Bicycle Race
She Wins!
Hi everybody! You know … I really like my bicycle!
I think bicycles are amazing! Bicycles are easy, fun, good for you, and good
for the air! No pollution! 騎車不會有空氣汙染的問題 I ride my bicycle, um,
everywhere! I ride my bicycle to go shopping, to the park, to meet my
friends, but I’m not a bicycle race winner! (laughs) Nope. I’m not like
Fiona!
Fiona is a young woman from Germany, and she won a super hard bicycle race!
She rode her bicycle a long way! 她是個年輕德國女生 .
Can you imagine riding your bicycle from Taipei to Kaohsiung? That’s pretty
far, right? 從台北騎到高雄？很遠，對吧？
Well, Fiona rode her bicycle from Bulgaria to France… that’s like riding
from Taipei to Kaohsiung …(said ever-increasingly fast:
Taipei-to-Kaohsiung-Kaohsiung-to-Taipei-Taipei-to-Kaohsiung-Kaoshiung-to-Taipei)…wow…eleven
times! 天啊！要台北高雄來回五趟半耶！
Fiona won the race! She rode for more than 10 days! Riding her bicycle in the
rain, in the hot sun, at night, in the daytime, over mountains. Woah! That is
one hard race.
Fiona was smart and strong! She only slept for four hours every night – and
then she kept on riding … for 10 days! 10天比賽中她每天只睡4小時 Woah! I
could never do that!
In the end, Fiona was number one! She is only 24 years old, but Fiona is now
the first woman to win this really super hard bicycle race. She was faster
than all the young men in the race! Pretty cool, huh?
Fiona is going to try again … she wants to win again … and she wants to
ride even faster!
Wow! Fiona is such a strong and smart young woman! You’re awesome, Fiona!
加油 !
