Cooperation Strategy: Appealing for
Assistance

sue her elderly employers for sexual assault and battery.

wound and damage on her body.
B: Oh, I see. We can identify this case as sexual abuse and
harassment.

Taiwan society which is not revealed.

order to make the female live in a safe environment.
‘Appealing’

people are using.

“cocaine”, and “ecstasy”.

not really sick, especially some anaesthetic. :

need an operation or when people encounter some
disease.
