孩子還在背單字學文法嗎?試試讓孩子用喜歡的主題來學英語吧!對於孩子來說,找到學習動力是非常重要的,因為孩子的注意力時間比大人短,很容易就因為厭倦而不集中了。爸媽此時如果只是在背後鼓勵或獎賞,很容易讓孩子認為學習就等於讓爸媽開心的一種方式!甚至失去了本身的學習意義一起來看趣聞學英語吧!

美國俄勒岡州波特蘭國際機場最近來了一批超萌的「除草隊」──40隻西班牙品種山羊,專門負責牙齒吃光除草機除不到的雜草,並用蹄踩踏機場圍籬邊的黑莓荊棘,一天工作24小時,而負責管理這群山羊的是一頭羊駝。

這批「除草工」屬於波特蘭「山羊動力有限責任公司」(Goat Power LLC),由牧羊女墨菲(Briana Murphy)與一頭羊駝帶領,墨菲受訪時表示,這是第一次接到整理機場的任務。
山羊與墨菲感情非常好,這群超萌部隊工作效率很不錯,作為管理者的羊駝也非常有效率,總共花了3周時間清除5英畝空地。機場環保人員表示,如此一來就不用噴灑化學除草劑了。

以下是英文翻譯:

Oregon Portland International Airport recently received a batch of super cute lawn mowers──40 Spain-breeded goats, responsible for eating weeds the machine can’t weed out, and with hooves treading blackberry bramblethe on the edge of the airport fence. They work 24 hours a day, with an alpaca responsible for managing order. These “weeding workers” belong to Portland Goat Power LLC, led by Shepherdess Briana Murphy and an alpaca. Murphy said that this was the first time she took on the task from the airport. Goats and Murphy are on good terms with each other. The super cute team worked efficiently, spending a total of three weeks clearing five acres of open space. Airport environmental officials said chemical herbicides wouldn’t be needed this way.
