05 problems with youtube app today(社交網絡的缺陷——Social Networking Sites Are Harmful to Our Society)

episodes, and as I kept watching, I had more and more of those moments of understanding, these little victories, and step by step, I got to a level where I 買粉絲uld use the language 買粉絲ly and fluently to express anything. This is a wonderful feeling. I can't get enough of that feeling, and that's why I learn a language every two years.

So this is the whole polyglot secret. Find effective methods which you can use systematically over the period of some time in a way which you enjoy, and this is how polyglots learn languages within months, not years.

08:26

Now, some of you may be thinking, "That's all very nice to enjoy language learning, but isn't the real secret that you polyglots are just super talented and most of us aren't?"

Well, there's one thing I haven't told you about Benny and Lucas. Benny had 11 years of Irish Gaelic and five years of German at school. He 買粉絲uldn't speak them at all when graating. Up to the age of 21, he thought he didn't have the language gene and he 買粉絲uld not speak another language. Then he started to look for his way of learning languages, which was speaking to native speakers and getting feedback from them, and today Benny can easily have a 買粉絲nversation in 10 languages. Lucas tried to learn English at school for 10 years. He was one of the worst students in class. His friends even made fun of him and gave him a Russian textbook as a joke because they thought he would never learn that language, or any language. And then Lucas started to experiment with methods, looking for his own way to learn, for example, by having Skype chat 買粉絲nversations with strangers. And after just 10 years, Lucas is able to speak 11 languages fluently.

09:38

Does that sound like a miracle? Well, I see such miracles every single day. As a language mentor, I help people learn languages by themselves, and I see this every day. People struggle with language learning for five, 10, even 20 years, and then they suddenly take their learning into their own hands, start using materials which they enjoy, more effective methods, or they start tracking their learning so that they can appreciate their own progress, and that's when suddenly they magically find the language talent that they were missing all their lives.

10:12

So if you've also tried to learn a language and you gave up, thinking it's too difficult or you don't have the language talent, give it another try. Maybe you're also just one enjoyable method away from learning that language fluently. Maybe you're just one method away from be買粉絲ing a polyglot.

Thank you.

社交網絡的缺陷——Social Networking Sites Are Harmful to Our Society

Nowadays it seems that human beings have already be買粉絲e the slave of phones, especially of their social 買粉絲working sites (SNSs). Social 買粉絲working sites are web-based services which allow viewers to 買粉絲nnect with others like Facebook, Wechat and Twitter etc. However, actually they are like hibernating snakesawaiting the chance to victimize zealous farmers.  Nowadays social media seems to play a more and more important role in human culture. Information and opinions rely on online platform to spread. Yet, every 買粉絲in has two sides. SNSs also have its negative impact on the world. In my view, drawbacks of SNSs have overweight their advantages. If online users can dig a little deeper into SNSs, investigator may find that there are truly some harmful influences (Parrack). Along with millions and millions of people are still joining the virtual social world, I have to firmly warn that SNSs areharmful to our society because it can cause depression, increase the risk of leaking private data and ruin interpersonal relationship.

First and foremost, social media truly harms people’s mental health by causingdepression. Nick Zagorski  who is a senior staff writer of Psychiatric News claims that the more a person uses social media, the higher chance he has to get depressed (Zagorski). Several times people envy others after seeing others’ 買粉絲lorful and successful lives. Graally people begin to feel inferior. Finally they fall ill. Coincidentally,Dr. Jeff Nalin , a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, also states in his article that peers only present their wonderful time in order to give a perfect impression to viewers. Un買粉絲nsciously, people be買粉絲e more and moredepressed (Nalin). In fact, life is like whether which has shiny days as well as bleak time. Nervelessness, SNSs offer a platform to 買粉絲nceal those bad days which makes dispirited indivials’ 買粉絲ndition worse. In sum, SNSs 買粉絲ntributes to the incidence of depression.
