Are you hot, bored and out of ideas for summer fun?
Why not take a trip to the beach? One of the best ways to spend a day at the beach is making a sand castle.
The sand castle in this picture must have taken a long time to make. It probably took many people working with many different tools to build a sand castle so big. Building a sand castle this big would also take a lot of patience. Just think -- if you make one tiny mistake, the whole sand castle will crumble!

You don't need a lot of tools or a lot of people to build your own sand castle. All you need is some sand, water and your hands. Of course, if you can find them, there are a few things that might help you out. A shovel will help you dig and a bucket can hold sand and water.
Don't stop there! Look all over the beach to see what you can find to decorate your sand castle. Shells, leaves and pieces of wood can make beautiful decorations.(Kayleen Hartman, Staff Writer)
你是否感到炎熱、無聊,不知夏日該以何為樂?
為何不到海邊一遊呢?在海邊度日最有趣的方式之一就是蓋沙堡。
照片中的沙堡一定花了不少時間才蓋好,大概要很多人用多種不同的工具才能蓋這麼大的沙堡。蓋這麼大的沙堡也得要很有耐心,想想看,你若犯一丁點錯誤,整個沙堡就會傾毀。
蓋自己的沙堡不用很多工具,也無需很多人幫忙,你只需要一些沙子、水,和雙手,當然囉,你如果有辦法找到一些工具,它們也能夠幫得上忙。鏟子能幫你挖沙,而水桶可以用來裝沙子或水。
不止如此!四處看看海邊,找找有沒有能裝飾沙堡的東西。貝殼、樹葉和木片都是美麗的裝飾品。

Let’s explore another delicacy primarily known to Tainan locals: floating milkfish in thick soup. Despite its peculiar name, this dish is another Tainan specialty that showcases the popularity of milkfish, which is made into fish paste and served in thick soup. Unlike the version with tutuo fish, which also adds other ingredients to its thick soup, the floating milkfish version primarily features the “floating fish” itself in its thick soup, ensuring that the fish paste remains the star of the dish. 讓我們來探索另一道台南人熟悉的美食:浮水魚羹。這道菜名奇特的美食,再再展現了台南虱目魚料理的多樣。浮水魚羹是用虱目魚漿做成的羹品,雖然和𩵚魠魚羹一樣是羹湯,但不像𩵚魠魚羹會在湯中加入其他食材,而是讓虱目魚漿成為這道料理的主角。 peculiar (adj.) 獨特的;古怪的 The belly of a milkfish is considered the most
