Let's have a chat (Discussions In English) 

Episode 10: Happy Mother's Day. What do people do on Mother's day?

You’ll learn how to use 'relieved' with to and that, and hear natural examples that show when relief turns to calm. Ends with a guided shadowing exercise for fluency and tone.

BrightStep: One Word

Relieved

"فن اللامبالاة" هو أسلوبُ حَيَاةٍ يُشجع على التركيز على الأمور المهمة حقًا في الحياة وتجاهل التفاصيل التي لا تُضيف قيمة حقيقية.
يسعى هذا الفن إلى التخلص من القلق والتوتر الناجمين عن محاولة إرضاء الجميع أو السعي نحو الكمال.
يعتمد فن اللامبالاة على فكرة تقبل الحياة بما فيها من تحديات وصعوبات والتركيز على ما يمكن تغييره وتحسينه.
يعتبر هذا الفن وسيلة لتعزيز الصحة النفسية من خلال تقليل الضغوطات الاجتماعية والشخصية.
يشجع على فهم أن السعادة والرضا يأتيان من الداخل وليس من المحاولات المستمرة لتحقيق توقعات الآخرين.
يُسَاهِمُ في بناء شخصية قوية ومستقلة وقادرة على اتخاذ قرارات صائبة بناءً على القيم والأولويات الفردية.

The Art of not caring" is a lifestyle that encourages focus on the important things in life and ignoring the details that do not add real value.
This art helps you get rid of anxiety and stress caused by trying to satisfy people or seeking towards perfection.
The Art of not caring relies on the idea that you accept life with all its challenges and difficulties and focus on the things that can be changed and improved.
This art is considered a means to strengthen mental health by reducing social and personal stresses.
It also encourages the understanding that happiness and satisfaction come from within and not from constantly trying to meet other people's expectations.
It contributes to building a strong, independent personality capable of making sound decisions.

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。

先讲到呢度，我哋下次再见，拜拜！

How to get well along with people

Man 1: Several years ago, I was in a car accident that left me with a back injury. As a computer programmer, I am still able to do my job, but I often have to take painkillers. When the pain gets particularly bad, I sometimes have to lie down on my back for a while until it goes away because sitting up really hurts. When we were in the office, I would worry that my colleagues would see me taking pills. Since we’ve been working from home, it has been much better. I can go and see my physical therapist more often too. I don’t have to worry as much and if I need to lie down for a little while to help my back, I can. When we were in the office, I’d sometimes be in a lot of pain but didn’t feel like I could say anything.

Woman: I have suffered from depression for a long time. Most of the time I manage it, but I often feel very nervous. Working in an office was really hard as I was always scared that I might panic and my colleagues would wonder why I was acting strangely. Working at home has been so much better for me as I don’t have to talk to so many people and I can have a relaxed environment and play peaceful music. Management is talking about going back to the office soon and I can already feel a lot of anxiety about it. I’m worried that I will not be able to hide that I’m depressed and people will judge me.

Man 2: I’m quite deaf in one ear. I don’t like to mention it when I’m at work because I feel as though there is often a stigma around disabilities. I worry that people will treat me differently. The problem is, sometimes I don’t hear when people are talking to me and then they think I’m ignoring them or I’m not listening. Working at home has been great for me because all of our communication has been online or video calls and I can wear headphones like everyone else. I’m not looking forward to going back to the office and I don’t see the point as I can do my job perfectly well from home.
