今天我们就要讲讲胡萝卜.3 years ago, a man lost his wedding ring. And he never thought he’d find it again. 这个爷爷3年前把结婚戒指给丢了，带了几十年的婚戒没了，想想老爷子肯定很桑心。 He lost his wedding ring while gardening in Germany three years ago. And recently mother nature decided to return it to him, and in the most unexpected way. 怎么也想不到，他的婚戒会这样找到。大自然亲妈简直太有创意。 One day, while the man was out checking on his carrots, he was surprised to find his wedding ring stuck in one of the vegetables! 闲来无聊，到园子里挖点萝卜，没想到挖到了丢失的戒指！ The carrot had grown through the ring and brought it to the surface so that it could finally be reunited with its rightful owner. 估计当时案发现场是这样的， 老爷爷在园子里工作，啊！今天的太阳好大啊，擦汗的时候戒指一不下心滑出手指，埋在了泥土里。 然后一颗胡萝卜小苗从土里钻出，被戒指套住了。（以上纯属想象，如有雷同，我好聪明） His late wife always believed he’d find it again, and it turned out that she was right. 他夫人表示，我早就知道你能找到的，我又赢了！恩！就这样。 哈哈 Talk to you next time!
今天我们要讲的是一位飞机机长的故事。 A Chinese airline rewarded one of its pilots with three million yuan for preventing a collision(碰撞) between two planes that could have killed 439 people. 在东方航空公司召开的上海虹桥机场10.11事件何超机组表彰大会上。A320机组机长何超被评为先进党员，并奖励人民币300万元。 同时，该客机机组也获得表彰以及人民币60万元奖励。 怎么回事儿呢？ He Chao’s Airbus A320 was about to take off from an airport in Shanghai last month when it encountered another airplane in its path along the runway. 10月11日深夜，何超及其机组成员驾驶的A320客机载着147名乘客接到塔台指令开车滑出，12时03分，塔台指挥飞机进入36L跑道，机组在执行完起飞前检查单确认跑道无障碍的情况下，执行起飞动作。 The flight was about to take off when another flight had just landed and was taxiing nearby. According to the simulation video, the other flight was speeding up on the runway when Mr. He spotted the A330 entering its runway just feet away. 另一架客机正载着266名旅客穿越36L跑道准备停靠航站楼。眼看两架飞机就要呈“T”字型相撞了。 At that moment, He Chao chose to accelerate and fly over the other aircraft avoiding a head-on crash by just 19 metres. And his aircraft narrowly missed the other plane. 最终A320从A330上方掠过，未造成撞击。 而实际上，两架客机垂直距离最短仅19米。 3秒！ 如果再晚3秒，恐怕就要导致机毁人亡的后果。400多人的生命也会受到严重的威胁。 事后调查相关机构进行了事故调查。 An investigation launched by China's aviation authority, CAAC, found that air traffic control were at fault for the incident. CAAC suggested that the control centre and the crew members of the A330 failed to maintain proper communication with the controller. 一起特大事故有幸避免，有网友留言说，奖励300万一点都不多。人的生命是无法用金钱衡量的，何超机长当时的迅速反应真是太帅了。霸气！ 你觉得呢？ 留言告诉我们吧 Talk to you next time1

Student life can throw up many challenges; a lack of money, terrible food and exams.

Thank you!' 大致意思就是，单身汪在隔壁伤不起，嘿嘿嘿的时候请小点声音，保护单身汪，人人有责！ She then received a postcard posted under her door, accompanied by a bar of chocolate.Amusingly, the postcard had photos of bananas on.

I didn't realise how loud I was being, and yaknow, sometimes have loud lovemaking is low key kinda hot but obviously at your cost, which I apologise so sincerely for. I'm so so sorry, hope this hasn't been occurring too often, and thanks so much for the incredible and hilarious card. I will for sure try to keep it nasty at a significantly lower level. And hey, don't worry, you're not alone forever. The right person will come along when the time comes. I was single for 18 years. Haha. Once again, I apologise so sincerely and deeply.

Or that your computer desk was in need of some serious reorganizing? And then there’s this interesting and funny new episode of “Bigbang Theory” that you must watch right now!

Something that wastes valuable time, causes missed deadlines, poor academic and work performance.

Here is an example:The teacher kept the boys in detention after school. 老师将这些男生课后留堂。 你上学的时候有没有调皮捣蛋被老师留堂过啊？被罚在教室写额外的作业，背额外的课文？最近一个美国的小学出了一个新的惩罚措施。 There’s no such thing as detention at the Baltimore Elementary. Yep, you heard that correctly. Instead they have a Mindful Moment Room, also known as the “oasis of calm”. Actually it is just like a normal classroom but without desks and chairs. They put some Yoga mat in the classroom. 一个没有桌椅只有瑜伽垫的教室，成为了这个小学的冥想室。 If you make a mistake here, the teacher wouldn’t ask you to write more homework or just let you stay in the room for 1 hour after school. 如果在这所学校，你犯了错误。 那么恭喜你，你获得一个安静的冥想的机会。 It’s part of an after-school programme called Holistic（整体性的） Me, an initiative that teaches children to practice mindful meditation and breathing exercises while encouraging them to talk to behavioral professionals. 跟瑜伽有点相似，在这里会有老师叫你如何呼吸冥想，你还可以跟行为专家们谈谈人生，聊聊理想，仿佛在一起看星星，看月亮，从诗词歌赋聊到人生哲学。。 这个举措获得了很多人的支持。Someone says: this is such a great idea! I really believe that punishing kids, especially when they are so young, is a really bad idea because if you just punish them they will not understand what they did wrong and most importantly they wouldn't know what they should have done instead. But they are kids. 活泼好动的孩子能够你让他不说话他就不说话就这样静静的冥想吗？ What’s your opinion? 你有没有试过在心烦意乱的时候冥想呢？
今天我们要聊的这个razor不是用来刮脸的，而是用来腿部美容！- 刮！腿！毛！ So, a surprising new study has concluded that almost half of modern-day men are now shaving their legs - be it with a razor or trimmers (修剪器). 一个在Facebook做的调查显示，48%受访男士会刮腿毛 或者 修剪腿毛。 According to the editor of Men’s Health magazine, about33 percent men admitted to using a trimmer to cut it down while about 15 percent said they shaved their legs frequently and did not find it weird. Meanwhile, over half (51.6 per cent) insisted they would 'never' touch their leg hair. 那么对于男生的腿毛，女生是怎么看的呢？ Another survey found that, 30 percent of women were partly agree to 'a man who trims leg hair down' whilemore than 20 percent 'love' a man with clean-shaven legs. 从调查结果看来，女同学们对于这件事的接受度还是不低的。 看来男生shaving这件事已经渐渐的成为潮流了。 Figures from a UK chain of cosmetic clinics says in 2009 only 781 men aged 18-25 booked in for laser hair removal, but by September 2013, they had already carried out 1,376 appointments. 越来越多的年轻男士，为了美观或者夏天穿短裤会shaving. So, what’s your opinion.男同学们你们会刮腿毛或者修剪腿毛吗？And girls, 你们怎么看这件事儿？ 留言告诉我们吧！Talk to you next time !
An amputee is someone who has had all or part of an arm or a leg amputated.被截肢者Here is an example:Three American amputee war veterans have climbed to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.三名截肢的美国战场老兵登上了坦桑尼亚境内的乞力马扎罗山。今天我们要讲的是一个被截肢的女孩儿的故事。The girl’s name is Gabi Shull.She is living in the United States.When Gabi Shull was only nine years old, she had to have part of her leg amputated(截肢) due to osteosarcoma（骨肉瘤）, a type of bone cancer that affected her knee. 这个9岁的小女孩，因为骨癌不得不做截肢手术。The cancer was found when Gabi had an x-ray after injuring herself ice-skating. 最后她不得不放弃自己的腿，保住自己的生命。她是一个爱跳舞的女孩。此刻人们都认为这个爱笑爱跳的女孩从此不能再跳舞了。但Gabi用实际行动告诉所有人：“你们错了”The little girl had a revolutionary form of surgery called rotationplasty.这个手术给了Gabi一条假肢。 这个假肢可以旋转180度，这让Gabi可以继续跳舞。And that’s exactly what Gabi is doing! She takes pointe , hip-hop, tap, jazz, contemporary and lyrical ，dance classes, and she also dances competitively. 虽然被截肢失去了一条腿，但Gabi的舞蹈生涯还在继续。这场病痛也让她更加坚强。She is also a national spokesperson for a children’s cancer awareness organization called The Truth 365. 病痛能够击垮一个人，也能够让一个人更加坚强。So, work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive.就像这个女孩Gabi一样。Could this girl be any more awesome? I think not.这一期等了好久才更新，we are very sorry. We miss you all. 我们会尽量按时更新哒。请大家多多关注。Love you , talk to you next time!
今天我们讲的这个blur的，被模糊掉的，是一头牛的头。有点绕啊，再说一遍 哈哈一头牛的头就是牛头。So 怎么回事儿呢？ From all around the world, people are using GoogleStreet View (谷歌街景) to see panoramic （全景全貌的）views of many streets. You can see the houses, roads, shops and even the color of a car by using Google Street View. 有一天，一个人用谷歌街景浏览一条路上的风景时，发现了一件奇怪的事情。 There are two cows in the street. But the head of the cow on the right is a blur. So Google Street View decided to protect the privacy of a cow by blurring its face? 谷歌为什么把这头牛的头部给模糊掉了呢？这是为什么呢？ Now many people couldn’t sleep at night, with only one thing in mind- what are you hiding, cow? what are you hiding?! 对于拥有那么多先进技术的谷歌来说，这是巧合吗？ Surely with such advanced technology, the blurring of this cow’s face wasn’t a mistake… Or was it? 外国网友的脑洞也是一下开的收不住了：David says, great to see google takes cow privacy seriously. Franco says, Well, she is naked in the street. Surprised they didn’t blur the udders.And Robert says, He is in the federal witness protection program. 联邦证人保护计划，这位同学一定是美剧看多了。 但到底是怎么回事呢？The terrible truth is, some questions about Google Face Blur algorithm can only be answered by the company. This cow may be a spy, or the key to the national security. Maybe we will never know…
Today we are going to talk about a British girl who earns £50,000 advising Chinese parents on appropriate English baby names. Beau Jessup是一个16岁的英国女孩，生活在一个不太知名的城市。 She came to China one day and she kept being asked to name babies for her parents’ friends. 回国后的Beau就想，给别人取名字也不能白取啊。这是一条发家致富奔小康的新门路啊！ All Chinese babies are given a traditional Chinese name at birth, which is written in Chinese characters and used for all government documents. But there has been a growing demand to adopt an additional English name that can be read, pronounced and printed in English. This would be for use on email and for study and business in the West, but these names were chosen at school by an English teacher or even by pupils. So, she set up SpecialName.cn after spending time in China. She said:” I also heard lots of examples where people had chosen culturally inappropriate English names they'd heard from films or read online. It made me realize there was an opportunity to help Chinese people get it right from the start.” 于是，这姑娘就设计一个网站，这个网站可以根据你的理想和对孩子的期望来取名字。 Beau Jessup has so far suggested names for over 200,000 Chinese babies in six months and her unusual business is booming. 给别人取英文名也能赚钱，那我们给是不是也可以帮助外国朋友取中文名字呢？And what’s your English name? 你的英文名是什么？你有听到过什么好玩又霸气的名字吗？留言告诉我们吧！ Talk to you next time！
今天我们要说的这个小哥，跟Moriarty比起来还是要善良很多。但他到底是英雄还是恶棍呢？People Can’t Decide If He’s A Hero Or Villain. Buddy Bolton is a young guy who is living in New York City in the United States. He recently runs around NYC destroying peoples’ selfiesticks with a branch(树枝) cutter. 这个小哥满纽约转悠，看到有人拿自拍杆拍照就冲上去给人家自拍杆给剪了。 他的朋友还帮忙把这些都拍下来了。 He said:”We were sick of Selfie Stick tourists in NYC, so we did this.” 他们还把这个视频放到了油管上。 In the video, you can see Bolton clipping tourists’ selfiesticks, while they’re trying to take a picture. Even though he does have a good point (it really is an overcrowded city and selfie sticks aren’t making it any better), the guy is destroying personal property and that’s just not cool. Not to mention, it could get him in lots of trouble.好吧，很多人都看不惯别人拿着自拍杆到处拍照，觉得这些游客让城市更加拥挤。但那毕竟也是人家掏钱买的，你二话不说就剪了也不太合适。 他的视频发布后收到了很多留言。 CHAOS TYPE-R comments: “This is beautiful. Do more. ” Patricia Johnson1 comments: “THIS GUY DESERVES TO BE BEATEN UP, BADLY. F*** you! Destroying what other people paid for with their hard work is NOT FUNNY, ASSHOLE.” LemonSpy_1 says :“I have mixed feelings about this. I'm one of those people who hate selfie sticks, but at the same time, destroying others people's property isn't the way to go.” Michael Miller1 comments:“This can't be real as he would have loads of phones to pay for lol.” So what is your opinion?你觉得Buddy Bolton的做法合适吗？Is he a hero or villain? Let us know by leaving a comment. Talk to you next time!

Alicia Keys did something pretty gutsy on the MTV Video Music Awards red carpet. She showed up to the red carpet wearing absolutely no makeup. I am not sure if you saw the photo or not.We are not talking about the so called “no-makeup makeup”, which people use makeup to produce a natural look! 绝对不是所谓的裸妆，她是真的就木有化妆。 围观群众和记者就凌乱了，这是个什么情况，难道最新流行又变了？！ 这么隆重的场合，别的女明星又打针 又整容 又敷面膜，恨不得芭芭拉小魔仙变身！ 可是，Alicia竟然素颜出镜！ Why? Alicia 在一次采访中提到，她曾经也是不化妆出门会感动十分焦虑的。 但有一天，她要去拍新专辑的封面。She said: “I'd just come from the gym, had a scarf under my baseball cap, and the beautiful photographer Paola said, "I have to shoot you right now, like this! The music is raw and real, and these photos have to be too!"” 于是，摄影师就给了拍了一组素颜的封面照。没想到效果非常好！Alicia说 I swear it is the strongest, most empowered, most free, and most honestly beautiful that I have ever felt. 从那开始Alicia在很多场合就不再化妆了。 She wrote in a letter that one of the many things I was tired of was the constant judgment of women. The constant stereotyping(把···模式化) through every medium（中等的） that makes us feel like being a normal size is not normal, and heaven forbid if you’re plus-size. Or the constant message that being sexy means being naked. All of it is so frustrating and so freakin’ impossible. 这次Alicia 虽然没有化妆，但举手投足之间充满了自信。 事后，也有很多人批评她说，出席这么重要的场合不化妆是对别人的不尊重，说她看起来很没有精神！ 但是，为什么女孩不化妆就是对别人的不尊重呢？为什么男人不化妆就没有问题呢？是不是我们的思想都被一些所谓的常识禁锢了呢？ Actually, to wear makeup or not to wear makeup is a personal choice. If you like to wear makeup or you feel better when you are wearing makeup, then do it. If it makes you feel good, why not? But if you just do not want to wear makeup. Totally fine! No one has the right to judge you. What do you think of Alicia Keys's action? Are you judged by other people?
失眠insomnia是一件十分痛苦的事情，经历过的人一定了解，想睡睡不着，又很没有精神的感觉。 为了克服insomnia，我们今天就来讲讲如何才能拥有一个完美的睡眠。 Shawn Stevenson is a clinical nutritionist in the U.S. In his new book Sleep Smarter he mentions some ways to help people get a good night sleep. PUT YOUR DESK NEXT TO A WINDOW This is because the amount of sunlight you receive during the day has a big impact on your circadian system. Simply put, when you get more sunlight exposure in the day, and less at night, you’re on your way to a sleep formula that really works. 白天多晒晒太阳可能会让你的生物钟更有规律哦Getting direct sunlight outdoors for at least half an hour has been shown to produce the most benefit. 每天至少要晒半个小时太阳，千万不要总是待在屋子里，记得出来走走。CAN COFFEE HELP YOU SLEEP BETTER?咖啡因可以提神。所以如果你每天习惯喝咖啡和茶的话，一定要控制好时间。 So, set a caffeine curfew to make sure your body has time to remove most of it from your system before bedtime. For most people that’s generally going to be before 2p.m. Be careful of your Alarm我们每个人的睡眠都会有一个周期性的时间。According to this book, your sleep cycles typically last for 90 minutes each and repeat four to six times per night. 我们的一夜的睡眠其实是由几个循环构成的。一次循环大致90分钟，一晚上大约4-6个循环。 这就解释了这样一种现象，Even if you get a full night’s sleep, you can still wake up feeling tired if your alarm goes off during the middle of a cycle. 如果你的闹钟正好在一个睡眠循环的中间响了的话，很可能即使你睡了很长时间还是觉得累。 Instead, set your alarm so that it goes off in accordance with these sleep cycles instead of the standard ‘eight hours of sleep’. For example, if you go to sleep at 10 pm., set your alarm for 5:30 a.m, and you’ll likely find that you feel more refreshed than if you set it for 6 am. GOING NAKED COULD BOOST YOUR SLEEP Your body’s sleep cycles are heavily influenced by something called thermoregulation(体温调节). When it’s time to rest, there is an automatic drop in your core body temperature to help initiate sleep. 当人需要睡觉休息的时候，人的核心身体温度会自动下降一些。 If the temperature in your environment stays too high, it can hard to reach the ideal state for restful sleep. Studies have shown that insomniacs tend to have a significantly warmer body temperature than normal right before bed, though exactly why is unclear. 所以，如果你没办法控制室内的温度 也不想开空调的话，不如就裸睡吧！ 裸睡有很多好处啊 If you and your partner both sleep in the nude, you can get the benefits of the anti-stress hormone oxytocin. Also known as the ‘cuddle hormone’ 拥抱荷尔蒙, it has a calming effect and helps promote sleep. 和爱人一起裸睡更健康呢。你平时会裸睡吗？还是一定要穿睡衣睡觉。 你有什么帮助睡眠的小秘方吗？留言告诉我们吧！Talk to you next time!
今天我们要说的这个dumb其实两种意思都有一点。People do dumb things.I did dumb things before, and will do dumb things in the future.Recently, the TV host Jimmy Fallon started a trend on twitter.They tweet the dumb things they did with hastag“ImDumb”于是，好多人开始在网上发自己做过的蠢事。这些dumb things 既蠢又让人哑口无言。我们一起看看外国人都做过哪些蠢事吧：Hikmat said:” I was looking for my phone using same phone as a flashlight #ImDumb”呃~~~ 我貌似也干过类似的事情，我那次是直接拿着手机给自己打电话...Yafet G said “ #ImDumb I once waited in line at Macys behind a mannequin（人体模型） for 15minutes thinking it was a person.这确实很蠢啊~~~Jones said “Once spent 10 min lookin for my glasses, got pissed, had to piss, went in the bathroom, glanced in the mirror and saw I was wearing them #ImDumb”眼镜党的悲桑有谁懂？Victoria Phillips shared that “When I was younger, I genuinely believed that a hundred years ago everything was actually black-and-white, like the movies.”Chelsea Baker said :I emailed my landlord to ask her for her email. #imdumb”Ash's Absent Father said “I tried to pinch and enlarge a picture with my fingers, while looking at a magazine. #ImDumb”看到这么多人做过这么多蠢事 我就安心了。哈哈你有没有做过什么把自己蠢哭了的事情呢分享给我们听听吧Talk to you next time!
Bully 已经成为各国校园中的一个让人十分头疼的现象。 很多在学生时代被bully的人，成年后都会或多或少的留下心理阴影。 今天我们要讲的这个男孩 就是bully的受害者。 The thirteen-year-old boy named Danny Fitzpatrick. 他在纽约布鲁克林的一所中学上学。 And his battle with bullies was so severe that it resulted in the decision to take his own life. 这个男孩用极端的方式结束了自己被Bully的生活。 He hanged himself at home and left behind a heartbreaking note. 在他留下的书信中，这个13岁的男孩说： "I am writing this letter to tell about my experience in Holy Angels Catholic Academy. At first it was good . . . lots of friends, good grades and great life. But I moved（搬走了） and went back but it was different. My old friends changed, they didn't talk to me they didn't even like me." 在此前，他搬过一次家，离开了原来的学校一段时间。后来他又回到了这个学校。却发现一切都变了，他之前的朋友对他的态度不一样了。 The bullies would follow him after school, taunting (嘲弄，辱骂) him and urging him to fight them. His mother, Maureen, said "My son's not a fighter… … My son just wanted some friends. He needed a friend. Even one friend, I think he would have been OK." 其实，在儿子出事以前，他的父亲曾经到学校找校长讨论这件事情。 但他父亲表示” All we got was, 'He'll be fine. Is he in counseling? You have to try harder Danny. . . . These things will pass; children can be such horrible creatures.” 不管是什么原因，一个这么小的孩子选择这么极端的方式来应对被bully这件事，真的让人十分心痛。 你生活中有没有遇到这种状况？ 或者你看到别人遇到这种被bully的情况 你觉得应该怎么解决呢？

今天我们要说的这个Dispatcher是在警察局接警中心工作的接线员。 In the United States, a 5-year-old boy made a heartbreaking call to the police telling the dispatcher that “my daddy and my mama got shot.” 今年早些时候，美国田纳西警方接到一个报警电话。 打电话过来的就是这个5岁的小男孩。 Later, the police released the audio to the public. 电话录音的内容是这样的： “My daddy and my mama got shot, ~~~ You say your papa and mom doing what? My mama and my daddy got shot. They got into a fighting? No What’s your address? I don’t know. Do you know who did it? You just came home? Where were you? I was at home. Is there anybody with you? No. Can you tell officers to come? I got them on the way to you now ok? So what did they do? Did somebody come to the house? ~~~ You say they were in the backyard? Ha? They were in the backyard? Yes. Will you tell them to come? Yes, they are coming now, just stay on the phone with me. Are they talking to you? No, they are dead. ” 等警察赶到小男孩的家里之后发现，他的父母已经没有了生命迹象。 And they say the child is unharmed and is currently with extended family. The boy remained on the phone with the dispatcher for more than a minute, as she repeatedly reassured(使安心)him that help was on the way. 据报道，这个男孩的父亲是黑帮成员。 但至于为何被人枪杀 尚未可知。 I really don’t know how is boy when he saw his parents' death at home.

天我们要讲的这个devastate的人，是一个想要跟女友求婚的男孩。 His name is Picca. When Picca planned on proposing(求婚) to his girlfriend Kayla. I bet he didn't imagine it going like this. Picca准备向自己心爱的人求婚，于是要求她去他们最喜欢的一家餐厅。 He planned to pop the question at their favorite restaurant, which is right by the water. When he got down on one knee on the dock(码头) and opened the ring box, the worst possible thing happened — the ring fell out and sunk into the ocean. 鼓足勇气单膝下跪后，刚把戒指盒子拿出来，万万没想到，戒指跳出盒子，一个优雅的转身，落入大海！ 当时新娘就愣住了！ 她说：“I covered my face and began to cry because I knew my boyfriend was devastated，he did not even get to say anything to me before the ring fell into the ocean." 这个准新郎当时估计也是万念俱灰，万劫不复，万分丢脸，万万没想到啊…… But 就在此时， Their friends and strangers all jumped into the water with their clothes on and searched for the ring in the ocean. 找戒指找了一个小时左右，the ring was finally recovered by a man named Kyle. 戒指找回来了，婚还得接着求啊。 Picca reassumed his kneeling position and proposed. And of course, the girl said YES. 事后周围的人都非常非常开心，Picca也说：“They were amazing and we are so grateful to have their help that night." 话说，这小伙子求个婚也是不容易啊。 顺便插一句，各位男同学要向Picca学习啊，结婚之前一定要求婚，哪怕戒指掉进海里，也要捞出来接着求。 就像Megan Trainer的歌里唱的： Dear future husband, Just be a classy guy Buy me a ring You gotta know how to treat me like a lady Even when I'm acting crazy
Get More out of Listening When most students listen to a native English-speaker, they focus on understanding what all the words mean. 这个当然也很重要。 但除此之外，Try listening not just to what the words mean, but to how the person says them. 看看他们把哪些词连起来说了，哪些词着重读出来了，语气语调是什么样的。 Easier said than done, right? 但不要担心，多多听我们的节目，经过一段时间的积累，你的听力一定会有很大的进步，听力好了之后，模仿起来就更加容易了。 6. Use It or Lose It There’s an expression in English: “Use it or lose it,” which basically means if you don’t practice an ability, you might forget it. 记住一个单词最好的办法就是马上使用它。When you learn a new word, try to say it in sentences a few times over the next week and you’ll never forget it. 我们每期都会给出例句，一定要多念几遍例句哦。 7. Try not to Study Grammar Too Much Speaking English fluently isn’t the same as knowing perfect English grammar – even native English-speakers make grammar mistakes! 英语是母语的人也会出现语法错误，所以不用太担心。 Fluency is about being able to communicate. 沟通，能够理解对方在说什么才是最最重要的 8. Don’t Be Afraid of Making Mistakes 千万不要怕犯错！ Don’t let the fear of saying something wrong stop you from speaking at all. Even if you think you’re making a mistake, keep speaking anyway. 即使你的口语里有错误，只要别人理解你的意思就无所谓的。 又不是考试填空。 Plus, the more you speak, the easier it gets, and the more quickly the right words will come to mind. 希望大家都能练成一口流利的英语口语。 如果有什么问题我们一起交流讨论哦。 Talk to you next time!
Here are some tips that will help you speak English better than ever. 1. Accept That English Is a Weird Language 你要先知道英语真的是一种奇怪的语言 Sometimes you can find patterns in English grammar, but other times English doesn’t make sense at all. 语法这种东西若有若无，无法捉摸。 Sometimes English is just weird and unexplainable(无法解释). So a good memory is very useful when talking about learning English. 2. Practice makes perfect 每周花一天时间拼命的学几个小时英语并不会让你的口语有很大的提高。 The better way to quickly improve your English is to spend at least a few minutes practicing every day. If you want to speak English fluently, you need to make it an essential part of your daily life. 比如，你可以每天听听英语悠选的节目，然后跟着读一读。 3. You are an English speaker. Stop thinking of yourself as someone who is learning English, and start thinking of yourself as someone who speaks English. 遇到自己会说的英语时，就堂堂正正的讲出来，自信对于学英语来说非常非常非常重要。 This also means you need to start thinking in English. 比如你看到公交车，你可能需要先在脑子里获取中文然后再找寻对应的英文。 这种中文转化为英文的过程，也会影响英语的熟练程度。 Instead, try imagining a picture of a bus, and then just think the English word “bus”. 这很难，也需要很多时间。 Real fluency happens when you stop mentally translating conversations. 4. Remember the Answer Is in the Question 答案就在问题里 If someone asks you a question and you’re not sure how to answer, start by thinking about the words used in the question. For example: • Does he…..? Yes, he does. • Can she….? Yes, she can. • Is it….? Yes, it is. 问问题的人其实就把答案给你了，只要你认真听并且能记住他说了什么？ 考试的时候这一招超级管用。 There are a lot of simple ways and you can make good use of them to make it easier to remember the right words. 这期先说到这里， 下期接着聊！ Talk to you next time!

今天我们就来讲讲前任， 如果你的前任要结婚了，要不要去参加Ta的婚礼呢？ Should you go to your ex’s wedding? It is debatable, so let’s talk! For those who will go to their ex’s wedding: Why not? If your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend invites you to his or her wedding, you definitely should say yes! But there are different tips. If you still see him as a friend, just go to the wedding as a friend. 如果你俩还是朋友的话，去参加朋友的婚礼很正常啊， 送去你的祝福，还能在婚礼上跟好久不见的其他朋友聊聊天。 But if you just hate him, you should go to the wedding as well. Put on your most sexy beautiful outfit, bring you brightest smile with you. 不要怕别人所谓的闲言碎语，Be yourself。 前任的婚礼是证明自己没有他过的也很好的一个非常好的机会！ But for those who don’t want to attend ex’s wedding. If somebody tells you that you can still be friend with your ex. He is lying! No one can be friend with their ex, no one! 跟前任还是好朋友？ 别开玩笑了！ You were in love with her or him, but both of you have to move on. 分手即为陌路人，可能过了几年偶尔还会见到，到时候打个招呼，问个好就足够了。 不必纠缠。 So there is no reason to go to the wedding if you two are no longer friend. Right? And think about it, if you are there in the wedding ceremony, your mutual friends will definitely ask you about your feelings. It is annoying!
