Hi, I am Rian.
-
Hello, I am Carl.
-
Welcome to Hot English Classroom.
-
Carl. When it comes to Rende District, Tainan City,
-
what comes to your mind?
-
I think of the magnificent Chimei Museum.
-
I see it every time I drive down the expressway
-
passing by Rende District.
-
It's a really popular spot in Tainan City.
-
Almost every tourist goes there.
-
Yes, the collections are very rich.
-
There are also often special exhibitions with various themes.
-
Every once in a while, I get the urge to visit this museum again.
-
Well, it's not just the Chimei Museum.
-
There are several museums worth visiting in Rende District.
-
Really?
-
What are they?
-
One is on the second floor of the Chelucian Church.
-
It's the only holocaust museum
-
in Taiwan.
-
It displays artifacts and photographs that tell us the painful story
-
of Jews murdered by Nazis during World War II.
-
That's a sad part of history.
-
But I didn't expect such a memorial in Taiwan.
-
Yup.
-
There is also a rare furniture museum in Rende District.
-
A furniture museum?
-
What kind of place is it?
-
It's a museum
-
run by a local furniture manufacturer in Tainan City.
-
Besides exhibiting furniture from different periods in history,
-
it also introduces traditional furniture-making techniques.
-
Do you mean techniques like using a mortise and tenon joint
-
that can be put together without nails?
-
That's right.
-
If you're interested,
-
the museum also has a woodworking class
-
that can teach you woodworking skills.
-
I didn't know there were so many
-
in-depth and informative museums in Rende District!
-
You'll definitely get a lot out of it!
-
Let's review today's vocabulary!
-
Let's review!
-
Have you got them all?
-
I've got them all remembered.
