There's a fun new team sport! It's reading!
有一些人喜歡自己去運動，像是慢跑或去健身房。有一些人喜歡團隊運動，像是棒球或籃球。但現在有一種新的團隊運動，就是閱讀！
At some schools, students can make teams. The teams read 10 books to get ready for a game. They talk about the books. Who are the writers? What are the names of the books? What are the books about? Who are the people in the books? Students study the books. Then the teams are ready.
學生可以組隊，一起閱讀十本書。然後討論作者、書名、書的內容、角色等等。
The teams play against other teams at their school. The winners play against teams from other schools.
One team played against another school's team. Their families, friends, and other students were watching. The teams answered 20 questions. But there was no winner yet!
校內比賽的贏家會跟其他的學校比賽，家人朋友都來看比賽！但是回答了 20 題，贏家還沒有出爐。
The teams answered eight more questions. They gave good answers again and again! Which team was going to win the game?
比賽隊伍又回答了 8 題，通通答對了，到底最後會獎落誰家？
Then… there was a winner!
Reading on a team and playing against other teams is fun! Could reading be a sport in Taiwan?
