Some insects mostly use their legs to push off and fly. Scientists found that mosquitos mostly use their wing power to push off. This means humans can’t feel them.
Can fish also get depressed? Scientists said that you can put a fish in a new tank, wait five minutes and know the answer. If the fish hangs around in the bottom half, it means that it is depressed. If it swims around in the top half, then it is not. Scientists say fish get depressed if there are not many new or interesting things in their environment.

language. Singapore has already done this. Is this a good idea for Taiwan? It could help a lot if everyone was speaking more English instead of just the foreigners you meet. It would also make Taiwan more attractive to English speaking tourists and business people.
