北海道Hokkaido生活 for Japanese learners

〈#162〉真冬のじしんで人を助ける練習　

粤读时光，看见生命中嘅光。

最近我睇到一篇有趣嘅粤语文章，
读起身琅琅上口，
我觉得好有意思，
所以想分享俾你。

牛耕田, 马食谷, 老窦揾钱仔享福; 
象行田, 马行日, 过河卒仔无退缩; 
兵杀敌, 将闪缩, 功成身退享俸禄; 
男善变, 女易哭, 贫贱夫妻难和睦; 
流水清, 死水浊, 人望高处无满足; 
冰易化, 钱难蓄, 巧妇难煲无米粥; 
水维生, 土长木, 光合作用叶变绿;
赌易学, 书难读, 赌仔何曾买大屋?
命注定, 运难卜, 三衰六旺好难捉; 
仙洒脱, 凡人俗, 犯规和尚食狗肉; 
阳寿尽, 落阴谷, 生老病死乃定局。
趁宜家，仲能郁，快乐享受要知足，
咪再成日困在屋，儿孙自有儿孙福。

呢段话真系几有道理㗎，
呢段话我最中意嘅一句话系，
趁宜家，仲能郁，快乐享受要知足，
人应该学识及时行乐，
而且应该学识知足，
知足系一种对健康生活特别有益嘅感觉，
知足并唔系叫人放弃努力，
而且学识欣赏自己已经拥有嘅一切，
学识看见拥有嘅嘢嘅珍贵性。

粤读时光，看见生活中嘅光。

Let's read a poem

Culture is quite a general topic that could come up in a number of different parts of the IELTS test, so it's useful to be able to talk about it. Today, Nick gives you some ideas for this topic.

IELTS with Nick - World Knowledge 

Do you think the world is becoming too similar in terms of culture?

In Episode 69, we explore the internal power of solo language learners and how deep peace, not pressure, builds fluency. Drawing from psychological frameworks like Self-Determination Theory, we see how autonomy and self-knowledge fuel motivation. For learners struggling with fear, guilt, or overwhelm, this episode offers tools like expressive writing, emotional labeling, and mindfulness-based focus techniques, all backed by neuroscience and cognitive psychology.

The key insight? You don’t have to fight your feelings.
You just have to work with them, gently and honestly.
Even in solitude, you are never truly alone—because your resilience, insight, and ability to adapt walk the path with you.
