        這周是我們第一次參與文建站的活動，我和Annabelle見到了李金妹、李金蘭阿嬤兩姊妹，還有何秀妹阿嬤。金蘭阿嬤的五官深邃，總覺得看起來有點酷；金妹阿嬤看起來很聰明，而且相當健談，說話很有條理；秀妹阿嬤則是非常的活潑可愛，說話有很多生動的小動作。

This display of precaution demonstrates how Newark is resilient to incoming storms during hurricane seasons.

By holding people accountable, Newark is changing its vulnerability towards water contamination
