大家好，我是Yuli。
这个星期中国最火的话题之一是新东方直播。新东方是一家教育培训公司，是做出国的英语培训起家的，后来也做中小学基础教育。因为疫情影响，出国的人变少了。2021年7月中国开始实施“双减”政策。第一、减轻义务教育阶段学生的作业负担，第二、减轻校外培训负担。这个政策对教育培训机构造成了巨大的影响，很多老师失业，机构也不得不开始转型。
新东方在2021年底开始了直播带货，卖农产品。但是一开始并没有什么人关注，直播间只有几十个人观看。经过半年的坚持努力，新东方直播间从最初平均单场直播销售额不足30万，逆袭为现在的单场平均销售额近1500万。3天时间，粉丝增加近160万，销售额增加1777万元。
他们是如何做到的呢？今年6月份以来，“新东方直播间”队伍登场，带货主播都是新东方的英语老师。他们一边说英语，一边介绍产品。网友开玩笑说，买个东西还可以免费学英语。其中人气最高的是董宇辉，他不仅幽默，还很有才华。在他的直播间，你不仅可以学英语，还可以听他讲优美的诗词。他会分享他的经验和故事，你会因为他的坚持和乐观而感动。
董老师的一段话让我很感动，他对那些经历过痛苦的人说：“运气可能会来也可能不会来，但是这不影响你本来要坚守的心。痛苦是对的，痛苦源于对现状的不满。痛苦的人才有欲望去改变一切。痛苦就是力量” 
希望他的话也能鼓励到你。我们下期见。

Ep 2

（1）“点”and“分”are used to express time in Chinese, observing the principle of “the bigger unit preceding the smaller unit”.
“点”means “o’clock”, indicating a whole hour. For example：
9:00 →九点(jiǔ diǎn)
11:00 → 十一点( shí yī diǎn)
2:00 →两点(liǎng diǎn )

*Note: The counterpart of 2 o'clock in Chinese is “两点(liǎng diǎn)” instead of “二点(èr
diǎn)”.

（2）If it is not a “whole-hour” time, “分” is used. The pattern is “……点……分”. For example:
5:30→五点三十分(wǔ diǎn sān shí fēn) 
11:10→十一点十分(shí yì diǎn shí fēn) 
2:05→两点零五分(liǎnɡ diǎn línɡ wǔ fēn)
 
（3）To distinguish atime before noon from one afternoon, the pattern“上午(morning)点(……分)”or“下午(afternoon)……点(……分)”is used. For example:
8:00am→上午八点(shànɡ wǔ bā diǎn) 
5:25pm→下午五点二十五分(xià wǔ wǔ diǎn èr shí wǔ fēn)
