After the school year ended on June 30, Amanda asks her best friend Sharon if she’d like to go somewhere with her.
6月30日期末後,Amanda邀好友Sharon一同出遊。
Sharon: Sounds great! Where do you want to go?
Amanda: How about going to Green Island and visiting various tourist spots there? I heard that there used to be a political prison there, but it’s now a Human Rights Culture Park!
Sharon: I know that you are always fond of history, but the Green Island I’ve heard of is a place known for diving and the Sea Water Hot Spring. Is that the same place?
Amanda: Yes it is! Let’s go home to discuss it with our parents first. If they agree, let’s book flight tickets and hotels as soon as possible! You know how hot Green Island can be in summer!

In the dense forests of Tanzania, a young researcher sat quietly among the trees, her gaze fixed on a troop of chimpanzees. It was 1960, and Jane Goodall, armed with nothing but a notebook and endless curiosity, was about to change science forever. Inspired by childhood stories like the Dr. Dolittle series, she had dreamed of Africa — and now, thanks to the encouragement of anthropologist Louis Leakey, she was there, face-to-face with the wild.
