Today I'm talking about a phrasal verb that you can use to say that you've lost interest or enthusiasm for something. A phrasal verb that means that you're discouraged from doing something. This is the phrasal verb to "put off", which we can also use as an adjective, "off putting". I hope you find this useful!

Beginner Chinese Listening

Halo semua! 
Hari ini, kita akan membahas sesuatu yang dekat banget dengan keseharian kita.

Mungkin bagi orang asing, rutin memeriksa gigi adalah hal yang biasa. Tapi, bagi orang Indonesia, pergi ke dokter gigi adalah sesuatu yang sering dihindari. Bukan karena mahal atau tidak ada waktu, tapi karena... takut! Ya, takut sama suara bor, takut sama rasa sakit. Akhirnya, banyak orang yang lebih memilih minum obat penghilang rasa sakit daripada langsung pergi ke dokter gigi.

Pasti kalian juga pernah dengar orang bilang, "Aduh, mendingan sakit hati daripada ke dokter gigi, deh!" Nah, gimana menurut kalian? Lebih baik sakit gigi atau sakit hati?

Kalau saya sih, sejujurnya, dua-duanya tidak enak! Tapi kalau disuruh memilih, saya mungkin lebih memilih sakit gigi. Setidaknya, kalau sakit gigi, kita bisa pergi ke dokter gigi dan masalah selesai. Tapi kalau sakit hati? Aduh, masalahnya jadi panjang! Susah 'move on', bisa berlarut-larut dan butuh waktu lama untuk sembuh. Hahaha…

Jadi, ayo mulai sekarang, jaga gigi sebelum harus jaga hati yang terluka ya :p 
Sampai bertemu lagi di episode berikutnya, dada!

Akhir minggu
