New words added to the dictionary in 2022

In this episode we will talk about 【Target, action, time】, you will learn how to say 【procrastination, idle one's time away】 ect. The material helps you get used to different voice and accent. 
--------------------------------------------------
It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary)
Step 2: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.
Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
好久没有跟大家分享了，因为过去几个月我非常忙。我去了很多地方，一边工作一边旅行。因为太忙了，有很多想做的事情一直没有时间做。如果你也跟我一样，在生活和工作中有拖延症，那今天的内容可能对你有一些帮助。我们来听一听吧。
我特别喜欢这三个定律啊，简洁高效，快速变优秀。
第一个叫萨盖定律。戴一块手表的人能够准确的知道时间，但戴两块手表呢，很可能就不知道是几点了。一个阶段的目标应该是明确的，想要太多信息太乱，只会打乱自己的节奏。
第二个，48小时定律。假如你有了一个决定了，但是没有在48个小时内去做，那大概率就不会再做了。拖延非常消耗我们的耐心和热情，想做什么就在48个小时之内去做掉，不要让美好无疾而终。
第三个，帕金森定律。一项任务呢，可以在10个小时完成，也可能4个小时就做完了，换句话来讲啊，暑假作业总是拖到最后一刻，工作和学习，也总是拖到最后一刻才搞定。给自己设定一个最后的期限，更专注更高效，把原本蹉跎掉的时间拿来享受生活。这多好呀。
你听出来没有，这三个定律分别是关于目标、行动和时间。优秀的人都会掌握好这三件事。加油！
你学中文的目标是什么呢？快行动起来吧。我们下期见。（音频来自李筱懿）

Driving In Canada: Real English Conversations Podcast On Italki

In this podcast episode, Curtis Davies and Amy Whitney delve into the topic of accent and pronunciation in English.
 
They challenge the common belief that achieving a native-like accent is necessary for effective communication. Instead, they emphasize the importance of speaking with clarity, being understood, and understanding others.
 
Curtis and Amy discuss how accent is tied to identity and nationality, highlighting that having a unique accent is not something to be ashamed of but rather a reflection of one's background.
 
They offer insights into identifying areas for improvement in pronunciation and provide practical tips for enhancing accent, tone, intonation, and rhythm.
 
Through engaging discussions and exercises, you will gain a new perspective on accent and learn strategies to communicate confidently and effectively in English.
