Main Body

Europe is very hot now. The FIA has a special rule for hot weather. Teams must put cooling systems in the cars. These systems use cold liquid to keep drivers cool.

現在歐洲非常炎熱。FIA 有一項針對高溫天氣的特別規則。車隊必須在車內安裝冷卻系統。這些系統使用冷卻液來為車手降溫。

Some drivers like the cooling vests. Other drivers do not like them because the cars feel too small. If a driver does not use the vest, they must carry 5 kilograms of extra weight. This makes the race fair for everyone.

有些車手喜歡冷卻背心。但有些車手不喜歡,因為覺得車內空間太小。如果車手不使用背心,他們必須承擔 5 公斤的額外重量。這樣做是為了確保比賽對每個人都公平。

Cars get very hot when they stop. The temperature inside the car can be more than 40 degrees Celsius. Drivers exercise and train in hot places to get ready.

賽車在停止時會變得非常炎熱。車內溫度可能會超過 40 攝氏度。車手會在高溫環境中運動和訓練,以做好準備。

Conclusion

Practice is on Friday. Qualifying is on Saturday. The big race is on Sunday.

週五是練習賽。週六是排位賽。週日則是正賽。

🌡️ Speaking about the Weather & Feelings

The 'Very' Trick In the text, we see: "very hot". Use very before a word to make it stronger.

  • Hot \rightarrow Very hot
  • Cold \rightarrow Very cold
  • Small \rightarrow Very small

Opposites in the Race Notice how the text compares two groups:

  1. Some drivers like the vests \checkmark
  2. Other drivers do not like them ×\times

Pattern: Some [people] like... \rightarrow Others do not like...


Time Words (The Schedule) Look at the end of the text. We use simple days to show when things happen:

  • Friday \rightarrow Practice
  • Saturday \rightarrow Qualifying
  • Sunday \rightarrow Race

Tip: Always use a Capital Letter for days of the week (Monday, Tuesday, etc.).
