翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Lately, it seems that drink shops on the street have all launched lots of mango products. It looks like mango season has started.
Huahua: Summer is for eating mangoes. Taiwanese mangoes are really sweet and delicious. Just thinking about them makes my mouth water.
Qingqing: Yes. Taiwan has many varieties of mangoes, each with its own special characteristics. Irwin mangoes are especially sweet, and native mangoes are both sour and sweet. Jinhuang mangoes, which are very fragrant, are also very popular.
Huahua: I heard from a small farmer who grows mangoes that the main mango-producing areas in Taiwan are Tainan and Pingtung. Is that right?
Qingqing: Yes, the main production areas are Tainan, Pingtung and Kaohsiung. Mangoes are also grown in Chiayi, Taitung and Changhua. Just one trip to a Tainan market and you can find many different varieties.
Huahua: If I get the chance, I’d really like to go to Tainan soon to eat a bowl of sweet, refreshing mango shaved ice.
Qingqing: Now, many shops are selling mango shaved ice—you don’t even have to go to Tainan to enjoy it. This mango season, lots of stores are offering buy-one-get-one-free promotions.
Huahua: Then let’s get a group together after work and go have some mango shaved ice.

Alan Turing, celebrated as the “father of computer science,” was a brilliant mathematician and scientist. Born in London in 1912, Turing showed exceptional talent in mathematics and science from a young age. At 16, he understood Albert Einstein’s work without difficulty. This intelligence carried him through studies at Cambridge University and later at Princeton University in the US, where he further explored complex mathematical theories. In 1936, Turing introduced the concept of the Turing machine, a theoretical device for solving mathematical problems. He described it as having an infinite tape on which symbols could be read, interpreted, and modified. With simple
Denmark’s state-run postal service, PostNord, announced that it would cease letter deliveries at the end of 2025 due to the impact of digitalization.

As a result, PostNord is switching
