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.

5 ways to say "thank you" in Chinese

Hi everyone, in this episode I talk about where I prefer to swim, in a pool or in a lake.  Which do you prefer? Let me know in the comments :)

Nordic countries are often said to be some of the happiest in the world — and they may be some of the most sustainable places to visit too.

If you're not sure what it means to travel sustainably, the Global Destination Sustainability (GDS) Index may be able to help.

Now in its ninth year, it ranks places across the world based on things like destination management and environmental performance.

One hundred destinations were included in the 2024 index, with Helsinki in first place.

More than 50% of the Finnish capital's electricity is renewable, more than 30% of its buses are electric, and 49% of its waste is recycled.

Helsinki has also set a goal of being carbon neutral by 2030, and there are lots of green spaces around the city — almost 10,000 hectares per 100,000 people, according to Condé Nast Traveler.

Helsinki has previously ranked well in the GDS index, coming in fourth place in 2023, although this is the first time it's taken the top spot.

"Being named the world's most sustainable travel destination is proof of the long-term work that has been done in Helsinki," Helsinki Mayor Juhana Vartiainen said.

The other cities in the GDS' top five for 2024 are also in Nordic countries, with Gothenburg in second place. The city, which is in the west of Sweden, ranked first in 2023.

Copenhagen, Denmark, ranked third, Norway's Bergen came in fourth, and another Danish city, Arthus, was in fifth place.

Most of the top 20 cities were in Europe, too, with the exception of Singapore in seventh place, Sydney, Australia, in 10th place, and Goyang, South Korea, in 16th place.
