Hello, I am Rian.
Hello, I am Carl.
Welcome to Hot English Classroom.
Carl, the King Boat Festival taking place in Tainan
is a grand event, isn’t it?
Yes! This year is Tainan’s Temple Festivals Year,
which takes place once every three years.
There are many celebration events across the city.
Are there celebration events in other districts besides Anding?
Yes! Sigang’s Incense-questing is a national folk activity,
you must not miss!
The incense-questing event in Sigang has been passed down
from generation to generation for over 100 years,
many traditional art parades (yijeng) will participate in the event.
Their performance is definitely worth seeing.
Traditional art parades?
Exactly!
Some of the famous parades include Songjiang,
White Crane, and Golden Lion.
I’ve seen Songjiang parades before,
but I have no idea what White Crane parades are!
Then you must not miss Sigang’s Incense-questing this year.
OK! Are there any famous dishes in Sigang?
Of course!
You must try dishes made
with sesame oil in Sigang!
There is a restaurant that was originally a barn.
There you can taste many kinds of Taiwanese cuisine,
such as sesame oil chicken soup
and chicken soup with peeled chili pepper.
Sounds like it’s a specialty restaurant.
Yeah! It’s one of those happy little things
to experience farm life.
So we can see farming spectacles in Sigang?
Indeed! What’s interesting about Sigang
is that it boasts both superior produces
and unique handicrafts.
What are they?
For example, there are grass mats
and handbags made by rush.
They have a special fragrance.
Oh! Then I definitely have to check it out.
Let’s take a look at the key words today.
Let’s do it!
Have you remembered them all?
I’ve got them all remembered.
