In todays episode I would like to discuss the importance of reading, and the reasons you should follow to start your English learning ability.

Let's have a chat (Discussions In English) 

Episode 2 : Why is reading important for students? 

When looking for a job, will you value your interest in the job or the income more? What are some different reasons behind each choice? And how can you explain your choice in Chinese to other people? Work and work values are a great conversation topic. Let’s dive in!

Note: This podcast is intended for language learning ONLY. Not for promoting or criticizing any political party or ideology. Let’s keep it friendly and accessible to all :)

Also, all of the experiences are the hosts’ own experiences so please do your own research if you need more information.
