Hello everybody, and welcome to a new episode of News Bites!
I'm Ryan Drillsma…
And I'm Nancy Sun…
In today's news:
A person donates a lot of money, a world first for skateparks, and a singer does a TikTok concert.
All that and more, coming up next.
病人捐贈5百萬元給台灣醫療體系 Patient Donates 5 Million NT to Taiwan Healthcare System
What do we do when we get sick?
We go to see a doctor… or go to a hospital… right?
But have you ever thought… hmm… it's too expensive… maybe I don't need to see a doctor this time.
Fortunately (幸好的), we don't have to do this in Taiwan. Not only is healthcare here very good, it's also very affordable.
台灣的醫療體系不僅品質好而且對民眾來說是負擔得起的。
That's why an online magazine (線上雜誌), called CEO Magazine, said Taiwan has the best healthcare in the world.
And it's why some people donate money (捐款) to help make Taiwan's healthcare even better.
Taiwan's National Health Insurance Administration (健康保險署) - that's the government group that organizes healthcare - has a charity account (捐款帳號) where people can donate money.
It's used to help underprivileged people (貧困的、弱勢群體).
Recently, when one patient (病人) passed away - or died - he donated 5 million NT to the charity account.
The family of the patient said he suffered from a chronic disease.
That meant he was in and out of hospital a lot, and got a lot of treatment.
So he wanted to show his thanks to the service that made his life better.
病人的家人說他罹患慢性病導致多次住院，一直接受治療，所以他想感謝醫療人員改善了他的生命。
He hoped that his money can be used to help others.
What a kind man!
全球第一個多層滑板場 World's First Multi-Story Skate Park
Do you skate?
你會玩滑板嗎?
Yeah, I do! Cowabunga dude!
Isn't that what surfers say?
這不是衝浪者會講的話嗎?
Oops… yeah, you got me. But I do think skateboarding is cool.
Then you might be interested in a cool, new place that's just opened in the U.K.
It's the world's first multi-story skate park (全球第一個多層滑板場).
Multi-story means it has more than one floor, and a skate park is where people skateboard.
I heard about this… It's called F51 and it's located (位於) in a town called Folkstone.
The F51 skate park took more than four years to build and cost over 17 million pounds (英鎊).
But it's no surprise it cost so much, it looks very modern, like a skate park from the future.
It also has the world's first suspended concrete bowls (懸掛式水泥碗池).
People skate up and down concrete bowls and do tricks. These ones are suspended… which means you can see the bottom of them from below.
There are also lots of obstacles people can use for tricks (招式).
F51 isn't just for skaters though.
It was built so BMX riders could use it, too.
F51滑板場也適合小輪車運動者使用。
And there's also a climbing wall (攀岩?) inside the building.
Wow, let's go and check it out some time… Maybe I'll even learn to skate!

卡蜜拉·卡貝羅要在TikTok上分享新歌。
TikTok said it will use special technology (特殊的技術) to put visual effects (視覺效果) into the performance.
It's going to happen on April 7th.
Camila is not the first artist to do an online concert with special visual effects.
Ed Sheeran did one on Pokemon Go! Last year.
And Lil Nas X performed on Roblox.
The way we watch our favorite artists is definitely changing!
觀看演唱會的方式越來越多元化。
