在這集裡我談了自己對「台灣人在台灣對外國人說英文」的看法，希望學中文的各位別怪台灣人跟你說英文。你自己的經驗和想法是怎麼樣？可能有我沒有考慮到的地方，歡迎你和我分享！

In this episode, I talked about my views on "Taiwanese speaking English to foreigners in Taiwan" and I hope that you guys who are learning Chinese will not blame Taiwanese for speaking English to you. What about your own experiences and opinions? There might be something I haven't taken into account. Please share it with me!

EP2. 在台灣跟外國人說中文還是英文？Speaking to a foreigner in Taiwan in Chinese or English?

어제 잠이 잘 오지 않더니,
지금 겨우 오후인데 벌써 피곤하네요.
昨天怎么也睡不着，
现在才下午就好累。

저는 어제 운동을 해서 그런지,
누우니까 바로 잠에 들었어요.
我昨天做了运动，一趟下就睡着了。

그래요? 저도 운동을 해봐야겠어요.
혹시 운동 추천해 줄 수 있어요?
是吗？我也要锻炼锻炼。
你可以给我推荐一下吗？

특별한 건 없고,
저는 주로 달리기와 스트레칭하는데,
숙면에 도움 되는 것 같아요. 
也没什么特别的，
我主要跑步和做拉伸运动，
好像对睡眠很有帮助。

잠을 잘 수 없다 睡不着
추천하다 推荐
특별히 特别
스트레칭 운동 拉伸运动

저도 운동을 해봐야겠어요. 我也要锻炼锻炼。

Review

If you're looking to make a good first impression on a dating app, from your POV, you might think it would be a good idea to send a text using lots of abbreviations to make it seem like you're BFFs with the person you're texting.

But FWIW, according to a recent study from Stanford University and the University of Toronto, nobody likes receiving text abbreviations — not even young people.

Don't know those abbreviations? "POV" means "point of view," "BFF" means "best friend forever," and "FWIW" is "for what it's worth"!

Researchers studying the use of such abbreviations did a number of studies with several thousand people, and they found that texts using abbreviations were less likely to get replies. And writers using abbreviations were more likely to be seen as insincere.

Of course, we all use abbreviations — in one survey, it was found that 99% of people said they used them. But the researchers found that people don't like receiving texts with abbreviations, because rather than making them feel closer to the other person, it felt like the other person wasn't putting much effort into the conversation.

And while young people are even more likely to use abbreviations, they still felt that people who used them were insincere. Young people were also less likely to reply to such messages.

Lead researcher David Fang said we often put different amounts of effort into our conversations to show how important the other person is to us.

So it might be fine to put little effort into, say, a quick message to a delivery driver. But Fang said his team's results are especially important for people who really want to make a good impression — like at the beginning of a relationship!

Because I am absolutely amazing!

Or....

"Because my experiences, skills and future GOALS are aligned with your company and this role!...."
