📃👂 How Can Using Subtitles Improve Your Listening Skills in a Foreign Language? 📺 Did you know? Research shows that watching TV shows, movies, or YouTube videos in your target language—with subtitles in the same language—can help you improve your vocabulary, grammar, and listening skills! ❓ Why Do Subtitles Help? 🔗 Connect Sounds and Words: Subtitles let you see the words as you hear them. This makes it easier to recognize words, even when the audio is fast or unclear. 🏙️ Learn in Real-Life Situations: Watching natural conversations with subtitles helps you learn: - Spelling: How words are written. - Pronunciation: How words sound. - Meaning: How words are used in context. ⏩ Understand Fast Speech: Native speakers often talk quickly and link words together (like "gonna" for "going to"). Subtitles clearly show where one word ends and another begins, making speech easier to understand. ⬇️ WRITE BELOW: What is your favorite show or movie to watch with subtitles and why? Keep practicing, and you'll see improvement with time. Happy learning! 🌟

...... Arriving in Kunming: Nature Meets Modernity My first stop was Kunming, a city I had heard mixed reviews about, especially regarding its famed Dianchi Lake. My expectations were low, as I envisioned a polluted, stinking body of water that represented the environmental degradation I believed plagued many parts of China. Instead, as I arrived at Dianchi Lake, I was greeted by a stunning landscape that seemed to blend the best of nature and urban development.

This is my first post of the year. Hope all is well with you and your family. I came across an article online about the eyesight of children all over the world and would like to share it here. Research shows eyesight of children in the world is deteriorating. According to BBC in U.K, the research team in China revealed the rate of near-sighted eyes of children across the world reached 36 percent. This symptom has appeared since the pandemic due to Covid-19. The team pointed out the cause is that the time kids spent indoor and watched displays has increased due to the protocol by the government. They also suspects that it's highly likely that girls have a higher rate of near-sighted eyes than boys because they have less time to play outside. On top of that, they warned the half of children in the world might have near-sighted eyes until 2050. Their research shows 83% of children in Japan, 73% of one in Korea suffers from near-sighted eyes. On the other hand, in the case of U.K and U.S, it is only 15%. The reason why children in East South Asia region has high rate of near-sighted eyes is because education is one of the causes. In Singapore and Hong Kong, education starts when children turn 2 and it is said this takes a toll on them. On the other hand, children in Africa have 7 times lower near-sighted eyes because their education starts when they turn over 6. I have near-sighted eyes too. I'm as blind as a bat with out contact lenses and glasses when I do something. So, these are must-have item for me. So, I really hope kids nowadays try to protect themselves from near-sighted eyes as soon as possible by decreasing time to watch displays and use smartphones.
