Daliy Conversations for Cantonese (粵語會話）

Common greeting（日常問候）

Диктант - это не самая любимая часть занятий по русскому языку у школьников, но очень полезная. Так что давайте учиться понимать русский и грамотно его записывать! 
Система будет такая. Я читаю текст два раза: в первый раз медленно, по несколько слов (ставьте эпизод на паузу, чтобы успеть записать), второй раз - быстрее, чтобы вы проверили, всё ли правильно. 
На этот раз я взяла отрывок из рассказа А.П. Чехова “Весной”. У нас сейчас всё именно так, как описывает великий русский писатель. А у вас?
Отправьте мне сообщение "второй диктант готов", как только закончите, и я пришлю вам его текст для проверки. 
Удачного диктанта, друзья!

In part two, Teacher Smith discusses how our brains learn best. They explain that traditional English lessons often struggle to help us remember words, especially when we try to translate them. Teacher Smith suggests that emotional connections help us remember words better, similar to how we know song lyrics by heart.

They introduce mnemonics as memory tricks, like acronyms or phrases, to aid in remembering information. However, while helpful for tests, mnemonics can be slow to recall and aren't ideal for speaking fluently.

Teacher Smith then introduces "Word Webs," which are interconnected networks of words that help with memory retention. They compare word webs to spider webs, emphasizing their resilience even if some connections are lost.

The episode reveals the "Billion-Dollar Memory Secret," explaining how leading companies secure top-of-mind awareness. They highlight the challenge for new companies to establish themselves in consumers' minds and draw parallels to remembering new words automatically.

Finally, Teacher Smith discusses the challenge of replacing memories in the brain, especially when learning a new language. They explain how thinking in one's native language can hinder the recall of English words and suggest creating new mental categories to bridge the gap.

In the next episode, Teacher Smith promises to explore solutions to this problem.
