Narrator: Once upon a time, in a big forest, there was a Tortoise and a Hare.

 

Tortoise: (Slowly) Hi there, Hare. Want to race?

 

Hare: (Laughing) Race? With you? You're too slow, Tortoise!

 

Narrator: The Hare was very fast and loved to show off.

 

Tortoise: (Calmly) Well, let's see who wins.

 

Hare: (Confidently) Alright, Tortoise. Let's race tomorrow!

 

Narrator: The next day, all the animals gathered to watch the race.

 

Tortoise: (Ready) I might be slow, but I'll keep going.

 

Narrator: The race began, and the Hare zoomed ahead.

 

Hare: (Mocking) See you at the finish line, Tortoise!

 

Narrator: The Tortoise walked slowly and steadily.

 

Tortoise: (Focused) I won't stop. Slow and steady wins the race.

 

Narrator: The Hare was so confident that it decided to take a nap.


Hare: (Yawning) Wake me up when the Tortoise is almost done.


Hare: (Sleeping) A quick nap won't hurt.

Narrator: Meanwhile, the Tortoise kept moving forward.

 

Tortoise: (Persistently) One step at a time.

 

Narrator: When the Hare woke up, it was surprised.

 

Hare: (Panicking) Oh no! I slept too long!

 

Narrator: The Tortoise was near the finish line.

 

Tortoise: (Calmly) I'm almost there.

 

Narrator: The Hare sprinted as fast as it could, but it was too late.

 

Tortoise: (Crossing the finish line) I did it!

 

Narrator: The Tortoise had won the race!

 

Hare: (Breathing heavily) Congratulations, Tortoise. You were right. Slow and steady does win.

 

Narrator: From that day on, the animals learned that it's not just speed that matters, but also determination.

 

Tortoise: (Smiling) Remember, slow and steady wins the race.

 

Narrator: And they all lived happily, knowing that every step forward counts.

 

(All characters gather and take a bow)

 

Narrator: The end.

    個人思考紀錄於2024年10月15日 【龜兔賽跑】 有一天,烏龜和兔子在聊天,不知不覺說到誰跑得比較快,於是兔子便邀約烏龜比賽跑步。 一開始,兔子大幅領先烏龜,但不久後,兔子便開始輕敵,認為即使小睡一下,烏龜仍追趕不上牠,便到路邊睡覺。
    我印象最深刻的一文:兔子🐰賽跑又輸了☹️ 裡面在講說: 兔子嘲笑🤣刺蝟🦔的彎腿,所以他們決定明天一早🌄到兔子家前面的田裡賽跑。由於兔子分不清楚誰是刺蝟太太🦔誰是刺蝟🦔。比賽一開始,兔子一跑出去而刺蝟一動也不動,當兔子快到終點的時候,刺蝟太太靠著計謀站在終點說:「我贏了!🏆」兔子覺得

    看完這篇文章讓我想到龜兔賽跑的故事!因為兔子太驕傲自以為自己一定會贏,於是跑很快很快,跑到一半時發覺烏龜還沒追上來,於是放心的在樹下睡大頭覺,兔子心想等到牠睡起來烏龜一定還沒到的,當然烏龜很努力沒有放棄的走,因為烏龜的努力,他拿到了第一名。給我們的啟示是:太過驕傲反而會失敗,我們要學習烏龜的精神,努

      超慢跑顧名思義就是跑得超級慢,時速大約和走路的時速差不多,每公里大約在十到十五分鐘左右完成。換言之,跑了一個小時大概可以前進五公里左右。這樣看來,就是用跑步的姿勢來進行走路。雖然兩者的姿勢有所差別,但卻可以達到相同的時速。跑步的姿勢是膝蓋彎曲,然後往前踏時是腳尖先著地,再來是後腳跟;而走
