1. Why do people like to have a big meal at traditional festivals or big events?
   為什麼人們喜歡在傳統節日或大型活動上吃大餐？

   人們喜歡在節日裡大吃一頓，因為這是一種慶祝方式，能讓大家聚在一起。以臺灣的農曆新年為例。我們全家人都會聚在一起大吃一頓，吃我們最喜歡的菜肴。這不僅僅是為了美食，更是為了傳統和與親人共度的時光。大吃大喝也是一種表示好客和慷慨的方式。比如，我表妹結婚時，婚宴規模很大！這是一家人與所有賓客分享喜悅的方式。這些特別的飯菜會給人留下美好的回憶，並有助於紀念重要的時刻。另外，說實話，誰不喜歡豐盛的宴席呢？

   People love big meals at festivals because it’s a way to celebrate and bring everyone together. Take Lunar New Year in Taiwan, for example. My whole family gets together for a huge feast with all our favorite dishes. It’s not just about the food, but about the tradition and spending time with loved ones. Big meals are also a way to show hospitality and generosity. Like, when my cousin got married, the wedding banquet was massive! It was the family’s way of sharing their joy with all the guests. These special meals create memories and help mark important occasions. Plus, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good feast?

2. Is it bad behavior for people to look at their phones during a meal?
   用餐時看手機是不好的行為嗎？

   點此看中文

   是啊，我覺得吃飯的時候玩手機很不禮貌。這就好像你沒有真正和一起吃飯的人在一起。比如，上周我們一家人一起吃飯，我哥哥一直在看手機。這讓我父母覺得自己被忽視了，談話也沒那麼有趣了。吃飯是與人交談和溝通的大好時機。如果你總是看手機，就會錯過這個機會。另外，這也是對做飯人的不尊重。我認為吃飯時最好把手機拿開，專注于食物和同伴。

   Yeah, I think it’s pretty rude to be on your phone during a meal. It’s like you’re not really there with the people you’re eating with. For example, last week my family had dinner together, and my brother kept checking his phone. It made my parents feel ignored, and the conversation wasn’t as fun. Meals are a great time to talk and connect with people. If you’re always looking at your phone, you miss out on that. Plus, it’s kind of disrespectful to the person who cooked the food. I think it’s best to put phones away during meals and focus on the food and the company.

3. Do most people prefer vegetables bought from thesupermarket or grown at home?
   大多數人比較喜歡從超市購買的蔬菜還是自家種植的蔬菜？

   點此看中文

   我認為，在臺北這樣的城市，大多數人從超市購買蔬菜是因為方便。但現在人們越來越喜歡自家種植的蔬菜。我的鄰居有一個小陽臺花園，她在那裡種植番茄和香草。她說，這些蔬菜比商店買的好吃多了。自家種的蔬菜更新鮮，而且你能清楚地知道它們是怎麼長出來的。但不是每個人都有時間或空間自己種植。我家人通常從超市買菜，但我們喜歡奶奶分享她菜園裡的蔬菜。它們似乎更有味道，你知道嗎？

   I think most people in cities like Taipei buy veggies from supermarkets because it’s convenient. But there’s definitely a growing trend of people preferring home-grown vegetables. My neighbor has a small balcony garden where she grows tomatoes and herbs. She says they taste way better than store-bought ones. Home-grown veggies are fresher and you know exactly how they were grown. But not everyone has the time or space to grow their own. My family usually buys from the supermarket, but we love it when my grandma shares vegetables from her garden. They just seem to have more flavor, you know?

4. Are there any difficulties when people grow plants in cities?
   在城市裡種植植物是否會遇到困難？

   點此看中文

   在城市裡種植植物是一項相當具有挑戰性的工作。主要問題是空間。比如，在我的公寓樓裡，我們沒有院子，所以人們都嘗試在陽臺或窗臺上種東西。我媽媽想種一些香草，但我們的陽臺沒有足夠的陽光。污染也是一個問題。我朋友的爸爸不得不停止在屋頂種菜，因為空氣品質不好。還有蟲害問題。在城市裡，你不能使用強效殺蟲劑，所以蟲子很難控制。如果你住在公寓裡，把土壤和設備搬上樓就會很麻煩！

   Growing plants in cities can be pretty challenging. The main problem is space. Like, in my apartment building, we don’t have yards, so people try to grow stuff on balconies or windowsills. My mom tried to grow some herbs, but our balcony doesn’t get enough sunlight. Pollution can be an issue too. My friend’s dad had to stop growing vegetables on their rooftop because the air quality wasn’t great. There’s also the problem of pests. In the city, you can’t use strong pesticides, so bugs can be hard to control. And if you’re in an apartment, carrying soil and equipment up stairs can be a real pain!
