連續兩篇的燈泡傘，單字太多讓大家很辛苦，
還記得之前提到Virtual Teacher參加了今年的龍舟賽嗎？
今天就來插播Scott的龍舟賽紀錄吧！
One night I was sitting in a café on Roosevelt road with a fellow Canadian sipping a coffee. We’re talking about this and that and how we love Taipei; she mentioned how she loved Dragon Boat. This interested me because I was looking to meet new people, so I inquired. She told me about the team, Cantai, and how it is made up of Canadians living in Taipei. This sounded great to me, so next week there I was under a bridge at 6:00am paddling in a ‘bucket’. We had a few weeks to practice our technique before we could get in the boats and go for a real paddle.
On every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday of the next several weeks I had to wake up at 4:40am to be at Danshui River by 6:00am for practice. Our practices were intense and very tiring; we paddled in all types of weather including the hot sun and heavy rain. Improving almost daily our team became like one big family. As the Dragon Boat Festival approached we became increasingly excited.
(飲酒過量 有害健康)Finally the weekend had arrived. Our first competition! We were all so excited in our red and white uniforms. We jogged a team, stretched as a team and raced as a team. It was an amazing feeling to be working together as one. The excitement built to a climax as we paddled out to the starting area. As we waited to begin we all fell silent, waiting, waiting for instruction.
