I don't think it's a...it's a...an effective way, because we have built zoos, it's not their natural habitat. It's a...basically became cage animals. They are different from their wild life counterparts. So it's a way to preserve animals that's going extinct, like pandas, where they... it's hard for them to exist in the wild because, you know, evolution. But I do not think that effective is the right word to use. I think it is sometimes the last resort that we, you know, choose for extreme circumstances.
Well, first you have...have good genetics, meaning it's likely if you want to live longer, your...your families have a long living history as well. That's one of the most important secret. The other secret is like, just lead a normal, healthy life. Do not do substance abuses. Do not, you know, stay up long at night. Do not get angry easily or being in an environment that you can easily get irritated. So generally don't live in a toxic environment. And yeah, overall with these elements, you are likely to live longer. Even if your genetics is normal, is average, if you don't abuse substance, if you lead a healthy life, you will live longer.
Well, of course, living the life to the fullest is definitely good. However, well, that's philosophically the best way, but to fulfill the...the idea of living the life to the fullest requires what I just said before, which is, you know, you shouldn't substance...abuse substance, which will definitely lead you to be a miserable life and not live to the fullest one that you want. And you...you need to...to not live in a toxic environment, which will definitely not give you a fullest life that you want. So I think they're interconnected and pretty much the same thing in the end. So I...I would generally agree with what you said that, you know, we always want to live the life to the fullest is the secret to longevity.
Yeah, definitely. Yeah it...it really depends on your mindset. If you are in the mood of reading something leisure...leisurely and not worried about, you know, making...make every inch of the time to be used for making your career progress, then definitely. But sometimes, even especially for young people, it's hard to have mindset to, you know, read something leisurely. But if you do have enough time and money and you're on travel, of course it's so entertaining to have a book in the airport and read. Let your mind wander around. That's such a beautiful, beautiful experience. So thank you for the suggestion.
In this part, I'm going to give you a topic I would liking you to talking about it from 1-2 minutes. Before you talks, you will having 1 minute to think about what you are going to say. You can bring a pencil right next to you for make notes. I would like you to describing an old friends that you got in contact again. You shouldn't say who she or she is, what he or she is like, how you got in contact and explain how you felt about it. Your 1 minute preparation starts from now. Alright, remember you have 1-2 minutes for this. I will tell you when the time is up. Can you start speaking now please?
Well, that's totally true. I mean, they can face unemployment for sure. But the...the company should take the responsibility of continuously training the workers to be able to adapt to the new technologies, new automation skills, so that they can participate in these digital transformation processes and actually increase their productivity, increase their wages. But companies must choose this option. I mean, most companies should have the obligation to choose this option over just firing those workers because they can be easily replaced. And that's an important social dilemma.
When and not where? I usually read books at home. Sometimes I go to libraries to read books. And overall, nowadays, I read more and more on computers, although it's quite hard to...to stay focused with a electronic device to read books, because there are so many distractions and you want to click on social media, you want click on the messaging apps. And it...I would personally prefer if I really want to read something deep, I would just pick up a book, go somewhere else, go into the library, go into somewhere that other people don't see, and really start reading.
Yeah, I would like to share the feeling of reading books to others because, you know, it's more motivating and I think sharing is a...a very natural human instinct because you will feel motivated and you find meanings in sharing with others. Otherwise, if the knowledge is just in yourself, not disseminated to others, it's quite lonely and for most people it's unbearable to not share information or knowledge to others. So it's really a good choice to share your knowledge with others.
Yes, I...I...I would say actually not often go to zoos, but I occasionally go to zoos. I kind of enjoy it and really depends on like how much the zoo managers dedicate their...their time to enrich the experience of the visitors. Some zoos are just have, you know, sporadic animals spreading around the zoos, so you just take a look and the environment is dirty. So in this case I don't really like the zoos, but there are other zoos where, you know, it's...there's...it's a plethora of...of animals and you can really see them enjoying their lives. And sometimes there are some entertainment activities within the zoos which can increase you know your experience as a visitor and also this could be controversial, but if there are some...if there are some performance with that you know performance by the animals like tigers and they're just doing some difficult tasks with the human trainer, although some people would argue that's unethical and inhumane to train the animals this way because they must have experienced very harsh treatment in order to achieve that level of...of performance behavior, but I still think that as a visitor from a visitor's perspective it's a perfect zoo experience.
Well, how often? I would go to the zoos maybe every year and that's it cause there's no incentive to...if you're not moving to another city, there's no meaning to repeatedly go to the same zoo in a city cause it's usually constantly stay the same. And even if you go to the other cities, which is not too often in my case, you...the zoos oftentimes won't be the first choice. And that's also the case if you go to the big cities, if you go to a smaller city, or the countryside, or you just want to go to a remote place to see the landscapes, then it's unlikely that you will go to zoos. So overall, people are less...have the less tendency to go to zoos. So it's not that often, I would say, overall, on average for the general population.
Benefit of visiting zoos and museum is that you can understand...you can gain more knowledge about the...the...the animals, a variety of kinds of animals, and you can see that we as humans actually live a much different life than these animals, which in tens of thousands or millions of years ago, which is not too many years over the span of the Earth or over the span of the entire universe, you can see that many, many years ago we probably all lived in the wild and have to experience the life without much organization, without much purpose, but now we live such a different life and you can see a difference perspective from...and how the Mother Earth involves and how randomness actually, in fact, can make an impact on how different things live in different lives.
Yeah, I now need to describe a part of the city or town that I enjoy playing...playing...spending time with. Well, I would say here in around in the New York City metropolitan area, I would enjoy going to the Lincoln Park tennis court where there are more than 20 courts and I play a lot of tennis there. And in this case, I really, you know, where it is, it's in Jersey City right across the Hudson River to the...to the Manhattan and it's about 15 to 20 minutes drive from my home where I...where is I live in Jersey City. And what I do there is I talk to, I usually, you know, play tennis with my friends and that on the one hand, it will increase my tennis skills and bring a lot of enjoyment to my life. And on the other hand, I can, you know, increase the bond with my friends. And that is a totally enjoyable place for me. And I've been there the first time...since the first time I moved to New York City.
Yeah, I've told other people about this place, of course. What they told me this time... No, I'm sorry. I've told other people about this place, of course. And I've recommended my friends who are playing tennis to this place. But in...in some sense, I...I...I don't tell everyone cause I don't want the tennis court to be inundated with...with people playing tennis that I don't really know. And I myself cannot find a place to play. So, yep.
How do public places change in...in towns and cities? Well, it really mostly depend on the collective will of the community, and if they...if they think that those facilities should...should exist, then...and those exist...facilities are helping them live a better life, then they would have the tendency to keep that place. And on the other hand, you know, if they don't like this place, we will probably have the proposal to change the facilities. And for example, if it's a...a playground and there are no longer a lot of child...kids playing around there, or young people playing around there, then the older people who are dominating the community will propose to build some public place, public facilities that's more friendly, user friendly to the older people. And yeah, that's basically it.
Huh, that's an interesting question. What public place do older people usually visit? I actually don't know too much about where old people visit. Well, I think religious places are one of the most common places...destination...destinations for old people. Because, you know, I mean, here in the US people go to church a lot. And in China, some old people I see will go to the temples. And if they are Christians, they also go to church a lot. Because for old people, they don't work anymore. They want to find some spiritual experience that they can find meaning life. And church or religious places would be a very good place for them to go.
Why do young people like to go to public places? Well, it's a great place for them to aggregate and socialize. And humans are...are mostly, you know, like to aggregate with each other and communicate with each other. Otherwise, especially for young people, they want to socialize with...with their peers and they may play sports there, which can not only make them enjoy the sport themselves more because they're playing in a team, playing against others, they can also increase the bond between these people. And yeah, young...young people mostly would not stay at home all day long. They want to go out and play and socialize.
Will more people move to cities in the future? I think the general answer is yes. Like the most extreme example as far as I know is Asian...Asian...East Asian cities like Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou. I mean, somehow East Asian people like to congregate and...and in the...they...they do move to the big cities. And I believe in Japan and in South Korea, the urbanization rate has already been over 80%. And in China right now, it's about 60 to 70% of the urbanization rate. And the rate is continuing to climb up. And that's one of the hope that the government want that can...that...that will continue to...to push the economy growth to higher level. And as far as I know, in other parts of the world, for developing countries such as in...in Africa, they are also doing rapid urbanization. And that's part of their economic growth...part of engine of their economic growth.
Yes, many years ago my brother don't likes...don't likes learn to English and I think she's not right. Then I told him, you must learn English well, then you can go abroad and pass the exam. In our high scores, it's a ... way to go into good college and she should learn English well to improve himself. A boy learn English well is very cool, so she should learn English good well. And he listen... listened to my languages and she started to go read English book and watch English TV. She...then he got high scores in exam and he is very happy. She tell me...he tell me he will learn English continually, so my family was very...my family was very happy because his progress.
First of all, childhood may be important for them. When they are children, they feel a lot of burden from their parents, from their grandparents, even from their...even from their friends. On the other hand...on the other hand, I think they may be very tired now. And they want to go back because when they are children, they never feel nervous or feel tired. Because I...she thinks she or he thinks that was the best time for them. I...I think I may be sometimes always memorize my childhood too. So I think that was the biggest reason.
Maybe not, but I think...but I...because they have a difference point for their happier. For kids, they...they don't need to think too much for themselves because their parents will give their...will give their enough money to keep their life and they can feel a lot of love from their parents. But for adults, it always have their hobbies and they can...and they can make them happy by themselves. So I think their difference. They have...both of them have their happiness.
As for me, the best place for me is the restaurant. Because when you...when I need to meet with my friends, I will choose...choose my favorite restaurant to eat with them. And I reckon that when you eating, you will feel relaxed. And when you eat the delicious food, you will...you...you will feel...you will feel over the moon, and so are your...so are my friends. So the restaurant is the best place of... for me.
Undoubtably, taking regular breaks during work or studies of paramount importance and has multifaceted benefits that span cognitive function, creativity, productivity, mental wellness and physical health. To begin with, let's delve into the cognitive...cognitive and productivity aspects. The human brain, sophisticated as it is, wasn't designed for extended periods of intense focus in cognitive processing. Research such as the study by DeskTime, one of the most productive employee productivity tracking software companies, suggests that the most productive people work for 52 minutes and then take a break for 17 minutes.
Any reason behind this? Well, popular music are just, you know, they're popular so I've more chance to expose myself to this music and my inclination, my tendency is to like a song more when I listen to that song more. So, yeah, naturally I like popular songs. But for classical music, I think it gives you a state of mind where if you...if you tranquil...tranquil and, you know, the state of mind is really peace and calm and that makes me happier.
Well, it...it really depends on your definition of artist. If an artist is just, you know, draw something, make something that can be exhibited in a...in a art gallery, then no, I don't really want to be an artist, but if artists is embedded in everyday life, I would say all the...all the skills like how to persuade others, how to lead people, how to inspire yourself, how to motivate yourself, how to think about a new product. These are all art in essence. So in this sense, I do want to be an artist.
Yeah the activity I relished most during my free time when I was young was reading. I was fortunate to have a small library near my house which became my sanctuary. My brother and I would go there at least once a week carrying home armloads of books that we'd devour over the coming days. Our reading interests were diverse ranging from fantasy and adventure novels to books on science, history and biographies of inspiring individuals. We were insatiable and the library's vast collection never disappointed us. Sometimes we'd get so engrossed in our books that we'd spend entire afternoons reading in the library itself, losing track...track of time amidst the stacks. I immensely enjoyed these...this activity for several reasons. First, reading transported me to different worlds, allowed me to experience diverse perspectives and...and ignited my imagination. I found this both entertaining and intellectually stimulating. Secondly, it was a shared experience with my brother and our discussions about the books we read brought us closer. Lastly, reading fostered my curiosity and love of learning which has remained with me throughout my life. Looking back, those afternoons spent reading were not only enjoyable but also played a significant role in shaping who I am today.
The landscape of activities available for young people has undeniably undergone substantial transformation over the past two decades, with advancements in technology, globalization, and societal attitude playing significant roles in this evolution. Overall, the opportunities for engagement in entertainment and education available to young people today are arguably more diverse and abundant than they were 20 years ago. Well firstly, the digital revolution has significantly expanded the range of activities available for young people. The advent of the internet and…and subsequent explosion of digital technologies has led to a proliferation of online activities that were simply not possible 20 years ago. Today…today's youth can engage in an array of online gaming experiences, participate in various social media platforms, enroll in e-learning courses, develop skills through online tutorials, collaborate on digital projects, and much more. Furthermore, the ubiquity of smartphones has enabled young people from…to access information, communicate, and engage in activities anywhere…anytime, anywhere. This has not only made a broader range of activities accessible but also created new ones, for instance, augmented reality games like Pokemon Go and…or the trend of vlogging. Secondly, globalization and advancement in transport or communication technologies has…have made international travel more accessible, allowing young people to engage in activities like study abroad programs, international volunteer work, and youth exchange programs. In the sphere of education and skill development, there are more opportunities than ever before. From coding camps, makerspaces, entrepreneurship programs, to art workshops, there is a wealth of resources available for young people to explore their interests and talents, and these are continuously expanding. Moreover, societal attitudes towards youth activities have also evolved. There is a growing recognition of the importance of youth engagement in civic activities, leading to more opportunities for young people to get involved in community service, activism, and leadership roles. Likewise, the acceptance and…and encouragement of diverse interests and identities have led to a broader range of clubs and organizations that cater to different passions and backgrounds. That said, it’s crucial to note that access to these growing opportunities is not equally distributed. Factors such as socioeconomic status, geographical location, and internet access can significantly impact the range of activities accessible to young people. In conclusion, the last 20 years have seen a significant increase in diversification in the activities available to young people. This is largely driven by technology…technological advancements, globalization, and shiftments in societal attitudes. However…however, efforts should continue to ensure that all young people, regardless of their circumstances, can benefit from the growing range of opportunities for engagement, growth, and development.
In countries like the United States, for example, achieving a work-life balance can be quite challenging. Long working hours, minimal vacation time, and the blurring lines between work and personal life due to the rise of remote work can impede work-life balance. A report by the OECD showed that the United States ranked 30 out of 38 countries in terms work-life balance as of 2020. On the other hand, countries like Denmark, Finland, and the Netherland often rank high on the work-life balance indices, thanks to supportive labor laws, a culture that value leisure and family time, and widespread flexible working practices. However, even in countries with favorable conditions, achieving work-life balance can still be challenging due to factors such as personal work habits, the nature of one's jobs, or societal expectations. For instance, individuals in high-stress professions or those who face societal or...or internal pressure to prioritize work over personal life might struggle with work-life balance, regardless of supportive policies or norms. Moreover, work-life balance doesn't solely depend on working hours. It also encompasses the ability to enjoy quality leisure time and maintain mental and physical health. Over… overwork, stress and burnout can occur even in flexible working conditions if individuals don't manage their workloads or stress levels effectively, or if their leisure time is not truly restorative. In conclusion, while certain environments, policies, and practices can facilitate work-life balance, whether most people can achieve this balance is nuanced and depends on a myriad of factors. Achieving work-life balance is a multifaceted issue requiring a combination of supportive policies, workplace culture…culture change, and individual strategies for managing work and personal life demands. Given the complexity and individuality of this issue, it's challenging to make a broad generalization about the ability of most people to achieve work-life balance in any given country.
For adults, the amount of leisure time often depends on their employment status, working hours, and personal responsibilities. Many adults, particularly those working full-time or juggling multiple jobs, may find their leisure time squeezed. This issue is particularly pronounced in countries with longer working hours and less supportive work-life balance policies. Also, adults with considerable family responsibilities, such as caring for children or elderly relatives, may have less leisure time. Moreover, with the rise of remote work and technology use, the boundaries between work and leisure have blurred for many people. It can be challenging to switch off from work, with emails, calls, and messages can be accessed at all times, leading to the encroachment of work into leisure time. For children, school, homework, and extracurricular activities can take up a significant portion of their day. Some argue that children today face more academic pressure and structured activities than previous generations, potentially reducing their unstructured leisure time. Additionally, the increased use of technology, particularly screen time, has changed the nature of children's leisure activities, raising concerns about physical health and…and social skills. However, it is important to note that not all work or school time is devoid of enjoyment, and not all leisure time is necessarily relaxing or fulfilling. The quality of leisure time matters as much as, if not more than, the quantity. Leisure activities that provide relaxation, enjoyment, and opportunities for personal growth and…and social connections contribute more to overall well-being. Societal trends suggest that the struggle to find sufficient time for quality leisure activities is common…is a common challenge. To address this, individuals and families can consider strategies such as setting boundaries for work time, prioritizing leisure activities that provide the most fulfillment, and striving for efficiency in necessary but time-consuming activities. In conclusion, whether adults or children have enough time for leisure activities nowadays is dependent on a myriad of factors, with many individuals and families facing challenges in this regard. Balancing work or school personal responsibilities and leisure time is a complex task that require ongoing attention and adaptability. Alright.
Last week, me and my friend goes camping in mountains. We bring tents and sleeping bags. The weather was nice and we hikes in the forest. We seed many birds and squirrel. We take lots of picture. At night, we make a campfire and roasted marshmallow. It was so fun. In the morning, we waked up early to watch the sunrise. It was breathtaking. Then we eated breakfast and went fishing in the river, my friend catches a big trout. We laughed and enjoy our time together. Before we leave, we cleaned up the campsite. It was an amazing trip.
Me and my sister goes to the store yesterday. We buy some fruits and vegetables. I seen the sales on the apple so I buy a bag of them. My sister choose some orange. Then we go to checkout counter. The cashier give us our our total where we... I paid with cash. After that we talk to...walk to the park we plays on the swing and climb on the jungle gym. I fall offs the slide but it wasn't hurt. We had so much fun. Later, we eat our snacks on bench. I have a banana and my sister eat an apple. It was a tasty treat. We walk...walked back home before it gets dark. It was a great day.
I enjoy the teamwork and camaraderies around my teammates. We practices regularly and work hard to improve our skill. I have participated in many tournaments and winned several trophies. The feeling of victory is so satisfy...satisfying. Soccer teaches me discipline, perseverance, sportsmanships. It also helps me to keep fit and healthy. I have dreams of becoming a professional soccer player someday. I believe that with dedication and determination, I can achieve my goal. Soccer is the best sport ever.
Let me tell you about my favorite book, The Mystery of Magics. This books is truly amazing. It is a story about a young wizard named Alex who discovered a hidden world of magic. The author, Lisa Johnson, created a vivid and enchanting universe. The characters in the book is so well-developed and relatables. Alex encounter many challenges and goes on a thrilling adventure. I love how the story unfolds and keep you hooked from the start. The description of the magic creature and places is so imaginative. I couldn't put the book down once I started reading it. The plots twisted is unexpectedly keeps you guessing. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasies and magics. It's a must read.
Let me tell you about my favorite cuisine, Italians food. This is absolutely delicious. Italian cuisine is known for its richest flavor and mouth-watering dishes. The pastas, pizza, and risotto are amongst my favorites. When I eats Italian food, I feel like I'm in food heaven. The combination of fresh ingredients, herbs, and spicy creates a burst of flavor in every bite. I enjoy the creamy alfredo sauce and the fettuccine. And the tangy tomato sauce on spaghetti. The pizza with their thin crust and various toppings simply amazing.
The Broadway show was so entertaining and the performances was top notch. I strolled through the neighbourhoods like Greenwich Village and Chinatown and tasted the diverse cuisine of that...the city offered. The museums and art galleries were so fascinating. And I learned so much about history and culture. New York City truly has a unique energy and it is hard to describe. It is a place where dream come true and end this possibility await. You...if you have the chance, I highly recommend visiting incredible city. Please note that text intentionally contains multiple grammar error for illustrative purpose.
I would like you to describe a time when you encouraged someone to do something that he or she did not want to do. You should say who he or she is, what you encouraged him or she to do, how he and she reacted and explain why you encouraged him or her to do it. Your one minute preparation starts from now. In this part I'm going to give you a topic and I would like you to talk about it for one or two minutes. Before you talk, you will have one two minutes to think about what you're going to say.
It really depends. I mean, it depends on parents thinking, and if they can ensure that the children can have a environment where he or she can cook safely, then of course we can... the parents can go ahead and teach the child how to cook. There's never a a definitively appropriate age, but if I had to give a ballpark, I would say after age eight children should be able to have enough power to use the utensils to to cook. And of course parents should watch with their watchful eyes and not...
Why do I think so? That's a repetitive question, I think. I just think, I mean, after eight years old, I think it's two, three of the second grade or third grade. So based on my experience as a child, I was able to lift things that, most things that adults could lift. So I could also, I would be able to distinguish and read different tags and know what ingredients to cook. And I think that's a good experience for me to, you know, cook with my parents and enhance the rela...
Well, in Chinese culture, food is so important. Different regions have their own various food and there's a plethora of food as... for the country as a whole. And even for the entire world, like for the country, the United States where I'm living right now, the Chinese food is one of the most popular food types and it's really very influential. So I would say the Chinese people has created a deep culture about, you know, eating, about food. So the answer to your question is yes, of course.
Well, actually to reverse some of the points that I made earlier, when I think deep about it, I believe nowadays there are more fast food, more processed food that's more accessible at lower expenses for people. So people do have the option to eat more unhealthy if they don't have enough self-control. But on the other hand, there are much more healthy and affordable food and fruits available for people. So I think for the vast majority people with the knowledge that they can eat more healthy as well.
Well that's a once in a lifetime, or be more specific, once in a day chance to connect with a family and close the gap about what's happening in each other's life of the entire day. Without these, you know, sync with each other during dinner, the parents may miss out what's going on for the child's life and the child will not understand what the parents are thinking and worried about or happy about. So it is quite important to have a dinner and this also indicates that there's a very harmonious family relationship there.
So when I was young, about 10 or 11 years old, so my father liked to go trip a lot. So he took me to the mountains and I sit at the back of the bicycle and she drive me to the mountains. And it's in the autumn, so there's a lot of beautiful signs out there. The leaves is yellow and red. And we take a really long way to the mountains and after that we climb the mountain. We have a good picnic at there. Then when we come back, it start raining. It’s really heavy rain. So we we we have to find a place to hide and it was really late in the night and it also on the mountain, so it's a little bit danger, but because my father with me, so I feel pretty good. But after that, when I getting a little bit older, he told me at that time he really afraid so…because it's in the mountain. So there… there's a chance that some bad guy would rob us. So he’s really conscious about that and he he even prepared to call the police to pick us up. But I have a really great time at that time. I don't know anything. I just enjoy the great sign and the happy hour with my family, with my father.
Well, that's definitely a very good question. Classic literature, it really involves, like, what's the definition of classic literature? Is J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter classic literature? Probably from today's perspective, it's still contemporary, but maybe 50 or 100 years from now, it will be a classic literature. But nevertheless, the society is changing so fast, there's an explosion of information on the Internet. And to add on that, even worse, the large language model, the chat GPT, maybe can generate so much more information. And I've also heard about auto GPT, which are like different GPTs roleplay each other and ask each other questions and just give prompt to each other. So with that is an enormous potential of new information being generated, and I'm not sure whether those, you know literature now will become classic in the future.
I think it's quite critical to have a break during work and study because there are so many issues, so many reasons why we want have a break between work and study. And you never know if you just study you will feel that yourself is very tired. And I...I've also seen studies showing that if you study 52 minutes or so and take a rest at around 10 minutes, if you repeat that rhythm you will have the highest efficiency in terms of study...studying. And that's the best approach I would recommend.
I'll tell you...I'll...I'd like to tell you about my hometown Xi'an. I'm know from Xi'an, a inland city in the North China. There are many people all over the world that you can meet and make friends with. The local people are friendly and helpful. If you get lost, you can ask them for help. Xi'an is also a model city with a history of more than 7,000 years, and it's famous for much interesting place, like the Bell Tower. I do, I mean I’m…I’m been the…I am the software engineering in Xi'an. When I graduated from my university, I lived in Xi'an more than 20 years, you know. The question is why you enjoy spend time there? My friends is out there, so I often play with my friends. It's very relaxed. And Xi'an is a big city big city, you know. There are more job opportunities in the big city in Xi'an…like Xi’an. That means you will have more chance…possibility if you want to make more for the friends and know for the culture, you can live in Xi'an. But if I choose my really hometown, is a small city named Shangluo, it’s also have some advantages such as the cost of living is low and the price of life is low. It means you will have more free time to do something you you really like. But but I don't like this city. I just like Xi'an.
The local people in this place is very friendly and helpful, you know. I'm the local people too. I think we all eat the...we all like to eat noodles in there. And and we often climb the the mountains there. So I think the local people...very nice. I...I...I...I told my friends about this place, my foreigner friends from the Korea, Japan and some some from the UK, you know. It's very or nice for me.
Yeah, I like to tell you about the Xingqin Park in Changsha. You know, Xingqin Park is located in the center of Changsha and my friends often go there with... Because my friends told me there is very interesting, you know. He told me he often goes there with his friends and there are many plants and a glass line where they often have picnic in. There is a lake in the center of the park where people often fish, but they...he don't know if anyone... So what? Oh, the Xingqin Park is located in Changsha, the north of China, and..
Maybe it's a weather you know once I travel to the Xiamen, the weather is very bad, you know. It's near the sea but I can't see the sun rise and the sunset in sea. And it's raining day now. It's very boring and make me very sad. Many place I can't go because it's rainy and windy and the sky is not blue, it's just white the reason is it's a rainy day so I think it's very very worse.
Yeah, in the past I was fascinated by outer planet and space. It's really fascinating and interesting. But we must realize that it is really hard and difficult for normal people to explore it. Because you should spend most of time and a large amount of money to explore it. And sometimes we can't afford it. And others like your friends or your parents can't can't understand you. And they can't give you enough support, yeah. And on the other hand, if we if we are so crazy about it, maybe sometimes we would like to go down in the middle of place and take bit is a pass.
I understand what you mean. It's not clear that you...there is any intelligent life out there. And if we really supported and keep the touch with them, it's really dangerous and risk. For example, if they are more powerful than us, and they will defend or just hurt us, and we can't find any way to address the problem. On the other hand, they are more intelligent and wise, so maybe they can find more useful information and maybe counter us. So it is really risk for the whole human and the earth.
Okay, so I'd like to describe the person that impressed me most is that...is my English teacher in my primary school. I have learned English since I was at grade three and at that time I knew her and I remembered she was very elegant woman and at that time especially in her class I was very serious yes and I was very hard working because I liked...I liked English the best and for one time I remember that I had a stomachache and she knew...she knew this happened and then she prepared the stomachache pills for me and accompanied me to the hospital. I think the...my English teacher left me the deep or the deepest impression. The reason is that she was a very kind woman to me and to any other of the students because she did some grateful things for me and second...secondly I thought she was a very...very good teacher, like a friend, and now we have become the...a...a good friend and I become an English teacher as well. So we are the friends and I often come back to the primary school to visit her. That's all.
Oh yeah, definitely. I think the part of my city that I enjoy spending time in is library. The library is near my school and located on the street called Piano Street. It's a really small but topic library. It's surrounded with many stores and shops and schools as well. Many students always go there to read some books or just do their homework. You know, when I was so young, I was a fanatic of reading and I wanted to read all day. But when I got old, I found I spent little time on reading books because of many homeworks and assignments. And I felt I was so stressful and bothered with social media. I think it provided me more opportunities and choices to find more and more choices to make me relax. So it is the best place for me. At that place, I can relieve my stress and lower my uncertainty level. You know, I'm always overwhelmed by clunky and heavy or stressful, confused life and other work. So I want to find an escape from this tough life and can recharge my batteries to lose up my body and mind.
Oh, well definitely. You know, these public place play a key role in changing in towns or cities, yeah, such as the library or museums. They also play the really important role in reaching people's interest and providing many opportunities for them to relax and learn yeah. And secondly, they can...if they want to learn more, they can find some resources in that...in that...in that and which can provide more chance to sharpen their competitive engine and make them separated from the...
Oh, in fact, as I mentioned before, this library is a public place for their old peoples. Many old peoples always went there to read newspaper or just talk about themself. And you know, there is a computer room so that they can go surfing the Internet and browsing the websites yeah. And on the other hand, in many other countries, I think maybe park is another important place for older people. People can go there to do more exercise or to play the chess and just took a walk.
I share with you the new coffee shop that I've come…that I’ve come to realize recently. It's actually located in the school of management and I realized it maybe two weeks ago. And I guess it's a new place in the college and so I…so it’s a…so it's a surprise for me because I really can find a place to take a nap or have a realization or just a quiet place to do some studying. And how often I go there? I guess almost maybe almost three or four times a week because when, you know, because I guess when I don't have the necessary class to attend, I will go that day to do some homework or just to read some book or deal with the files on my laptop. So it can provide you a very quiet environment and you can enjoy the refreshments, the coffee, the…the quite relaxing music and you can focus everything…focus on your studying or walking. I guess it's quite…it’s a good choice for me because in there I can totally immerse in my own world and do my own stuff and, you know, escaping from being disturbed by others. So yeah, so that's why I really like that place. Oh, I guess the…the price of there is very…is very suitable. It agree…it actually agreed with kids.
And own different...different people or their attitude to the coffee. I guess for once in those who really like enjoy the drinks or the coffee, they would...they would go to the coffee shop a lot, of course. And then I guess for those people who want a quiet place to get some relaxation or to study or just they want to find a place to relax, they can also, the...maybe the coffee shop is a good choice for them because it can...because it can provide the quiet or...
Well because...because it's a place that you are not so familiar to, because if you want to stay at home, you have your own bedrooms, your living room everything is so familiar with you, and...and it's much easier for you to be in...being disturb by others or just stop learning and...stop learning and you lye on your bed. But in a coffee...in coffee, you can enjoy the environment and that would of intense. You have to finish all the tasks on time, so that's why I say...that's why.
On different people because we can see that especially in the first city more and more young people they are so used to the coffee and all the such kind things because they need something to get...get themselves awake and they need to something to cheer them up. So I guess for them...for those people then we like to coffee because that's quite useful toys for them to keep in a good mood and efficiency but like the taste or the...and they just don't get it so it's just depend on people.
Yeah, you know, people change. Not that I changed my passion, I didn't. I still love fashion more than anything else. It's just after graduation, I've given myself three years to develop my career, my own brand and doing things I enjoy. I thought that choosing my biggest passion to be my career would be a great idea. But after giving it some times, I actually realized that this might turn something I love into something I don't. It just, after it becomes my task, my daily work, it just not enjoyable that much. I didn't even enjoy shopping anymore.
For human beings I think it's more like a age thing, it depends on the age. For example, you know, before turning into 30s it's definitely beneficial for the young people to try out new things, to figure out themselves. It's more like doing explorations and find out what they really like, what they really good at. And after 30 it's more like you're done with explorations, you're trying to elevate yourself. And at that point I don't think changing jobs is that beneficial anymore.
True, heavy discount could mess with your head sometimes. I do. I have that experience. But the point is, you need to give it some times and see if you actually need it. If you don't need it now but you might need it in the future, it's still worth to buy it because of the discount. But if you think about it and wait till the next day and you actually realize that you would never need to use this thing, then it's not worth it, even with a discount.
Well, to manage stress, there are several ways. The first way is to understand that your goal and motiva...your goal is, if it's not achieved in a set timeframe, it is totally fine because you're, especially for adolescents, your life is long and there are plenty of chance for you to miss the shot sometimes. And if you are really motivated on something and you keep working on it, in the end, you can achieve that. And I believe in the...with this mindset, you will be much better prepared and positioned to have lower stress, to believe that you can achieve something, and in the long run, it will be good for you.
Yeah, if you're too frantic about it, you will reach a level that could lead to your mental exhaustion. And just like muscle...with muscle exhaustion, if you practice too much, if you are too hard on yourself, you cannot perform in a level that you could in a real match because your muscles are too stressed. And in terms of, like, real-life work, if your...if you work too much, if your mental exhaustion's too much, then it will of course lead to your performance being lower when you really need it. So it has to be in the in the middle part. You can't go extreme too much.
Well I think from the get-go, from the beginning, you have to align with entire team about these values so that, you know, if they have any objections, any doubts, they can clarify and they can give some suggestions. And once that's said, everyone is on the same page, we should set expectation that everyone should follow these values. And of course, the the leadership itself has to follow these. They can't they can't like hide a lot of secrets from employees. They have to treat them honest and with with high respect. And that way, it will trickle down from from higher up to bottom. And that's very important.
Hey, sorry, I was talking about in Chinese. Will more people move to cities in the future? Overall, I think there's a trend like more developed countries have more people living in urban areas, whereas the developing countries more people are in in country sides and in suburbs. So I think that's still the trend. Although in many countries, the trend may be reversed a little bit, you know. The inner cities become more more crowded and the crime rates climbs up. And that's an important aspect why, you know, some people, some of the organization has been reverting, but overall yeah.
Okay, I will describe a city where is my hometown. It's named Zhoushan. Zhoushan is a good place because there are some bus... in there and it's a famous...it's a famous place. And there are so many foreigners and volunteers come here in summer vacation or another vacations. For me, it's my hometown. I love it and I will spend more time in there because I'm a student. But I...I...I can't get back my...go back to my school because my school was broke in by Russian. And Zhoushan is a very beautiful place. There are many delicious foods such as any fish and some delicious food like some...on cook and another. And I usually spend my time in holiday in Zhoushan.
Well, I think there are many ways we could make sure that we got enough jobs. For example, firstly, while we were doing our current job, it is really important to remember that we need to explore and expand our marketing...market. So while we were serving and doing the current job, sometimes we need to tell our customers that we could offer more of the support or it is welcomed to be introduced with other clients and customers. And in return, we will send them some thank you gift or we could provide some other benefits. Secondly, we could also do some marketing strategies so that we could expand our...
In my daily life, I think relaxing is very important to our...to our life. I may...I often do some...do some workout such as jogging and running. Also I also have...I also go to the dancing. I think best dancing is very vital to me because when I was young, I often go to...I was go to the dancing class. When I have some stress I'm feel stressful, I will practice my some...I will put me into the dance.
Yes, I usually carry a bag with me when I go out. I find it helpful to have a place to store my belongings, like my phone, wallet, and keys. It also makes it easier to carry any additional items I might need, like an umbrella or water bottle. I have different bags for different occasions, like a backpack for work or a small purse for going out with friends. Overall, I find it convenient to have a bag with me in my daily life.
