Hope: | Oh? |
Joey: | I tried your suggestions last week. I have already finished my first book and I am going to start my second one now. |
Hope: | Wow! That’s good. Which book have you read? |
Joey: | 原子習慣Atomic Habits by James Clear. |
Hope: | I know that one. It focuses on individual development habits. No wonder you sound different and quite positive! |
Joey: | Thanks! Oh, I also found that I hadn’t really read for myself for at least ten years! |
Hope: | No kidding. I find reading really helpful, too. |
Joey: | I also practise the meditation. Thank you for the app you suggested me. 非常好上手。 |
Hope: | Yes. The app is quite user-friendly, isn’t it? |
Joey: | So, these days, I am thinking to do something more. You know, like 上一些課。充電一下。 |
Hope: | Hey, it’ll be even more fun if you can take some special courses to sharpen your skills. |
Joey: | Oh? 去上課不是go to classes 而是要說take some courses? |
Hope: | Well, going to classes means you attend classes, but when you take some courses, there is a purpose of improving or enhancing your knowledge or skills. |
Joey: | I see. so I want to take some useful courses. |
Hope: | That’s a good idea. You can not only learn the knowledge and skills, but you also get to meet someone new. |
Joey: | Yes. So, I can also expand my friend circle. 呵呵呵,順道擴充朋友圈。 By the way, Emily told me yesterday that she has been taking some電腦相關課。She’s so hardworking. |
Hope: | I’ve heard about that, too. She wants to sharpen her computer-related knowledge, and she wants to learn to create her own robot. Isn’t that cool? |
Joey: | So, if I want to say AI 相關課程,I can say an AI-related course and 領導統御相關課程就是 a leadership-related course. |
Hope: | That’s right! Now, when you browse the Internet, it isn’t hard to find lots of courses available online and in real-classroom settings as well. |
Joey: | Hmm…I am thinking to 報名a leadership-related course. What do you think? |
Hope: | Really? You’d like to enroll in a leadership-related course? |
Joey: | Yes. It provides classes, such as practice speaking in front of people, 快速組織談話內容, and 建立個人獨特魅力, 等。 |
Hope: | Wow! That sounds interesting. So, the leadership-related course would design classes for you to give a speech in public, to organize your ideas efficiently and develop your charisma? |
Joey: | Yes. Besides giving a speech in public, I am more interested in organizing ideas more efficiently and develop my charisma. 诶? Charisma? 個人魅力? |
Hope: | Yes, Charisma is a special power that gets attention and admiration from others. |
Joey: | Charisma! Yes, that’s what I need! What about you, Hope? Are there any courses you are interested in? |
Hope: | I think if time available, I would like to take the advanced Excel and hope that can boost my productivity at work. By the way, I am attending an interesting talks held in the Kaohsiung Cultural Center this weekend. The topic is strategies of being more organized and efficient. Are you interested? |
