The first volunteer service program organized by the Tainan City Youth Volunteer Center took place on Monday last week, with volunteers going to Jiangong Elementary School in Cigu District to run a three-day broadcasting camp. The children were transformed into little radio announcers who created broadcast scripts that introduced local features of Cigu, such as milkfish, black-faced spoonbills, wetlands and the salt mound. The camp gave the schoolchildren a happy start to their winter holidays.
One of the children, Lee Yi-yun, chose Cigu’s delicious foods as the theme for her broadcast script. She said that Cigu’s seafood is fresh and tasty, with pan-fried milkfish stomachs, baked oysters, baked cyclina clams and oyster omelets all being fine local delicacies. She especially recommended oyster soup as an excellent formula for maintaining a beautiful complexion. She said she hoped tourists from other places would go to visit Cigu and boost the local economy.
The camp was planned by the Chun Yi Foundation’s volunteer team from Radio Victory. Linking the concepts of broadcast and reading, they designed a study course that teaches in a fun way and encourages diverse reading. It teaches children to create radio scripts around a theme of local features, thus strengthening schoolchildren’s ability to express themselves through the spoken word.

The park features sculptures that function as man-made coral reefs, with holes and shelters to attract marine life, thus forming a strikingly beautiful __2__. The sculptures are placed in a way that diverts visitors from nearby natural reefs. This creative approach to ecological preservation demonstrates how art can inspire, educate, and contribute to the sustainability of our environment. The
City life moves fast, and escalators are a lifesaver for busy commuters. __1__ It is widely believed that this practice keeps traffic flowing smoothly and avoids congestion. While on the road, drivers of slower vehicles are required to remain within the outside lane so that those traveling at faster speeds may pass in the inside lane. Similar to traffic lanes that separate vehicles driving at different speeds, this convention on escalators allows for both efficiency and courtesy. __2__ This system reflects an unspoken understanding that facilitates shared use of the space. However, the city of Nagoya, Japan, has
