Japanese Dog Trainer Wants More 'Poop Posts'
Oh no, I've run out of doggie poop bags! I hate it when that happens.
Whenever I walk my dog, I always forget to bring enough bags to pick up his
poop!
我每一次遛狗,都忘記多帶一些塑膠袋裝狗的便便!
It's important to clean up after your dogs when you take them for a walk,
otherwise there would be doggie poop everywhere outside!

A woman in Japan named Akari Tanaka actually had a great idea to fix this
problem.
有個叫做Akari的日本人想到一個辦法。
Akari set up "poop posts" all over her neighborhood. The poop posts come with
plastic bags. People can use these bags to clean up their dog's poop.

There is also a trash can where they throw away the used bags.
那裡也有垃圾桶可以丟掉這些袋子。
That is so thoughtful and convenient!
Akari hopes when people are walking their dogs, they will take bags from
these posts to clean up after their pets, and this will help keep the
neighborhood clean.
Akari 希望遛狗的人可以多多利用便便站,讓社區變乾淨。

紐約有一座新的超級摩天大樓!
A 'super skyscraper' is a building that's between 300 and 600 meters tall.
Taipei 101 is about 508 meters tall… so Taipei 101 is a 'super skyscraper.'
超級摩天大樓300到600公尺高,像台北101就有五百零八公尺。
Many cities around the world are building super skyscrapers because there
isn't any more room! The only place to build is up!

There are about 8 million people in New York City, but New York City is quite

And, they just finished building a new super skyscraper in New York… it's
about 435 meters tall… so it's not as tall as Taipei 101.
這棟最新建築高度435公尺,比台北101矮一點點。
But, this new building in New York City is the skinniest super skyscraper in
the world! Skinny is another way to say 'thin.' And yeah! This new super
skyscraper is super skinny! When you look at it, you think, "Wow… is that
going to fall over?"
但它是全世界最瘦的摩天大樓!看起來真的是弱不禁風。
The reason it's so skinny is there just isn't any more land in downtown New
York City.
它會這麼窄,是因為紐約市區土地不夠了。
Wow! This new super skyscraper is really super!

And, guess what?! Taiwan has a free mobile app, to help you find over 8000

台灣現在有一款免費的App,能帶你找到八千多個裝水的地方!
Folks in Taiwan used to leave tea pots filled with water outside for thirsty
passers-by to drink, so that everyone could be safe in the heat.
奉茶是從前大家會在路邊放水壺,讓路過的人喝水解渴。
Which is why the app is called 【奉茶行動】.
