These are just some stories of the time I've spent traveling and some of the things I've noticed about myself along the way. Hopefully it will be good listening practice for you guys.

Hello，我最近睇到咗两个与人相处嘅技巧，
想分享俾你。

我想同你分享嘅第一个技巧系，
点样加人哋嘅微信呢？
加微信有两个方法，
叫人哋扫你嘅二维码，
或者你扫人哋嘅二维码。

呢两种方法有乜野唔同呢？
如果你叫人哋扫你嘅二维码，
你就要打开自己嘅二维码，
对方加咗之后，
你仲要gam6 一吓同意，
而对方只系需要扫一扫。

但系如果你扫人哋嘅二维码，
咁人哋就要打开二维码，
仲要同意你嘅申请。

边种方法好啲？ 
如果你系一个为他人着想嘅人，
加人嗰时应该叫人哋扫你嘅二维码。

点解？
如果你扫咗对方，
对方只系需要做一个动作。
而且如果你扫咗对方嘅二维码，
但系对方一下唔记得咗通过你，
咁就麻烦啦，
你哋嘅交流就会中断。

其实叫人哋扫自己，
系一种为他人着想嘅思维方式。

第二个技巧系关于点样约人哋，
如果你咁样问人哋，
你听日下昼三点得唔得闲啊？
人哋可能唔知应该点样答你，
因为佢唔知你嘅意图系乜嘢。

而更好嘅方法系咁样问，
我想开一个会讨论一下产品嘅改进方法，
打算听日下昼三点开会，
唔会你到时得唔得闲参加一下呢？

用呢种方式会令对方觉得更加舒服。
因为你照顾咗佢嘅感受，
将佢心入面嘅疑虑打消咗。

以前成日听到与人相处最高嘅艺术就系舒服，
细个嗰时冇乜嘢感觉，
但是越大就越觉得与人相处舒服好重要。
人生不过短短三万几日，
其实一般人都想同令自己觉得舒服嘅人相处。

最后打个小广告，微信小程序“小草粤语”更新咗新嘅版本啦，
呢个小程序非常适合零基础的同学使用，扫描文中的二维码，或者在微信搜索“小草粤语”就可以找到我的小程序啦。

先讲到呢度，我哋下次再见，拜拜！

Today's phrase for ESL learners is to be "knocked" down.

It can mean anything which has been knocked over, it can also mean when someone is involved in a car accident.
Examples:
My little cat sometimes knocks things over (or knocks things down).
My friend was knocked down by a passing car.
