做運動，送單車，贏禮券？！
Free Bikes and Shopping Coupons If You Exercise
.
Summary:
To tackle the ever-increasing obesity rate in England, the National Health Service is considering offering incentives, including free bikes and shopping coupons, to citizens meeting weekly exercise targets, which can be tracked on a fitness app on their smartphones.

Language Enhancement:
Incentive (n.)(激勵)
此字所指的並非言語或精神上的鼓勵，而是物質上的利誘，吸引人們去做某一件通常他們不感興趣的事，因此也特別常見於政府或商業機構的政策。用法是 incentive(s) + for/to + sb. + to-inf.。如果是指概括的誘因，incentive 是不可數；如果是指個別的利誘方法，則可數加 –s。
e.g. The bank is offering a great incentive for people to open an account today – they will receive a small table decoration, made of crystal!
e.g. There’s virtually no incentive for citizens to recycle in Hong Kong.

【NDC's Taiwan Employment Gold Card Office x Foreign Entrepreneurs】
The Taiwan Employment Gold Card Office (TEGO), supported by the National Development Council (NDC), has officially begun servicing members starting in October. Their first official event was held in November with the goal of helping entrepreneurs to develop their business in Taiwan.
The "What Resources are Available to You?” networking event was held today, Monday, November 2nd, for foreigners interested in learning more about starting a business in Taiwan. The panel included representatives from Taiwan Tech Arena (TTA), the National Development Fund’s (NDF) Angel Investment Program, Asia Silicon Valley Development Agency (ASVDA), and the Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA), all of whom introduced the resources available under their respective programs. TEGO also invited John Chen, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Hive Ventures and current Gold Card holder to share his experience starting a fund in Taiwan.
Overall, 65 participants attended this event, with 20 others who joined virtually online. After a lively panel discussion, attendees and panelists were able to network over some food and drinks. We hope that new ideas and inspirations will sprout from this event and hopefully blossom into new businesses and startups, paving the way for more foreign talents to come to Taiwan.
TEGO will be hosting more events in the future, including events that will help foreigners adapt to their new life in Taiwan and working in Taiwan. We will keep you posted!
