THAI with Kru C Matthakullaya 

大家好，我是Honglin老师。欢迎来到我的汉字频道。

这是我的第四次推送。今天要给大家分享的字是，“独“，孤独的独，独自的独。

“独”是一个，单个的意思。这个字呢，左边是犬字旁，指的是狗；右边是个虫子，也是一种小动物。那一只狗和一只虫子，为什么组成了“一个”“单个”的意思呢。

独其实是个会意字，也就是说，它把两个单独的汉字放在一起表示一个新的意义。狗有什么特点呢，它们会为了食物打斗，失败了，狗就逃走，赢了，这只狗就可以独自享受食物。那虫子呢？

在以前，或者在繁体字里，独不是这样写的。犬字旁的右边其实是个“蜀”字。这个“蜀”有时候也用来指四川省，中国西南部的省份。它是指的是一种喜欢独自呆在一种花里的虫子，长得有点像毛毛虫。 

狗喜欢吃独食，这个叫“蜀“的虫子又喜欢独自在花里。那把他们两个放在一起，就变成了独，表示“只有一个”。

那今天给大家分享一个含有“独”的词语，叫“独裁”，“独裁”。大家应该都听说过卓别林，Charlie Chaplin。他有一部非常伟大的电影，叫“The Great Dictator’，讲了一个想要统治全世界的人，翻译成中文，就是《大独裁者》。所以独裁的意思，就是指独自裁断，独揽政权，一个人统治一个国家。而这样的人，就叫，“独裁者”。

关于“独“字，你还能想到什么词语呢？

Gut – besser – optimal

(A)  Optimierung, besser gesagt, Selbst-Optimierung, ist ein großer Trend unserer Zeit. Pausenlos überwachen, messen und kontrollieren wir unsere Körperfunktionen ebenso wie unsere Aktivitäten. Dafür gibt es zahlreiche Programme, Apps und Internet-Angebote. 
(B)  Wir achten auf mindestens zehntausend Schritte pro Tag: die Smart-Watch registriert es. Puls und Blutdruck werden dabei auch gleich gemessen. Schlank bleiben ist alles; aber wenn es doch Gewichts-Probleme gibt, holen wir uns einfach Motivation und Unterstützung von einem Internet-Coach. 
(C)  Auf die Frage: „Hast du heute Nacht gut geschlafen?“ antwortete man vor zehn Jahren: „Ja, danke!“ oder „Nein, grauenvoll!“. Heute sagt man nach einem Blick auf das Handy:“63 Prozent.“
(D)  Täglich erhalten wir eine Erinnerung, die Grammatikübungen in der Fremdsprachen-App nicht zu vergessen und wer beim Aufräumen und Putzen überfordert ist, lässt sich durch eine App für Haushalts-Organisation unterstützen. 
(E)  All das ist reizvoll und interessant, aber ein ungesunder Zwang sollte nicht daraus werden. Bedenklich ist auch, dass wir eine riesige Menge persönlicher Daten preisgeben, aber das ist ein anderes Thema.

Many of us have a preferred way of dealing with conflict. However, the way you respond to conflict should depend on the situation. So, take time to consider the situation and decide on the best way of dealing with that conflict. 

Giving in:
You’re probably right.
I’m happy to do it your way.

Avoiding:
I’d prefer not to talk about this now.
I’ll leave it to you to decide.

Forcing:
Let me tell you how this made me feel.
This is what I think we should do…

Compromising:
If I (do this) can you (do this)?
I’m happy to agree on (this) if you can (do that).

Working together:
I’d like to hear your side of things.
What do you think is the best way forward?

Mental blockers in job interviews, IELTS speaking or communication as a whole.

Have you heard of such a thing as a mental blocker? Or psychological filtering?

Most techers never talk about this because they care too much on helping you with the language (grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing). There is nothing wrong with it but why 60-90% of language learners aren't satisfied about their spoken language performance?

Mental blockers or filtering is when we focus too much on the bad things and ignore the good things. 

This can make us only see the negative parts of a situation and not notice the positives. It's like when you only pay attention to one mean comment and ignore all the nice ones. 

This can make us feel bad about ourselves and not appreciate the good things around us.

Have you found yourself in it? We all do it, I do too in various aspects and my student Savi inspired me to help you become aware of it and deal with it and succeed as the result.

Take your time listening to it as it is the first time in your life you came across this topic and again - it's not what English teachers talk about so please meditate on my thoughts, let yourself grow and come to my vip 1-1 training to ask questions and be helped.

You can do it!

Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.

男：时间来到了9月1号，不仅是中小学，不少地方的幼儿园小朋友们也开学了。幼儿园迎来了整个学习里说是最忙碌的一天。
女：是，大家通常会把这一天称作叫“神兽归笼”。幼儿园呢确实变成了大型的“伤别离”现场。我们也看到网上有很多的视频引发了大家的热议，有网友就开玩笑说：“哇幼儿园开学第一天真的是听取哇声一片。”
男：是小朋友第一次离开家要出个小远门了哈。有嗷嗷大哭的，有含泪一步三回头的，也有搂着爸爸妈妈脖子，挂在身上不愿意下来的。老师呢恨不得长八只手，感觉哄不完，根本就哄不完。
女：其实爸爸妈妈也没好到哪儿去，因为他们的分离焦虑呀可能比孩子们更严重。
男：是，通过大家发布的视频呢我们总结了一下哈，比如说，有这个老父亲送完了萌娃回来一直抹眼泪的，有上一秒嘴上说着“解放了”下一秒却化身壁虎各种趴墙头偷看孩子的。
女：特别理解啊，为人父母的心情。你像幼儿园是孩子离开家庭独立成长的第一步，其实也是爸爸妈妈面临和孩子分离的第一步。这世上大部分的爱都是关乎拥有的，但唯独呢父母对子女的爱却应该是逐步放手的爱。所以啊，对于家长们来说呢，希望大家也要提前做好准备，也给孩子充分的信任和鼓励。
男：是，其实每一次流泪呢也都是孩子成长的一个契机，所以家长们也要相信孩子啊，当他们独立面对陌生环境的时候，将爆发出意想不到的小宇宙。
