#NFTsummer A few weeks ago, we interviewed Xixi Huang (AW#17) in Mandarin and as the AppWorks Fellow who helps us out on the blockchain side, Xixi has a lot of ideas that are worth sharing to a bigger audience. Here's his interview in English:

西西 (Xixi) 黃士晉 is an AppWorks #17 alumni and co-founder of Rydeit. His mission is to bring the applications of blockchain to everyday life because he believes that blockchain can make the world a more fair and better place. As an AppWorks Fellow, he is responsible for guiding founders to think about blockchain and providing insights on blockchain-related investment deals. Before AppWorks, he led his previous team to build more than 10 dapps, including famous games in Taiwan such as 柚子打魚 and Shrimp.Finance. Within a month of launching these games, they had amassed over NT$ 100M (~US$ 3.5M) in transactions. His favorite pastime is traveling with his grandma, and his ultimate goal is to persuade her to buy Bitcoin!

Check out what Xixi has to say about blockchain and NFTs.

#NFTevolution

I started to learn how to write smart contracts in 2016, and learned the entire logic of ERC-20 for tokens and ERC-721 for NFTs. While I was learning about NFTs, I realized that the combination of NFTs with video games was very fitting. In video games, the treasure and equipment you collect becomes virtual assets as NFTs. And the process of using smart contracts to exchange items was very efficient on the blockchain.

At the end of 2018, I designed and created a zombie video game, integrating the concept of playing and drawing cards and packs. Within a pack were 3 NFTs with zombies on them. As a player, the more cards with zombies you collect, the higher your score, and the more tokens you can ultimately earn. From this game, I got connected to other game manufacturers and publishers who were also interested in creating virtual game assets through NFTs. We all had the same idea -- NFTs can bring more meaning and value to the players.

However at the time, many people in the market still believed that tokens and games were riddled with fraud. Since the lifecycle of video games can be short, many traditional gaming companies in the end didn’t find it worthwhile to learn how to integrate NFTs or blockchain into their games.

While the nature of NFTs hasn’t changed, the market has evolved. People’s curiosities are growing, more applications are being developed, and more creators are cropping up. I think now is the right time to start talking to companies about how to integrate NFTs or blockchain into their businesses or games.

#NFTplayground

I think there are many opportunities to start a business these days, and people who want to start one should think about coming to blockchain. Not only is there a huge opportunity but the possibilities are endless. And within blockchain, NFTs currently offer the biggest opportunity. However, it can also pose a new challenge to the team’s endurance, because while easy to obtain traction and users with NFTs, the challenge lies in retaining them.

Similar to other blockchain applications in the past few years, when a new concept is invented, it’ll be flushed with many early users. However, because the surrounding infrastructure wasn’t in place, it was difficult for founders to make valuable extensions or applications. And many of these users don’t actually care about these blockchain products and they are only trying to leverage the ecosystem to make a quick buck. Once they earn all that they can, they will move on to another project.

Right now working on NFTs, you can collect a lot of data in a short amount of time and also make some income to keep you afloat. Founders should seize this opportunity to understand these users, then modify and optimize both their products and mentality to retain them.

Since there’s no geographical restriction on blockchain, I would encourage founders to look beyond your country and region in expanding your NFT products. Also, since blockchain is closely related to finance, if you don’t have a good pricing strategy (or token economics) for your NFT products, the prices might fluctuate greatly. You need to be prepared and remind your users of the risks, otherwise you’ll ultimately get scolded!!

#NFTera

This year, I finally consider myself an official NFT collector. I pay special attention to NFTs with contemporary significance, such as Hashmasks. It signals to the public that NFTs are not just for collecting but that game mechanics can also be applied to interact with users. If we look back ten years from now I’m confident to say that the project that really brought the NFT wave in 2021 would be Hashmasks.

In addition to veteran projects like Hashmasks, other collections I care a lot about are related to Metaverse, such as The Sandbox. I believe that the world will become more and more decentralized and virtual. It is very likely that the next generation will be immersed in a virtual world like Ready Player One, so I am also very optimistic about NFTs in digital worlds like The Sandbox.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to NFTs. Right now, few NFTs are connected with our daily lives. For example, I bought a Hashmask. If I want to show it in my apartment, I might still need to print it out. In the future, how will we connect NFTs to the physical world? I believe they can be applied in many ways, including frames, wallets, cars, house deeds, leases, etc. These products in daily life can be combined with NFTs. We just haven’t opened our imagination yet. It’s hard to imagine that only 20 years ago we were having a hard time believing in the power of the internet.

The development of science and technology not only relies on infrastructure, but also the user's learning curve. The world needs to talk about blockchain more, so that everyone will gradually become familiar with it and it’ll continue to evolve.

If you're a founder working in blockchain or NFTs, welcome to apply to AppWorks >> https://bit.ly/3w0WyIl

大家應該都知道，我最近每天早上都六點左右起來讀英文，讀完之後再幫兩個孩子做早餐。我讀英文其實並沒有具體的即時應用場合，但由於阿富律師一直有個計畫，就是可以開拓外國人在台灣的法律需求市場，我也希望，有天派得上用場的時候，不需要臨時抱佛腳，畢竟語言技能並非十天半個月的練習，就能夠上手的。

不過，自己自修雖然可以自由控制進度跟時長，但少了很多對談練習，缺乏實戰經驗，遇上外國人時，不管說還是聽，還是很難對答如流。我雖然也有報名坊間的成人英語班，但常常因為進度無法配合我的作息，就會有長達幾週都缺課的狀態。

最近，正好受到聯經出版的邀請，體驗了「聯經陪你讀書 Linking Read With You」線上英語學習課程，用45分鐘的時間，跟美國教師線上學英文。除了上課用全英文對話，老師還用答題、理解單字以及寫短句等等方式，來檢測我的各項語文能力。

課前，聯經寄出線上教學服務契約及課前問卷先讓我了解教學模式，並調查我的學習目標，再發出邀請，通知上課的時間。

我選擇了早上貝貝上課以後，9點多與英文老師Nicole連線。Nicole是個笑容很親切、說話語速適中、教學態度也很熱情的大女生。過程中，我們讀了一些文章，然後她給我幾個小測驗，來測試我對文章的理解程度，並藉此得到我在字彙、文法、聽寫等等技巧上的程度，過程中不會有壓力，我還跟Nicole談笑。

其實我的英文程度很普通，大概就是去旅遊可以問問路、點點菜而已。但是Nicole的專業引導，讓我不會有原本覺得鴨子聽雷的擔憂，所閱讀的文章也很活潑、很有意思。

課程結束之後，我收到Nicole寄來的英文能力分析報告，相當的詳盡，還給我如何改善各樣語言能力的建議。

像是這段

Study Tips:
• If your pronunciation is weak, do some mouth exercises to help loosen your jaw, then practice combining troublesome sounds.
• If your grammar is weak, practice and identifying your own errors.
• If your vocabulary is weak, keep a dictionary in your bag and use it when you don't know the meaning of a word.
• If your listening is weak, jot down key words to help you remember the important parts.
• If your speaking is weak, practice speaking with native English speakers.
• If your reading is weak, read for at least 20 minutes a day from a variety of sources (novels, newspapers, magazines, etc.)
• If your writing is weak, keep a journal and write at least 10 sentences about your day before you go to sleep.

我覺得真的超實用又專業。

除了上面的秘訣，每個我上課時犯的小錯誤，或是需要改善的地方，Nicole都詳細的記錄在報告中，並且告訴我錯在哪裡、怎麼樣可以進步，而且很多地方都用數據表達，簡直像是語文版的豪華健康檢查套餐。

或許很多媽媽們或女生，會覺得目前一時沒有使用英文的場合不需要學，但我覺得語言這種東西，等你有天用得上才要學，就太慢了，維持一定的英文程度，不管是突然遇到外國人，或是天上掉下來難得的機會，或是想要拓展現在的生活圈，還是教育小孩等等，都是迫在眉睫，應該讓自己必備的能力。

這套課程和市場上其他線上英語課程最大的不同點，在於「選讀經典原著來真正學好英文」。對這套課程有興趣的人，多數都是喜歡閱讀、期待自己的英文能力到達母語人士水準、以及未來預備要出國深造或生活者。

聯經從美國引進Read With You Center for Language and Development這項教學服務（簡稱RWY，亞洲客服團隊則設於北京），強調教學研究團隊的語言學背景與美國各地學校實際教學經驗，且以聞名世界的經典英文原著為教材，希望協助想真正學好英文的人，用正確的方式和道地的文本，獲得聽說讀寫都提升、帶得走又用得到的學習成果。

目前「聯經陪你讀書 Linking Read With You」課程分為兩個學習方案，皆由美籍教師真人在線上一對一授課：
1. 初學課：1堂課，課程長度45分鐘。主要目標為提供學習者一次性的課程，讓學習者認識這套學習系統、以及線上學習的過程。此外，教師會在45分鐘課程中根據學習者的學習狀態，評估聽說讀寫各向度的英語能力，並於課後提供學習者一份專屬於個人、非常完整的英語能力分析報告。

2. 完整應用課：1+10堂課，課程長度45分鐘+600分鐘。包含前述的初學課和英語能力分析報告在內，再根據學習者的程度、興趣和學習目標，安排600分鐘課程（每週一次，一堂60分鐘，共計10堂）。在完整應用課中，精選6本經典文本作為學習教材的選項，希望透過台灣讀者熟悉且喜愛的書籍，開拓一條不一樣的語言學習之途。

很推薦大家可以了解看看喔！

BÀI MẪU THAM KHẢO IELTS WRITING TASK 1 - DẠNG MAP
👉ĐK học thử IELTS MIỄN PHÍ tại Hà Nội: https://ielts-thanhloan.com/hoc-thu

ĐỀ BÀI
The maps below show Hunderstone town at present and a proposed plan for it.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

BÀI MẪU

The two maps describe developments that are planned to take place in a town called Hunderstone.

Overall, the proposed plan aims to improve the transport system in this town, and therefore, the town would become more accessible.

At the present, the town center is located in the south of a built-up area, with a ring road in the west to reduce traffic and an airfield in the northwest. There are two main ways to access this town, one of which is from A1 main road in the west by a connecting road constructed from its roundabout to the center. Another method is by railway which is parallel with A1 main road and located closer to the town center because a gas station lies in the intersection between the west-east road and the railway.

In the planned picture, the connecting road and railway will remain unchanged, but another roundabout will be erected next to the gas station. In the north, an industrial estate will develop in the place of the airfield and a new road is planned to be built to connect it with A1 road and the railway. To the south, a new A4 road will appear so that people will be able to reach the town directly from A1 road.

Osechi-Ryori is traditional Japanese New Year's food eaten during the first three days of the New Year. Each dishes that make up Osechi-Ryori has a special meaning celebrating the New Year (such as good health, fertility, good harvest, happiness, long life, etc...) and those dishes can last for a couple of days in the refrigerator or at cool room temperature in winter. Usually, they are served in jyubako (重箱: three-tiered bento boxes). In the first tier, we serve colorful festive dishes such as shrimp, black beans, sweet chestnuts, etc... In the second tier we serve sunomono (pickled dishes) and yakimono (grilled dishes). And in the third tier, we serve nimono (simmered dish) called Nishime (simmered Japanese vegetables).

Traditionally, we spend few days to prepare Osechi but I always spend few hours to complete mine. I use ready-made dishes for sweet dishes since my darling doesn't eat a lot and cook the non-sweet ones at home.

So, this is my darling's favorite Nishime recipe for the third tier :) I use frozen Japanese vegetables to save time and money.

For the seasoning, I used Yamasa's Konbu Tsuyu (3 times concentrated Konbu kelp seaweed soup stock) which is tasty and convenient. I'm sure it is available overseas at Asian grocery stores.

With just a little extra effort decoratively cutting vegetables, it become gorgeous, so try to make it fancy ;)

In the end of the video, I will show you my Osechi-Ryori from past years! Don't miss them!

I hope you all enjoy :D
