So happy to be here with you today.Friends, today we're talking about something really important for English learners.Yes, our topic is how to never forget English words.We'll share five easy, fun tips that actually work.No boring grammar, I promise. Just practical ways you can use every day.So, grab your water, relax, and let's dive in.Many of our listeners tell us the same problem.What is it?They say, "I learn a new English word today and tomorrow, poof, it's gone."Oh, yes. This happens to so many people, right?Exactly. You spend time studying, but the words just disappear from your mind.It's tiring. You feel like, "Why can't I remember? Am I lazy? Is my memory bad?"But here's the truth. It's not because you're lazy. It's because of how your brain naturally works.Right? Our brain is like a busy street. Imagine you walk down the street and see a stranger for just one second. Tomorrow, do you remember their face?Of course not. But if you meet that person again and again, maybe you talk to them, spend time togetherThen that person becomes your friend and you never forget your friends.Yes, vocabulary is exactly the same. A word you see only once is a stranger. A word you use many times becomes your friend.So why do we forget words so fast? Scientists say our brain forgets new information very quickly if we don't review it.How quickly?After one day, we forget about half of what we learned. After one week, we forget almost everything.Wow. So, if I learn 10 new words today, maybe next week I only remember two.Exactly. But here's the good news.There's good news.If you see and use a word many times, your brain says, "Oh, this is important. I should remember this." Then the brain saves it in long-term memory.So, it's like training your brain. And today, we'll show you exactly how to do that.We'll share five simple but powerful methods to make words stick in your mind forever. Shall we start with the first one?Let's go.Method 1: Use New Words in Your Own SentencesAll right. Here's method number one. Use new words in your own sentences. This might sound simple, but it's actually super powerful. Do you know why?Because learning just the meaning of a word is not enough.Right.If you only know the translation, your brain will forget it quickly. It's like knowing someone's name but never actually talking to them. You forget fast.Exactly. But if you use the word in sentences, your brain sees the word in action and that's how memory becomes strong.So, here's the rule. For every new word, make at least three different sentences.And these sentences should be from different contexts like school, family, work, or friends.Let's try an example. Let's use the wordcook.Good idea. For example, first sentence,I cook dinner for my family.Second sentence could be,"My mom cooks a very delicious soup."And for the last one, h let'scooktogether on Sunday.Nice. Now we see the wordcookwith family, with mom, and with friends. When the brain sees a word in many situations, it understands this word is useful in real life. I need to keep it. It's like watching your friend in school, in the park, and in the cafe. You know them better.Wow, that's a big difference.Yes, because the brain learns through use.I'm so excited about this method.

Something just doesn't feel right anymore.Something doesn't feel right anymore. What do you mean?I feel stuck. Every day is the same: I wake up, rush to work, sit in front of the computer for eight hours, come home, eat dinner, watch TV, go to sleep, and do it all again the next day.I see. That's life, isn't it?Maybe. But I feel like I'm just surviving, not living. I'm tired.Let's talk about it. Tell me what your day is like, David. Maybe if you talk about it, you'll see what's really bothering you.Okay, maybe. Every morning my alarm rings at 6:30. I get up, brush my teeth, take a shower, and drink coffee while checking emails on my phone. I have to do it. I barely talk to you because I'm already thinking about work. Then I drive through traffic for almost an hour. When I finally get to the office, it's the same thing every day: meetings, reports, calls, deadlines. Everyone looks tired, like robots. At noon, I eat lunch at my desk—a sandwich or fast food—and keep working. At 6:00 p.m., I leave, drive back home in traffic again, and by the time I get here, I'm exhausted. I eat dinner, maybe watch a movie, and go to bed around 11. That's it. It starts again the next morning.That sounds really hard. I think I understand you now. But it's what most people do, right? Work, earn money, build a future.I know, but I feel empty. I don't see a future here. I just see the same week repeated 52 times a year.I see. So, what are you thinking?I think I'm not going to work today.What? Are you serious? You're not going to work today?I've been thinking about this for months, Laura. I have a business idea—something I really believe in.A business? You never told me about it. What kind of idea?I'll tell you about it now. Remember how I love photography? I've been studying marketing, editing, and social media. I want to start my own creative studio: photos, videos, and branding for small businesses.That's interesting, but it's a big step, David. You have a stable job. Are you really sure you want to quit?To be honest, no, I'm not completely sure about quitting, but I am sure of one thing: I'm not happy like this.I understand that. But what if it doesn't work? What if the money isn't enough? What are you going to do?Then I'll try again. I'll learn, adjust, and keep going. I'd rather fail trying to live than succeed living someone else's routine.So, what will your new days look like if you quit your job?Oh, I've imagined it many times. I could wake up at 6:30, not because of an alarm, but because I want to make coffee for both of us. Take a few minutes to stretch, breathe, and maybe read something inspiring. Then I'd work on my own projects: editing photos, planning shoots, meeting clients who are passionate like me. I'd control my time. I'd have lunch with you, not in front of a screen. Maybe take a walk after—I've always wanted to do that. In the afternoon, I'd finish work early. I wouldn't work until very late anymore. I'd have time to cook dinner, exercise, or just relax. It could still be hard work, but it would be my work—our dream.That does sound nice. Just one thing: Are you sure that this routine will make you happy forever?No, not forever. That's the routine I want until we reach our goals. I know we have to work hard to get it. Then we could relax. After we reach those goals, what's your dream routine then? How do you imagine it?

获取全部文本资料公众号搜索：yymaster888Hey everyone and a warm welcome back to a new episode. I'm WilliamAnd I'm Kelly. So today we want to ask you all a question. Have you ever thought about actively improving your personality?Absolutely. I think a lot of us want to build a stronger, more charismatic personality. We often get inspiration from others like a favorite actor or actress and we see qualities in them that we admire.That's a great point, William. And it doesn't have to be an actor. It could be anyone. A successful business leader, an author, even a family member. We see these people who seem to have it all together and we think, "I want some of that."Exactly. We admire their confidence, their communication skills, their presence. But the tricky part is we often don't know how to bridge that gap. We see the finished product, but not the work that went into it.Which is exactly what we're going to dive into today. Let's talk about how we can actually become that person we admire. Starting with the first most crucial step.So, Kelly, the first thing I would say is self-awareness. You cannot change what you are not aware of. It is the absolute bedrock of all personality development.I completely agree. Self-awareness is like looking in a mirror before a makeover. You have to honestly see your current traits and habits before you can decide what to improve. So if you want to be a confident person, you first have to notice what makes you feel insecure, right? It's about identifying that gap.Exactly. A great way to start is by asking yourself one simple question at the end of the day: "When did I feel truly confident and when did I feel unsure?"That's a powerful practice. It immediately highlights your patterns and that self-knowledge is your most powerful tool for growth.I totally agree with this. You know, Kelly, that reminds me of a girl I knew in college. She was incredibly shy and had almost no confidence. And it all seemed to stem from her face.From her face? What do you mean?Yes. She was convinced she was ugly. She thought her features weren't right. She'd always hide behind her hair, never made eye contact. She spent all her time alone in the library. She literally had no friends.Oh, now I get you. That sounds so painful.It was. And the real tragedy was that she was one of the kindest, most talented people. She wrote beautiful poetry, but no one knew because she was hiding all of it.So, what changed? How did she overcome it?It started with self-awareness. Just like we said, she realized her thoughts were her biggest barrier. One day she made a simple but powerful decision to stop saying "I'm ugly" and replace it with "I am capable." She focused on her talent, not her perceived flaw.That shift is everything.It is. She started a small blog for her poetry anonymously at first. The positive feedback she received had nothing to do with her face. It was all about her mind and her words. That gave her the first real spark of confidence. So by focusing on her strength, she built a new identity for herself.Exactly. The girl who hid behind her hair started looking people in the eye. She found her voice and then she found her friends. She didn't change her face, she changed her focus.What a perfect example. It proves that the first step to changing your life is changing the story you tell yourself.

It always feels special to sit down and talk with you.Thanks, Leo. And today we have a fun and useful topic. We're going to learn how to talk about weekends in English, especially weekends for single people.Ah, single life. You can sleep late, eat whatever you want, and enjoy your time.Yes, we'll share our own weekend soon. But before that, remember to subscribe to our channel so you can learn more English with us.Your support keeps us going and gives us energy to make more videos.Now, let's get ready. Find a comfortable place. Take a deep breath and relax.Take one more deep breath. And don't worry if your English is not perfect. Mistakes are normal.We are always here to help you and practice together.Exactly. Every mistake helps you learn something new. Try to speak out loud with us, even if it's just a few simple words.All right, now let's begin our journey into weekend stories and have some fun while learning English together.Hey Gwen, after a busy week of work and school, you are happy to wait for the weekend, right?Yes, of course. The weekend feels like a small holiday. I always wait for it.Me too. From Monday to Friday, life feels busy and a little stressful. But when I think about Saturday and Sunday, I feel happy.Exactly. The weekend gives us time to rest, to breathe, and to enjoy life a little more.And it's not only about rest. The weekend also means freedom. You don't need to follow a busy plan.Yes, that's true. On weekdays, we have school, work, and meetings. But on weekends, we can choose what we want to do or even do nothing at all.I think that's why many people wait for Friday.Yeah. On Friday evening, many people feel happy because tomorrow is Saturday.And when the weekend comes, even simple things can make me feel better,like drinking tea slowly, reading a few pages of a book, or just waking up late.So when we talk about weekends in English, it's not only about what we do, it's also about the feeling, waiting for it, resting, and being free.That's right. And that is why weekend is such a good topic for English practice. Everyone has something to say about them.Okay, let's share what we did last weekend. And remember, we will use the past simple tense. So, Gwen, what did you do?My weekend was pretty quiet. On Saturday morning, I went to a cafe near my house and read a book. It felt so relaxing.That sounds good. Did you have coffee there alone or with friends?Just by myself. I sat by the window, listened to music, and enjoyed the moment.Great. Did you stay out the whole day?No, not really. Sometimes I had lunch with my parents. We ate together at a small restaurant. It felt nice to spend time with them after a busy week. In the afternoon, I watched a series on Netflix at home. And in the evening, I called my best friend. We talked about work, family, and even made some travel plans for next month.Oh, so your weekend was calm with some time for yourself and also some time for your family.Yes, that's right. What about you, Leo?Well, my weekend was more active. On Saturday, I went hiking with my friends. The weather was sunny and the air was fresh. It was fun, but my legs were so hurt after that.You always need some movement, right?Yeah, that's me. I like being outside. And in the evening, I went on a dinner date at a restaurant.Wow, sounds nice. Did you enjoy the food?Yes, it was delicious. I ate pasta and salad. On Sunday morning, I went to church with my family. Later that day, I played online games with my friends.So, my weekend was more relaxing and yours was more social and active, but we both spent time with family. That is lovely.Exactly. Weekends can be very different for everyone and that's totally fine.A weekend is a special time to rest after a busy week of study and work. There are so many activities we can do. Reading, cooking, meeting friends, or even traveling.Yes. And sometimes doing nothing is also nice. You can just say, "I stayed at home and relaxed."That's true. I slept a lot and watched TV. Both are also good weekend activities.What about you, our friends? What did you do last weekend? Did you do something fun or something relaxing?Yeah. Did you spend time with your family or meet your friends? We want to know about your weekend, too.Please share your weekend in the comments. It's a great way to practice your English.Don't be shy. Even one simple sentence is good practice. You can write, "I watched a movie" or "I visited my parents."And if you're not sure how to talk about your weekend in English, don't worry. We will share some useful words and phrases with you in the next part.So stay with us and keep practicing little by little.Yes, even five minutes of practice every day can make a big difference.Okay, maybe you're thinking, "My weekend is not like yours. What can I say then?" No problem. We have many common activities and useful phrases for you. Everyone's weekend is different, but we can still talk about them easily in English.That's right. Think about the things you usually do on weekends. Now, we will show you lots of useful words and examples. First, let's talk about me time. Me time means the time you give to yourself.Only you. No work, no school, no meetings, no stress. Just quiet time for your body and your mind.

获取全部文本资料公众号搜索：yymaster888All right, son. I'm here. You told me you wanted to talk to me.Yes, Dad. I'm sorry to bother you. I know you have to go to work.What are you talking about? You are my son. I will always have time for you. Now tell me, what do you want to talk about with me? I'm sure it's important.Well, nothing serious. In fact, I feel a little ashamed. I don't know whether to tell you.Oh, come on. Whatever it is, I want to hear it. Okay, just tell me.Well, um, thank you. Um, there is someone in the school.It is a girl, right? That's what you want to tell me. You want to tell me that you have a girlfriend?No. I mean, no yet. There is a girl I like a lot, but she's not my girlfriend. She's my friend. Her name is Anna. She's so beautiful. I like her a lot.Oh, I see. Then what is the problem? Tell her that you like her. I know you're not a child anymore. You're a teenager. It is normal you like girls. If you're asking for my permission, you have my complete trust. Just bring her home when she's your girlfriend. I am sure your mother would like to know her. And of course, me too. My son.That is the problem. That I like her a lot and I want her to be my girlfriend, but I don't know. I don't know how to tell her that I like her. It's the first time I will do something like that. I don't know if she feels as I do. Maybe she doesn't like me. What can I do?Advice from DadAll right, I understand. Don't worry. I will help you, my son. Telling a girl you like her sounds simple, but actually doing it can be nerve-wracking. I will tell you a few ways you can express your emotions.Drop some hints: Give her a few compliments. Yeah, give her a few compliments about her outfit or her nice laugh. It really works.Tell her about a pretty flower you saw that made you think of her at the park today.If you give enough hints as to how you're feeling, she'll be better prepared for when you tell her you like her.You can try saying some things like, "I saw a gorgeous rose on my walk earlier today. It made me think of you." Or, "You have the best smile I ever seen." Try to pay attention to how she reacts to these compliments.Do you really think that can work? How will I know she likes what I'm saying?Well, if she smiles and laughs, it's a good sign. Now, you can also set a deadline for yourself. It will give you the motivation you need. If you've been thinking about this girl for a while, try setting a deadline for when you're going to tell her that you like her. It doesn't have to be immediately, but it should be within the next few weeks at least. It is not good idea to let too much time pass.Pump yourself up first. Remind yourself of how awesome you are for a confidence boost. You could write a list or just say things out loud to yourself. You don't have to get cocky, but try saying things like, "This is going to go well. Even if she doesn't like me back, I'll feel better after I've said it."Oh, this is very important. Please tell her in person if possible. Don't just text her. Try to approach her when she's alone and not busy. You told me you are friends and that's good. You can suggest hanging out one-on-one. You don't have to be completely isolated, but try not to confess your feelings around a group of friends. It is not a good idea. Try going for a walk in the park or meeting up in the food court at the mall. You could say something like, "Hey, do you want to hang out after school today?" Don't say, "I need to talk to you." She might think you have something bad to say. It happened to me.

获取全部文本资料公众号搜索：yymaster888Hello everyone. Welcome back to another exciting episode of our podcast.Hi friends, I'm your host Jessica. Now Robinson, let me ask you something. Have you ever spent years learning English, mastered the grammar, and can read a whole book, but then the moment someone greets you with hello, your mind just goes completely blank?Oh, absolutely. That used to happen to me all the time when I was learning English. But why do you bring this up?Well, today we're going to break down the real reasons you're struggling with speaking and exactly what you can do to fix them.But how, Jessica? Could you please tell us?First off, let's dive into the core reasons why so many people struggle with speaking English. The first big hurdle is what I like to call the fear and mindset block.That sounds interesting. Can you elaborate on that?Absolutely. One major component of this block is the perfectionism trap. Many learners have this overwhelming desire to speak perfectly right from the start. They fear making mistakes or sounding silly, and that's completely understandable.I get that. I used to feel like I had to eliminate every single mistake before I could even try to speak.Exactly. But here's the thing. That kind of fear can paralyze you. The truth is, effective communication is way more important than speaking flawlessly. Even native speakers make mistakes all the time.So, it's okay to mess up.Absolutely. Making mistakes is part of the learning process. It helps you improve and become a more confident speaker. Now, the second aspect of this mindset block is what I call the FBI interrogation feeling.That sounds intense. What do you mean by that?Well, many learners feel like the entire conversation depends on them and they're being judged continuously. This pressure can lead to anxiety that makes it hard to engage in a natural chat. It's crucial to shift your goal from trying to impress others to simply connecting with them.That's a great point. Instead of worrying about what others think, we should focus on just enjoying the conversation.Exactly. Now, let's move on to the second part, the practice gap. Many learners spend years absorbing English through reading or listening, but spend very little time actually producing it, like speaking or writing.That's a great analogy. It's like reading a manual on how to drive, but never actually getting behind the wheel.Yes, precisely. Speaking is a physical skill, much like driving. You can only get better by practicing. Another thing to consider is the difference between passive and active learning. Watching Netflix with subtitles is passive, but summarizing what you just watched out loud, that's active learning.I see. Engaging actively helps reinforce the concepts we've learned.Exactly. And which brings us to the final issue, the knowledge application problem. Many people understand grammar rules and vocabulary, but when it comes time to apply that knowledge in conversation, they freeze up.That's so true. I sometimes know what I want to say in my head but can't get the words out when speaking.Right? It's essential to practice applying what you know in real life situations. So don't be afraid to speak, make mistakes, and actively engage with the language.I love that. Those are some practical tips. I think it's all about changing our approach and mindset.So those are some practical tips, but let's talk about another big hurdle: unrealistic expectations and environment.Right. It can be so discouraging when learners compare themselves to bilingual or native speakers.Exactly. That can really demotivate you. Instead of measuring yourself against someone who's been fluent for years, it's more beneficial to compare yourself to your past self. Look at how far you've come.That's a great perspective. And it's also tough when there's a lack of a safe environment to practice. Sometimes we don't have anyone we feel comfortable speaking with.Totally. Having a supportive environment is crucial. You don't want to feel judged when you're trying to get better.So, what can we do to overcome these hurdles?Great question. First, it's important to conquer your mindset. One actionable tip is to embrace strategic incompetence. Give yourself permission to be bad at speaking for a while. Your primary goal should be to communicate, not to be perfect.That makes sense. If you allow yourself to make mistakes, it takes off a lot of pressure.Exactly. Another helpful tip is to reframe your goals. Instead of setting out to have a perfect 30-minute conversation, aim for smaller achievable goals like successfully ordering a coffee and saying, "Have a nice day."I love that. It's much more manageable.Absolutely. Now, let's bridge the input-output gap. One helpful strategy is self-talk. As you go about your day, describe your actions in English. Say things like, "I am walking to the kitchen." Or, "I need to buy milk." It may sound a bit silly, but it's a great way to practice without pressure.I can see how that helps. It keeps the language fresh in your mind.Exactly. Also, consider shadowing. This involves listening to audio clips like podcasts or YouTube videos and then repeating after them to practice rhythm and intonation.That's a smart way to improve fluency.It really is. And that practice helps build what we call muscle memory for your mouth and brain. But there's another critical area we haven't touched on yet: cognitive load.Cognitive load. That sounds a bit scientific. What does that mean for an English learner?It's the mental effort required to speak. Think about it. You're trying to remember vocabulary, apply grammar rules, manage your pronunciation, and follow the conversation all at the same time. Your brain's RAM gets maxed out, and it just freezes.Oh, that explains so much. It's not that we don't know the words, it's that our brain is doing too many tasks at once.

获取全部文本资料公众号搜索：yymaster888Hey, hey. Welcome back to Pod and Chill. I'm Leo.And I'm Gwen. It feels really nice to be here with you today. Today we want to talk about something that almost every English learner feels.Yes, that moment when you know the answer in English, but you don't say it.Like when you are at a restaurant in another country and you want to order, but you are afraid your pronunciation will sound strange.Or my favorite at the airport. Someone asks you a very simple question and suddenly you cannot say anything in English.We understand it. We really do. You are not the only one with this problem.Yeah. Many learners told us the same story. And to be honest, I also felt this when I was learning French.Oh, tell them more about it.Well, I studied French for many years. But when I first traveled to Paris, I was too nervous to open my mouth. So, I just stayed quiet.See feeling nervous is normal. Even for us who speaks English as our first languages we all have to start somewhere. Nobody is perfect at the beginning. So don't feel bad if it happens to you too.Right. Today we're going to talk about how to stop overthinking and how to talk in English without thinking too much.We'll share stories, examples, and also small challenges you can try today.So, let's chill and start.Speaking is often the hardest part. Many learners understand words on paper, but when they try to talk, they feel shy.So, let's start with the first big problem for English learners. This is what we call overthinking, right?Yes. One big reason is overthinking. When your brain thinks too much before you speak, some English learners think every word is like a big challenge.Yeah, speaking feels hard sometimes.They are scared that if they say it wrong, it will break in front of everyone. But the truth is, most people don't even notice small mistakesAnd this makes them wait too long. Instead of just speaking, they repeat the word in their head again and again.Yep. It's like standing by a swimming pool. You know the water is safe, but if you wait too long, swimming feels more scary.When I was a kid, I stood next to the swimming pool for a whole hour because I was too scared to swim. Then my friend held my hand and swam with me. It was not scary at all. And it even felt fresh and fun.It's the same with speaking English. If you stop holding that fear, speaking English will feel fresh and fun. And I promise you will want to speak English more and more.Yeah, I've seen that a lot. Like, I remember one student in your class. You said his name was Ahmed.Oh, yes. He is a shy man, right? Ahmed knew the answer. But when the teacher asked, he just stayed quiet. He said it felt like everyone was looking at him.Wow, I can totally imagine that. That can make you very nervous.Every time you see someone smiling at you, you think they're laughing at you.Yes. Sometimes being afraid of people laughing is worse than actually saying the wrong word.Exactly. And the real problem isn't the mistake. It's that thought in your head. What if they think I'm not smart?Oh, this reminds me of Maria. She was in my French class. She was really good at writing. On every test, Maria always got high scores. But when she had to speak in front of people, she didn't know what to say.Oh, so she was very shy and afraid her French didn't sound good.Yeah. That fear made her quiet for a long time. And because she didn't speak, it took her much longer to use French wellGrammar and words were already strong, but all that knowledge stayed on paper, not in her mouth.Yep. And the good thing is when she finally lost some of that fear, her French became much better. That shows the power of speaking, not only studying.That's amazing. Well, when fear of grammar, pronunciation, and people's opinions come together, it makes us stay quiet.Yes. And new English learners often keep the words inside. Even when they know the answer, they don't take the chance to speak.And after a while, staying silent makes it even harder. You stop believing in yourself. learners start thinking maybe I'm not good at English.But that's not true. You can improve, but only if you speak and accept mistakes. How do you feel when you make a mistake in your own language? It's not too bad, right?Exactly. Mistakes aren't the problem. The real problem is staying silent.Yes. If we say speak, we cannot stay silent. Here's something really important to remember when learning English, my dear friends.But hey, just relax and enjoy what we share. Maybe with a glass of water and some fresh fruit next to you. Don't push yourself to remember everything right now. We will make it easy for your mind.That's true. Thanks for reminding, Gwen. I got so excited that I forgot this point. Now, let's just chill and listen to what we share next. Nobody can learn a language without mistakes.True. Even native speakers make mistakes. They stop, say words again, or say um, uh and nobody cares.Exactly. Look at children learning to talk. They don't learn grammar first. They try words, make mistakes, and then learn.That's right. Mistakes are not bad. Mistakes help you move forward. The goal is not to be perfect. The goal is to make people understand you.Yes. The more you talk and make small mistakes, the more you learn. Your brain remembers what is correct and what is not.So don't be afraid of mistakes. Every mistake is helping you improve.But the thing is when we learn a new language, many people want to be perfect. It's hard to stop this feeling of I want to be perfect from the start. Because in the beginning, we feel very excited and full of energy.Yes. Like when we buy new books, new pens or open a new app to study. We tell ourselves this time I will do it right. No mistakes.Exactly. It feels like the first day of school. Everything is fresh and we don't want to make it dirty.But language learning is not like a clean notebook. Mistakes are normal and they even help us.True. However, this wish to be perfect can create many problems. Problems that make learners nervous, quiet, or slow.These things often feel like traps. We fall into them without even knowing. So, let's talk about the first trap. Translating in your head.Here we go. Many learners try to change every word from their own language into English.Right.For example, in some languages, people say ticket go. If you translate that directly, the English sounds strange. In English, we say roundtrip ticket.Yes. And if you do this word by word, your brain becomes very slow.Exactly. Imagine this. You are at the airport. The staff asks you, "How can I help you?" Your brain starts working like a machine. First you hear the English, then you translate it into your own language, then you think of the answer in your language, then you try to change it back into English.

Now, I know your name, but you haven't told me why you are here.Oh, right. I am Linda. Agata's cousin. Don't you remember me?Agata's cousin. Linda? Oh, right. Agata had a cousin called Linda. But we haven't met before. I don't remember. We have met before. Um, am I wrong?It was many years ago when I was a child. I went to my grandmother's birthday. You don't remember because it was like 20 years ago. I understand.Yeah, I see. Wait a minute. Are you that little girl who was with Joanna?Yes, Joanna is my mother. That day she told me we had to go to that party to see the family.I can't believe it. But look how you've grown. It's unbelievable. By the way, how is your mother? I haven't seen her since that day. Is she okay?Unfortunately, she died many years ago, but it's fine. She had a good life.Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, but she was an excellent woman. I remember she brought some cookies that day.Yeah, her cookies were the best. And she had this secret recipe.Oh, I could die to try one of those cookies again. They were so delicious. But she's not with us anymore.Well, she taught me how to do them. If you want, I can make some cookies for you.Oh, really? No, of course not. How do you think? I'm going to let our guest cook.Well, that could be okay then because I am not your guest. Actually, I am working here now.Are you kidding? I mean, I think it's fantastic, but Agata didn't tell me anything.Your wife must have forgotten to tell you, but yeah, I'm the new housekeeper.I can't believe it. Agatha. Agatha. She must be thinking about her trip. Every year she travels to Paris. You know, she's a businesswoman. She has meetings there. Last year I went with her. It was so boring. I wanted to come back immediately.I see. It must be beautiful to know different countries. Sounds interesting.Well, once you get used to it, you get bored. I mean, traveling is also tiring. Don't tell me you never traveled out of this country to Europe, Asia, Africa.No, sir. I mean, I had the chance to travel to Spain to work, but I couldn't do it.Oh, but you should do it. Traveling is one of the most amazing experiences in life.Yes, I suppose. The thing is that I don't have money to travel. I'm poor.Oh, I see. But we can go someday. I mean, Agatha, you and me.And my daughter. Yes, I have a daughter. She's about to start school.Oh, that's fantastic. We could travel together someday as a family. I want to meet your daughter.Yes, maybe some other time. Now I have a lot of things to do. I am really sorry, sir.Why do you call me sir? Call me by my name. I am Charles. You can tell me Charlie. And I really like talking to you. You know, Agata and I don't talk much. I work in the company all day and she also goes to work. We never talk.Yeah, I suppose. But you are a great team. You have created many businesses together. And you are successful now. You have money, houses, cars. I mean, I'm sorry.No, no, that's okay. Don't be sorry. What you said was right, Linda. We have made a lot of money together. We worked hard. But life is not perfect. We had to sacrifice a lot of things to get it. But I don't want to talk about that anymore. Look at you. You look fantastic. You're so beautiful. I can't believe it.Thank you. Now I have to work. I have a lot of things to clean, sir. I mean, Charles,I told you to call me Charlie. And you don't have to work today. Why don't we go out? I mean, today is a beautiful day, and I want to go to the movies. Do you like it? I mean the movies. I used to go with Agatha when we were younger, but we don't anymore.I love going to the movies, but I can't go. I have to work. I have to clean the house.Oh, you can clean that later. Life is short. There is a movie theater near here and there is a great movie I have been waiting to see and you look fantastic. I mean you have dazzled me. You have beautiful eyes and a beautiful smile too. Has anyone ever told you that? And of course, your hair looks fantastic. Are you a top model?Thank you, sir. I mean, Charles, stop. Charlie, I'm sorry.That's okay. I love your smile. Do I make you nervous?Yeah, a little. I really would like to go, but I don't think that's correct.Why do you say that? We're family, right? I mean, we, you and me, are not family. Luckily, but my wife is your cousin. We can go out together. Agata will never know. She's never at home. I am sure she will come home very late today as usual. So, we can go to the movies and maybe to drink something after that if you want.I don't know. I don't think it's appropriate your wife.Oh, come on.Maybe some other day we could go with your daughter. I'm sure she needs a lot of things for the school. Well, I can buy those things for her.Oh, you're so kind. All right, I think just for a moment. I'll go get my purse and we'll go.Yeah, sure. Go ahead. Wow, she's so beautiful. I can't believe it. What? Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want to see the rest of this story? Well, like the video and comment. Linda, are you ready? Linda.So, what do you think? I rented this apartment for us. You will live here. It's a nice apartment, isn't it?Yes, it is a beautiful apartment, but I don't know. I mean, it's perfect, butyou don't look happy. What happened? I thought you'd like this apartment. It has all the features you asked for. A big living room, a nice kitchen, a great bedroom. We haven't seen the bedroom. Why don't we go there and check it?Yeah, that's the problem. The bedroom. Don't you understand? I just wantWhat happened? You don't like the bedroom? But you haven't seen it yet.No, this apartment. It's big and beautiful. It's fancy. Yeah, but there is one problem.Look, if you want to remodel this apartment, feel free to do so. Seriously, I have a lot of money and you know that money is not a problem for me. So, change the curtains, buy a television, a new fridge, or new furniture if you want.

If I were the president, I would definitely try to help homeless people first.How?I'd make sure there were more shelters and job training programs. If people had a safe place to sleep and learn new skills, they could find work.That's a good idea. What about healthcare?Oh, healthcare is super important. If I were president, I would make sure everyone had access to good doctors, no matter how much money they had.I agree. And education?If I had the power, I would invest a lot more in education. If kids got a better education, they'd have a better future.I couldn't agree more. What about climate change?That's a tough one. If I were president, I would invest a lot in green energy like solar and wind power. If we used more clean energy, the planet would be healthier. If we protect the earth, then future kids will have a nice place to live.Those are all really thoughtful answers.Thanks. It's fun to think about. If I ever become president, I will remember this conversation.You got my vote.Workplace RulesHey Rita, ready for your first day at work?Hey Pam, I guess so. Are there specific things we must do or things we absolutely should not do around here?Our rules are pretty relaxed, but yes, there are a few key things.Like what? I'm all ears.Okay, first attendance. Everyone must clock in before 9 a.m. sharp. If you are going to be late, you should always call or text your direct manager immediately.Clock in by 9. Got it.Next noise. You must keep your phone conversations quiet. If you need to take a long call, you can use the small meeting room down the hall.That makes sense. Noise control.Also, lunch breaks. You can take a full hour, but you should try to eat in the break room, not at your desk if possible. And you have to clear your own dishes after using the kitchen.Okay, no problem.One last thing, dress code. It's quite formal here. You must wear smart clothes.So, no jeans?No, you cannot wear jeans. You may wear simple jewelry, but you mustn't wear anything too flashy.Okay, I understand. This is very helpful, Pam. Thank you so much. I will make sure to follow everything.Turning Things AroundHi, Jane. Thanks for seeing me.Of course, Melanie, what brings you in today?Honestly, I just feel bad about myself, my weight. I don't have any confidence anymore. I really need to lose weight.I hear you, Melanie. We can definitely work on this together. How about we make a simple plan?A plan? Really?Absolutely. Let's start with food.Okay. So, what to avoid?Anything packaged and processed.No more sugary drinks like soda or juice boxes. Try to cut out fast food, chips, and candy.That sounds like everything I like.I know. It's a change. But here's what to eat instead. Lots of fruits and vegetables. Lean proteins like chicken, fish, or beans, and whole grains like brown rice or whole wheat bread. Drink plenty of water throughout the day.Okay, I can try.Great. Now for exercise. We'll start easy. I want you to walk for 30 minutes every single day. Just a brisk walk like you're trying to get somewhere. You can add some simple body weight exercises at home, like 10 squats and 10 lunges, maybe three times a week. How does that sound?It sounds like a lot. But I'm desperate. I'll try my best, Jane.That's all I ask. You've got this, Melanie.Melanie, look at you.Hi, Jane. I know, right? I can't believe it myself.You look absolutely fantastic. How are you feeling?Incredible. I stuck to the plan. I'm eating so much better and I actually enjoy my walks now. My clothes fit. I have so much more energy and I finally feel good about myself again.I'm so proud of you, Melanie. You did all the hard work.Thank you, Jane, for everything. You really helped me turn things around.

He is just busy and he will be back soon. So today it's only you and me having fun together.In this episode we will talk about changes. Changes happen all the time. For example, the weather changes from summer to autumn and our bodies change as we grow up. Changes happen so often we sometimes think they just happen by themselves. But really there is always a reason. If you want something in your life to change, you must do something first. Let's say if you want to improve your English, you need to practice every day. If you want to feel strong, you need to do exercise.Remember that nothing in your life changes if nothing in your habit changes.So, in this episode, we will talk about how one change can bring another and what you can do to make your life better.Oh, by the way, I will add some soft music while I talk. I think it can help you learn and feel relaxed. I really hope you will like it. And now, let's get ready for a fun talk.The Same CycleDo you ever feel like every week is the same? You know, you wake up, you go to work or to school, you eat the same breakfast, you check your phone, you feel tired, the day ends, you go to bed, and then the next day, well, it's the same thing all over again. At night when you lie in bed, you feel a little guilty. You think about all the things you wanted to do. You tell yourself, "Tomorrow I will change. Tomorrow I will do better. Next week I will change." But you know what? When tomorrow comes or when next week comes, nothing is different. It is exactly the same.I mean, I think many of us know this feeling. We want to do better. We really do. We want to eat better food. We want to move our bodies more. We want to study harder. We want to learn new things. But the days pass, the weeks pass, and nothing really changes.Let's think about English for a moment. Maybe you say to yourself, "I want to improve my English. I want to speak better. I want to understand native speakers." And you really mean it. But every day you are just so busy. You watch one short video on YouTube. You learn one new word. You think, "Okay, good. I did something today." But then you forget that word one month later. Two months later, you check your progress and you feel the same. Your English is the same. Maybe it's even a little worse because you forgot some things.Or maybe you say, "I want to exercise. I want to feel strong. I want to be healthy." So, you buy nice running shoes. They look great. You feel excited. You look at an exercise video. You imagine yourself running in the park, feeling amazing, feeling free. But you don't actually start. You say, "I'm too tired today. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe next week when I have more time."This is an awful cycle. The same actions, the same results. You do the same things so you get the same life. Nothing moves forward. And the truth is very simple but also very hard to hear. If you don't change something, nothing in your life will change. I know that sounds awful, but I think deep down we all know it's true.Stop Pressing Snooze on Your DreamsNow you might be wondering why we keep doing the same thing when we say we want to change. Well, many times it is because we are waiting. We wait for the right moment. We say things like, "I will study English when I have more time." Or, "I will exercise when I have more energy," or "I will start eating healthy when I feel ready," or "I will save money when I earn more." But friends, let me tell you something important. The perfect moment almost never comes. I'm serious. It doesn't come.Think about your alarm clock for a second. Maybe you set it for 6:00 in the morning. You want to wake up early. You have good plans. You want to study or exercise or do something useful. The alarm rings at 6. You hear it. But you feel so sleepy. Your bed feels so warm. What do you do? You press snooze. You say just 10 more minutes. I will get up in 10 minutes. The alarm rings again at 6:10. You press snooze again. Okay, just one more time. You wait for the right time to get up, but soon it's 6:30, then 7. Now you are late. You have to do everything fast. You lost your chance to do those morning things.Life is kind of like that. We keep pressing snooze on our dreams. We keep saying I will do it later. I will start next week. I will begin next month. But later becomes tomorrow. Tomorrow becomes next week. Next week becomes next month. And next month becomes never.Waiting feels safe. When we wait, we don't risk anything. If we don't start, we can't fail, right? We can keep the idea in our heads. We can keep the dream safe. But here's the problem. If we don't start, we also can't change. We can't grow. We can't improve. And when you do nothing, nothing changes. Zero action equals zero results.And listen, even when you tell yourself you have a lot of time, so it's okay to wait. I hate to tell you this, but time is limited. If you don't learn to use it right, you might run out of it and all your dreams will go to waste.Why Change Is So Hard (and Why We're Scared)That said, let's be honest for a minute. Change is not easy. I'm not going to lie to you and say, "Oh, just do it. It's simple." Because it's not that simple. In fact, it's hard.But why is change so hard?First, our brains like things that are safe and familiar. Even if a habit is not good for us, it still feels comfortable. It's what we know. For example, scrolling on your phone at night is easy. You don't have to think. But watching an English video without subtitles, that takes more energy. You have to focus. You have to listen carefully. So your brain says no thanks, stay safe, do the easy thing, just scroll.Second, we are afraid. This is a big one. We think, what if I try and fail? What if I look stupid? What if people laugh at me? This fear is so strong. It can stop us before we even begin. It's like a wall in our mind.Maybe you want to practice speaking English with a friend or a language partner, but then you get scared. What if I say the wrong word? What if I can't find the words? What if they think my pronunciation is bad? So, you stay silent. You don't practice.So in the end we don't do things that make us uncomfortable. We keep the old habits. We do the same things. We don't change not because we are lazy but because we are scared. Fear stops us more than anything else.

I will follow that car.Okay. Another day at work and I'm sure today will go very well. Let's start. Ah, it's very late. I have been waiting for 20 minutes. Oh, great. Taxi. Hey, good morning, sir. Where do I take you today?Good morning. I need to go to the city's financial center, please. I'm running a little late, so if you could hurry up a bit, I'd really appreciate it.Sure. I know a highway we can take in a few minutes. Oh, how much could it be?Well, it all depends on how long it takes. But if we arrive on time, it would be about $15. Is that okay?Yes, that's okay. Thank you. Let's go. Looks like today will be a sunny day again.I hope so. I don't like rainy days. It makes my suit wet and the streets wet.I get it. It's also difficult for me as a taxi driver when it rains. There are some streets with potholes and water pools there that damages the car. Besides, I can't wash the car on rainy days because it gets dirty too quickly.Yeah, I understand. I have my own car, but I don't drive it much. City traffic stresses me out. So, I prefer to take a taxi for peace of mind. And I use my car to go out on weekends. It's more relaxing this way.Oh yeah, I understand. I take many businessmen who own luxury cars but prefer to take a taxi for the same reason. It seems this city isn't conducive to so many cars. That's good for me since I have more work.Yeah, I suppose so. And we have arrived. I told you we are just on time. Excellent. Thank you very much. Here, $20 and keep the change.Oh, that's very generous of you. Have an excellent day, sir. Okay, we started the day very well. Good morning, sir. Where do you want to go?Good morning. to the Saturn company, please. It's the one in front of the Congress.Oh, sure. Let me check it. It's five miles away.Yes, that's correct. Hurry up, please. I don't want to be late. I mean, it's not late, but I want to be there before it starts.Sure, we'll get on time. Don't worry. Are you okay?Yes. I mean, no. I mean, sorry. I am nervous. Today is my last interview. I've been preparing for this job for a long time. And everything is defined today. I just hope I get the job.Oh, good for you. Can I ask what kind of job is that?Uh, I'm applying to be the company's new publicist. I studied for 5 years at university, took several specialized courses and learned English and French. I had my internship at another company and I hope that helps. God, I'm so nervous. If I get this job, it could be amazing.That's great. Don't worry. You've prepared very well for this job. I'm sure you'll succeed. And I wish you all the luck in the world.I I don't believe in luck. I think you make things happen, which is why I prepared myself for this.Of course, luck isn't about being hired just because you have to be prepared for those things to happen. Luck sometimes gives you the opportunity and you have to be ready and you are. So, I'm sure they'll hire you.Thank you very much. You're right. I'm ready for this. I have to be confident. I feel better. Thank you.You're welcome. And here we are. It's $21.Oh, great. Here you are. Thanks. Have a good day and good luck again. All right, let's continue. Good morning, sir. Where do you want to go?Follow that car, please.Um, it's not something illegal, is it? If so, I unfortunately can't take you.No, no. My wife is in that car. I just want to see where she goes. Starting to suspect she's cheating on me. Follow that car.Oh, okay. All right. I will follow that car.Faster, please. We're going to lose her.Relax. I won't lose it. Don't worry. Can I ask you something? Why do you think she's cheating on you?I'm almost certain she's cheating on me. I've noticed she's changed a lot for weeks now. She comes home late from work and says she has meetings every day. But a few days ago, I called her office and they told me everyone had already left. She had told me she could be in a meeting. When she got home, she told me she'd left work early, but there was a lot of traffic. 3 hours of traffic. Can you believe it?

获取全部英语文本和重点知识点请公众号搜索：yymaster888Hello friends and welcome back to our brand new podcast episode.Hi everyone, I'm your host Emily and joining me is Kevin. Today we're going to talk about something I think everyone can relate to.Indeed. And I have a feeling you're talking about friendship, right?Yes, exactly. So, Kevin, how many friends do you have right now?Hm, that's a tricky question. If you mean real friends, the ones who actually stay in touch and support me, I'd say just a few. Quality over quantity, you know.Very well said. So, now let's talk about how to understand whether someone is our real friend. What do you think, Kevin?Good question. I think a real friend is someone who supports you not only when things are going great, but also when life gets tough.Exactly. Many people are around when you're happy or successful, but real friends stay when you're sad, broke, or struggling.Right? Real friendship shows up during both good and bad times. It's about loyalty, not convenience.The second thing is honesty, even when it's hard to hear the truth. If a friend can't be honest with you, that friendship won't last long.Yeah, absolutely. I remember once I was about to post a photo on social media and I thought I looked great, but my friend Sarah texted me and said, "Kevin, maybe choose another one. This one's a bit blurry." I was like, "What?" But later I realized she was right. That's real friendship. Being honest, not fake.Yes. A real friend doesn't just say, "You look perfect all the time." They care enough to tell you the truth kindly. Exactly. Fake friends just agree with everything to keep you happy, but true friends help you become better.Now, let's talk about the third point. A real friend accepts you for who you are.Yes, that's so true. I've seen people who only stay around when you act or look a certain way, but a real friend doesn't expect you to be perfect.Exactly. I have a friend who always laughs at my silly jokes, even when they're not funny. She never tries to change me. She just gets me.That's a good one. I think that's the best feeling when someone understands your weird side and still sticks around.Right. You can be fully yourself. No pretending, no fear of being judged. And that's when you know this person is not just a friend, they're family.You know, another one that's a real sign of a strong friendship is when you're totally comfortable sharing silence. Like you don't feel the need to fill every second with chatter.Oh, 100%. That's the real test, isn't it? When you can just sit together, maybe drinking tea or scrolling on your phones, and it doesn't feel awkward at all. That's true comfort.Exactly. I was just thinking about this the other day. I was at the park with my best friend, and we just sat on a bench for ages, people watching, not really saying much. And it wasn't weird. It was actually just really nice.I love that. It's like the connection is so strong. Words just become optional. You don't need to be on all the time.

Look at it. It's perfect for you. It's 80 inches, like a cinema in your living room.Wow, it's big. But you know, my living room is small. If I buy this TV, I think I will sit closer than the actors, sir.Bigger is always better. Imagine football games. Wow. Imagine movies. It's like being inside the screen. Amazing.Yes, but in my house it's only me, my wife, and sometimes my dog. The dog doesn't care about football, you know what I mean?Oh, but think about guests. Your friends will love it.My friends, they don't visit. They only watch Netflix at home.Okay, then let me show you. All right, maybe this model. 4K, smart TV, voice control, everything.Do I need voice control? My wife already tells me what to do every day.Good points, sir. Okay, let's be practical. How big is your living room?My living room. Let's see. It's medium. Maybe 40 or 50 inches is good. Not too small, not too big.All right. I have a 50-inch model. It's a new model. You will love it. Good quality, smart features, and the price is fair.Yes, that sounds perfect. Remember, I don't need the biggest TV. I need the right TV.You're a wise customer. Most people want biggest, but you know what you need.Exactly. Sometimes less is more. I know that.All right then, sir. Let's take this 50-inch TV. But are you sure your dog won't want the bigger one?If my dog starts watching TV, I'll come back. I promise.College PressureHey, son. You look serious. What's on your mind?Dad, I feel lost. School ends soon and everyone keeps asking me: What will you study? What's your future? What will you do? But I don't know. I feel so much pressure. I don't know what to do.I see. That's not easy. What careers do people suggest?Some say medicine, others say engineering. My friends say business or law. But I don't feel sure about any of them. What if I choose wrong? What if I disappoint you? I don't want you to be disappointed in me.Son, listen. First, you will never let me down. Don't worry. Your future is important, but it is your future, not mine, not your teachers, not your friends.But time is running. Everyone seems to know what they want and I, I don't.It's okay not to know. Life is not a race. If you are not sure, it's better to take your time than to choose something you don't love.But what if I waste time? What if people think I'm lazy?Taking time to know yourself is not wasting time. Of course not. It's building your path. And son, no matter what you decide: doctor, artist, engineer, or something new, I will support you always.Really, Dad? Even if I don't choose right now?Yes. Let me tell you something. You don't need all the answers today. You just need courage to keep learning step by step. The right choice will come when you are ready. Remember that.Thanks, Dad. I think I feel better now. You are the best.Good. Remember, the most important thing is not the career, but the person you become.I'll remember that. Thank you, Dad. I love you.Meeting at a PartyHi there. I don't think we've met before. I'm Daniel.Oh, hi Daniel. Nice to meet you. I'm Laura.Laura, that's a beautiful name. So, do you come to many parties like this?Not really. I'm more of a stay at home and read a book kind of person. But tonight, my friend invited me. So, here I am.Wow. Then I'm lucky. If you didn't come, I wouldn't have the chance to meet you.You're smooth, huh? Do you always talk like that?Only when I meet someone interesting, and you look very interesting.Well, thank you. So, tell me Daniel, what do you do when you're not at parties making compliments?Good question. I work in an office, but honestly, my real passion is cooking. I love making pasta. I can also cook lasagna and many other things.Really, I love pasta. Maybe one day you can cook for me.Oh, that sounds like an invitation. I'd be happy to, but only if you promise to bring dessert. What do you say?Deal. I make amazing chocolate cake, believe me.Then it's perfect. Pasta and cake. It's like destiny.You are funny. I like that. I mean, you seem to be a funny guy.Thanks. Hey, do you use Instagram? Maybe we can share contacts. I think everyone has it nowadays.Here's my phone. Add yourself.Got it. And maybe we can go out next week. I mean, not to a party. Maybe something more quiet, right?I'd like that. I like quiet places. Maybe coffee.Coffee sounds perfect. I love coffee. It's a date then.Okay, Daniel, don't forget the pasta promise.Never. Pasta, cake, and maybe a little more.I don't think so, but we'll see.

And is it 10%, 15%, or 20%. And what happens if you don't tip at all? Today, I'm going to explain American tipping culture in an easy and simple way. Let's start.The most common place to tip is at a full-service restaurant like the one I'm in right now. A normal tip for good service is around 15 to 25%.But why is it so high? When the server brings your bill, he or she will bring you two copies. One for the restaurant or the merchant copy and one for you. On your copy, there's a line that says tip. So, my total for my food is $34.95. But I do have to tip my server for her service. So, if I leave a tip, the total will be a lot higher than I thought. So, you're not just paying for your meal. I'm not only paying $34.95. I'm going to be paying 15 to 25% more because I do have to leave a tip.Also, I do want to add that if you are with a group of six or more people at your table, some restaurants will add an automatic tip, which means that the tip is already included with your order. So, if you are with a big group of people, go ahead and check that bill and check for gratuity and it'll be 18 to 20% already added to your bill. And why am I telling you that? Well, one time I went out with a big group of friends and of course I didn't know the restaurant already had a tip included in the receipt. So when I received the bill, I put a tip amount in this section without looking at the original price with the tip already included. I'm telling you this to be careful and double check the receipt to make sure you don't leave a double tip. But if the service was really good and you do want to leave a double tip, that's totally fine. But I do know some people don't know the rules here in America. So make sure and double check if you are sitting with a group of six or more people. Just ask the restaurant if the tip is already included in the check.Why do we tip so much? And where does the system come from? Well, in many states, restaurant workers, especially servers, earn a subminimum wage. That means their wage is a lot lower than the normal minimum wage. And that's the reason why many servers and restaurant workers depend on tips because most of their income comes from that. The idea is that this encourages better service. So the more attentive and more friendly your server is, the more likely you are able to tip well, which means your server will make more money. And this is all based on a performance-based payment system. But what happens if you don't tip well or at all? For a server, that's just not a bad day. It can essentially mean they worked for free or even lost money since they often have to tip out a portion of their tips to busers or other workers in the restaurant. This is a high-stake system for them.But now, let's go ahead and ask my server, Evelyn, what she thinks about tipping culture in America.Host: This is my wonderful server, Evelyn. She took care of me today. So, Evelyn, what do you think about tipping culture?Evelyn: I think it depends on every circumstance in every restaurant. Um, like here, we make a little bit more below um minimum wage just because we do make bigger tips. Um, tipping is not always necessary by any means. If you can't tip, you can't tip. It's honestly appreciated, but as someone who mainly works for tips, um it's a little frustrating when I do get stiffed or when somebody doesn't tip like according to the bill.Host: Have you had times where someone left like zero tips?Evelyn: Uh yes, all the time. Um it could either depend on they felt as if they didn't get as good service or they didn't like the food. Um anything can go into it. I've had times where I've gotten zero tips, but I've had times where I've gotten up to $300 at a time.Host: So, since you work as a server, how do you tip in real life? Like, do you tip at restaurants? Do you tip at cafes?Evelyn: I tip everywhere, even on DoorDash and deliveries. Um, I typically tip always 20%. Um, and then if it's really great service, I go beyond that.Host: And then here's your tip.Evelyn: Thank you so much.

My name is Gwen and I'm so happy to be here with you today.Hello Gwen, and hello to all our wonderful friends around the world. I'm Leo. How are you doing today, Gwen?I'm doing really great, Leo. It always makes me happy to join you and talk with our friends. What about you?I'm very good. Thank you. I feel excited and ready for another fun episode.Me, too. But before we get started, we just want to say a big thank you to all of you for listening and supporting our channel.If you enjoy learning with us, please share this video with your friends.Yes. And don't forget to subscribe and give us a like. It really helps us grow and keeps us motivated to make more lessons for you.Exactly. Every little bit of support means a lot.So, are you ready for today's topic?Absolutely. Today's topic is going to be a fun one.We are going to talk about things we like to do.That's such a great topic. In English, one of the most common and useful questions is, "What do you like to do?"Yes. It's a perfect way to start a conversation and get to know someone better. So, let me ask you first. What do you like to do, Leo?Hm, that's a very good question. I actually like many things. For example, one of my favorites is listening to music. I like to listen because it helps me relax and learn at the same time.Oh, nice. And to say you like something, you can use the phrase I like to followed by the action.For example, "I like to listen to music."Exactly. "I like to listen to music." Or you can also say "I like listening to music." Both are correct.Yes. "I like to listen to music" or "I like listening to music." Very good. What kind of music do you like to listen to?I like pop songs. Fun and happy songs. They always give me energy. And you? Do you like to listen to music?I do. I like to listen to music a lot. I like listening in the morning while I drink my coffee. It makes me feel relaxed and ready for the day.What about other things, Gwen? What else do you like to do?Well, I really like to ride my bicycle in the evening. The fresh air, the quiet streets, it feels amazing.Riding a bike is great. So, you say, "I like to ride my bike." Good. Do you ride every day?I try to. Not every day, but maybe three times a week. It makes me feel free.That's wonderful. Feeling free is important. We can use another word for "like." We can say enjoy. For example, "I enjoy riding my bicycle in the evening."Oh yes, "enjoy" is a great word. It sounds a little stronger, like you really, really like it. I enjoy riding.Exactly. With the word enjoy, we usually use the action with "-ing" at the end. For example, I enjoy swimming. I enjoy riding. I enjoy speaking.That's a great tip, Leo. So, I can say, "I enjoy drinking tea in the afternoon."Perfect. Yes. Wow, your afternoon sounds very relaxing, Gwen.It is. What about you, Leo? What do you enjoy doing?I enjoy playing the guitar.Really? Wow. I'm not very good with instruments.It's fun. I enjoy learning new songs. It's not always easy, but it's very rewarding.Using "Love"What about movies, Gwen? Do you like to watch movies?Oh, I love movies. See, we have "like," "enjoy," and now love. "Love" is very strong.Yes, "I love movies." It means you like them very, very much.Exactly. I love watching comedies. They always make me laugh.I can imagine. I love movies too. I love watching science fiction. They are so exciting.Ah, science fiction is fun. So for our friends, you can say "I love" and then the thing. "I love movies" or "I love watching comedies."Yes, it's easy. I love pizza. I love sunny days. I love holidays.Oh, I definitely love holidays. Who doesn't?Talking About Hobbies, Food, and SportsOn weekends, I like to bake cakes. Sometimes I try new recipes from the internet like carrot cake or banana bread.Baking is great. So you say, "I like to bake cakes." That's a perfect example. What kind of cakes do you love the most?I love fruit cakes. The sweetness of the fruit makes them taste so fresh. I also enjoy decorating them with cream and strawberries. It feels creative, almost like art.Fruit cakes are delicious. I enjoy them, too. But I also like cheesecakes. You know, rich and creamy. Sometimes one small piece is never enough.Oh, cheesecakes are amazing!What about sports, Leo? Do you like to play sports?I do. I like to play basketball. It's exciting and it keeps me healthy. It's also a lot of fun to play with friends on the weekend.And you, Gwen, do you like sports?I don't play sports very much, but I like to watch swimming on TV. The races are so fast and the swimmers are so strong.Ah, watching sports is fun, too. So, here's a question for our friends. Do you like to play sports or watch sports?

But they also bring their lives with them.Some bring laughter.Some bring tears.Some bring secrets.My store is not just a store. It's a little stage where life keeps playing every single day.Let's see who walks in first today. It's going to be a good day.Scene 1: The TeapotGood morning, Mr. Sam. Do you have a teapot? A big one, not a small one.Of course, Mrs. Brown. Big or small? Shiny or simple? I have many teapots. But tell me, why a big one if it's only for you? I don't understand.Huh? Young man, because when I pour tea into a big teapot, I don't feel so alone. You see, I used to make tea every day for my husband. We would sit in the garden talking about silly things, laughing, complaining about the neighbors, or just watching the birds. When he passed away, I thought I could stop drinking tea. But then I realized that I could still talk to him even if he was not there.Oh, I see. So, you still talk to him every day?Of course. I'll tell you something. Love doesn't disappear. I sit by my window at 4:00 sharp, pour tea into two cups, and I tell him everything that happened that day. Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I laugh, but at least I don't feel invisible.That's beautiful. You know, I believe people never really leave. They live in our words, our habits, our memories.Yes. But sometimes the silence in the house is too heavy. That's why I came here today. My old teapot broke yesterday. It felt like losing him again. That's why I want to buy a new one.Then we'll fix that today. Look at this one. Big, shiny, strong. Like it was made for someone who knows the weight of love.You are a poet, Sam. All right, I like it. How much?Don't worry. For you, I'll give you a special price. $10. But with one condition. Next time you drink tea, save a cup for me. I'll visit and we'll talk about your stories. What do you think?Deal. And I'll make cookies the way my husband liked them.Then it's a promise. Thank you, Mrs. Brown. And have a nice day.You too, Sam. You're always so kind. Have a nice day.You know, sometimes people don't buy objects. They buy memories, comfort, a way to keep love alive.Scene 2: The CologneExcuse me. Do you have cologne? Something good, please. Really good.Good morning. A cologne? Yes, I do. What's going on? Relax, young man. You look like you're about to run a marathon.What happens is I... I have a date tonight. My first real date. And I don't want to smell like chicken wings, you know.I get it. Good choice. Cologne is a smart idea. But remember, she will fall in love with your heart, not just your smell.Wow, this one smells amazing. Fresh, clean, kind of confident. Mr. Sam, what do you think? Do you think she will like it?Let me tell you this. If she doesn't, maybe she's not the right person. But tell me, where are you taking her?

获取全部英语文本和重点知识点请公众号搜索：yymaster888Hey everyone and welcome back to my YouTube channel. Today we are going to learn about something useful. How to learn English using just your phone. Our phones are powerful tools that can transform how we learn.The first thing I would do if I want to learn English from my phone is to change the phone's language to English. This might feel a little challenging at first, but you'll quickly pick up on technical terms and common phrases you see every day, like when you're updating apps or navigating settings. Think of your phone settings. That's the main place to change things and fix problems. If you change your language to English, you are going to learn new words like personal hotspot, display and brightness, wallpaper, etc. And you are going to get used to seeing these new words on your phone.Another way to learn English on your phone is by using Google Translate or any similar translation app you have. In my opinion, translation apps are really underrated. It's like having a dictionary right in your pocket. Let's say you see a sign on the road and you don't know what it means. For example, a sign that says toe. With a translation app, you can hear the English pronunciation, see examples of how toe is used in a sentence and see the word used as a noun, verb, or adjective, which helps you increase your vocabulary. This gives you a clear understanding of what the word means and how you can use it all in a quick and easy way. I really encourage you to use your translator app whenever you encounter a word you don't really know.Here's an even cooler feature. You can even take a picture and translate everything it says in the photo. For example, let's say you're at a restaurant. You can take a picture of the menu. Now I can see the menu in English or in your native language. This is helpful because you can see both the English version and the menu in your native language side by side. It makes learning practical and fun, especially if you're not sure what dishes are on the menu.Now that we have our phones switched to English, you'll want to download a dedicated learning app. An app is just any program you download like WhatsApp, Spotify, Amazon, etc. As you guys know, I am a native speaker and sometimes when my students ask me to try new apps to learn English, especially with AI, I realized some apps don't sound natural. So, after trying different apps, one app that drew my attention is Bspeaker.Bspeaker is an app that is easy to use. This is important when you're learning English because you don't want to download an app that is hard or complicated to navigate. And Bspeaker did a really good job with this. Their homepage is simple and easy to use. And the most important thing is their videos are accurate. It feels like you're having a live class, but even better. The difference between this app and other apps is that there aren't any AI avatars. Instead, you can see a real person talking, see their body language, and how they express themselves. This is important because when you speak English in real life, you speak with a real person. You don't talk with an AI avatar, so you can see their lips. You hear their accent, pronunciation, tone of voice, and can hear their emotions.Now that we've changed our phone language to English and downloaded the app, let's start learning English with my phone. I'm on Bspeaker and one part that I like is clicking on the brain, the AI tutor icon. You press the scenes button and this will show you different scenarios you can practice your English with. Let's practice one that can be really tricky. Complaining about food, especially if you're not sure how to phrase things. It's not a secret that here in America, the food can be bad. This is a great way to practice. Let's start."Welcome to our restaurant. How can I assist you today? Is there anything wrong with your order?""Yes, there is something wrong. I haven't gotten my food in a while, and I'm wondering what's the holdup. Can you ask the chef?""I sincerely apologize for the delay. That must be quite frustrating for you. Let me check with the kitchen right away and find out the reason for the hold up. Could you please let me know what you ordered?""Yes, I ordered steak.""Thank you for the information. I'll find out what happened to your steak order immediately. Please bear with me for just a moment. Thank you for your patience. It seems there was a mixup in the kitchen and your order is being prepared now. I am so sorry for the inconvenience. To make it up to you, would you like a complimentary dessert of your choice once your meal arrives?""Yes, that would be great. Thank you."That was great. You might know what the waiter will say after you do complain, but you might end up getting a free meal or a free dessert. In this case, it's complimentary, and that means the restaurant won't charge you for it. I feel so much more confident after practicing with the AI tutor. Now, let's take this confidence into the real world and practice complaining about food at a restaurant."Hey, is everything okay? You need something?""Yeah, I've actually been waiting on my refill for like over 30 minutes and I don't even know when my food's going to be ready. Can you ask the chef?""Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I'm going to ask right now. It's just like right now we're pretty busy. Also, let me get a refill for you.""Okay.""Sorry about that. Maybe we can give you a free dessert for your wait.""Okay, that'll be great. Thank you so much."Wow, thank you so much. I just practiced a real-world scenario where I complained about my food and they just gave me a complimentary dessert which is completely free.

获取全部英语文本和重点知识点请公众号搜索：yymaster888Hey everyone, welcome back to Podcast and Chill. I'm Leoand I'm Gwen. How are you feeling today?We hope you're still doing well and ready to learn something new with us.Leo, I want to ask you something. Have you ever felt like it's hard to handle work, study, health, family, and your hobbies?Oh, wow. Yes. All the time. I feel like I'm always trying to do everything, but never really doing well at anything.That's exactly what I thought. And here's another question. Why do so many people set goals but still can't reach them?Hm. Maybe because we give up too easily. I know I do that a lot.Right. And do you ever feel like days just pass by? And you're tired but feel like you haven't done much.Story of my life. I go to bed thinking, "What did I actually do today? It's annoying." And it's like every new year I make a big list. I'll go to the gym three times a week. I'll eat healthy. I'll learn a new language. Then what? Two weeks later, back to pizza and old habits. And the time feels like it's running fast, but still no change.I think many of our listeners feel the same way, Leo. But here's the good news. It's not because you're lazy or weak. The problem is not only with goals. The real problem is with the system.A system like a robot system？Not exactly. A system means your daily habits, your plan, things around you, all the things that help you move toward your goal step by step.Ah, I see. So, it's not about screaming, "This year I will change my life." It's about building something that can help change happen.And that's why today we'll talk about how to build systems to actually reach your goals before 2025 ends.Oh, that sounds much better because honestly, my 2024 goals are still waiting for me and I'm done feeling tired all the time.Perfect. So, let's start with something that might change how you think about reaching your goals.Hold on, Gwen. I want to ask you something first. We are talking about goals, big goals here, but many people give up quickly. Why does that happen?Let me ask you back. What usually happens when you try to reach a goal?Well, I get excited at first. I make a plan like yes this year I'll go to the gym every day but after a week my body hurts work gets busy and goodbye gym.Uh-huh. And you probably think I just need to try harder or I need more motivation, right?Yeah. I always blame myself for not trying harder or something like that.That's the challenge, Leo. People only use motivation. Motivation feels so strong in the beginning, like something new and exciting, but then after some time, the energy goes down and life makes it hard for you.Yep. That suddenly I'm sitting on the sofa with chips saying, "Tomorrow I'll try again." And then tomorrow becomes next week, next month, and the goal disappears.But don't worry, it's not you, Leo. The real problem here is the way you're doing it. Most people try to run only on willpower and motivation. But those things are like batteries. They run out.So now what? Do we just need bigger batteries?No. The answer is systems thinking.Systems thinking, that sounds very serious, like something in science.、It's actually very simple. Systems thinking means you shouldn't just try harder. Instead, build small habits that work together, like parts of a machine.Parts of a machine. So everything moves smoothly.Yeah. Let me give you an example. Think about brushing your teeth. You don't need motivation every night. You just do it because it's part of your system.True. I never say, "Oh, no. I don't feel motivated to brush my teeth today. I just do it."That's the point. We need to make learning or working become habits we do without thinking. Just like brushing teeth.Okay. But how do I build that system?Now let's use English learning as an example. If you say I will study 3 hours every night, it sounds too hard. You'll give up fast.Yeah, 3 hours feels like too much.But if you break it into small parts, it feels lighter.Small parts like Lego blocks.Yes, Lego blocks. Instead of saying, I'll study 3 hours every night, you break it into smaller parts. I'll study for 30 minutes after work right at the office before going home.Ooh, that makes sense.Or review for 15 minutes on the bus every morning and maybe study for 2 hours on the weekend.That's how it works. Each block is small, but when you connect them, they build into something big and strong.Exactly. You put together these small habits into one system. You fit them into your daily habits after work, during travel, on weekends. You don't have to fight with yourself every day. You already know when or where to study.That actually sounds easier than what I usually do. Like the system is working for me, not against me.You got it. And this idea works for everything, not just English. If you want to get fit, put your workout clothes near your bed so you see them first thing in the morning. Because of this system, it happens every day. Even if you don't feel motivated, you still do it.Wait, so you're saying I don't need to be super motivated all the time?No. The truth is motivation is never enough. On our worst days, it simply goes away. So, how are you going to do it, right?Oh, yeah. On bad days, I just want to lie down and watch TV.And that's completely normal, Leo. You don't need to be stronger. You just need to organize your life to make things easier.Wow, that feels nice. So, it's not about fighting harder. It's about making smarter plans.And once you start thinking in systems, you'll see getting better doesn't stop when motivation is gone. The system helps you keep going.Now, I'm curious, Gwen. How do we actually think in systems?Good question. It's not enough to just say, "I have a system." We need to know how to build it the right way.Ah, like building a house. You don't just throw bricks anywhere. You need to follow steps or the house will fall down.And systems thinking also has some rules to follow.Rules? Oh, no. Sounds important. How many do we need?Not too many. I'll keep it simple. And you can use them for study, work, and even daily life.All right, then I'm ready.Let's begin with rule number one. Think of the big picture.Big picture like looking at life from far away like a map.Something like that. It means don't only look at today. Try to see your goal from all sides. Ask yourself questions like what could stop me if I fail What would be the reason? What problems might I face?Now that sounds like planning for problems before they happen.Correct. And if you can see problems early, you can fix them before they start.Can you give me an example?Sure. Many people want to study at night after work, right? But at that time they are already too tired. So the real problem here is not English. The real problem is lack of sleep and low energy.Huh? If I always fail because I don't get enough sleep, then the answer is not more coffee. I need to sleep better and it means making sleep part of the system.Exactly. That's why thinking about everything is so important.All right, big picture. What's the rule number two?Rule number two, create a system you can use many times.You mean like copy and paste, huh?

I don't like the hospital.Son, it's not the doctor's fault. You're here to feel better, not worse.I know, but what if the doctor says something serious? I'm scared.Then we deal with it together. Don't worry. Everything will be fine.Hello, Tom. Hello, Mr. Davis. So, Tom, tell me, what brings you here today?Um, I've been coughing a lot, especially at night. Sometimes I feel short of breath.I see. Well, I need to ask you and be honest, please. Do you smoke?What? No, I never. No, I don't smoke. Never.Good. It's just a question. Do you spend time around people who smoke?Well, some of my friends smoke, but not me. I promise.He also eats a lot of fast food. Maybe that's part of the problem.Dad, please. That's not the reason. Don't say that.Well, food may not cause coughing, but healthy habits are always important. Let me check your lungs. All right. Now, take a deep breath and out.Your lungs sound fine. I think it may be allergies or maybe a small infection.Really? Are you sure, doctor? I don't want to be sick. Please.Yes. I'll give you some medicine. And I want you to drink more water, eat better, and rest.See, Tom, I told you it was nothing too serious. And you were worried.Yeah, you're right. I guess I was more scared than sick.That happens to many patients. Fear can feel worse than the real problem.Listen to the doctor, son. And remember, health is not only about medicine. It's about choices every day. Habits. You should remember that, son.You're right. I'll try to take better care of myself.Good. You'll be fine. Don't worry. Come back in one week for a checkup.Thank you, doctor. You know that maybe you should also eat less fast food.I like that idea. Maybe we both need a change. What do you think? Deal?I think that's a great idea. Then we start tomorrow.Tomorrow? I thought we were going to start today. Why not today?Because today is Saturday and Saturdays are pizza night.Movie NightFinally, we're here. I've been waiting all week for this movie.Are you sure this is a good idea?
