Can you tell what these two girls are doing? They are making snow angels! If you've never played in the snow before, you might not know how to make a snow angel. First, you need to find a place where the snow is new and smooth, like the field in this picture. Then you lay down on your back in the snow and put your arms out. Next, you move your arms up and down and move your legs in and out in the snow.
When you stand up, you have to be very careful. Turn around and you will see the shape of an angel in the snow in front of you! Even though it can be hard to find snow in Taipei, you can still make angels. Just go to the beach and make them in the sand. Of course, they won't be snow angels. They'll be sand angels!

你看得出來這兩個女孩在做什麼嗎？她們在做雪天使！假如你不曾玩過雪，你可能不知道怎麼做雪天使。首先，你要找一塊剛下雪且雪質綿滑的地方，像是這張照片的空地。然後，你躺在雪上，把手臂伸展開來。接著，讓手臂上下移動，雙腿不斷打開又合上。

當你站起來時，你必須非常小心。轉過身，你會看見雪地裡有天使的形狀，出現在你眼前！雖然台北很難看到雪，你還是可以做天使。只要到海邊，在沙灘上做天使。當然，那不是雪天使，而是沙天使！

Many consumers are guilty of filling drawers or closets with old laptops, cellphones, fitness trackers and other electronic devices once they are no longer needed. It’s hard to know where to recycle such items, or it seems costly and inconvenient to do so. The world generates millions of tons of electronic waste — also called e-waste — each year. According to the UN’s most recent estimate, people worldwide produced 62 million metric tons of e-waste in 2022, and only about 22 percent of it was properly recycled. The US’ Environmental Protection Agency estimates that less than a quarter of e-waste is
You’re sitting in class when a classmate asks to borrow a pencil. It seems like a small favor, so you agree without hesitation. The following week, the same classmate asks to share your notes. Later, they request help with a group project. You agree each time — after all, you helped out the first time — but before you know it, it has become automatic. This scenario demonstrates the “foot-in-the-door technique,” a psychological concept that shows how agreeing to small, acceptable demands makes it easier to accept larger ones later on. The name for this strategy comes from door-to-door
A: The four-day Tomb Sweeping Day long weekend begins Friday and will run until Monday. Are you going to sweep your ancestors’ tombs? B: I did in advance last weekend, so I can go to Kaohsiung to see the musical “The Phantom of the Opera.” A: Wow, is “Phantom” touring Taiwan again? It debuted in 1986, so this year marks the 40th anniversary of the show. B: And it’s not just touring Kaohsiung starting March 31, but also Taipei starting April 21 and Taichung starting May 26. A: “Phantom” is one of the world’s Four Major Musicals. I’ve seen all of them, except “Les
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Gig Tripping “Gig tripping” combines concerts with travel. People fly to see their favorite artists perform — usually abroad—and spend a few days sightseeing before or after the show. While die-hard fans have done this since the 1960s, the post-pandemic travel boom changed the game. Even people who aren’t superfans are now booking international concert trips because they want to make the most of travel opportunities. This trend exploded in the US, as the math makes sense. Domestic concert tickets are so costly that flying abroad for the show plus tourism expenses often matches or even beats the price
