50元「爆米花裝到滿」 人人出奇招

Kaohsiung Theater Offers "Pop"ular Deal

When you think of movie theaters, you probably also think of popcorn.

It's a delicious part of the fun of going out to see a movie.

One movie theater in Kaohsiung came up with a special popcorn deal.

The theater said it would give customers (顧客) all the popcorn they could carry for just 50 NT.

The customers need to buy two movie tickets, then pay another 50 NT, and bring something to put the popcorn in.

客人只要買2張電影票加價50元就可以用自己準備的「容器」把爆米花裝到滿。

Many customers came.

And they enjoyed the popcorn.

But there were also a few surprises!

Some people came with a big pot (大鍋子).

Another person came with a bucket (水桶).

One family came with 8 people, and each person carried a big box.

They said they would take the popcorn to their children's school, to share with other students.

But the biggest surprise of all, was much bigger than a box or a bucket.

Three young men came for the special popcorn deal, with a really big container (容器).

The container was bigger than a bathtub!

They said the container could hold 1,600 liters.

That's roughly more than 6,600 cups of water!

It took workers at the movie theater almost 2 hours to make enough popcorn to fill the container.

Then the young men took all the popcorn to the Pier-2 Art Center.

And they gave away the popcorn for free.

日本球迷和球員賽後自主清理環境

Japan Team and Fans Clean Up at World Cup

Most of the time, to "clean up" is to make something clean and neat again.

Sometimes, "clean up" in casual English also means to win.

And Team Japan did a little bit of both at the World Cup in Qatar.

After winning a game against Germany, the players from Japan cleaned up their locker room (更衣室).

They folded all the towels.

They put the leftover food (吃剩的食物) neatly on the table.

They folded some paper cranes.

And they left a note.

It said "thank you" in Arabic and Japanese.

日本隊在比賽結束後，把休息室整理的乾乾淨淨，放了摺好的紙鶴，還用阿拉伯文和日文寫下「謝謝」的感人字條。

And Japanese fans also cleaned up.

After the game ended, the fans took out big garbage bags.

And they picked up the empty bottles, paper cups, and other trash around the seats.

Japan lost its chance to win the World Cup after it lost to Croatia.

But many people praised (讚賞) Japan's soccer team and their fans.

Some of the people who cleaned up say it's showing respect (尊重) for a place.

They say they would like to leave a place cleaner than before.

And it seems fans from other countries are following this example.

Some people say fans from Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and other countries have also started cleaning up after games too.
