師生烏來走讀趣〈The Trip to Wulai〉

815徐婕庭

　　Today (3/31), we went to Wulai. After spending 2 hours taking public transit, we arrived in Wulai.

　　Upon arrival, we first went to the Wulai Bridge. The river was dry at that time. We then visited the Wulai Waterfall, which was thin. After taking a rest, we had a quick dance at the square, and many people watched us.

　　Next, we took the Wulai Flat Car. When I was on the car, the scenery was very beautiful. I don't think it's possible to see this view in the city.

　　Then, we went to Wulai Old Street. The street is very short. I ate wild boar sausage first. The sausage smelled like lemon. Then, I ate bamboo rice. The thing inside the bamboo tasted like rice dumplings. After that, we ate the kiwifruit ice. The ice was large, so I shared it with another classmate. It was perfect to eat on hot days.

　　After taking public transit, we headed back to school.

　　I think this trip was fun and meaningful because I learned a lot about Wulai. I hope we can have a similar activity next time.

「離天空最近的女性」──江秀真女士

　　山，對我們來說，究竟是熟悉的環境？還是陌生的場域呢？

　　我們對於「山」的認知與態度，是因多次聽聞山難意外而敬而遠之？還是躍躍欲試，想一探究竟？

　　台灣第一位登上珠穆朗瑪峰的女性登山家江秀真老師，她的故事不僅收錄於小學課文，秀真老師更為了台灣的「登山教育」四處奔走，走遍全台分享演講；成立山域教育協會，研發登山教育課程；帶著中高齡長輩們，從毫無登山經驗，到最後平安登頂玉山。

　　在江秀真老師的分享中，曾多次提到「挑戰自我」、「堅持夢想」、「團隊合作」、「尊重自然」。她在登山前，做了十足的準備，好比為了挑戰世界最高峰，每天跑步十公里，每週進行三天低氧訓練；在登山過程中，揹著沉重裝備，迎著冷冽寒風，體力與精神不斷消耗，卻能在環境變化莫測之際，保持清醒神智，思考並妥善處理各種風險。

　　她不斷地從團隊中學習，在與隊友的相互陪伴指導、持續溝通交流的登山途中，力行實踐登山知識、熟練登山技巧，並從同行者身上學習到謙卑、忍耐、堅持等種種支持力量。登山經驗，幫助秀真老師更加地了解自己和自己的價值觀。

　　在我們的日常生活中，同樣存在著許多挑戰和困難。我曾遇過的最大挑戰是什麼？我為了這項挑戰，做了哪些準備？而在挑戰過程中，我又嘗試了哪些方法？這些方法我努力了多久才初見效果？我努力的時候，有沒有與我一起奮鬥的好同學、好夥伴？或是在背後有默默地支持著我的師長？

　　4月23日世界閱讀日隔天，中平國中很榮幸地再度邀約到江秀真老師。本場「與作家有約」的行前準備活動將於段考後公告校網與教務處前公告欄，歡迎同學們一起來閱讀學習，藉由挑戰，成長自我！
