Description


Almost got it… Oh no! Better luck next time. Do you like video games? Online games are my favorite.
我最喜歡玩線上遊戲。

With online games, you can play against gamers from around the world. Some gamers even play on professional e-sports teams.
線上遊戲的玩家可以跟世界各地的玩家對戰,有一些玩家甚至加入職業電競隊伍。

Most e-sports gamers are young. But recently, a new e-sports team was formed in Taiwan. This team is special, because all of its players are over sixty years old.
大多數的電競選手都很年輕,但最近,台灣有一支新成立的電競隊很特別,所有的隊員都超過六十歲。

Mrs. Chiang is one of them. She lives in New Taipei City, and she's 65 years old. A year ago, she knew nothing about computers. She decided to try gaming, and she loved it.
其中一個隊員是蔣太太。她住在新北市,今年六十五歲。一年前,她對電腦一無所知。 她決定試試看打電動,結果她很喜歡。

Now, Mrs. Chiang practices for five hours every week. She says gaming is good for her brain, and especially for the use of her hands. She must think and move quickly to control the game.
現在,蔣太太每一星期練習五個小時。她說玩遊戲對大腦很好,也讓雙手更加靈活。

Recently, she played her first E-sports tournament. Her team did not win, but Mrs. Chiang still didn't give up.
最近她參加了第一場電競比賽。雖然她的隊伍輸了,但是蔣太太不會放棄。

For Mrs. Chiang, gaming is a way to learn about technology and keep her mind sharp. As long as she looks after her eyes and hands, she'll be playing video games for years!
