I am Duncan. Welcome to our English story time.  The weather is getting warmer and spring is approaching! Basetball season is finally here![Script]In Taiwan, we love baseball. It is our national sport. Last night was the first game of the season, and I was so excited. I want to tell you about the feeling of a baseball stadium. First, when you walk in, you smell the food. You smell popcorn, grilled sausages, and cold drinks. Then, you see the grass. The grass is so green and perfectly cut. It looks like a carpet.I remember my first baseball game when I was a kid. I had a big leather glove. I waited and waited, hoping for a 'foul ball' to fly into my hands. I didn't catch a ball that day, but I fell in love with the game.Why do we love baseball? I think it’s because of the tension. The pitcher stands on the mound. He looks at the batter. Everything is quiet. Then... whoosh! He throws a fastball at 150 kilometers per hour! The batter swings, and the crowd goes wild.Do you play baseball? Or maybe you like the CPBL (Chinese Professional Baseball League)? My favorite part of the game in Taiwan is the cheering. The fans dance, they sing, and they bang drums. It’s like a big party. If you are feeling bored this week, go watch a game. It is the best way to spend a spring afternoon.\"OUTRO:That is the end of our story. Good job!Now, can you answer the three questions? Listen again if you need to.__________________________________________________Comprehension Questions (English & Traditional Chinese)What are the two smells the teacher mentions at the stadium?老師在球場提到了哪兩種氣味？What did the teacher hope to catch when he was a kid?老師小時候希望能接到什麼？What is the teacher's favorite part of a baseball game in Taiwan?老師最喜歡台灣棒球比賽的哪個部分？________________________________________________Vocabulary Highlights:Stadium - A large building where people watch sports.
