你好呀，欢迎收听：英语考试Cat 🐱🐱🐱🐱 What apps have you recently used? Recently, I've been using a variety of apps that have become an integral part of my life, for instance, of course, WeChat is absolutely indispensable. It's a one-stop shop. I chat with friends and family on it, share moments, and even purchase air and train tickets, oh, and of course, making payments for anything and everything else too. Another one I've been using is Jianying, a video-editing app with different user-friendly interfaces and a plethora of features that allow for editing videos with relative ease. RedNote is another one I sometimes get a little addicted to. It's a platform where people share all kinds of interesting content and that’s why I sometimes find myself scrolling through it for hours on end. * an integral part of my life：我生活中不可或缺的一部分 * absolutely indispensible：绝对必不可少 * a one-stop shop：一站式平台 * purchase：购买 * making payments：付款；支付 * a video-editing app：一款视频剪辑app * user-friendly interfaces：用户友好的界面 * a plethora of：大量的 * with relative ease：相对轻松地 * get a little addicted to：有点沉迷于 * platform：平台 * interesting：有趣的 * content：内容 * scrolling through：浏览 * for hours on end：连续几个小时 What kinds of apps are you usually interested in? I'm generally interested in apps that are practical and informative. Apps that help me be productive, whether it's in shopping, video-editing, or accessing new information. Shopping apps like Taobao are great as they offer a vast range of products at my fingertips, saving me the hassle of going to brick-and-mortar stores. For entertainment, RedNote is one of my favorites. However, it can be a bit of a time-sink. Sometimes, I find myself spending far too much time scrolling through it, so I've resorted to deleting the app from my phone and only accessing it on my laptop. This way, I can still enjoy the content but have more control over my time. * practical：实用的 * informative：提供有用信息的 * productive：能提高效率的 * accessing new information：获取新信息 * a vast range of：各种各样的 * at my fingertips：近在手边 * saving me the hassle of：省去了…… 的麻烦 * brick-and-mortar stores：实体店 * a bit of a time-sink：有点耗费时间 * find myself spending too much time ：发现自己花了太多时间 * scrolling through：浏览 * I've resorted to：采取…… 的办法 * have more control over my time：能更好地掌控自己的时间 [Image] How do you find out about different apps? I usually discover different apps through news and social media posts. For example, recently, there’s been a lot of buzz around a new app called DeepSeek. All the news outlets and social media platforms have been talking about it, so I naturally became curious and checked it out. Another way is through friends' recommendations. Just recently, a friend recommended an app that focuses on restaurants and places to go. It's been a game-changer for me because this app has got me discounts at restaurants and helped me discover some hidden gems in the city that I would have otherwise missed, for sure. * social media posts：社交媒体帖子 * a lot of buzz around：……很火 * news outlets：新闻媒体 * social media platforms：社媒平台 * naturally became curious：自然而然地感到好奇 * checked it out：了解了一下 * friends' recommendations：朋友的推荐 * a game-changer：带来重大变革的事物 * discover：发现 * hidden gems：隐藏的珍宝；（这里指）城市中不为人知的好去处、好地方 * would have otherwise missed ：否则就会错过的 What kinds of apps would you like to use in the future? Oh wow, um, let me see, it’s a difficult question to answer right on the spot. But off the top of my head, I’d have to say an app that offers an extensive library of movies and TV shows without any ads. Ads can be annoying, especially when you're in the middle of a show. Having an app with millions of titles at my disposal, all ad-free, would be an amazing thing. Of course, the negative side, the inevitable, it would definitely tempt me to binge-watch my favorite shows or discover new movies without any interruptions. I think it’d be incredibly popular among all age ranges, all demographics without exception since we all value convenience and an uninterrupted viewing experience I believe. * right on the spot：当场；立即 * off the top of my head：即兴 * an extensive library of：一个庞大的…… 资源库 * ads：广告（advertisements 的缩写） * can be annoying：可能会很烦人 * in the middle of a show：在看节目的过程中 * at my disposal：供我使用；由我支配 * ad-free：无广告的 * the negative side：负面；不利的一面 * tempt：诱使 * binge-watch: 刷剧 * without any interruptions：不受任何打扰 * all demographics：各类人群 * without exception：无一例外；毫无例外 * an uninterrupted viewing experience：流畅的观看体验 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 顺便打个广告： 欢迎朋友们加入我的【知识星球】 里面有10万字的雅思口语书，内容梗概： (1) 78个Part 1话题语料 (2) 55个Part 3话题语料 (3) 40个Part 2话题语料 (4) 雅思口语高分tips (5) 雅思口语高分词汇表达 这本口语书是PDF的，放在了我的知识星球，星球里除了这本书，还有雅思听说读写、语法基础知识等内容。 星球目前的价格是388元/年，欢迎加入。如不适合，星球可以3天无理由退款，付的款会原路返还给你。

你好呀，欢迎收听：英语考试Cat 🐱🐱🐱🐱 00:08 What qualities can help a person be popular? Hmm, well, I'd say the main characteristic that contributes to a person's popularity is mainly being positive, and so for that, there are a few factors. A sense of humor, for example, can lighten the mood and make interacting with that person enjoyable. A kind and nice demeanor also makes people feel welcome and cared for. I also think being true to oneself is important, so not being pretentious as this can put people off. For that last point, I think people are naturally drawn to authenticity as it allows one to exude confidence, which is an attractive quality. In short, positive, genuine qualities, I think, are the key to being popular. * contributes to：有助于 * a sense of humor：幽默感 * lighten the mood：缓和气氛 * interacting with：与…… 互动 * demeanor：（人的）风度；举止 * feel welcome：感到受欢迎 * being true to oneself：做真实的自己 * pretentious：炫耀；做作 * put people off：使某人反感 * naturally drawn to：自然地被…… 吸引 * authenticity：真实性；真诚 * exude confidence：流露出自信 * an attractive quality：一种有吸引力的品质 * genuine：真诚的 * the key to：…… 的关键 01:03 In what ways do you think popular stars influence teenagers? No doubt, popular stars can both positively and negatively influence teenagers. On the positive side, they can inspire teenagers to pursue their dreams since it's true that many stars have stories of working hard and perseverance. Celebrities can also be trendsetters in fashion, music, and art, and this can help teenagers explore their own creativity. On the negative side though, some stars' lifestyles, such as excessive consumption or inappropriate behavior, might mislead teenagers. If a star promotes a healthy lifestyle, for example, it can encourage teens to be more health-conscious, but on the flip side, if a star is involved in scandals, it gives teens the wrong idea. So, overall, while stars can be a source of inspiration, they can also lead teenagers astray. * positively：积极地；正面地 * negatively：消极地；负面地 * inspire：鼓舞；启发 * pursue their dreams：追求梦想 * perseverance：毅力；坚持 * trendsetters：引领潮流者 * explore their own creativity：探索创造力 * excessive consumption：过度消费 * inappropriate behavior：不当行为 * promote a healthy lifestyle：倡导健康的生活方式 * health-conscious：有健康意识的 * on the flip side：另一方面；相反 * scandals：丑闻 * gives...the wrong idea：给…… 错误的观念（想法） * a source of inspiration：灵感的来源；鼓舞的源泉 * lead...astray：把…… 引入歧途 02:09 What are the advantages and disadvantages of being very popular? I think being very popular has both its pros and cons. Advantages include doors to various opportunities being opened, like career advancement, which of course can also lead to significant financial rewards. However, if one is really popular, their time will often be in demand, and I think this can make a person tired. Moreover, I also think a very popular person may have the misfortune of being cheated, I mean, emotionally, as some may take advantage of that person. I think both these advantages and disadvantages are something that a famous person, for example, will often enjoy or grapple with. So, while popularity has its perks, it can also come with a hefty price. * pros and cons：优缺点；利与弊 * doors to various opportunities being opened：开启了各种机会之门 * career advancement：事业发展 * significant financial rewards：可观的经济回报 * be in demand：有需求；受欢迎 * have the misfortune of：遭遇…… 的不幸 * take advantage of：利用；占…… 的便宜 * emotionally：在情感上 * grapple with：努力应对；设法解决 * has its perks：有其好处；有其优势 * come with a hefty price：伴随着高昂的代价 03:09 What kind of people are usually popular in the workplace? Interesting question. Well, let me see. I think in the workplace, I would say there are two qualities that make people popular. First, I think, is competence. Being good at one's job earns respect from colleagues and superiors, and it shows reliability and the ability to contribute to the team's success. Secondly, a pleasant personality definitely goes a long way in becoming well-liked. Being kind, approachable, and easy-going helps build good relations, and it also helps to create a positive work environment. No doubt, a competent colleague who is also friendly is more likely to be sought after to collaborate with. So, I think those are the two keys, competency and a positive personality, to be popular at work. * competence：能力；胜任 * earns respect：赢得尊重 * colleagues：同事 * superiors：上级；上司 * reliability：可靠 * the ability to：…… 的能力 * contribute to：有助于；为…… 做贡献 * a pleasant personality：讨人喜欢的性格 * goes a long way：大有帮助；很有作用 * approachable：平易近人；随和 * helps build good relations：有助于建立良好的关系 * a positive work environment：积极的工作环境 * competent：有能力的；称职的 * sought after：受欢迎；备受青睐 * collaborate with：与…… 合作 * a positive personality：积极的个性 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 顺便打个广告： 欢迎朋友们加入我的【知识星球】 里面有10万字的雅思口语书，内容梗概： (1) 78个Part 1话题语料 (2) 55个Part 3话题语料 (3) 40个Part 2话题语料 (4) 雅思口语高分tips (5) 雅思口语高分词汇表达 这本口语书是PDF的，放在了我的知识星球，星球里除了这本书，还有雅思听说读写、语法基础知识等内容。 星球目前的价格是388元/年，欢迎加入。如不适合，星球可以3天无理由退款，付的款会原路返还给你。

你好呀，欢迎收听：英语考试Cat 🐱🐱🐱🐱 00:09 Do you enjoy watching sports on TV? No, not really, I'm just not big into sports, so it's not something I'm going to make a point to watch or anything like that. I might watch a quick "short" or video on Tiktok or on some other platform if there is something going kinda viral, such as some type of "remarkable play in a sport", but other than that, no, and certainly not on TV as I don't have one, actually. * not big into：对……不太感兴趣 * make a point to：特意 * going kinda viral：有点火 * some type of：某种 * remarkable play in a sport：体育比赛的精彩瞬间 00:40 Have you ever been to watch a live sports event (e.g. in a stadium)? Yes, indeed. Last year, I attended a professional league baseball game at a massive stadium in Texas. If I remember correctly, it was a match between Kansas and Texas. The stadium was teeming with thousands of enthusiastic fans. The atmosphere was electric; everyone was passionately cheering for Texas. The large screens in the stadium were used to hype up the crowd, constantly urging us to get louder. Initially, I wasn't very familiar with the ins and outs of baseball, and I think that sounds like a pun haha, as I learnt baseball has its "ins" or "innings" and "outs" for scoring. Fortunately, I had a knowledgeable friend by my side who patiently explained the game's rules as it unfolded. It was an unforgettable experience, and I really got a taste of the excitement and energy that live sporting events can offer. * attended a professional league baseball game：看了一场职业棒球联赛 * a massive stadium：一个大型体育场 * a match between：一场……之间的比赛 * teeming with：充满；挤满 * enthusiastic fans：热情的球迷 * the atmosphere was electric：气氛热烈 * passionately cheering for：热情地为……欢呼 * large screens：大屏幕 * hype up the crowd：活跃现场气氛；煽动观众情绪 * constantly urging us to：不断催促我们…… * initially：起初；一开始 * familiar with the ins and outs of：熟悉……的来龙去脉 * sounds like a pun：听起来像个双关 * fortunately：幸运的是 * knowledgeable：懂行的 * by my side：在我身边 * patiently explained：耐心地解释 * the game's rules：比赛规则 * unfold：展开；进行 * an unforgettable experience：一次难忘的经历 * got a taste of：体验到；感受到 * live sporting events：现场体育赛事 01:50 Is there a sports event you might like to watch in the future? From the experience I just mentioned, I would definitely love to attend a live basketball or football game in a stadium someday. Although I'm not an avid sports fanatic, I'm eager to soak up the vibrant atmosphere among thousands of fellow spectators. Sport events are charged with intensity and competition. It's fascinating to observe how players work in seamless harmony, using their individual skills to achieve a common goal of victory. It's an immersive experience and let me feel a collective excitement and the passion of the crowd. * I would definitely love to attend：我很想去看 * an avid sports fanatic：一个狂热的体育迷 * eager to：渴望 * soak up the vibrant atmosphere：沉浸在热烈的氛围中 * spectators：观众 * charged with intensity：充满紧张感 * work in seamless harmony：无缝协作；默契配合 * seamless harmony：默契 * individual：个人的；个体的 * achieve a common goal：实现共同目标 * victory：胜利 * an immersive experience：一种身临其境的体验 * a collective excitement：一种集体的兴奋感 * the passion of the crowd：人群的热情 02:36 Do you think it's more enjoyable to watch sports alone or with other people? Oh, without a doubt, with friends for sure. Honestly, to watch alone would be boring, but that's just because I'm not into sports, as I mentioned before. Sharing reactions, whether it's the thrill of a great play or the disappointment of a missed opportunity, it creates a special bond among the viewers. Also, people rooting for the same team often find common ground and a shared enthusiasm, which I guess for some could also easily create new friendships. * for sure：肯定；毫无疑问 * would be boring：会很无聊 * not into：不喜欢；对…… 不感兴趣 * the thrill of a great play：精彩比赛的激动人心之处 * the disappointment of：对…… 的失望 * a missed opportunity：一次错失的机会 * a special bond among：…… 之间的一种特殊纽带 * rooting for：支持；为…… 加油 * find common ground：找到共同点；达成共识 * a shared enthusiasm：一种共同的热情 * for some：对有些人来说 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 顺便打个广告： 欢迎朋友们加入我的【知识星球】 里面有10万字的雅思口语书，内容梗概： (1) 78个Part 1话题语料 (2) 55个Part 3话题语料 (3) 40个Part 2话题语料 (4) 雅思口语高分tips (5) 雅思口语高分词汇表达 这本口语书是PDF的，放在了我的知识星球，星球里除了这本书，还有雅思听说读写、语法基础知识等内容。 星球目前的价格是388元/年，欢迎加入。如不适合，星球可以3天无理由退款，付的款会原路返还给你。

你好呀，欢迎收听：英语考试Cat 🐱🐱🐱🐱 00:05 How often do you look at yourself in a mirror? Hmmm, well, I'd say I glance at myself in the mirror quite frequently since we have a large oval-shaped mirror on the wall of my living room in a convenient spot, so it's always easy for a quick self-assessment. I also use it whenever I'm tidying up my hair or applying a touch of makeup before heading out, and in that way, it's become a routine part of my pre-outing ritual. I also take a moment to check my overall look when I'm putting on a nice shirt, making sure the fit and the way it pairs with my other accessories are on point. So, come to think of it, I'd say it's safe to say that it's part of my daily life, and that I probably look at myself in the mirror several times a day, even without really thinking about it. * glance at：瞥一眼；扫视 * oval-shaped：椭圆形的 * a convenient spot：一个便利的地点 * self-assessment：自我检查 * tidying up：整理；收拾 * applying a touch of makeup：化一点妆 * heading out：外出 * a routine part of：……的常规部分 * pre-outing ritual：出门前的习惯（仪式） * take a moment to：花一点时间做…… * on point：恰到好处 01:01 Have you ever bought a mirror? Absolutely, the last time I purchased a mirror was a few months ago, from the Palace Museum's online store. The mirror had an exquisitely designed back, reminiscent of the opulent ceilings in the Palace Museum. The craftsmanship was remarkable, with intricate details that added a touch of elegance and historical charm to it. I decided to give it as a parting gift to my roommate in Singapore, knowing how much she appreciated art and beautiful objects. When she received it, she was over the moon. In fact, she was so enamored with it that she couldn't bear to open the box right away. She wanted to preserve its pristine condition and keep it as a cherished memento. It was a special moment for us, and I'm glad I chose such a meaningful gift for her. * exquisitely designed：精心设计的 * reminiscent of：使人想起…… * opulent ceilings：华丽的天花板 * craftsmanship：工艺；手艺 * remarkable：非凡的；引人注目 * intricate details：精细的细节 * added a touch of elegance：增添了一丝优雅 * historical charm：历史魅力 * a parting gift：临别礼物；分手礼物 * over the moon：欣喜若狂；兴高采烈 * enamored with：喜爱；对……倾心 * couldn't bear to：不忍心 * pristine condition：原始的状态；完好无损的状态 * memento：纪念品 [Image] 02:00 Would you buy clothes without checking yourself in a mirror first? I guess so, as I'm guilty of buying things online, particularly casual items like T-shirts or pajamas that are relatively inexpensive and don't require a perfect fit. I reckon that even if they don't fit perfectly, they'll still be comfortable and serve their purpose. However, when it comes to more formal attire, I'm much more meticulous and make it a point to try on the clothes and examine myself in the mirror from every angle. I check for the fit, the length, the way it drapes, and how it complements my body shape, etcetera. I want to be absolutely certain that the clothes not only look good but also make me feel confident and comfortable. Also, I don't want to waste money on something I’m not happy with. * guilty of：对……感到愧疚；有……的行为（这里指有不试穿就购买衣服这种行为） * pajamas：睡衣 * relatively inexpensive：相对便宜 * a perfect fit：十分合身 * serve their purpose：达到它们的目的；起作用；有用 * formal attire：正装 * meticulous：小心翼翼的；非常注意细节的 * make it a point to：特意；必定要 * the fit：（衣服的）合身度 * drapes：悬垂（此处指衣服的垂坠感） * complement：与……相配；衬托 * waste money on：在……上浪费钱 02:58 Do you think mirrors are a good way to decorate a room? Sure, I think mirrors can be an excellent add-on to a room's decor, especially when they're ornate and well-placed. Mirrors make a room appear larger and more open. A full-length mirror, or one that is oval in particular, can be a focal point in a room, adding a touch of class. There's also a psychological aspect to it. People are naturally drawn to mirrors, as they provide an opportunity to see themselves and check themselves out. Mirrors can also reflect light, brightening up a room and making it feel more inviting. Whether it's a small decorative mirror on a wall or a large statement piece, mirrors have the potential to transform the look and feel of a room no doubt. * add-on：附加物；增添的东西 * decor：装饰 * ornate：华丽的；精美的 * well-placed：放置得当的 * a full-length mirror：全身镜 * a focal point：焦点 * a touch of class：一丝优雅 * a psychological aspect：一个心理层面 * naturally drawn to：本能地被……所吸引 * check...out：查看；打量 * reflect：反射 * brighten up：（使）变明亮 * inviting：吸引人的 * decorative：装饰性的；作装饰用的 * statement piece：（能成为房间等亮点的）醒目物品 * the potential to：有……的潜力 * transform：使改观；使转化 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 顺便打个广告： 欢迎朋友们加入我的【知识星球】 里面有10万字的雅思口语书，内容梗概： (1) 78个Part 1话题语料 (2) 55个Part 3话题语料 (3) 40个Part 2话题语料 (4) 雅思口语高分tips (5) 雅思口语高分词汇表达 这本口语书是PDF的，放在了我的知识星球，星球里除了这本书，还有雅思听说读写、语法基础知识等内容。 星球目前的价格是388元/年，欢迎加入。如不适合，星球可以3天无理由退款，付的款会原路返还给你。

你好呀，欢迎收听：英语考试Cat 🐱🐱🐱🐱 00:10 Do you like handwriting? Actually, yes, I do. I have a profound affection for handwriting. I feel like the act of grasping a pen and jotting down notes in a notebook is an emotionally satisfying experience for me, especially if I'm writing down things I think are important, such as ideas, facts or about my experiences. I kinda feel like it's a type of meditation actually, which I think is similar with the art form of Chinese calligraphy. In fact, I think my passion for handwriting was nurtured during my childhood when I dedicated two years to practicing Chinese calligraphy daily. It wasn't just a routine because the experience taught me the beauty of Chinese character strokes, the rhythm of writing, and the patience required to perfect each character. So even today, whenever I hold a pen, I have a reflexive emotion connected to holding a pen and writing down my thoughts. * a profound affection for：对……有着深厚的喜爱 * grasp：握住，抓住 * jotting down notes：记笔记 * an emotionally satisfying experience：一种在情感上令人满足的体验 * a type of meditation：一种冥想方式 * the art form of：……的艺术形式 * Chinese calligraphy：中国书法 * my passion for：我对……的热爱 * nurtured：培养；滋养；培育 * dedicated...to...：把……奉献给……；致力于…… * Chinese character strokes：汉字笔画 * the rhythm of：……的节奏 * the patience required to：做……所需的耐心 * perfect (v.)：使完美；完善； * reflexive emotion：本能的情感 01:08 Do you think handwriting is important? Sure, yes, I think so. In fact, I'd say the ability to handwrite is of utmost importance. Before the ubiquitous use of computers, handwritten documents were the primary means of record-keeping, but even today, a person who can write legibly and who has beautiful penmanship is impressive and I think is still held to be an admirable trait. * of utmost importance：极其重要的 * the ubiquitous use of：……的普遍使用 * the primary means of record-keeping：主要的记录方式 * write legibly：书写清晰 * beautiful penmanship：漂亮的书法，优美的字迹 * impressive：给人深刻印象的，令人钦佩的 * held to be：被看作是 * an admirable trait：一个令人钦佩的特质 [Image] 01:37 Which do you prefer, handwriting or typing? Actually, I'd say it depends as it's contextual. For example, when it comes to activities like reading a book and taking notes, I definitely will write down my thoughts by hand, and I feel there's something immersive about scribbling my thoughts in the margins of a book. But if I need to write an essay or article, then I prefer typing, no doubt, as it's easy to delete, edit, copy, paste, re-arrange, and ultimately, allows me to craft my articles. Also, my speed and efficiency in typing is much greater than my writing. * contextual：取决于上下文/具体情境 * write down my thoughts：写下我的想法 * immersive：使人全神贯注的；有身临其境之感的 * scribbling：潦草地书写（scribble的现在分词形式） * in the margins of a book：在书的页边空白处 02:24 What's the difference between handwriting and typing? I think the disparities between handwriting and typing are multi-faceted, but at a fundamental level, I think handwriting is more organic and tactile as it involves the physical movement of my hand, the pressure exerted on the pen, and the flow of ink on paper, giving me a tangible sense of creation. In contrast, typing is a mechanical action of pressing keys on a keyboard. So, I guess that's the number one difference, a physical difference. Additionally, handwriting is unique as it seems to be influenced by personality, mood, and writing habits. It can convey a sense of individuality and emotion, whereas typing is a little less impersonal in that way. But as I mentioned before, I think typing, providing you're good at it, is much more efficient and negates the difficulty for others to have to decipher one's handwriting. * the disparities between：……之间的差别 * multi-faceted：多方面的 * organic：自然流畅的，非机械的 * tactile：触觉的；有触感的；可触摸的 * the physical movement of：肢体动作 * the pressure exerted on：施加在……上的压力 * the flow of ：……的流动 * a tangible sense of：一种切实的、可感知的……感觉 * a mechanical action of：……的机械动作 * press keys on a keyboard：敲键盘 * unique：独特的 * convey a sense of：传达出一种……的感觉 * individuality：个性；独特性 * impersonal：没有人情味的；缺乏个性的 * negate：否定；使无效；消除 * decipher：解读；辨认（难认的文字等） ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 顺便打个广告： 欢迎朋友们加入我的【知识星球】 里面有10万字的雅思口语书，内容梗概： (1) 78个Part 1话题语料 (2) 55个Part 3话题语料 (3) 40个Part 2话题语料 (4) 雅思口语高分tips (5) 雅思口语高分词汇表达 这本口语书是PDF的，放在了我的知识星球，星球里除了这本书，还有雅思听说读写、语法基础知识等内容。 星球目前的价格是388元/年，欢迎加入。如不适合，星球可以3天无理由退款，付的款会原路返还给你。

你好呀，欢迎收听：英语考试Cat 🐱🐱🐱🐱 00:10 Are you an ambitious person? I'd say to some degree, yes, but I'm not the type to dedicate myself totally to just one ambition, in other words, I enjoy achieving any goal that I have set out to reach. So in that way, I think I can consider myself ambitious. The idea of settling for a so-called "iron rice bowl" job, where the trajectory of one's working life is, to some extent, pre-determined and with a job that lacks excitement, well, it simply isn't my cup of tea. So in that way, I guess I'm ambitious in the way of wanting to fulfill my wishes and dreams, so it means I work hard, but I do also like just relaxing and reading and just enjoying the view so to speak, you know, taking time to smell the roses. * to some degree：在某种程度上 * not the type to：不是那种……的人 * dedicate myself totally to：全身心投入到…… * ambition：抱负；志向；野心 * achieving any goal that I have set out to reach：实现立下的任何目标 * ambitious：有抱负的 * the idea of：……的想法 * settling for：勉强接受；将就 * iron-rice-bowl job：铁饭碗工作 * the trajectory of：……的轨迹 * pre-determined：预先决定的 * my cup of tea：合我心意 * fulfill my wishes：实现我的愿望 * enjoying the view：享受当下的状态/惬意时光 * taking time to smell the roses：享受生活中的美好时刻 01:07 What are your ambitions in life? Hmmm, I think first and foremost, I would have to say that I want to satisfy my desire to travel. I want to continually travel to new countries. I'm always eager to explore more cultures across the globe, learning more about different cultures and ways of living. And I think the second is that I'm determined to further my education overseas as I think studying in a different academic environment can expose me to new ideas and new ways of thinking. And I guess lastly is that I aspire to engage in work that I'm passionate about. * first and foremost：首先 * satisfy my desire to：满足……的愿望 * eager to：渴望 * across the globe：世界各地 * ways of living：生活方式 * determined to：决心 * further my education：继续深造 * overseas：在海外 * academic environment：学术环境 * expose myself to new ideas：接触到新的想法 * new ways of thinking：新的思维方式 * aspire to：渴望；追求 * engage in：从事；参与 * passionate about：对……充满热情 [Image] 01:54 Have you ever achieved your ambitions? I'm happy to say, yes, I have. I can say my first ambition was to learn English. I think I've worked really hard to improve my English, and I know I still have a long way to go, but I wanted to learn because it's interesting to know how other people in another language communicate. Also, before I mentioned about further education, and recently, I feel proud to say, I successfully obtained a master's degree from a top-ranking university in Singapore. I can say that this experience was a realization of a lifelong dream, a lifelong ambition. * worked really hard to improve：非常努力地去提高 * still have a long way to go：还有很长的路要走 * communicate：交流；沟通 * further education：深造 * feel proud：感到自豪 * obtained：获得 * a top-ranking university：一所顶尖大学 * a realization of a lifelong dream：实现了一生的梦想 02:40 Are you the kind of person who sticks to your dreams? I'd say so. In fact, my friends often comment on my perseverance. Once I set a goal, regardless of how seemingly unattainable it may appear initially, I approach it steadfastly. I break down the goal into smaller, manageable steps and create a plan to achieve each one. Of course, along the way, there are numerous obstacles, but I do my best to view them as opportunities for growth rather than a reason to give up. * comment on：对……发表评论；评价 * perseverance：毅力；坚持不懈；不屈不挠的精神 * once I set a goal：一旦我设定了一个目标 * regardless of：不管；无论 * unattainable：无法达到的；难以获得的 * appear initially：最初看起来；一开始显得 * approach...steadfastly：坚定地处理……；坚定不移地对待…… * break down...into smaller, manageable steps：把……分解成更小的、可处理的步骤 * create a plan：制定一个计划 * numerous obstacles：众多的障碍；无数的困难 * do my best：尽我最大的努力 * view them as opportunities for growth：把它们视为成长的机会 * rather than：而不是 * a reason to give up：放弃的理由 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 顺便打个广告： 欢迎朋友们加入我的【知识星球】 里面有10万字的雅思口语书，内容梗概： (1) 78个Part 1话题语料 (2) 55个Part 3话题语料 (3) 40个Part 2话题语料 (4) 雅思口语高分tips (5) 雅思口语高分词汇表达 这本口语书是PDF的，放在了我的知识星球，星球里除了这本书，还有雅思听说读写、语法基础知识等内容。 星球目前的价格是388元/年，欢迎加入。如不适合，星球可以3天无理由退款，付的款会原路返还给你。

你好呀，欢迎收听：英语考试Cat 🐱🐱🐱🐱 00:07 Are traditional handicrafts important to tourism? Yes, traditional handicrafts play a significant role in tourism, especially in heritage or cultural destinations, in fact, "tourist destinations". They can often be one of the main attractions for visitors as they reflect the local culture and traditions of the area. For example, in ancient towns, tourists might see artisans weaving baskets, carving wood, or making pottery, providing a first-hand experience of the local lifestyle. In this way, handicrafts enrich tourism by offering cultural depth and memorable experiences. * traditional handicrafts：传统手工艺品 * play a significant role in：在…… 中发挥重要作用 * heritage：遗产；传统 * cultural destinations：文化旅游目的地 * main attractions：主要景点；主要吸引人之处 * reflect the local culture：反映当地文化 * ancient towns：古镇 * weaving baskets：编篮子 * carving wood：木雕 * first-hand experience：亲身体验 * enrich：丰富 * cultural depth：文化深度 * memorable：难忘的 [Image] 00:55 Why do many children like to make things by hand? Well, I guess it's because children are naturally curious and love trying new things. By creating something themselves, they explore how things are made and better understand the world around them. For instance, when children build crafts like paper airplanes or clay models, they're engaging with their creativity, the creative part of their brain and mind, and it's fun to do. I never had this type of toy when I was a kid, but this is why LEGO is so popular. You can make whatever you want, it's pretty cool for kids, I think. This type of activity not only satisfies their curiosity but also helps them develop important skills like eye-hand coordination, problem-solving and using their imagination. * naturally curious：天生好奇 * explore how things are made：探索事物是如何制作的 * better understand the world around them：更好地理解他们周围的世界 * build crafts：制作手工艺品 * paper airplanes：纸飞机 * clay models：黏土模型 * engaging with：参与；激发 * it's pretty cool：这相当酷 * this type of activity：这类活动 * satisfies their curiosity：满足他们的好奇心 * develop important skills：培养重要技能 * eye-hand coordination：手眼协调能力 * problem-solving：解决问题（能力） * imagination：想象力 [Image] 01:53 Is it reasonable to charge a high price for handmade things? Yeah, I think so, at least a higher price than a factory-produced item, but of course, there are handmade things that might be a little more on the expensive side. For example, if the item requires a lot of time, effort, and skill to create, such as intricate embroidery, then a higher price is surely justified. I mean, handmade items often have a unique artistic value and require craftsmanship, both of which mass-produced goods lack, making them worth the cost. Therefore, I do think it's reasonable to value handmade work highly, as long as the price reflects the effort and skill involved. * a higher price than：比……更高的价格 * a factory - produced item：工厂生产的产品 * handmade things：手工制品 * on the expensive side：偏贵 * requires：需要 * intricate embroidery：复杂的刺绣 * is surely justified：肯定是合理的 * a unique artistic value：独特的艺术价值 * craftsmanship：工艺技巧；手艺 * mass-produced goods：大批量生产的商品 * worth the cost：物有所值 * value...highly：高度重视；给予……很高的价值 * reflects：反映；体现 * the effort and skill involved：所投入的精力和技能 [Image] 02:49 How does modern technology change the handicraft industry? Oh, that's a difficult question. I actually don't know "how" off the top of my head, but I guess it has brought both improvements and challenges to the handicraft industry. It's kinda like where does "craftmanship" end and "machine made" begin? On the one hand, I think it can enhance efficiency by providing better tools, such as laser cutters or design software, which allow artisans to create high-quality products. But, for example, in digital embroidery, where digital embroidery machines can replicate complex designs with precision, so even though the artwork may have been original, it is, nevertheless, still a mass-produced item. So overall, I think technology can help modernize craftsmanship, but at the same time, it also threatens the very survival of traditional handmade workmanship practices, so it certainly is a double-edged sword no doubt. * improvements：改进；提升 * it's kinda like：有点像 * where does "craftsmanship" end and "machine made" begin：手工艺的界限在哪，机器制造又从何开始（难以界定手工艺与机器制造的界限） * enhance efficiency：提高效率 * laser cutters：激光切割机 * design software：设计软件 * artisans：工匠；手艺人 * high-quality products：高质量产品 * digital embroidery：数码刺绣 * replicate complex designs with precision：精确复制复杂图案 * modernize craftsmanship：使手工艺现代化 * threatens the very survival of：威胁到……的生存 * workmanship practices：手工技艺实践 * a double-edged sword：一把双刃剑 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 顺便打个广告： 欢迎朋友们加入我的【知识星球】 里面有10万字的雅思口语书，内容梗概： (1) 78个Part 1话题语料 (P9-P141) (2) 54个Part 3话题语料 (P142-274) (3) 36个Part 2话题语料 (P275-347) (4) 雅思口语高分tips (P348-364) (5) 雅思口语高分词汇表达 (P365-407) 这本口语书是PDF的，放在了我的知识星球，星球里除了这本书，还有雅思听说读写、语法基础知识等内容。 星球目前的价格是388元/年，欢迎加入。如不适合，星球可以3天无理由退款，付的款会原路返还给你。

你好呀，欢迎收听：英语考试Cat 🐱🐱🐱🐱 Describe a person who likes to make things by hand (e.g. toys, furniture) You should say: * Who this person is * What he/she makes * Why he/she likes to make things by hand * And explain how you feel about the person [Image] I’d like to talk about a young girl I met at a shopping mall who enjoys making handcrafted products. I stumbled upon her stall during a visit I made to the mall, and what caught my attention immediately was the colorful, handmade accessories displayed, in fact, they kinda covered the whole booth, so, at first, I hadn’t even noticed her sitting behind the stall because her creations were so eye-catching! She makes and sells a variety of items, all handcrafted with yarn, including headbands, small handbags, and an assortment of delicate flowers. Actually, I even bought a cat-shaped hair clip from her, which was so adorable I couldn’t resist. You could tell that she injects a great deal of effort and creativity into every piece, so each one had its own unique charm. While I didn’t ask her directly, I think she must really enjoy what she does. Her stall was packed with her handmade creations, which seemed to reflect her passion. It takes patience and dedication to make such intricate things by hand, and I could sense her pride in displaying them. I complimented her on her artwork and we spoke a bit. I truly admire her for her talent and imagination. Her dexterity and ability to bring these ideas to life are amazing, I think. Personally, I’ve always wished I could do something similar, like making flowers out of yarn, but I’ve got two left thumbs. * Handcrafted products - 手工制作的产品 * Stall - 小摊位 * What caught my attention immediately - 立刻吸引我注意的是 * Handmade accessories - 手工饰品 * Eye-catching - 引人注目 * A variety of items - 各种各样的物品 * Handcrafted with yarn - 用毛线手工制作的 * Headbands - 发带 * An assortment of - 各式各样的 * Adorable - 可爱的 * Resist - 抵挡住 * You could tell that - 看得出来 * Injects - 注入 * A great deal of effort - 大量的努力 * Ask her directly - 直接问她 * Enjoy what she does - 热爱她所做的事情 * Handmade creations - 手工作品 * Reflect her passion - 反映出她的热情 * It takes patience and dedication to - 这需要耐心和投入去…… * Intricate - 精致复杂 * By hand - 手工 * Sense her pride in - 感觉到她对……的自豪 * Complimented her on her... - 称赞她的…… * Spoke a bit - 聊了一会儿 * Truly admire her for her... - 真心佩服她的…… * Imagination - 想象力 * Dexterity - 灵巧 * Bring these ideas to life - 将这些想法付诸实践 * Got two left thumbs - 笨手笨脚 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 顺便打个广告： 欢迎朋友们加入我的【知识星球】 里面有10万字的雅思口语书，内容梗概： (1) 78个Part 1话题语料 (P9-P141) (2) 54个Part 3话题语料 (P142-274) (3) 36个Part 2话题语料 (P275-347) (4) 雅思口语高分tips (P348-364) (5) 雅思口语高分词汇表达 (P365-407) 这本口语书是PDF的，放在了我的知识星球，星球里除了这本书，还有雅思听说读写、语法基础知识等内容。 星球目前的价格是388元/年，欢迎加入。如不适合，星球可以3天无理由退款，付的款会原路返还给你。

你好呀，欢迎收听：英语考试Cat 🐱🐱🐱🐱 00:10 Do you like perfume? Yes, I do. Some perfumes smell really fragrant, and they can be fun to explore. In fact, my friends and I have this little ritual whenever we happen to walk into a Miniso store—we sniff different perfumes together. We hold the tester sticks up to each other's noses, try to guess the names, and end up laughing at the funny guesses. It's a simple way to enjoy perfumes and share a good laugh. * Fragrant - 芳香 * Ritual - 习惯性活动，小仪式 * Happen to - 碰巧 * Sniff - 嗅，闻 * Tester sticks - 试香棒 * Guess - 猜 * End up laughing - 最后忍不住大笑 * Share a good laugh - 一起开心地笑 00:39 Do you use perfume? I do, but only on special occasions like parties or events, or when I’m in a particularly good mood. On regular days, I rarely wear perfume, mostly because I don’t feel the need for it or I just don’t bother. I see perfume as more of an accessory rather than something essential for everyday life. When I do wear it, I enjoy the subtle confidence boost it gives me, but I also think it’s perfectly fine to go without it most of the time. * On special occasions - 在特殊场合 * In a particularly good mood - 心情特别好的时候 * Wear perfume - 喷香水 * Feel the need for it - 觉得有这个必要 * Don't bother - 懒得 * An accessory - 一种配饰 * Essential - 必需品 * Everyday life - 日常生活 * Subtle - 微妙的 * confidence boost - 信心提升 * It's perfectly fine to - 完全没问题... / ...是完全可以的 [Image] 01:11 Where do you spray perfume? For me, I usually spray it once into the air in front of me and then walk through it. That’s my go-to method for applying perfume as it distributes the scent evenly without being too overwhelming. Sometimes, I’ll also spray a small amount on my wrists or pulse points—those areas where the blood vessels are closer to the skin, like the neck or inner wrists. * Spray - 喷洒 * My go-to method - 我的惯用方法 / 我的首选方法 * Applying perfume - 喷香水 * Distributes the scent evenly - 香味分布均匀 * Overwhelming - 过于浓烈 * Wrists - 手腕 * Pulse points - 脉搏点 * Blood vessels - 血管 01:40 Do you send perfume to others as a gift? Yeah, but only to people I know very well, because choosing the wrong perfume can sometimes backfire I think. I remember though one time I gifted a small bottle of perfume to a close friend, and it turned out she really appreciated it. I think that's the only time I've given perfume as a gift. For me, perfume is a very personal item, so if I do give perfume, I'd prefer to gift it only when I'm confident about the recipient’s taste. * Backfire - 适得其反 * Gifted - 赠送了 * A close friend - 一位好友 * Really appreciated it - 非常感激 / 非常喜欢 * Personal item - 私人物品 * Recipient - 接收者，收礼的人 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 顺便打个广告： 欢迎朋友们加入我的【知识星球】 里面有10万字的雅思口语书，内容梗概： (1) 78个Part 1话题语料 (P9-P141) (2) 54个Part 3话题语料 (P142-274) (3) 36个Part 2话题语料 (P275-347) (4) 雅思口语高分tips (P348-364) (5) 雅思口语高分词汇表达 (P365-407) 这本口语书是PDF的，放在了我的知识星球，星球里除了这本书，还有雅思听说读写、语法基础知识等内容。 星球目前的价格是388元/年，欢迎加入。如不适合，星球可以3天无理由退款，付的款会原路返还给你。

你好呀，欢迎收听：英语考试Cat 🐱🐱🐱🐱 00:10 Who should people ask for advice on big issues, family members or friends? That’s an interesting question. I believe the answer really depends on the nature of the issue and the expertise or experience of the people you’re consulting. For example, if someone is trying to decide on a major for university, they might turn to both family members or friends who have attended college and can offer insights into the fields of study, job opportunities, and overall experiences. Alternatively, if someone is going through a tough breakup, a close friend might be the better person to turn to, as they are likely to empathize and offer support without judgment. Ultimately though, whether to seek advice from family members or friends, I think, depends on the specific nature of the issue and the type of guidance required. [Image] 01:08 Do you think the advice parents give their children is always good? Well, I'd say it really depends on the nature of the advice and the stage of a child's life. When children are young and lack life experience or decision-making skills, parental advice is usually positive and beneficial as parents' guidance helps kids address basic challenges and develop a sense of right and wrong; However, as children grow older and become more independent, parents' advice might not always align with the realities of the child's life. Take choosing a major for university, for instance, a situation for which many parents, especially in China, often push their children toward traditional fields like teacher-training programs or accounting for daughters and civil engineering or IT for sons, but while these may have been secure options in the past, industries evolve, and what once offered stability may no longer be the best choice for a child's future, especially in this day and age when AI is becoming ubiquitous. Hence, while parents' advice often comes from a place of the heart and experience, it's not always applicable, particularly as children grow older, and so, all things considered, I think it’s important for children to balance their parents' guidance with their own research and judgment to make more informed choices. [Image] 02:48 Why do some people like to ask others for advice on almost everything? Hmm, I think one reason is that it can stem from their upbringing—specifically, if decisions were consistently made for them while growing up. When people are accustomed to relying on others for decisions, they may struggle to trust their own judgment. For instance, if their parents or guardians chose everything for them, from the clothes they wore to the jobs they pursued, they might feel uncertain when faced with choices on their own. No matter what the case though, I would say the deep-seated reason is a lack of confidence, so, whether this sort of decision-making dependence is due to micro-managing parents or is due to some other reason, such as a fear of being wrong, no matter, I think it comes down to a lack of confidence. [Image] 03:52 Do people often ask advice from professional people, like a lawyer? Well, I think many people do seek professional advice, but I don’t think it's often and I think only as a last resort, I mean, after asking friends and family about a problem or some legal issue and still being unsure how to proceed, then I think consulting a professional is generally going to be the next logical step. Take for example, the general field of investing. I would say most people who become interested in investing will talk to both family and friends, but later on, they may find themselves concerned about the market, or concerned about their next financial endeavour, and so might talk to a market specialist, such as at the bank or a financial investment firm. So, while professionals like lawyers certainly provide valuable advice, and no doubt people need such advice, I think, first, most will talk to their peers and family members, but if the informal advice proves inadequate or the issue becomes too complex to handle, then people will consult a professional. Overall though, I think for most people it is not often, and perhaps for most, the necessity to seek professional advice will only occur just a few times in their life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 顺便打个广告： 欢迎朋友们加入我的【知识星球】 里面有10万字的雅思口语书，内容梗概： (1) 78个Part 1话题语料 (P9-P141) (2) 54个Part 3话题语料 (P142-274) (3) 36个Part 2话题语料 (P275-347) (4) 雅思口语高分tips (P348-364) (5) 雅思口语高分词汇表达 (P365-407) 这本口语书是PDF的，放在了我的知识星球，星球里除了这本书，还有雅思听说读写、语法基础知识等内容。 星球目前的价格是388元/年，欢迎加入。如不适合，星球可以3天无理由退款，付的款会原路返还给你。
