這次每週報的主題 👉small talk： Do you live in a house or a flat(an apartment)? Is it big? 藉由Alley教怎麼回答的「黃金結構」來練習，我先想好架構就先直接講了一遍回答(ㄜ~句子很亂、片段又很卡🥲)，然後再用AI來修改和提供建議(下文)。最後再用自己的話嘗試回答(錄音)。 🤯在上週QA Ttime，我學到陳述事情時不應只注重在”翻譯”某段話，而是該要像Alley提到的：去「想像畫面」，所以這次有架構後再把腦中的”畫面”說出來~還有就是，不用勉強自己去“背”句子，尤其AI修改後的並不是我平常會用的講法，所以不用想太艱澀的字詞，只要簡單清楚表達就可以！ 這個練習過程挺花時間的🫠~但多做幾次能感覺到效果🙂 🤖AI編修的內容： I live in a townhouse. It’s not a "huge house," but it’s perfect for a small family like ours. We have a garage, a private parking spot, and even a spacious patio, which gives us some extra room. The best part? We don’t have neighbors above or below us, so we don't have to deal with any noise. We feel so lucky we found a detached unit that fits our budget! Why we love the area: The Vibe: Our community is super friendly and quiet since it’s a smaller neighborhood. There’s lots of grass, trees, a pool, and even a park with walking trails nearby. The Location: It’s so convenient! It’s only a 5-minute walk to the corner store and a 5-minute drive to the supermarket for groceries. Why it's special to us: This is the very first home my husband and I have ever bought. We did everything ourselves—moving in, decorating, and even fixing things up.No house is "perfect," but with a cozy home, a peaceful neighborhood, and a location with great resale value, it’s exactly where I want to be.

昨天在搭車看報紙看到這篇文章，覺得很有趣~ 縮短成我理解的意思： 起初作者因為開始被外送人員叫出名字，反思是不是自己太常叫外賣了， 開始分析起外送的好處和壞處，然後最後還是希望大家忙碌之餘也有空下廚。 The article talks about how the writer realised he orders delivery too often, and even the delivery driver knows his name. He discusses the pros and cons of food delivery. It’s very convenient, fast and often comes with discounts or priority service. But on the other hand, it can make people lazy, unhealthy and spend more money. In the end, he suggests cooking more and spending a bit of time preparing food instead of always relying on delivery. 句子練習： 💡they know how to keep you hooked 他們很懂如何讓你上癮 例： Netflix keeps me hooked. 💡To be clear, + 我先說清楚 例： To be clear, I’m not against delivery food. 💡It’s becoming too much of a habit.變成一種過度習慣(表示壞習慣開始形成) 例： Coffee is becoming too much of a habit. 💡It’s understandable that…表示理解但不一定支持 例：It’s understandable people don’t want to cook. 💡that would require effort.那太麻煩了 例：I could go to the gym… but that requires effort. 💡X is the … equivalent of Y X就像Y 例：Instagram is the modern equivalent of a diary.
