        母亲节，是一个感谢母亲的节日。在中国，这个节日既没有公共假期，也不像春节那样为大家所熟悉，但是，当这一天来临时，还真是很热闹的。Mother's Day is a holiday to thank mothers.  In China, there is no public holiday, nor is it as familiar as Spring Festival, but when the day comes, it is quite lively.

너 어디 가? 你去哪儿啊? 


“I think one of the most difficult decisions I ever had to make was choosing what major and university to apply for after graduating from high school. I had to make this decision about 3 years ago, at which time I was at a crossroads in my life, and had to decide something that I knew would affect my whole future life in a pretty short space of time. 

Since I can remember, I loved anything to do with computers, and knew I wanted to further my studies in something related to computers, especially programming. After a few weeks of research on the internet, I narrowed my choice down to two universities. I was at my wits end trying  to make a decision between these two universities, when my mother reminded me that two of my cousins had both graduated in computer science. After some really sound advice from my cousins I decided to apply to the university which specialised in coding.

I can happily say that I think I made a really good decision, thanks to the great advice from my cousins, and I'm really happy with my choice, as well as with what I have learned in the last 3 years. I’m also feeling very confident about my future, and because of making this decision, I now feel very confident that I will find a good job in the future.

Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English podcast. My name is Carl. Today I want to talk about breaking the ice. So breaking the ice means meeting someone new that you don't know for the first time. So when you go to a party or you go to a new workplace or a new school, you're always going to have the occasion where you need to meet people for the very first time.


And sometimes this can be awkward and you can feel embarrassed about talking to someone if you don't know them and they don't know you and you're not friends yet. So I just wanted to talk really briefly about some advice that I have for you to meet people for the first time in any environment. And this is especially true if you are not a native speaker of their language.


So the first tip I have is to simply smile. Make your face look friendly and welcoming and give eye contact to the person that you want to talk to. It sounds really simple and obvious, but if you missed this step um, you know, this is a very important step and this is half the battle. So make sure that you look approachable yourself and you smile And you might even make a slight hand gesture, like, uh, a mini wave of some sort.  And the next thing is to simply say hello.


You don't have to come up with any kind of clever saying or pick up line or joke just simply saying hello. And you can see if the other person is interested in having a conversation with you.


And another tip is that you can be observant of what the person looks like or what clothes they're wearing and use that as a clue um, to tell you about who they are. For example, if the person is wearing very nice running shoes you kind of have the idea that this person likes to run or this person may be a runner or if you notice that the person has, um, cauliflower ears, you know, scarred ears from wrestling OK, this guy is probably a fighter.
