This story uses words from '3000 most common words in English'. 

TV NEWS music plays and introduction animations fly across the screen. A reporter is standing on the street. Behind her is a loud group of protesters. They are holding signs and chanting. The reporter is yelling to be heard over the noise.

Reporter: I’m here in front of the Ace’s Chicken Company factory. As you can see behind me, 
protesters have gathered to take down the chicken giant. They are chanting Down with Ace and other slogans. They have set up a sound system and are playing loud hip-hop music—which, as insider sources have speculated, is Ace’s most hated genre of music. Let’s now speak to the leader of this movement, Sally. Why are you all out here today?

Sally: We’re not going to stand for the propaganda that Ace has been spreading. He’s published lies about me and is trying to manipulate the public perception of his slaughterhouse. The truth must be known. Ace’s chicken is killing people!

Reporter: And what do you have to say to the opposition? As you know, there is a vocal group of employees who have publicly commented that Ace is a kind leader who only wants what’s best for public health.

Sally: They have been paid off! My sources have told me that Ace personally approached every one of them and offered huge amounts of money, and if they declined, he said he would have their careers destroyed. Ace is only interested in how people perceive him. He isn’t a genuine
manufacturer. He’s a powerful baby!

Reporter: You heard it here, folks. Sally, an ex-employee, claims that Ace is spreading propaganda and paying employees to pretend. Sally, what is it that your group wants?

Sally: We want to see that evil dictator fall!

Reporter: Strong words. Back to you in the newsroom.

大家好 欢迎来到我的播客 今天聊什么
今天我们聊一聊，睡午觉！
睡午觉就是中午的时候睡觉，一般睡很短的时间，比如睡30分钟、睡15分钟
你有没有睡午觉的习惯呢？很多中国人都有睡午觉的习惯。
如果你问一个在美国公司工作的中国人：“工作当中最不适应的地方是什么？”
很多人可能会想到文化差异、语言、思维方式（想问题的方式）等等常见的话题。其实，首先让他们不习惯的是：中午不方便睡觉

不同的办公室文化，是因为每个国家都有不同历史文化传统。对讲求个人空间和隐私的美国人来说，在办公室呼呼大睡，是非常不合适的。这时候，人们一般会喝一杯咖啡。

午睡、睡午觉在美国办公室文化中很少见到，但科学家开始研究午睡对午餐后困倦(post-lunch dip)的作用。睡眠专家David Dinges指出，在办公室、工厂和别的工作环境，人们在吃午饭以后的时段比别的上班时间更容易犯错误。也有科学家说，60分钟到90分钟的午睡，可以提高你的记忆力。

睡午觉，是为了下午工作更好，更有精神；不睡午觉，是为了有时间做更多事。不同国家，有不同的办公室文化。欢迎你跟我上课讨论，你们国家的办公室文化。今天的播客就到这里，下次再见

今天聊什么

什么！在办公室睡觉！

Books are there to give you concepts and sentence structures, as well as ideas but I always caution students that overdoing textbook English will make you sound robotic during a normal conversation. You can memorize all the advanced vocabulary but when you talk to people in a social setting, it is a different matter. You will sound like someone reading something.
