粤读时光，看见生命中嘅光。

Hello，我最近睇到咗两个与人相处嘅技巧，
想分享俾你。

我想同你分享嘅第一个技巧系，
点样加人哋嘅微信呢？
加微信有两个方法，
叫人哋扫你嘅二维码，
或者你扫人哋嘅二维码。

呢两种方法有乜野唔同呢？
如果你叫人哋扫你嘅二维码，
你就要打开自己嘅二维码，
对方加咗之后，
你仲要gam6 一吓同意，
而对方只系需要扫一扫。

但系如果你扫人哋嘅二维码，
咁人哋就要打开二维码，
仲要同意你嘅申请。

边种方法好啲？ 
如果你系一个为他人着想嘅人，
加人嗰时应该叫人哋扫你嘅二维码。

点解？
如果你扫咗对方，
对方只系需要做一个动作。
而且如果你扫咗对方嘅二维码，
但系对方一下唔记得咗通过你，
咁就麻烦啦，
你哋嘅交流就会中断。

其实叫人哋扫自己，
系一种为他人着想嘅思维方式。

第二个技巧系关于点样约人哋，
如果你咁样问人哋，
你听日下昼三点得唔得闲啊？
人哋可能唔知应该点样答你，
因为佢唔知你嘅意图系乜嘢。

而更好嘅方法系咁样问，
我想开一个会讨论一下产品嘅改进方法，
打算听日下昼三点开会，
唔会你到时得唔得闲参加一下呢？

用呢种方式会令对方觉得更加舒服。
因为你照顾咗佢嘅感受，
将佢心入面嘅疑虑打消咗。

以前成日听到与人相处最高嘅艺术就系舒服，
细个嗰时冇乜嘢感觉，
但是越大就越觉得与人相处舒服好重要。
人生不过短短三万几日，
其实一般人都想同令自己觉得舒服嘅人相处。 

粤读时光，看见生命中嘅光。


最后打个小广告，微信小程序“小草粤语”更新咗新嘅版本啦，
呢个小程序非常适合零基础的同学使用，扫描文中的二维码，或者在微信搜索“小草粤语”就可以找到我的小程序啦。

先讲到呢度，我哋下次再见，拜拜！

Les cailloux blancs
Il faut faire quelque chose pour mon papa taupe qui creuse tout le temps. Il se perd dans ses galeries! Il ne trouve jamais son chemin. Ce n'est pas rigolo. Alors, comme je suis une petite taupe très intelligente, j'ai eu une bonne idée: j’ai semé des cailloux blancs derrière mon papa qui creusait. Comme ça, nous retrouvons tout de suite le chemin de notre salle à manger souterraine! Pour les taupes, hip! hip! hip! hourra!

3 Useful Phrases for IELTS Speaking Part 1, 2 and 3. Listen now.

Imagine being versatile in your language expressions? 

What would it include?

Will you sound different? Use complicated words? Or you'll speek faster?

These can be your strategies for success.

Below are some ideas that you can inject in your speech that will help you get a higher IELTS speaking score.

Here they are:

Transition Words - In the speaking section, transition words can help you to structure your response and give your ideas more clearly. Some common transition words and phrases include "Moreover, " "in addition, " "Furthermore, " "however, " "nevertheless, " "on the other hand, " "as a result, " "consequently, " "therefore, " "in conclusion, " and "to sum up."

Next are conditionals - The best way to approach part three of the exam is to expand your answers as much as possible. The topics are usually very broad, and the examiner wants to hear you speak in depth about a topic not answer as quickly as possible. This is your chance to shine!

Here are some conditionals you can use :

a) Zero Conditionals 

They are used to describe factual situations. Both clauses are in the simple present tense.


When it rains, I take the bus.

b) First Conditionals 
They are used to express what will most likely happen in the future if a certain condition is met. The ‘if’ phrase is normally in the present tense, and the following clause frequently includes a verb such as ‘will,’ ‘can’, or ‘might,’. 

If I get the required band score for IELTS, I will migrate to Canada.

c) Second Conditionals

They are used to express an improbable circumstance. The ‘if’ phrase is in the past tense, whereas the following clause frequently includes a verb such as ‘would’ or ‘could’.


If I were the mayor of our city, I would ban the use of plastics.

In my 1-1 classes I and my students go deeper into details of structuring your answers to make them vivid and crispy clear to examiners.
