Lo que necesitas es hablar con claridad, con intención y sin miedo.

🎙️ En este episodio descubrirás:

✅ Por qué hablar lento no es un defecto, sino una ventaja
✅ Cómo el silencio y las pausas pueden ayudarte a comunicar mejor
✅ 3 técnicas prácticas para hablar con calma y seguridad

《是妈妈是女儿》is a song performed on Spring Festival Gala, which is called the most moving performance.
--------------------------------------------------
《是妈妈是女儿》
【妈妈】我的孩子啊
我不知道自己做得够好吗
我是第一次做妈妈
尽管岁月已吹白我的头发
送你上学第一天
要你勇敢 我却哭了
后来你每回离家挥手说走啦
当告别已变得轻松
可我的心还会空
【女儿】亲爱的妈妈
我不知道自己做得够好吗
我是第一次做女儿
可也是第一次来做我
离开家的那天车开之后偷偷哭了
我不想让你担心 笑着挥手呢
人长大不轻松
我后来才知道
【妈妈】孩子会穿过大雨
去懂人间的道理
我只能唠叨因为我已帮不上你了
【女儿】妈妈会留在童年
给我打很多电话
说院子的花开了
我先挂了 地铁上
【妈妈】早上吃饭了吗
按时睡觉了吗
原谅我 只懂这样参与你生活
【女儿】可我都没做得到所以不说话
【妈妈】吃饭了吗
【女儿】不想对你撒谎啊 又怕你难过
【妈妈】累不累啊
【女儿】匆匆挂了电话后
【妈妈、女儿】发现我是那么地想念你啊
【妈妈】我的孩子啊
我不知道自己做得够好吗
放手如果是一门功课
妈妈一生没考过
【女儿】没有按时吃饭
忙碌不是我的错
如果让你知道 却会令我很愧疚
你的嘘寒问暖 我知道是为我好的
但又让我觉得 我不曾被信任着
【妈妈】不担心的人啊 一定不做妈妈
我知道全知道 可是我心疼啊
【女儿】请放心让我前往属于我的人生吧
你那么勇敢善良 我很像你就不怕
【妈妈】有一天你也会成为一个妈妈
【女儿】那一天我们会深深地拥抱吗
【妈妈、女儿】像溪水环游世界
拥抱回它出生的河流
我希望你被爱着
我希望你要快乐
我希望我的双手可以为你挡着风
我知道爱会争吵
我知道人会变老
所以那一句爱你一定要大声地说
列车会准点吗
路上有吃的吗
到家后不管几点饭都会热着
穿过妈妈的目光离家的小巷
快到了吗
穿过拥挤的车厢回忆的滚烫
门开着呢
穿过温柔的时光
有你的地方我就有路回家
回家吧
【妈妈】我的孩子啊
我不知道自己做得够好吗
但有件事我非常确定
你是最好的女儿
请相信自己

Disc Golf

Improve your spoken English and book a lesson with me: https://teach.italki.com/teacher/1947582
Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English. I'm your host, Carl. Today I want to talk to you about a new sport. This sport is growing, and it is very similar to golf. However, this is disc golf. So disc golf is like golf, except for you use a disc and instead of holes there are baskets and you will see the baskets with these chains hanging down and with a kind of a bucket thing.

And you throw the disc or the Frisbee into the chains. And then that counts  like putting the ball into a hole in golf. So the sport is great because there are a lot of free courses that you can play disc golf or Frisbee golf in. And just like golf, there are usually nine or 18 holes or baskets.

And the goal is to throw the disc, the Frisbee into the basket with as few throws as possible. So, for example, like in golf, you might have a course that is like par, par three. It takes three shots to get it into the hole So the same thing with disc golf, you have a par three course or par four.

So you're trying to get the disc into the basket in three throws or less. Now, some of the challenges with the disc golf courses are trees or obstacles. So sometimes the course will have a tree in the way and you'll have to throw the disc in a way that the disc curves around and goes around the tree so that you can get a clear look at the basket. Another interesting thing is that the discs are made of plastic according to Wikipedia.

Here it says that the discs are made of polypropylene, which is a thermoplastic polymer resin. So it's a very dense plastic And they're smaller in size than a Frisbee that you think of. Like from when I was a kid, I remember the Frisbees were quite large. But these Frisbees are small and there are different Frisbees for different throws.

Streetwise English

SWE12 What the heck is Disc Golf?

We live in a world of rules. We see them everywhere when we travel by plane. No liquids! Wait here! Turn off your phones!

But what about those unspoken rules — the ones that aren't written down and no one is exactly sure about.

A travel expert from the US has been explaining her unspoken rules for the airplane journey.

TV host Samantha Brown shared her rules with CNN, including one that makes the middle seat feel a little more comfortable.

According to Brown, if you find yourself in one of the middle seats on a plane, you should get both of the armrests to yourself.

Sitting in the middle isn't always very popular and so Brown says these passengers should get "anything they want."

That means even if the people on the outside begin using those armrests, the person in the middle has the right to "slowly push them off!"

Brown says she likes the aisle seat best because she feels she has more space.

She added that people sitting by the window should have control of the window blind — whether it's up or down. And the others don't have the right to decide!

One thing that can make some passengers angry is people in front putting their seats back.

Brown has a rule for this — if the journey takes less than three hours, she doesn't put her seat back, but she does if it's a longer trip.
