Do you have a smart speaker at home? Yes, I have a smart speaker Siri in my phone. What is a smart speaker? Smart speaker is  like the Google Assistant, Amazon's Alexa or Apple's Siri, which you  can ask it all sorts of questions. How does a smart speaker work? You just give it a voice command and it does what you want.

#4 Transport system here in Taiwan

In Taipei, there's many choices to travel, such as bus, train, MRT, and Ubike. In other cities, the transport systems are not mature,so we need to ride a car or motorcycle, and I enjoy to ride a motorcycle, but I think it is not friendly to ride a motorbike in Taiwan, because of the road design that make the road so narrow, besides, cars just pull over on the motorcycle lanes that block motorcycles. Also, the two-stage left, I think this is not a good idea to reduce the accident rate, maybe there's a better solutions like diversion, for example, the "turn left only" traffic light. At last, I think there's still a long way to go for transport system in Taiwan.
