Summary: What was the listening selection about?

In this video, the speaker wants to talk about 5 books he read, that had a huge impact on his life. These are the books that everyone should read at least once. 1. Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss This book contains the distilled tools, tactics, and ‘inside baseball’ you won’t find anywhere else. It also includes new tips from past guests, and life lessons from new ‘guests’ you haven’t met. 2. Mindset by Carol Dweck this book shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Carol also shows hot to adopt the growth mindset. 3. Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl This is an autobiographical story that takes part during the second world war.

Summary: What was the listening selection about?

How to STOP Waking Up Feeling TIRED Every Morning 1 .STOP SNOOZING When you snooze, you’re not really getting more sleep. It doesn’t make you feel better about waking up. It actually does nothing beneficial for you. Every single time you hit the snooze button you wake up feeling more tired. 2.GET ENOUGH SLEEP We need a certain amount of sleep every day for our body to function properly. You should go to sleep and wake up at the same time seven days per week. This way your body gets into the rhythm and you can wake up naturally at the end of a sleep cycle, every single day. 3.RE-HYDRATE AND GET THE BLOOD FLOWING It’s crucial that you hydrate yourself first thing in the morning. After 6 to 8 hours without water, you’ll naturally be dehydrated, and dehydration causes fatigue. Another important thing to do, is some light exercise as soon as you wake up. It may seem counter intuitive, but researchers say expending energy by engaging in regular exercise, doesn’t make you tired, it actually creates energy in your body. 4.AVOID SCREENS BEFORE BED Your TV, smart phone and computer screen all produce artificial blue light. The problem with artificial light in the evening, is that it tricks your body in to thinking that it’s actually day time.

Summary: What was the listening selection about?

This video shows us how to be more disciplined. Self-discipline usually comes down to two key factors: time & pleasure. One of the best ways to develop self-discipline is to play around with these two factors. 1. Time The example: You want to do some writing on your computer, but you always get distracted by social media. Social media is pleasurable, and it’s also easy to obtain that pleasure. You can delete apps off your phone, or use an app like self-control that will block certain websites on your computer. If you find that gaming or watching Netflix is a problem for you, you can disconnect your consoles and TV and move them into storage rooms. Try to only take them out on special occasions.  On the otherhand, if you wanted to replace these actions with an alternative one, like reading, decrease the time it takes to do that action. If you find that you have trouble finishing books, start with books that are smaller and easier to read. 2. Pleasure The pleasure associated with any activity depends on the individual. Hiding your TV or blocking apps on your computer won’t be enough to stop you if those activities are pleasurable or meaningful enough for you.  One way that this can occur is through education or obtaining knowledge. An individual may go their whole life eating meat until they encounter the right set of facts or experiences that changes their beliefs. An alternative way is to reframe one pleasure as an obstacle to gaining a greater pleasure using a technique known as WOOP. WOOP was coined and scientifically validated by the psychologist Gabriele Oettingen. The acronym stands for Wish-Outcome-Obstacle-Plan. Think about something that you really want to have happen in the future: this is your wish. Make sure that it’s something that you can realistically achieve. What would your life be like if you obtained this wish? Imagine the outcomes completely. Now, what in your life is an obstacle standing in the way of that future? Really think about and imagine these obstacles in detail. Once you’ve done that, you need to formulate a plan using what Peter Gollwitzer calls “implentation intentions”. Use an “if-then” statement to plan how you will overcome the obstacle if it arises. Oettingen after study showing the efficacy of the WOOP method in motivating individuals to achieve their goals. If you find that the WOOP method is not working, consider that you might have set too large of a goal or a goal that’s not realistic. Try setting a smaller or more feasible one and restarting the process. Don’t just do it once, either. Try to do it everyday and maybe even multiple times a day.

Summary: What was the listening selection about?

5 WORDS TO STOP USING IF YOU WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR FLUENCY We’ve put together this list of 5 super common mistakes that we hear non-native English speakers make all the time. These are some very common words and phrases that you might be pronouncing the wrong way, or using incorrectly when you’re speaking. 1. TEACHER The word teacher is not a bad word to use, of course, but we don’t use it in the same way in American English as you might use it in your native language. For example, you wouldn’t call Gabby, ‘Teacher Gabby!’ Depending on the level of formality in your class, you could address your teacher in a few different ways: Their first name (this would be in a casual type of class) Mr./Mrs./Miss/Ms. + their first name Mr./Mrs./Miss/Ms. + their last name Professor (this is used at the college level and above) Professor + their last name 2. MUST An English textbook will tell you to use this word for important situations. For example: “You must study English!” The truth is, native English speakers don’t use ‘must’ as often as your textbook would like you to believe. The modal verb ‘must’ can be used when something is required, or you are obligated to do it. For example, “You must present your passport before boarding an international flight.” It’s also used when expressing an opinion about something that is logically very likely. For example, “I see people out on the street wearing coats. It must be cold outside.” When we want to say something is important, like an important suggestion, we most commonly use ‘should.’ 3. GOODNIGHT! Don’t say ‘goodnight’ when you actually mean ‘good evening.’ Don’t use ‘goodnight’ as a greeting, either! We can use ‘goodnight’ to say goodbye, for example, when leaving friends after having dinner with them. It’s most commonly used when you’re about to go to sleep. If you want to greet people, you should use ‘good evening.’ It’s a little formal, but it’s what we use! You can also say goodbye to someone when it’s late in the day by saying “have a good evening” or “have a good night.” 4. THANKS GOD Pay attention to this one! We can’t tell you how many times we’ve heard non-native speakers say “Thanks God.” That extra ‘s’ is totally incorrect! No matter how amazing your English pronunciation is, if you make this mistake, it’s a dead giveaway that English is not your native language. We use this phrase to express relief. For example, “Thank God it’s not raining today!” This is a really common expression, even if you don’t believe in God. Another way to say it would be “Thank goodness!” 5. ADVICES Advice, the correct spelling, is a non-countable noun, which means you cannot make it plural by adding an ‘s.’ For example: Would you mind giving me some advice on how to apply for this scholarship? She gave me several pieces of valuable advice before ending our conversation. Thank you so much for your advice! I really appreciate your advice. My grandfather always gives me at least one piece of advice when I visit him.

Why Reading Books Makes You a Better Person, According to Science

Books are good for people on so many levels. They can help you fall asleep, lower your stress through laughter or tears, provide an escape from reality, and offer exposure to perspectives different from your own. Here are three other ways the practice of reading can make you a better person, according to science.

1. Reading raises your intelligence.

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh and King’s College London tested 1,890 pairs of twins five times from ages 7 to 16 for reading ability and IQ. They found that the kids with better reading ability—compared with their twins–also showed higher verbal and nonverbal cognitive ability. The authors speculate that while reading may help people remember facts, it may also give people practice in abstract thinking through the process of imagining a book’s plot and putting oneself in the shoes of characters.

2. Reading makes you feel happier with yourself and your life.

Josie Billington at the University of Liverpool surveyed 4,164 adults and found several interesting differences between people who read regularly and those who do not. Readers reported being less stressed and less depressed, and having higher levels of self-esteem and a greater ability to cope with challenges. Compared with non-readers, they also scored higher in terms of feeling close to friends and their community, and had a stronger awareness of social issues and cultural diversity.

8. Philip Wakem – hunchbacked classmate of Tom, and friend/suitor to Maggie
9. Stephen Guest – affluent suitor to Lucy, who also has eyes for Maggie

SETTING

Early 19th century England, the Midlands, St. Ogg’s, Dorlcote Mill, and surrounding community

PLOT ANALYSIS

In these early chapters we are introduced to nearly all the main characters and get detailed sketches of Tom, Maggie, and their often stormy relationship. These chapters give us a good understanding of the types of people that Tom and Maggie are and also set up a lot of the book’s major plot strands, namely the disastrous lawsuit and the feud with the Wakems.

Tom and Maggie’s childhoods come to an abrupt end when their father loses his lawsuit. The family falls into financial ruin and all the Tullivers despair at ever paying off their debts. And Mr. Tulliver’s health is failing. Mr. Wakem also buys this mill during this stage, which causes further conflict between the Tulliers and the Wakems.

Maggie experiences a religious awakening and then begins a secret friendship with Philip

Maggie turns to an extreme form of religion to help her cope. After a few years of this she meets Philip again and is eventually convinced to meet with him secretly. During this entire time, Maggie has a lot of inner turmoil and questions where her loyalties lie: to Philip, to her family, or to herself. Maggie is also confused as to whether or not she really loves Philip.

4. Climax

From Tom’s discovery of Maggie’s relationship with Philip to the death of Mr. Tulliver

There’s actually a series of climaxes, one on top of the other here. First Tom discovers Maggie’s hidden relationship with Philip and forbids her from ever seeing him again. Maggie bows to Tom’s wishes after some internal strife. Shortly after this, the Tullivers are able to pay off their debts, but the occasion is ruined when Mr. Tulliver attacks Mr. Wakem. Mr. Tulliver dies shortly after this and the family is forced to leave the mill.

The stalemate that settles in after Mr. Tulliver’s death is disrupted by the growing relationship between Maggie and Stephen. After fighting their feelings, the two end up eloping. But Maggie quickly changes her mind and they break-up. Maggie is now disgraced and has hurt those closest to her.

6. Denouement

After Maggie returns to St. Ogg’s until the flood

Things start to wrap up in this stage. Maggie returns home and is shunned by the town. But the people closest to her, including Philip and Lucy, forgive her. Maggie makes amends with everyone except Tom.

7. Conclusion

The flood and the death of Tom and Maggie and the epilogue

The action surges once again during the flood. Tom and Maggie finally reconcile but they both die tragically in the flood. In an epilogue we learn that the other characters survive the flood and move on with their lives.

WHOLE MESSAGES

this story tell us about true family. it is also about education. the story also teach us about struggle that must be passed by a young girl like Maggie. The writer also want to show that people must move on from the unhappy past otherwise just to the dead way.

THE DIFFICULTIES OF LISTENING THE STORY

Summary: What was the listening selection about?

This video show the most powerful mindset for success. The growth mindset is the belief that intelligence and skill, in any field, can be developed. However, it is a very powerful lens with which to see the world and it can improve the probability of your success.  All of us are a mixture of both the growth and fixed mindsets. In some areas of our lives, we operate with the growth mindset. In others, we operate with the fixed mindset. A lot of research seems to suggest that people with the growth mindset are more successful than people with the fixed mindset. People with the growth mindset are much more resilient which allows them to overcome challenging and difficult situations.Because they prioritize learning over failure, they are unafraid to take risks. They prioritize growing over stagnation. On the other hand, people with the fixed mindset don’t want to challenge themselves because they believe talent and intelligence are fixed. To them, lack of knowledge is an indicator of stupidity and failure once means failure always.   There are several ways to develope growt mindset. 1. understand that it exists and that it’s possible for the brain to change. 2. focus on process over results. 3. do challenging things.

Summary: What was the listening selection about?

this video shows that the one habit that I think will change your life is time travelling. By time travelling, of course, I mean writing. Writing is thinking, and thinking is a form of mental time travel. You’re already pretty good at it. For example, Twinkle, twinkle, little _____. Most of you probably filled in my silence with the word “star”. Your mind is always traveling through time to determine the most likely future that will come to be: this is called a prediction. Think about what it actually takes to catch a baseball. You have to imagine the future position of the ball and make sure that your hand intersects with that position. If you can already time travel, why do you need to write? Our minds aren’t perfect — they routinely predict futures that never happen. For example, I could have said, There are an infinite amount of things you could write, but I don’t want you to get overwhelmed by too much choice. Instead, I’ll share one simple practice with you: mood modelling.  Mood Modelling Every morning, write down how you feel and what’s going on at the moment. Record everything: your physical environment, your social environment, what you’re eating or drinking, what you have planned for the day, so on and so forth. As your start to collect more data, you should notice some patterns. As you hone in on what makes you feel better, you can actively start shaping your life to reproduce these moments more often. Your time travelling skills will improve, and you’ll become better at predicting the next move you should make in life. Patterns & Predictions Mood modelling is powerful because it utilizes the two principles of effective time travel: patterns & predictions. When you record notes on how you feel, where you are, and what’s going on around you, you have a set of data. You can analyze this data and look for patterns. Patterns are just the relationship between causes and effects, or actions and outcomes. Writing is a good way to collect data, look for patterns, and make predictions on how certain actions can lead to specific outcomes. Knowing the right actions that lead to the right outcomes is the gift of prophecy. When you can accurately predict the future, you become an effective time traveler. So, pick up the habit of writing because your future literally depends on it.

https://www.youtube.com/user/GoNaturalEnglish	7 Habits of Highly Effective Thinkers	intermediate

Summary: What was the listening selection about?

How Do You Become a Critical Thinker? Critical thinking in the sense is a personality trait and not a skill. The tendency to think critically about the world emerges from having the proper character traits. I think the following traits serve as an appropriate starting point: “…open and fair-mindedness, inquisitiveness, flexibility, a propensity to seek reason, a desire to be well-informed, and a respect for and willingness to entertain diverse viewpoints.” — Emily Lai, Pearson Assessments  There is no quick hack to becoming a critical thinker BUT there are some habits that one can build to alter their character in the right direction.  1. Read a lot, and read widely.  Exposing yourself to unique points of view is a good way to spark constant curiosity and to stay open-minded. Well-read people understand that there are always multiple ways to look at a problem and multiple lenses with which to view the world. 2. Don’t jump to conclusions.  A good critical thinker has built up the habit of not jumping to conclusions, especially in the absence of data. They only make a judgment once they’ve studied a topic in some depth and can justify their position with sound reasoning.  3. Create systems, not goals.  For example, creating a system, habit, or ritual that promotes writing everyday is more effective than setting the goal of writing an essay a week. A system can be measured, refined, and optimized. A goal cannot. 4. Argue with yourself. Great thinkers routinely and intelligently try to counter their own arguments. They go back and forth until only the most rational, and strongest argument exists based on the knowledge they have. This is also the mission of any good scientist. The scientist tries to prove themselves wrong, not right. When they continually fail to do so, it’s very likely that only the truth remains. 5. Change your opinion. Be unattached to information. Have the willingness to change an opinion in the face of better data. 6. Write. Writing is thinking. The better we get at writing, the better we get at thinking. Writing also helps us separate what we actually know from what we think we know. What you write, you remember. What you merely recognize, you are merely familiar with. Multiple choice tests generally reward recognition memory, which is much shallower than recall memory (which writing facilitates). If you write something, then you know it well enough to talk about it, so you can then speak — even publicly.  “If you can write, you have power.” — Jordan B. Peterson Writing is one of the ultimate meta-skills: a skill that allows you to develop other skills. Like Jordan said, writing leads to better thinking, communication, reading, and researching skills.  7. Seek adversity. This one is controversial but I believe it’s the most powerful. The main reason schools fail to teach critical thinking is because they don’t create the optimal environment to foster the correct character traits. Schools are overly standardized and structured. The rules are very rigid. Once students understand the rules, school becomes a game. Once they’ve established a game strategy that works, they can play the game very passively and get by. Most students quickly learn the bare minimum amount of effort required to get a job, and then they have no incentive to work harder and to think actively. However, if you take them out of that game – if you break the immersion – they are now forced to think critically. In adversity, they learn to create new rules and break old ones. They have to because it’s either do or die.  The Tendency to Think Critically Critical thinking is as a tendency and not a skill. Great thinkers constantly tend towards critical thinking in their daily lives. If school doesn’t teach students critical thinking, where are people learning it? Life. Adversity. Books. The internet. These people become critical thinkers despite school, not because of it. They learn it because they have to. I believe that, one day, schools will catch up and do a better job of fostering this environment but, thankfully, we always have the power to put ourselves in a position to learn it.

Education plays a vital role in shaping successful people. It gives us the opportunity to become a productive member of a civilized society by acquiring all the necessary skills. We learn how to meet challenges and overcome obstacles. We learn how to become an integrated personality and maintain the perpetuation of our culture. People learn basic norms, rules, regulations, and values of society through education. Moreover, high quality education enables us to lead a successful life, enhances our intelligence, skills, knowledge, and brings positive changes in our life.

Education lays the foundation stone for our future. An illiterate person can find it very difficult to cope with some aspects of life. Education expands our vision and creates awareness. It helps us develop a disciplined life and provides us with better earning opportunities. It enables us to know the world beyond our own surroundings. Education is also a prerequisite of the prosperity and modernization of any country.

Modern education is liberal, open, and exoteric.  It is the premise of progress, in every family and in every society. It teaches people to reason. It is based on the humanism, freedom, equality, democracy, and human rights. The content of education keeps pace with the needs of modern society and is a mirror of its goals, values, and priorities. The present industrial society has opened up a plenty of occupations which require people with specialized skills and knowledge. It is able to reduce poverty in a number of ways. But we have to remember that there is a great need for the growth of the vocational education so that every person could pursue a fulfilling career that ensures a satisfied life.

Education is definitely important in one`s life. A gift of knowledge can bring us to the top of our dreams. It leads us to the right path and gives us a chance to have a wonderful life. Education makes people capable of doing new interesting things that can go a long way to improving human living conditions and standards. Our whole life is the process of learning and gaining new useful knowledge. We should always remember that getting a good education is imperative in today`s society as it is a foundation of our successful future. Our education is really worth investment.  Only if you believe and work hard you can achieve anything.

Summary: What was the listening selection about?

This video shows us several facts about sleep. 1. What happens when you experience a lack of sleep ? If you constantly feel sleepy, you will be easily irritated, feel exhausted during the day, or often yawn. Not getting enough sleep weakens your immune system and can have serious consequences. Your emotional state can also be affected by a lack of sleep. Not getting enough sleep also increases the risk of developing the following problems and diseases: exhaustion, depression, changes in hormone function, cardiovascular diseases, visual impairment, and diabetes. 2. How much sleep is needed for your age? Scientists have established the connection between age and the required number of hours a person needs to have a good night’s sleep. Newborns 0–3 months old need about 14–17 hours of sleep daily. If you’re the parent of a 1- or 2-year-old toddler, make sure they sleep for no less than 11–14 hours every day. Kids from 6 to 13 years old need sleep about 9–11 hours. Young adults of 18–25 years old need less sleep: just 7–9 hours every day. The same can be said about adults between 26 and 64 years of age: 7–9 hours are enough for them to rest. Elderly people older than 65 sleep even less: 7–8 hours a day. The older a person is, the smaller amount of sleep recovery they need. 3. How to get enough sleep and feel refreshed every day ? Fall asleep and wake up at the same time every day. Don’t drink coffee at night. Choose a comfortable bed and quality bedding. Try not to use gadgets before going to bed, and turn off electrical appliances at night. Avoid naps if you have problems with sleep.

Usual and common ‘Usual’ isn’t for many examples of something. ‘Common’ can be many examples of something. We can avoid, “Siti is a very usual name in Malaysia.” We can say, ‘Siti is a very common name in Malaysia.” The second topic is small words. Here the examples : 1.
