200 years of Bicycles
Hi everyone!
騎腳踏車好好玩喔! 你會騎嗎?
I learned how to ride a bicycle when I was in the fifth grade … and I still
ride a bicycle whenever I can!
Using a bicycle is a smart idea. 不用汽油或馬達 … you just need your legs!
Sit on the seat, put your feet on the pedals … push the pedals and go! --
It's pedal power! Amazing! Such a great idea!
So, who had this smart idea? 是誰先發明腳踏車?
Well, the answer is: a lot of people.
The first idea for a bicycle is more than 200 years old! It was made in
Germany. But the first bicycle didn't have pedals … you put your feet on the
ground and pushed the bicycle forward with your legs.
Now, bicycles use pedals, a chain, and gears …. now, you can ride a bicycle
really far and really fast!
腳踏車改變了全世界。 Today, lots of people use "public bicycles."
"Public" means "for people" and … well … you know what "bicycle" means,
right?
A public bicycle is a bicycle anyone can borrow - or rent - for only a little
money. It's an easy and convenient idea!
In Taipei, public bicycles are called "U-Bikes" and in Kaohsiung, they are
called "C-Bikes."台灣到處都找得到腳踏車!
Hey … maybe we don't need so many cars or motorcycles…we can ride bicycles!
Bicycles are clean and quiet … and you can get some exercise when you ride
them, too!
And did you know? Taiwan makes really good bicycles! All over the world,
people love bicycles made in Taiwan. Cool, right?
I'm really glad so many people had great ideas that gave us bicycles! Pedal
power is amazing!

Bat Nail Painting
Hey there, everyone!
Did you all hear the interesting news story about a really rare bat?
這是一種稀有的蝙蝠喔!
Batman: The Dark Knight!
No, not Batman! A bat!
This type of bat is very special, 剩下幾百隻而已. And that's sad, right?
These bats are so rare, that many people thought they were already gone
forever.
But then, a few years ago, the bats were found again!
Now the bats only live in one place, in one cave! 牠只住在一個洞穴裡!
Batman: The Batcave!
No! Not the Batcave!
This cave is in a country called Cuba. And the cave is nice, and comfortable,
and warm, just how the bats like it.
But because there are so few of the bats left, scientists want to keep an eye
on them, they want to check how many there are and track them.
科學家想知道到底還有幾隻這種蝙蝠.
"How do you track hundreds of bats? 追蹤蝙蝠很難吧!"
Batman: The Batsignal!

And the best part, is that the paint doesn't hurt the bats!
這種指甲油並不影響蝙蝠的生活. They just look cool!
Hopefully, one day, there will be lots more of these bats!
希望以後會有更多這種蝙蝠. And they can move to other caves, and have little
bat babies, and...

但我很喜歡彩虹。But … you need rain to make a rainbow. 可是下雨才有彩虹。
Rainbows happen when light shines through water… and rain is water!
Sometimes we can see a rainbow just after a big rain… that's because there
is still some water in the sky.
There are seven colors in a rainbow -- red, orange, yellow, green, blue,
indigo and violet. 彩虹有七個顏色,紅橙黃綠藍靛紫。
Every rainbow is different … some rainbows go away really fast … but
sometimes we get lucky and see the rainbows stay in the sky for a long time.
有一些彩虹很快就消失但有時候會掛在天空很久。

happens! One time in England there was a rainbow for 6 hours, but the Taipei
rainbow set a new record! 上一個世界紀錄是在英國,
6小時的彩虹,但台北的彩虹刷新了紀錄!Cool!
To make a rainbow you need water in the sky and bright sunshine… So, the

Eco-friendly Legos
Do you think about whether your toys are bad for the environment?
你有想過,玩具可能會傷害環境嗎?
When you don't want your toys anymore, do you give them to other people?
Or do you throw them in the garbage? 不要的舊玩具,你會送給別人? 還是丟掉?
Do you think about what happens to them when you throw them away?
If your toys are made of plastic, they might stay in the environment for a
very long time.
This is because plastic takes a very long time to break down.
And that is bad for the environment. 塑膠玩具很難分解,對環境很不好。
Do you have Legos at home? 你家有樂高積木嗎?
Legos are made out of plastic. But guess what?
The company that makes Legos is trying to make the toys safer for the
environment. 樂高就是塑膠做的,現在他們想要用一些對環境好的材料
The Lego company says they are going to try to make Lego bricks that are made
out of natural things, like sugarcane.
Sugarcane doesn't hurt the environment if you throw it away.
樂高公司決定要用甘蔗來做積木,丟掉也比較不會傷害環境。
The company also wants people to give their old Legos to other people to play
with. 舊的樂高不玩了可以送別人
So if you have Legos that you don't want anymore, don't throw them away.
Protect the environment, give them to other people instead!
