Ep 11

Describe a time you were very busy.

You should say: 

When it was.
Why you were so busy.
How you managed it.
And explain how you felt about being so busy.





“ One of the busiest times I experienced was about 3 months ago, when I had to finish a very important and difficult assignment in order to graduate in my major, business management. 

I had only 2 weeks to complete this paper, and if I didn't meet the deadline, I would automatically fail my finals, as well as being unable to graduate, so it was of great importance to me. I also had a part-time job at this time, which took up a lot of my time and didn’t actually leave much time to complete my paper. 

The assignment was also very challenging, certainly  no walk in the park  and I needed to do a lot of research as well as collect a lot of data before I could even start to brainstorm ideas on how I would complete it. This meant I had to burn the midnight oil, and pull a few all nighters to be certain of having it finished to meet the deadline.

Although I didn’t exactly enjoy being so busy and under so much pressure, I felt very proud and satisfied to have completed the assignment after working all the hours god sent me. I was on cloud nine when I received my grade and discovered I got a straight A for the paper, and could now look forward to graduating.


Thank you…”

❤한글날 특집❤(Hangul Day special episode)
✔YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/iNohaehbElU (Visit us to see the transcript😎!)

I picked up this movie to celebrate Hangul Day which is every October 9th.
At first glance, he doesn't seem to have much in common with Hangeul Day.
But you are going to realize he is one of the most beautiful writers of Hangul.
His name is “동주” who was a precious light in the darkest days.
He died young, unfortunately. But his works melt the hearts of many people and represent their hearts to this day.
For those who are learning Korean and who are interested in Korean, I highly recommend it!!!😍

Osaatko suomen kieliopin ulkoa? Ymmärrät suomea ja osaat jopa kirjoittaa, mutta et uskalla avata suutasi? Tässä podcastin jaksossa puhun kielen puhumiseen liittyvästä jännityksestä, miten itse olen aloittanut vieraan kielen puhumisen (ihan nollasta!) ja mitä vinkkejä voin antaa juuri sinulle! 

On normaalia jännittää puhumista ja erilaisia puhumistilanteita. Usein monella opiskelijalla on taustalla suomenkielen opintoja ja ymmärtää kieltä, mutta ei kumminkaan voi puhua kieltä omassa maassa tai Suomessa. En ota henkilökohtaisesti kielen vaihtamista englantiin, koska seuraavalla kerralla yritän puhua enemmän.

Sanalista:
törmätä
jännittää
takaperin
Venäjän mittapuulla
alusta lähtien jouduin käyttämään
oli pakko itse puhua
kokemus
ilmaista itseään
pelottaa puhua tuntemattomalle
jännittää lausuminen
jatkaa - sitkeästi jatkoin (sitkeä + sti)
korostus, aksentti
kenellä saa olla aksentti puheessa

script: 
我从现在年轻人的表达当中我没有看到个性，我看到的是共性。我很少很少看到一个年轻人，给我有个性的表达，让我一惊。我*，这话，他这么说？这么看？我几乎看不到。语言都趋同，表达方式趋同，词语趋同。我不觉得今天的孩子比我们那会儿孩子更有个性，真的一点没有。为什么？还是因为你们每个人有个手机，有一个网络。网络和整个的媒体在教你们怎么说话。然后你们统一性越来越强。
表达   biǎo dá fāng shì；the way they speak
个性   gè xìng；personality 
译文translation:
I can't see the personality in the expressions of young people now, what I see is the commonality. I seldom see a young man who gives me a speech of personality that surprises me. Which can makes me think ‘Why did he say that? Why did he have this idea?’ I can barely see it. Languages are the same, the way they speak are the same, and words are the same. I don't think the young people now have stronger personality than our times, really not at all. Why? That’s because each of you has a cell phone, the Internet and the entire media is teaching you how to speak. Then you guys become more and more unifie.

Morning Exercise Best for Women's Heart Health
A new study has found that exercising in the late morning is better for women's heart health than exercising at other times of the day.

Researchers from Leiden University looked at data from the UK Biobank to find out whether the time at which people exercise has an effect on heart health. The data was collected from more than 86,000 women and men with an average age of 62.

Participants' exercise times were recorded over seven days, and heart health was observed for six years. The participants were grouped based on the time of day they exercised, including early morning, late morning, midday and evening.

It was found that women who exercised in the early morning — between around 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. — had a 22% lower risk of developing heart disease compared to those who exercised at midday. Women who exercised in the late morning — between around 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. — had a 24% lower risk.

No significant difference was found for men, or for anyone who exercised in the evening.

The data also showed that women who exercised in the late morning had a 35% lower risk of stroke compared to those who exercised at midday.

The benefits of morning exercise were true both for women who prefer waking up early and those who prefer sleeping late.

Study author Gali Albalak said that although she's not sure why exercising in the morning was found to be better for women than men, the results add to the evidence that morning exercise — and especially late morning exercise — may be best for our health.
