English for Business

To avoid getting rusty, and to keep up your skills, you should hear and speak English every day.  This can be expensive.  Here are some free ways to keep up your English skills between classes. 

How to keep up your English level 

With 26 letters, (but 44 different sounds), and not many rules, English pronunciation is sometimes difficult.
Sometimes, reading a word, does not help you to say it.  Here is some help.

不被看见的需要

小张辞职后做起了自媒体。有一天，她准备坐高铁，忽然想到可以录一段怎么坐高铁的视频。她拿出手机，面对镜头仔细地讲解着坐高铁的每一个步骤。没想到视频发布后，很多网友留言，说：“没有坐过高铁，真的很有用。”更让她惊讶的是，原来她的账号不到18万粉丝，发布这个视频两周后粉丝量就突破了百万，迅速“破圈”。
这么普通、日常的内容，怎么就火了呢？事实给出了答案。不仅有人想知道“如何坐高铁？”，还有人想知道“如何坐飞机？”“如何叫网约车？”“如何办护照？”等等。
因为年龄、地域、受教育程度不同，很多看起来很常识性的事情，就是有人不知道。一个人习以为常的每件小事，都可能是另一个人的生活盲区。看见不被看见的需要，不仅是对别人的一种帮助，而且也可能是你成功的机会。

hsk2   第14课  你看过这个电影吗

If robots do take over the world, this one probably won't be the leader.

Less than 5.8 centimeters tall — a little shorter than a lighter — it has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's smallest humanoid robot.

Humanoid robots look and act like humans. For the Guinness record, they must be able to move their shoulders, elbows, knees and hips, and also be able to walk.

Made by a Japanese student named Mitsuya Tatsuhiko, this one is less than half the size of the previous holder of the world record, which was made by students from Hong Kong.

Tatsuhiko is a postgraduate student at Nagoya Institute of Technology, where he researches crawler robots. Crawler robots don't look like humans, however, and they're used to inspect places that are hard to get to.

Tatsuhiko has been interested in robots since he was a child.

According to Guinness World Records, he built his first humanoid robot when he was 10.

He didn't spend as much time making them during high school, but he has returned to his passion as he has gotten older.

It took him a few tries to get his record-breaking robot right, and he worked hard to make it as small as he could.

He applied for the record with his third attempt while he was in the fourth year of his degree. He said he was very happy to have broken the record.

Tatsuhiko hopes to work with robots when he finishes university, but he'll also keep making them at home as a hobby.
