我就喜歡這樣的妳

新學期英語老師們如果接一二三年級都有可能面臨到要幫孩子取英文名這件事。方便上課的練習以及作答，以及方便學生日後的自我介紹。但是其實我們本身就有很美麗的中文名子，可以利用拼音的方式，幫助外國人發音，而每個中文都有自己的意義，當介紹自己名子的時候，也可以同時宣揚中華文化，也是不錯的外交呢。

故事大綱 :

The new kid in school needs a new name! Or does she?

　　Being the new kid in school is hard enough, but what about when nobody can pronounce your name? Having just moved from Korea, Unhei is anxious that American kids will like her. So instead of introducing herself on the first day of school, she tells the class that she will choose a name by the following week. Her new classmates are fascinated by this no-name girl and decide to help out by filling a glass jar with names for her to pick from. But while Unhei practices being a Suzy, Laura, or Amanda, one of her classmates comes to her neighborhood and discovers her real name and its special meaning. On the day of her name choosing, the name jar has mysteriously disappeared, but encouraged by her new friends, Unhei chooses her own Korean name and helps everyone pronounce it–Yoon-Hey.
