Hello everybody, and welcome to a new episode of News Bites!
I'm Trevor Tortomasi...
And I'm Ryan Drillsma.
In today's news:
Chinese classes for foreigners, Minecraft classes for the world, and Arthur
finishes 26 years on TV.
All that and more, coming up next.

桃園提供中文課幫移工學習中文
Taoyuan Offers Foreign Workers Mandarin Classes
Have you ever tried to learn a new language?
If you're listening to News Bites, then you probably have!
But many people in Taiwan have spent more time learning English...
So maybe you don't realize (沒發現) how difficult it is to learn to speak and
read Chinese.
Of course, radio, TV, and books can help a lot with learning a new language,
but there's nothing better than having a good teacher!
And right now, there are many people who need to work in Taiwan, but don't
speak Chinese as their first language, and might not have enough money for
classes.
現在有很多人要在台灣工作,但是他們也許還不會講中文,而上中文課的費用也是一個沉重的負擔。
So the city of Taoyuan is starting to offer free (免費的) Chinese classes to
migrant workers (移工).
The free classes are to help people who have moved to Taiwan from other
countries, like Indonesia (印尼), Vietnam (越南), the Philippines (菲律賓),
and Thailand (泰國).
The classes will focus (集中在、專注於) on Chinese that people can use in the
workplace, and to have a comfortable life in the city.
And the more Chinese they learn, the easier it will be for them to be a part
of Taiwanese society.
來台灣的外國人多學習中文,也可以越容易地融入台灣社會。
The classes start from March 6th, and will go until April 24th.
Remember, if you are learning a second or a third language other than
Chinese, you are already very lucky (幸運).
It's not easy now, but it will definitely make your life easier in the future
(未來).
Just remember to thank your teachers!

老師說【麥塊】是個好的學習工具
Teachers Say Minecraft Can Be A Good Learning Tool
Almost 13 years ago, in 2009, one man made a video game (電動遊戲) by himself.
He used his programming skills (寫電腦程序的技能) to make an entire world in
his computer.
And two years later, with help from more people, the game quickly became very
famous (有名).
It's called Minecraft (當個創世神,也被稱為麥塊), and now millions of people
are playing it!
But many teachers are saying that it's not just a game... it could also be a
good learning tool (教學工具)!
There are many ways to make learning more interesting, but one of the best
ways is to make a lesson into a game.
讓學習的過程更有趣有很多方法,不過最好的方式之一就是把教學變成遊戲。
This is called "gamification" (遊戲化).
Gamification makes it easier for people, especially kids, to stay engaged
(互動、參與) in learning new things.
And because of this, some teachers are starting to see how Minecraft could be
helpful in classes about science (科學), technology (科技), engineering
(工程), and math (數學).
The company Microsoft (微軟) has even made an educational version (教學版本)
of the game, for use in schools.
Teachers say it's not just a class about the game... and it's not just a
gamification of reality.
老師說,這不只是關於遊戲的課程,也不只是現實的遊戲化。
It's a balance (平衡) between both, and can teach kids about the connections
between them.
We play games to have fun, but they can also teach us a lot about our world.
And the more we learn about our world, the more we're ready to create our own!

電視卡通【亞瑟小子】將要結束了
TV Cartoon 'Arthur' Ends
The TV show "Arthur" (亞瑟小子) is finally ending, after 26 years.
That makes it the longest-running (播出、持續最久的) cartoon on U.S.
television!
It's a show about a young aardvark (土豚) named Arthur, and his family and
friends.
And it first aired in the year 1996!
亞瑟這個卡通第一次播出是1996年!
Many people say he taught a generation of children about kindness, empathy,
and inclusion.
很多人說,這個卡通教了一代的孩子們關於友善,同情,和包容。
The final episode looks at the future, and predicts (預測) what life will be
like for Arthur and his friends in 20 years.
The show won many awards (獎項), like four Daytime Emmys (艾美獎), and a
BAFTA Children's Award (英國電影金像獎).
But Arthur isn't disappearing for good!
Social media promise Arthur will be back in reruns, a new podcast (播客), and
short videos.
Which cartoon do you think will take Arthur's place, for the next generation
of children?

10-year-old Shining, from Dong Xing Elementary School in Hsinchu County,
talks about a very special kind of beetle.

Hey there, and welcome to News Bites!
I'm Trevor Tortomasi...
And I'm Paz Bueno.
In today's news:
Treasure becomes trash, a barefoot man makes money, and things to know in the
summer heat.
Stay tuned for those stories, coming up next!
________________________________
裝滿現金的紙袋 失而復得
Big Bag of Money Gets Thrown Away
What should you do if you accidentally throw a large amount of money into the
trash?
萬一不小心把大筆現款給扔了,該怎麼辦?
Imagine this… you have over 80,000 NT in cash (現金), and you want to
deposit it in the bank (存進銀行) in the morning.
You can't find anywhere to keep the money safe, so you put it in a paper bag
(紙袋).
But when the garbage truck (垃圾車) drives by your house, your family throws
the paper bag away!
This might seem like a scene from a movie (電影片段), but it's actually what
happened to a family in Hsinchu last month.
The Hsinchu Bureau of Environmental Protection (新竹環保局) received a phone
call one day, saying that an elderly member of the family (家裡的長輩)
accidentally threw away a paper bag with 80,000 NT inside.
They quickly called the garbage truck workers, who then told the family to go
to the landfill (掩埋場) as soon as possible.
Luckily, after one hour of searching (尋找), the family found their paper bag
with the money.
The garbage truck crew later explained (解釋) that if someone accidentally
throws away something important, they can most likely still recover it (尋獲)
in the first hour.
But after one hour has passed, the garbage truck may have already arrived at
the incinerator (焚化爐).
So remember, always keep your valuables in a safe place…
And if they ever get thrown away, you'd better hurry up!

赤腳英國男子 獲得捐款
U.K. Man Makes Money Being Barefoot
Would you ever leave your house and go out into the public without any shoes
on?
你會赤著腳走到公共場所嗎?
Nowadays, shoes are not just a necessity (必需品).
Some people mix and match shoes with different outfits (服裝), and some
people even wear shoes to show off their wealth.
So can you imagine living without shoes for a month?
Well, believe it or not, this is exactly what one man in the U.K. did.
George, a 20-year-old man from Cambridge, England, got rid of his shoes in
October of 2021.
He was originally a "religious shoe-wearer" (鞋子狂熱分子), wearing shoes
both indoors and outdoors.
One day, he suddenly started to question why he needed shoes, and searched
online (網路上尋找) for an answer.
But instead, he found the many benefits (好處) of NOT wearing shoes.
And from that moment on, he decided he was never going to wear shoes again.
After that, many people on the streets looked at him with disdain
(厭惡的表情), and store workers wouldn't let him inside.
But George said he felt happier than he had ever been before, and shared his
experiences on social media.
Since then, millions of people have seen his videos, and his fans (粉絲) have
even sent him money to support his barefoot lifestyle.
Now, George is optimistic (樂觀) about the future, saying that it's only a
matter of time before he makes more money.
But if you're going to go somewhere without shoes, just remember to watch
where you walk!

什麼會讓各國人民覺得幸福?
What Makes People Happy in Different Countries?
There's no doubt that this summer has been one of the hottest in history.
今年夏天的炎熱程度,應該是史上最熱的暑假之一。
There has been lots of research that strongly suggests the weather affects
our moods and emotions.
A lot of people think that hot and humid weather makes a person cranky
(暴躁易怒), and that cold, dark winters can easily make a person depressed
(憂鬱).
And results from one study show that people who live in places where the
average monthly temperature is around 18 degrees Celsius are usually the
happiest.
But does this mean people who live in countries near the equator (赤道), or
in very cold countries, are never happy?
Of course not!
So what makes people happy to live in a country?
According to research by the World Values Survey (世界價值觀調查), the level
of people's happiness in a country comes mainly from three things.
Those three things are strong economic development (蓬勃的經濟), democracy
(民主化), and inclusiveness (包容度).
Researchers say that together, these three things help people to feel "free".
So, the next time you are feeling moody or cranky about the weather, think
about these things, before you wish you lived in a different country!

台灣與全球的乾旱
Taiwan and the Worldwide Drought
2022 has been a very challenging year for climates all over the world, Taiwan
included.
2022年以來,世界各地的氣候造成許多困境,台灣也包括在內。
News of country-wide droughts have been heard from all over the world,
including the U.S., China, and many countries in Europe.
And at first (最開始), Taiwan began this year with plentiful rainfall
(豐沛的降雨), in the rainy season between May and June.
But by late August, the water in many of Taiwan's reservoirs (水庫) was very
low.
That's because rainfall (降雨) from July to August this year has been 60%
less than average.
Some of the reservoirs even dropped under 50% of the water storage capacity
(蓄水量).
Many reservoirs in northern Taiwan had already decided to save water, too, by
providing less water pressure (水壓) to homes.
Luckily (幸好), Typhoon Hinnamnor (颱風軒嵐諾) came just in time!
Typhoon Hinnamnor brought lots of water to reservoirs all over the country.
And through the cooperation of Taiwan's homes and water providers (水公司),
the country's water levels were finally able to recover (恢復).
Who knows how much worse things would have gotten if Typhoon Hinnamnor had
decided to bypass Taiwan?

秘密學校 協助阿富汗女性就學
Secret Schools for Afghan Women
Since the U.S. military left Afghanistan, the majority of Afghan girls
haven't been to school in over a year.
自從美軍撤離阿富汗,多數阿富汗女孩已經超過一年沒踏進任何一間教室。
The U.S. military (美軍) left Afghanistan on August 30th, 2021, after 20
years of war (戰爭).
But that also left the country to the Taliban (塔利班), who now rule
Afghanistan (在阿富汗執政).
And according to Taliban tradition, many women are not allowed to have an
education!
That means many women and girls in Afghanistan have been banned (禁止) from
going to school.
In light of so much oppression (壓制), many people started to look for their
own ways of educating young women.
One such person is Sodaba Nazhand, who started an informal school with her
friends in Kabul (喀布爾), Afghanistan's capital (首都).
Sodaba and her friends secretly teach English, math, and science to girls and
young women.
Sodaba says they want to use education as a way to protest (反抗) against the
Taliban.
She says they are teaching girls and young women to stand up for their rights
(權利).
Going to school can be a lot of hard work... but not everyone has the chance
to learn new things every day.
So try to remember how lucky you are, to be getting an education!

維他命B到底有幾種?
How Many Kinds of 'Vitamin B' Are There?
"Vitamin B" can be an important vitamin to help people focus... but which
kind is best?
維他命B可以加強注意力,可是到底要選哪一種呢?
There are a total of 8 different kinds of vitamin B, and they can each help
with different bodily functions (生理機能).
To improve energy levels, many people take vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B7.
These can help with metabolism (代謝), and are also found in nuts, eggs, and
milk.
Meanwhile, vitamin B1, B3, B6, and B12 can help with protecting the nervous
system (神經系統).
These vitamins can be found in chicken, pig liver, and also most kinds of
fish.
There is also one more category of vitamin B, which helps keep red blood
cells healthy.
They are vitamins B6, B9, B12, and they are found in citrus fruits
(柑橘類水果), like oranges, grapefruit, and lemons, and also in spinach and
yogurt.
So vitamin B can be easily found in many of the foods we have for breakfast,
lunch, or dinner!
However, it's important to remember that it doesn't help to take more than
one vitamin B pill per day.
That's because our bodies can only digest and absorb (消化並吸收) a little
bit.
So before you take any vitamins, ask your parents and your doctor which ones
can help your body the most.
And remember, nothing is better than a well-balanced diet, so no matter which
vitamins you take, make sure to eat healthy food every day!

苗栗製茶職人贏得英國美食大賞「3星級」
Taiwan Tea Wins Big at UK Competition
Tea is a big part of culture in the United Kingdom.
Tea time is not just tea time.
There's "elevenses", that's tea served at around 11 o'clock in the morning.
There's "afternoon tea", that's tea with sandwiches and maybe cakes.
And there's "high tea", that's tea with a hot meal after work.
Some even say the British are "tea people".
And now, a tea made right here in Taiwan has won a big British award.
The tea, called "Oriental Beauty Tea 1" was awarded 3 stars in the Great
Taste Awards.
Three stars means something is "extraordinarily (格外的、絕頂的) tasty food".
How hard is it to get three stars?
Only 2 percent of the foods and drinks that enter the competition get 3 stars.
"Oriental Beauty Tea 1" is made by Taiwan tea maker Jacky Chang.
He makes his tea in Miaoli County.
Jacky says to make "Oriental Beauty Tea 1", he had to do something different.
Taiwan had a lot of rainy weather this year.
And Jacky had to pick his tea leaves at a different time.
Then he had to be very careful when roasting the tea leaves.
The humidity and temperature had to be carefully controlled.
Jacky 烘培茶葉的時候必須小心控制濕度和溫度。
Jacky says he is going to rename the tea "Queen's Garden".
He says the name is in honor of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II.

雙頭烏龜慶祝25歲生日
Two-headed Turtle Turns 25
A turtle is turning 25 years old... twice.
How can you turn 25 years old two times?
Well, this turtle has two heads!
Janus the turtle also has two hearts.
He has two pairs of lungs (肺).
Janus was born at the Geneva Natural History Museum, in Switzerland.
The museum has a team of people who take care of him.
Every day, they feed Janus organic salad.
Janus also gets daily massages (按摩).
And he takes baths in green tea and chamomile (甘菊).
The people who take care of him say he has two very different personalities
(個性).
They say Janus' right head is more curious (好奇).
And his left head loves to eat.
One head's favorite food is endives (苦苣).
And the other head's favorite food is carrots.
Janus would not survive long in the wild.
That's because he cannot pull his head into his shell when he is in danger.
But luckily, he lives at the museum.
And the people there take very good care of him.
Now Janus is turning 25 years old.
雙頭烏龜Janus要慶祝他的25歲生日了。
The museum thinks he might be the world's oldest two-headed turtle.

Hello everybody, and welcome to a new episode of News Bites!
I'm Paz Bueno…

In today's news:
Taiwan's first climate refugees, the EU's ban of products made with forced
labor, and turning lunch boxes into electricity!
All that and more, coming up next.
________________________________
台灣地區的首批氣候難民恐怕會比預計中更早出現
How Soon Might Taiwan See its First Climate Refugees?
Many of us have heard of the dangers of climate change and the risks that
many people living in coastal areas (沿海地帶) are facing.
However, did you know that there are places in Taiwan that are already
suffering from rising sea levels caused by climate change?
台灣有些地方已經遭受氣候變化導致的海平面上升。
Yunlin County's Tai-zi Village (雲林縣台子村) has just built a new seawall
(海塘) earlier this year to prevent the increasing number of large waves that
affect the coastal village.
Chien Lien-kwei (簡連貴), a professor at the National Ocean University
(國立海洋大學) has been studying Taiwan's coastlines for many years.
He says the Yunlin coastline's ocean levels have risen from 9 to 22
centimeters since 2017.
Professor Chien strongly advises (建議) residents of Tai-zi to make plans to
leave the coastal area as soon as possible.
However, it's not just Tai-zi that is facing these problems.
There are many farming and fishing communities along the Western coast of
Taiwan, and many of them face similar threats to their lifestyle.
台灣西海岸有許多農業和漁業社區,其中許多人的生活方式面臨著類似的威脅。
And not only are sea levels rising, but also the land where people can live
is sinking (下沉).
One can only imagine the damage that is done when a large wave crashes over
the seawall and floods the homes of people living along the coastline.

歐盟協議下令禁止進口所有用強迫勞工製造的商品
EU plans to ban all products made by forced labor
Earlier in September 2022, the European Commission (歐盟委員會) made a
proposal to ban any goods that are made with forced labor.
歐盟委員會提議禁止使用強迫勞動製造的任何商品。
The goal for passing this law is to keep products made with forced labor from
entering any of the 27 countries of the European Union.
The law will target the main factors in the global supply chain, including
importers, manufacturers, producers and product suppliers.
該法將針對全球供應鏈中的主要因素,包括進口商、製造商、生產商和產品供應商。
The EU executive commented, "This law can be applied to any stage in the
production of a product, all the way from harvesting the raw material to the
final assembly or manufacturing, even to any related processing that's
related to the products."
該法適用於產品生產的任何階段,從原材料的收穫到最終組裝或製造,甚至與產品相關的任何相關加工。
When this law is passed and is applied to all 27 EU countries, the
governments will have the power to block (擋) products from entering each
country's market and even withdraw (撤回) products that are proven to have
been made with forced labor.
National authorities will have to provide evidence (證據) of forced labor
before taking any actions.

垃圾山的一線希望;將廢棄紙盒轉換成電能
Hope for trash; turning cardboard lunch boxes into electricity
Ever since the coronavirus pandemic started in late 2019, our lifestyles have
all changed drastically.
Even the way we get our daily meals has changed!
Food Panda and UberEats have become the number one choice for many people to
order food.
Because of this change, the amount of waste (垃圾) that's produced from
ordering food delivery has skyrocketed (飆升) in the past two to three years.
Taiwan's biggest paper production company Cheng Loong Corporation (正隆) has
been fighting to deal with the increasing amount of paper waste.
Although Cheng Loong might not be a household name (家喻戶曉的名字), their
products have been used by almost every person in Taiwan, including tissues,
toilet paper and food boxes.
The company has invested billions of dollars to build sustainable solutions.
正隆已投資數十億元來構建可持續的解決方案。
Cheng Loong has come up with a way to filter the non-recyclable waste from
the recycling process and then turn those into small, easy-to-use fuel
pellets.
Then, these fuel pellets are used at the new facility in Zhubei to help with
drying the paper pulp (紙糊).
This new facility cost Cheng Loong around 1.7 billion NT (17億元) to build.
The company is already using the fuel pellets for around 50% of all its
energy needs, replacing coal and decreasing CO2 emissions (二氧化碳排放量).
Cheng Loong aims to process all waste material at this new facility and has
goals to reduce the amount of coal it uses every year by about 30,000 tons in
the near future.

We all feel angry sometimes. Maybe someone did something to annoy us. Or
maybe we're angry at ourselves. Feeling angry is totally normal. So when you
are angry, how do you handle those feelings?
