001 Introduction

Hello everyone and welcome to my first ever iTalki podcast.

I just discovered this tool the other day, and thought to myself, 'Hey.  Why not?'

Since this is my first contribution to this particular tool on the iTalki platform, I thought that it would be appropriate to at least offer an introduction of myself, and then as a bonus, offer you the same guidance that I give to my students as they prepare for their sessions with me.

So...

小丽最近的一次购物经历

上周末，我和朋友一起去了市中心的一家大型商场购物。因为正值季末打折，很多商品都有很大的折扣。
首先，我们去了服装区。我在那里看到了一件很喜欢的外套，原价500元，现在打八折，只要400元。我试穿了这件外套，觉得非常合适，于是决定买下它。接着，我们又去了鞋子区，朋友买了一双运动鞋，也是打了折的。
在购物的过程中，我们还去了电子产品区。我看中了一个最新款的耳机，虽然没有打折，但我觉得它的性能很好，就买了下来。我们在商场里逛了好几个小时，最后在一家餐厅吃了午饭。
购物结束后，我们去了收银台付款。因为买的东西比较多，我们分开付款，每个人都拿到了小票。商场里的人很多，但整个购物过程非常愉快。回到家后，我试用了新买的耳机，发现音质非常好，我对这次购物非常满意。
通过这次购物，我不仅买到了喜欢的商品，还享受到了打折的优惠。这样的购物经历让我觉得很开心。

Standing desks have been promoted as a healthy alternative for office workers who don't want to stay seated in front of a computer all day. But a new study suggests that standing desks may not be so good for us after all.

A research team, led by scientists at the University of Sydney, has found that standing for over two hours a day may increase the risk of developing circulatory diseases that can prevent the proper flow of blood in the body.

The researchers looked at data from over 83,000 adults in the UK who were not suffering from heart disease at the start of the study. For seven days, the participants wore a device on their wrists that recorded the time they spent sitting or standing each day.

After collecting this data, the researchers recorded any heart disease or circulatory health problems the participants experienced over the following seven years.

The research team calculated that after standing for two hours, every extra 30 minutes someone stands increases their risk of having a circulatory disease by 11%.

And although standing was not associated with an increased risk of health problems like heart disease or stroke, standing does not reduce the risk of developing such health problems either.

Speaking to The Guardian, Matthew Ahmadi, one of the authors of the study, said the key point of the study's findings is that standing instead of sitting doesn't provide any health advantage, and could increase health risks for some people.

Emmanuel Stamatakis, one of the other authors of the study, told The Guardian that moving around during the day and getting regular exercise are better ways to reduce the risk of heart disease.

"Take regular breaks, walk around, go for a walking meeting, use the stairs, take regular breaks when driving long distances, or use that lunch hour to get away from the desk and do some movement," he said.
