This story really fascinates me, and it helped me understand how innovative methods can solve environmental problems. In the past, wolves in England helped with seed dispersal, but they are no longer around. Park staff came up with the idea of having dogs replace wolves for seed dispersal, and this idea is not only clever but also integrates activities from people's daily lives. Dogs love to roam around, so they can naturally become great helpers in spreading seeds. The design of the small backpacks is also ingenious, allowing seeds to be scattered throughout the park as the dogs move.

This approach not only helps the park quickly increase its plant life but also gives dogs and their owners the opportunity to participate in environmental protection efforts. I think this is a win-win situation—it lets the dogs have fun while promoting plant growth and having a positive impact on the environment. This story made me realize that with creativity, even small things in daily life can contribute significantly to environmental protection.

聽完這一篇音檔後，發現雙十節是多麼重要的節日，這天大家會一起慶祝雙十節，會一起說雙十節快樂，並且總統府前也會舉行升旗典禮、遊行、儀隊表演、民俗遊藝、戶外音樂會等相關國慶活動等....還有中華民國的國慶日，定為1911年武昌起義的發動日——10月10日，亦稱雙十節、雙十國慶、雙十慶典、中華民國國慶日。 武昌起義是辛亥革命的開端，起事後兩個月內中國各地革命行動陸續成功，最終成功推翻清朝，並於1912年1月1日成立中華民國，成為東亞第一個獲普遍承認的共和國。 該日亦為中華民國的國定紀念日之一。

50419Dong Jiachuan 2024.10.10. Double Ten Festival activities

After listening to this audio file, I realized how important the Double Ten Festival is. On this day, everyone will celebrate the Double Ten Festival together and say Happy Double Ten Festival together. There will also be a flag-raising ceremony, parade, and ceremony in front of the Presidential Palace. National Day activities such as team performances, folk entertainment, outdoor concerts, etc... There is also the National Day of the Republic of China, which is designated as the launch day of the Wuchang Uprising in 1911 - October 10, also known as Double Ten Festival, Double Ten National Day, Double Ten Celebration, National Day of the Republic of China. The Wuchang Uprising was the beginning of the Revolution of 1911. Within two months after the uprising, revolutionary actions across China were successively successful, eventually overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and establishing the Republic of China on January 1, 1912, becoming the first universally recognized republic in East Asia. This day is also one of the national anniversaries of the Republic of China.

Today is Double Tenth Day, also known as National Day, and everyone in Taiwan gets the day off from work and school. I think hosting such events is great! You can buy brand-new souvenirs and watch the military parade in front of the Presidential Office, featuring helicopters and airplanes. The Yunlin County Government will also set off 30,000 fireworks to celebrate National Day, which is the birthday of the Republic of China!

你叫甚麼名字,大象先生?

我覺得大象很厲害.竟然會用聲音得響亮度來呼叫朋友的名字.

重點是隔了六公里呼叫同伴名字.同伴還聽的到.真的太厲害了.

而且.好幾隻的大象也聽得清清楚楚.

上面說一隻大象有五十個朋友.這不代表他要發出五十個聲音嗎?

我覺得現在的動物真的很厲害.人類都快比不過了呢.

What's Your Name, Mr. Elephant?

I think elephants are amazing! They can use the loudness of their sounds to call their friends' names. The impressive part is that they can call their friends from six kilometers away, and the friends can hear them. That’s really incredible!

And several elephants can hear it clearly too.

It said that one elephant has about fifty friends. Doesn’t that mean it has to make fifty different sounds? I really think animals are remarkable these days. Humans might not be able to keep up!

他們共同舉辦一項比賽，看誰能從髒髒的月亮冰塊，弄到乾淨的水.
那為甚麼需要月球水呢?因為美國太空總署準備建造月球基地，太空人會在裡面工作.
不過製造月球水的比賽，可能會關係到月球基地的建造.
所以這項考驗關係人們的智慧與耐心.

那就大家一起猜猜最後的贏家是誰吧!

I believe the main message behind this story is to encourage everyone to take action in energy conservation and carbon reduction. In Iceland, the climate is changing rapidly, and massive glaciers are melting. Scientists are studying the debris in front of the glaciers, which is made up of soil and rocks. Perhaps it’s possible to block the warm seawater from reaching the glaciers to slow down their melting, but investigating the debris firsthand is very dangerous, as ice chunks may fall at any moment! So, scientists sent a robotic submarine to study the debris remotely. Now, scientists have a better understanding of it, and perhaps one day, a large wall will be built in front of the glaciers to protect them. Although scientists have taken this step, I believe the melting of glaciers is still primarily caused by human overdevelopment of the environment. Therefore, we must conserve energy and reduce carbon emissions. Even small contributions matter. For the glaciers and the polar bears' homes, I strongly encourage everyone to join in energy conservation and carbon reduction. Let’s work together!

This story made me realize the struggles that transgender people face in life, such as being afraid to tell others or facing ridicule after coming out. In the story, the teacher is a transgender person. Although he was assigned male at birth, he always felt that he was a woman and just felt like he was living in a man's body. As he grew up, he began to embrace his feelings. However, the support he received didn’t come only from his parents and friends, but also from his students and their parents, who were happy for him. After reading this story, I learned that one should not mock someone just because they are transgender and that we should view situations with empathy. This is the new knowledge I gained.

This story is really interesting to me. When humans look in the mirror, they can recognize that the reflection is themselves. But what about fish? If fish can see their reflection in the mirror, that would be so cool! So scientists put a mark on each fish, but the fish themselves couldn't see it. Then, the scientists showed them a mirror. Afterward, every fish tried to remove the mark on its body. They understood that the fish in the mirror was themselves! This is simply amazing! Although I'm a bit skeptical, fish are really smart! Understanding fish is important because, among all animals, fish are the ones we eat the most, keep as pets, or use in experiments. Now we know that their intelligence is actually quite high! This is truly unbelievable!!!

現在有很多人都有手機.甚至連2歲都在看.

手機裡就有很多軟件供我們使用.可是現在就發生出有網路霸凌.我認為現在的人過於開放.導致小朋友受到霸凌或排擠.而政府最近立了一個13歲後才能社群軟體.有些家長認為很好.有些家長則覺得沒關係.我希望不要有人在受到霸凌了.

Now, many people have smartphones, and even 2-year-olds are using them. There are many apps in these phones for us to use. However, internet bullying has now become a problem. I believe that people today are too open, which leads to children being bullied or excluded. Recently, the government has implemented a rule that people can only use social media after the age of 15. Some parents think this is a good idea, while others don't mind. I hope no one will suffer from bullying anymore.

奧運選手真厲害.經常從別人口中聽到這一句.

現在有很多的運動在奧運會出現.有拳擊.體操還有非常多....之前因為林郁婷過於認真.全身都瘦得跟甚麼一樣.竟然還有人性別歧視.讓台灣民眾超心疼.我覺得每個人的努力好好發揮出來才是最好的.台上十分鐘.台下十年功.每個人都有自己的光彩.Olympic athletes are truly impressive. This is a phrase I often hear from others.

There are many sports featured in the Olympics, such as boxing, gymnastics, and many more... Previously, because Lin Yuting was so dedicated, her body became so slim that some people even made sexist comments. This made the people of Taiwan very heartbroken. I believe that everyone's effort and hard work should be fully appreciated. Ten minutes on stage, ten years of hard work behind the scenes. Everyone has their own brilliance.

"I never expected that this 10-year-old boy would find such a rare treasure! At first, I also thought the fish jawbone with teeth was some kind of rare artifact! But it turned out that this fish was from 200 million years ago! As he grew up, he learned to dive and continued treasure hunting in the deep sea. He created a metal detector that could find gold, silver, and other metals. One day, the machine made a sound and detected a large amount of gold hidden in the sand! Wow! This time, it was actually gold! After that, he hunted for treasure for several years, finding gold, a very ancient sword, and other treasures. What I can say now is: [A person’s effort is definitely beyond imagination, but sometimes, it still relies on luck.] What I admire most is that he donated all the treasures he found to a museum so that everyone could see the treasures he discovered. This person is not selfish—when he finds rare treasures, he immediately donates them to the museum instead of keeping them for himself."

醫院.對小朋友來說會覺得很可怕.

但是在蘇格蘭有一個非常有趣的醫院.

裡面有專門陪小孩玩的遊戲專家.

我覺得這項設置非常貼心.像我妹就是非常討厭去醫院的.

我想如果有這項設置.他可能比較不害怕.

這也會對小朋友產生一種快樂的回憶.

也不會讓人感覺醫院是個無聊.孤單.可怕的地方.

Hospitals can be very scary for children.

However, there is a very interesting hospital in Scotland.

It has specialists who are dedicated to playing with children.

I think this setup is very thoughtful. My sister, for example, really dislikes going to the hospital.

I think if this setup were available, she might be less afraid.

It would also create happy memories for the children.

It would prevent them from feeling that hospitals are dull, lonely, or scary places.

隔天一早剛踏進臺東馬偕醫院大門，便感受到跟一般醫院迥異的氛圍，不論是醫護還是社工、行政人員，像是沒有社交泡泡，給人沒有距離的真誠和直接，參雜著生氣勃勃充滿朝氣又親切的招呼聲。

因為是混合病房，當天住院的孩子並不多，社工帶我們了解當天的孩子和病情的狀況後，我化好Polo的粗眉毛和臉頰的點點、穿上服裝背著吉他、帶氣紅鼻子，跟著夥伴暖身出發了。那天遇見的孩子，大都比較羞澀與退縮，或許小丑醫生這樣繽紛的服裝和奇特的行為，在東部、在充滿白色地板白色天花板和白色牆面的病房中鮮少出現。

On Wednesday evening, Auntie Ma Zhaoqi finished her work in Tainan and drove south from the west coast, bypassing the tail of the mountain range and turning upward, drawing a big smile on the navigation map. After three hours and ten minutes of driving, I got off the car, carrying my musical instruments and luggage, and when I looked up, my mood was broadened along with the cloudless starry sky. The next morning, as soon as I stepped into the gate of Taitung Mackay Memorial Hospital, I felt an atmosphere that was very different from that of ordinary hospitals. Whether it was medical staff, social workers, or administrative staff, it seemed that there was no social bubble, giving people a sincere and direct feeling without distance, mixed with lively, energetic and friendly greetings. Because it was a mixed ward, there were not many children hospitalized that day. After the social worker took us to understand the children and their conditions that day, I put on Polo's thick eyebrows and dots on my cheeks, put on my costume, carried my guitar, and had a red nose, and set off with my companions to warm up. Most of the children I met that day were rather shy and withdrawn. Perhaps it was because clown doctors with colorful costumes and peculiar behaviors were rarely seen in the East, in wards filled with white floors, white ceilings, and white walls。
