Cinco de Mayo光輝五月五 Cinco de Mayo is Spanish for the "Fifth of May," and it is a day to eat, drink, and celebrate the great country of Mexico. Many people believe that Cinco de Mayo is Mexico's Independence Day, but that is not true. In 1862, a Mexican army in Puebla, though greatly outnumbered1, defeated French troops who were invading Mexico. Because of this, Cinco de Mayo is now a day to celebrate overcoming obstacles, no matter how great they are. 　　Interestingly, Cinco de Mayo celebrations were actually started in California, not Mexico. It was reported that the celebrations were held to show rebellion2 against France's eventual occupation of Mexico. Even today, more people celebrate this holiday in the US than in Mexico. The celebrations usually involve feasts and dancing. For Mexican emigrants3 living around the world, Cinco de Mayo is also a time to honor their home country and their heritage4. This May, no matter where you live, take a moment to reflect on the obstacles you have overcome in your life. Then, play some lively music, cook some Mexican food, and enjoy this great holiday!

Strange Ways to Go Green怪怪環保術 There are lots of ideas about how to live greener these days. Some of them are simple, some are more complicated, and some are just totally strange! One strange and somewhat creepy way to be green is called vermicomposting1. Regular composting2 is letting organic waste decompose3 naturally. A lot of our everyday waste is organic material such as food scraps4. Instead of filling up a garbage bag with this kitchen waste, many people choose to compost it. In fact, it is one of the most common ways to be environmentally friendly. 　　So what is vermicomposting? It is composting with a twist. The "vermi" part of vermicomposting refers to worms. These wiggly5 creatures love food scraps and are always eager to eat. They can eat up to half their weight in food every day. When worms digest kitchen waste, they help decrease composting time. The result is rich, organic compost that is great for house plants and gardens. Another bonus of vermicomposting is that it cuts down on the bad smell that is created during regular composting.

Voices of Taiwan熱鬧多元的台灣之聲 Language is more than just what we use to talk to each other. The way we speak expresses who we are, where our ancestors1 came from, and where we are going to in the future. Language is closely connected to culture, which means it is part of our personal identities. Even though Taiwan is merely a small island, many languages are spoken on it. Some are languages in the Chinese language family while others began right here on the island. Together, these languages and others make up the voices of Taiwan.
