听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

今天的话题是中国的宠物经济。近十年来，随着中国人民生活水平的提高，越来越多的中国人开始饲养宠物。中国的宠物经济也越来越蓬勃发展，形成了涵盖宠物方方面面的“一条龙”服务。包括宠物饲养场、宠物医院、宠物美容院，宠物寄养点甚至宠物殡葬服务。养宠大军的不断扩大，使得宠物经济前景广阔。

在中国，尤其在大城市，单身人群越来越多，许多独居的年轻人或是老年人喜欢养一只猫咪或者狗狗作伴。宠物医生、宠物美容师、宠物摄影师，宠物寄养师、训犬师，宠物派对、宠物spa馆，甚至宠物瑜伽纷纷走俏。

有句话说的好，爱ta就爱一辈子，因为ta的生命中只有你。动物也通人性，养他就给他一辈子的承诺，不要抛弃、遗弃你的猫咪或者狗狗。这是我认为盈利的宠物经济背后，最重要的部分。你说呢？

欢迎留言，感谢收听，希望你喜欢，我们下次见。

How much effort do you put into your studies?! 5 Phrasal Verbs Using the Word "Put"

Speaker 1: For me, having a dumbphone would be …dumb. I really like surfing the web on my phone to find out about things. If I hear the name of an actor I don’t know about, I can look them up, or if I‘m in a new place and I want to find a restaurant to go to, I can find somewhere easily. Plus, I love Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. I follow loads of celebrities and I love to watch concerts and live-tweet what is happening. Without my smartphone, my friends wouldn’t know what I was doing. It would feel very strange.

Speaker 2: I’m seriously thinking about getting a dumbphone. I hate how the battery on my smartphone is in control of my life. I always have to find somewhere to charge the phone when I’m out and I’m always worried about it. I also don’t like the way search engines record your history and use it to sell you things. I feel as though my attention is always taken away from everything I do with my smartphone because I use it so much. I was with a friend the other day and after a while, we were sitting there not talking, just looking at our phones. It was like our phones just killed the conversation. We didn’t even realize it was happening.

Speaker 3: I like the idea of a dumbphone. I’m just not sure if I would like it in practice. I travel a lot with my work, so it really helps being able to access my inbox when I’m out. If I didn’t, I would spend all my time in the office answering emails. I also have a favorite podcaster who I listen to all the time when I’m traveling. I can download his latest episode and pass the time when I’m on a flight or a train. I do enjoy being offline as I feel as though I am always using my phone to communicate, with email, Skype, phone calls, and text. But I think if I didn’t have access to the Internet most of the time, I would worry.

Practice Listening, Reading & Comprehension

DUMBPHONES

Clara, a brilliant data analyst with a mind for numbers, walked into my office looking like a storm cloud. Networking events were her kryptonite. "I freeze up," she confessed, "Small talk? Forget it! I just stand there awkwardly, feeling like a total outsider."

Clara's shyness was hindering her career. Her analytical skills were top-notch, but promotions often went to colleagues who could "schmooze" with decision-makers. I knew I could help.

Our first step was reframing networking. Instead of a dreaded chore, we saw it as an opportunity to connect with people who shared her passion for data. We practiced "elevator pitches" - concise introductions highlighting her expertise. We focused on open-ended questions, like "What's the biggest data challenge you're facing?" to spark engaging conversations.

Next, we tackled the "shy freeze." Role-playing helped Clara practice making eye contact, smiling warmly, and using active listening techniques like nodding and acknowledging what the other person said. We even practiced "exit strategies" - polite ways to excuse herself from a conversation when she felt overwhelmed.

The turning point came when I suggested Clara volunteer at a data analysis conference.  She'd be interacting with people who shared her interests, but in a less intimidating setting.  It worked! Clara's passion for data analysis shone through, and she ended up having stimulating conversations with attendees.

The next networking event was a different story. Armed with her practiced pitch and newfound confidence, Clara actively approached people, discussed data trends, and even shared a few insights herself. She even left with a business card from a potential mentor!

Today, Clara is a networking pro.  She still gets nervous, but she no longer lets shyness hold her back.  Clara's story proves that anyone can become a confident networker with the right tools and a supportive coach.
