別怪台灣沒全英環境，隨時隨地展開Small Talk抓住機會練英文

【國中生帶網紅遊彰化的啟示】

兩位國中生可導覽彰化，我覺得很厲害。回想當年三十出頭的Wilson，也有個機會簡單地向外國人介紹台灣。以下是Wilson的Small Talk經驗，傳播台灣人的友善給來台旅行的外國人：

Wilson在桃園青埔高鐵站等車時，看見一位背著大包行李和好幾小包伴手禮的單獨旅人，金髮藍眼皮膚白皙，猜想是外國人

Wilson: "Wow, that's quite a load you're carrying there! Looks like you've had a great shopping trip. Heading back home?"(哇，你拿了不少東西啊！看來你購物之旅很成功。準備回家了嗎？)

旅人: "Oh, yes! I might have gone a bit overboard with the souvenirs. It's my first time visiting Taiwan."(是的！我可能買了太多紀念品。這是我第一次來台灣。)

Wilson: "First time? That's exciting! I'm Wilson, by the way. How did you like your stay here?"(第一次來？真令人興奮！順便說一下，我叫Wilson。你覺得在這裡的旅程如何？)

旅人: "Nice to meet you, Wilson. I'm Alex. It's been amazing! Everyone's so friendly, and the food is incredible."(很高興認識你，Wilson。我是Alex。太棒了！每個人都很友善，食物也非常美味。)

Wilson: "Glad to hear that! Those packages smell amazing. Did you visit Tamsui by any chance? Their iron eggs are quite famous."(聽到這個我很高興！那些包裹聞起來很香。你有去淡水嗎？那裡的鐵蛋很有名。)

Alex: "Yes, I did! The iron eggs are in one of these bags. How did you guess?"(是的，我去了！鐵蛋就在其中一個袋子裡。你怎麼猜到的？)

Wilson: "Just a hunch! They have a distinctive smell. Since you enjoyed the food so much, do you have a favorite Taiwanese dish?"(只是猜的！它們有一種獨特的氣味。既然你那麼喜歡這裡的食物，你最喜歡哪道台灣菜？)

Alex: "Oh, that's a tough one. But I think I'd have to say 'a-gei'. It's so unique and delicious!"(哦，這個問題很難回答。但我想我會說是阿給。它非常獨特又好吃！)

Wilson: "Ah, a-gei! That's a great choice. It's one of Tamsui's specialties. Did you try it at the famous shop near the Old Street?"(啊，阿給！這是個很棒的選擇。它是淡水的特色小吃之一。你是在老街附近那家有名的店嘗試的嗎？)

Alex: "Yes, I did! The combination of fried tofu stuffed with glass noodles and topped with that special sauce was amazing. I've never had anything like it before."(是的！炸豆腐裡面包著冬粉，上面淋著特製醬料的組合真是太棒了。我以前從來沒吃過這樣的東西。)

Wilson: "I'm glad you enjoyed it. You know, there's an interesting story behind a-gei. It was actually created by accident in the 1950s when a shop owner tried to salvage some spilled glass noodles."(我很高興你喜歡它。你知道嗎？阿給背後其實有個有趣的故事。它實際上是在1950年代意外創造的，當時一個店主想要挽救一些灑出來的冬粉。)

Alex: "Really? That's fascinating! I love how food can have such interesting histories."(真的嗎？太有趣了！我很喜歡食物背後可以有這麼有趣的歷史。)

Wilson: "Absolutely! Speaking of food history, I recommend a great museum called the Taipei Story House that has exhibits on Taiwanese cuisine. It's worth checking out if you're interested in food culture."(沒錯！說到食物歷史，我推薦一個叫做台北故事館的博物館，那裡有關於台灣美食的展覽。如果你對食物文化感興趣的話，值得看看。)
