大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想给大家介绍一下中国的社交媒体。
开始之前，我先让大家猜一下这几个名字分别是国外的哪个社交媒体。第一个、脸书；第二个、抖音；第三个、推特；第四个、油管。揭晓答案啦！第一个、脸书是facebook，face是脸，book是书，很直接的翻译。第二个、抖音是tiktok，在tiktok出现之前，中国就有抖音了。可以说tiktok是抖音的国际版本，不过这两个软件的内容是独立的，你在tiktok看不到抖音上的视频。第三个，推特是twitter，这个是按照发音翻译的。第四个、油管是youtube，这个翻译很有意思，you像汉字“油”的发音，tube中文是管，所以是发音加意思的翻译。你可能会问，instagram中文叫什么？其实没有中文的翻译，我们一般就叫ins。
那我们正式开始介绍中国的社交媒体软件吧。像脸书这样可以跟你认识的家人朋友们一起互动的软件，中国应该就是微信了。不过说起微信，它现在可不是一个简单的社交媒体软件，我们生活的方方面面都离不开它。除了用来和家人朋友，甚至是工作相关的人聊天，以及发照片视频分享自己的日常，我们也用来叫外卖，订酒店机票，预约医生等等。
抖音大家应该很熟悉了，跟tiktok差不多，用来看短视频。现在除了抖音，大家也经常在微信的“视频号”看短视频。跟推特类似的中国软件叫微博，很多年轻人喜欢在上面发表自己的想法。像油管一样可以看长视频的软件我们也有，叫bilibili，也叫b站。那像ins一样的软件有没有呢？当然有，这个软件叫小红书。在小红书你可以查到各种各样的信息，所以对年轻人来说，小红书也像一个搜索引擎。顺便说一下，国外最常用的搜索引擎是谷歌，也就是google，在中国我们一般用百度。
你每天用得最多的社交软件是什么？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

An impromptu speech  refers to a presentation delivered with little to no prior preparation. Often called "speaking off the cuff," it requires the speaker to think on their feet and effectively communicate ideas on a given topic with minimal notice. Impromptu speeches can arise in various situations, including:

Meetings: Brainstorming sessions, project updates, or responding to questions from colleagues can all turn into impromptu speaking opportunities.

Client Interactions: A chance meeting with a potential client or answering unexpected questions during a presentation might necessitate impromptu remarks.

Networking Events: Making a strong first impression often involves conversing and sharing ideas on the spot.
While lacking the polish of a prepared speech, impromptu presentations offer several benefits:

Authenticity: Speaking without a script can project genuine enthusiasm and passion for the topic.

Adaptability: Impromptu speeches allow you to tailor your message to the audience's interests or address emerging issues.

Thinking Skills: They challenge your critical thinking and communication skills on the fly.
Here are some tips for delivering successful impromptu speeches:

Take a Breath: A brief pause allows you to collect your thoughts and formulate a response.

Start with a Strong Opening: Grab attention with a relevant anecdote, statistic, or question.

Focus on Key Points: Organize your thoughts around a central message and a few supporting points.

Use Clear Language: Avoid jargon and speak in a concise and confident manner.

End Gracefully: Summarize your main points and conclude with a call to action or impactful statement.

By honing your impromptu speaking skills, you can become a more effective communicator and build trust with colleagues, clients, and potential partners in the business world.

My friend Carol and I decided to have a short break at the seaside for a few days. We made a reservation at a hostel in South Wales where the prices were very reasonable. We were looking forward to a few days of sunbathing, seeing the sights and eating delicious food. However, it turned out that the hostel was in a very remote location with no beaches, cafes or facilities nearby. Seeing the heavy rain, we headed home the following day.
