidman went from being just another actress to me to one of my favorites - she takes on the role of Satin so honestly and proves that she not only has a comedic side but a great voice as well. Together the two of them light up the screen.
Bohemia
The setting of the film is at a bohemian village in Paris in the nineteenth century. Christian was born at a bourgeois family. He went to the village which his father called it “the village of sin” seeking the artistic atmosphere for inspiration. You all know of bohemian style. But do you really know what bohemia is? Originally Bohemia is just an area in west Czech, and the bohemian actually means the gypsy living in Bohemia. Gradually bohemian is described as marginalized artists, writers, and musicians those who live in poverty and have an unconventional way of life.
The bohemian depreciates almost everything that represents bourgeois. The main conflicts between bohemian and bourgeois are that the later supports practical achievements in life, while the former stresses the importance of emotions. In bohemian value, a man’s dignity depends neither on his wealth nor on his material property. To them, cottage and jewelry are the symbols of arrogance and philistinism. Truth, beauty, freedom, and love are their spirit. Just like what Christian, the leading actor, said that “Above all things I believe in love. The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.”
Christian tells Satine what the truth of love and beauty of life are, and he wakes her innerness up and set her free from her material world. Therefore Satine turns down the Duke who symbolizes wealth and power. Though she finally died in the stage, she died with complete love, mind and freedom. That’s what bohemian spirit is.

Can-Can Dance
PPT slide 2 Origins
In 1889, people paid much attention on not only Moulin Rouge but also Can-Can dance. It has become famous since Second Empire. At first, it was just a kind of cheerful dance which was popular at blue collar level. And then more and more cabarets had Can-Can dance performance. At that time, cabarets supplied alcohol and places in the middle of cabarets for customers to dance. Besides, there were performances with Can-Can music. Dancers lifted their skirts and danced “quadrille” (a kind of dancing movement) extemporaneously. Although going to cabarets and watching Can-Can performance was a really popular leisure activity that time, it was not for the high class people.
PPT slide 3 Performance
Now, it is about their performances. They are a group of well-training can-can dancers. Although retaining some improvisations, they needed more very difficult dancing skills and physical strength. The main movements were the high kick (it means quick rotary movement of lower leg with knee raised and skirt held up), and the next one is the port d'armes (turning on one leg, while grasping the other leg by the ankle and holding it almost), the next is lifting up skirt, and the next one is the cartwheel and the grand écart (it means that the flying or jump splits). Furthermore, it has become common practice for dancers to scream and yelp while performing the can-can, but this was by no means essential. On the other hand, the entertainers showed their shank sometimes that could tease viewers’ sense organs more.
PPT slide 5 Strip Show
At first, Can-Can was a kind of social folk dance in Europe originally. However, after adaption by a British, it became a type of performance. It was really popular when it was transited to France. As time went by, it was called French Can-Can. Can-Can dancers always had good figures. When they performed, their skirts floated in the air which drew people’s attention. They wore only a piece of skirt, and it might reveal their legs and underwear easily. Sometimes they just wore without underwear and occasionally revealed their genitals. Strip shows originated from Can-Can dance which Moulin Rouge was famous for. It was a performance which made performance watchers, always were men, feel pleasant. However, nowadays, Strip dancers think that performing strip show is a profession. Also, it is a performance art.
PPT slide 6 Dress & Accerssories
And it’s about dress and accessories. Nowadays, the dressings and adornments don’t change too much. The basic accessories and dressings are like this. They have feathers, sheet mental and hats. Skirts are like this and there are petticoats. There are also stockings like this and hats like this or this one. And, this is a bodice. It can be with or without sleeves. These two are overskirts. This one is a bustle and it’s always on the back of the skirt.
