7月16日是世界蛇日，訂立目的是要為這類常被人誤解和討厭的爬行動物平反，希望更多人關注具重要生態價值的物種，並學習欣賞牠們的獨特。

World Snake Day is an important day when it comes to increasing awareness about the different species of snake all around the world. Snakes tend to have a negative connotation. A lot of people are scared of snakes, and of course, we can definitely understand the reasons why! No one likes the thought of being gobbled up by a snake, do they? Plus, when someone is two-faced or a bad person, they are often referred to as snakes. However, snakes are great creatures and they are so important to the world that we live in.

「今年,你最重要的東西是什麼?」
2020,愛你愛你,美麗的數字,讓這一年看起來很美好,
在這個年,許多人經歷了大挑戰、完成了重要大事
說快不快,這一年來累積了好多努力和回憶

倒數的日子裡,默默回想著2020的一切
「今年,你最重要的東西是什麼呢?」
也許是家人,是朋友,是情人,情感上的,物質上的...

但我想說,別忘了最重要的你
那個又長大了一歲的自己
謝謝他,在面對挑戰時,勇往直前
謝謝他,支持自己做的任何決定
謝謝他,讓自己更懂得珍惜身邊的一切

2020,愛你也愛我
聖誕節,傳達心意的日子裡
送給你/我一份重要的禮物

之前在EEC Unit 2教袋鼠🦘那一課時，
教到了maze (n.) 迷宮；
在Unit 4教希臘羅馬神話故事Greek and Roman Mythology時，
又提到了labyrinth (n.) 迷宮。

好多孩子私訊俐媽，
他們的偶像發行歌曲都不約而同以maze, labyrinth為主題，
俐媽也答應過你們，
會找機會教你們二者的差別。

現在，俐媽提供網頁和補充單字，
大家能不能看出它們的差別呢？

A thousand red eggs made - Taiwanese street food千顆紅蛋製作 - 台灣
A red egg means to boil the whole egg or duck egg and dye the egg shell red with red to make a red egg. Red has been regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness, joy, and hope since ancient times, and has the effect of warding off evil spirits. The egg has multiple symbols, among which the original symbol is the beginning of life and the completion of life. Taken together, the red egg has become a mascot, and eating red eggs shows a rich connotation.

A Japanese High School with a unique concept in Fukushima that is the first of its kind.

Fukushima Futaba Mirai Gakuen (a.k.a Futaba Future High School) opened two years ago near the evacuation zone of the nuclear power plant in Fukushima for the young students living in the area.

Ever since the tsunami, all I have seen and heard on the media is the negative things about Fukushima - I mean I get it, that’s what makes the headlines and catches peoples attention… and I have to admit even for me, before going to Fukushima, I pretty much had a negative connotation when someone brought up the word "Fukushima".

I thought it was a dangerous place to go because of the radiation etc… However, after going this time, I realised that wasn’t the case.
I felt behind all the negative things said in the media, were all these locals trying to get their voices heard by trying to make a movement and help their community become a better place.

So I had to make this video to help them spread the word and show people another side of Fukushima and their kind welcoming locals who are open to share with you their stories.

Thank you to all the students/teachers and locals I met. You guys are an inspiration. Keep on doing what you do!!!!!!

細sai3 路lou6 仔zai2 玩waan2 泥nai4 沙saa1
literally means "children playing sand", but actually carries a negative connotation as 兒ji4 戲hei (嬉hei) = children's play, not serious

e.g. you can use it when somebody is not being serious at things?
你估細路仔玩泥沙咩？
nei5 gu2 sai3 lou6 zai2 waan2 nai4 saa1 me1 ？
= you think it's just a children's play that we don't need to be serious?
