大家晚安～終於來跟大家分享第一篇了 :P
因為看到之前的留言說想看英文
我就當作翻譯練習～翻譯了自己的短文
我離專業譯者還很遙遠，所以可能有些翻得不好的地方，大家當作參考就好，還請多多包涵！

1. 你怎麼開始做YouTube的?
1. How did you start your YouTube channel?

這幾乎是所有聽到我有YouTube頻道的人第一個問的問題；就像寫申請書一樣，「動機」是大家最感興趣的。每次被問到這一題都不禁莞爾，因為提問者總是兩眼發光，期待著聽我訴說當YouTuber的遠大抱負，但這和事實相差甚遠！事實上，一切的開始只是一個宅女為了方便，製作了一個經驗分享影片，並且在朋友的鼓勵之下分享了出去。

This is the question that nearly everyone asks me when someone learned that I’ve got a YouTube channel. It’s just like writing an application: “motivation” is what people are most interested in. Whenever someone asks this question with glittering eyes, waiting for me to share my great ambition of becoming a YouTuber, I couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed because I’ve never had that kind of ambition! Actually, I started my channel because I was too lazy to go out. Just for convenience, I made a video to share my experience. In addition, I shared it because my friends encouraged me to.

在大學的最後一年，我從美國交換回來，開始在留遊學補習班教托福。幾位同學剛好要準備考國外的研究所，便詢問我怎麼準備。托福的準備不是吃一頓飯可以說得清，所以我想一想，便決定做個簡單的教學影片，放在網路上，讓他們自己去看。後來朋友看了覺得不錯，就鼓勵我分享到當時新興的交友平台—Dcard上面。又因為Dcard在五年前用戶還沒有現在這麼多，我的文章很快就上了熱門。

I finished my exchange student program in the United States and came back to Taiwan during my last year in University. After I came back, I started teaching TOEFL at a cram school. Some of my classmates were preparing for grad school, and they asked me how to prepare for the TOEFL exam. It’s impossible to give them all the details over a meal, so I decided to make an easy tutorial video for them after some consideration. After watching it, my friends thought it was quite good and encouraged me to share it to the then new social platform “Dcard”. Shortly, since there weren’t many users on Dcard back then, my article became a hit.

許多網友看到後，留言說想看「多益」的教學影片。適逢寒假，我也閒閒沒事，就決定做20天的多益單字影片。現在回頭看，才發現我竟然從剛開始經營頻道就做了「日更」！真是不可思議！當時就這樣每日早上錄影、晚上製作影片。20幾天過後，寒假過去了，我的頻道也累積了超過2000位訂閱者。

A lot of readers commented that they wanted to watch “TOEIC” tutorials after watching the TOEFL tutorial. Since it was winter vacation and I had nothing to do, I’ve decided to make a 20-day TOEIC tutorial series. Looking back, I’ve realized that I had updated daily from the very start of my YouTube channel career! How amazing! I recorded videos in the morning and edited them in the evening. After twenty days, the vacation was over, and more than 2000 viewers had subscribed to my channel.

下集預告：計畫總是趕不上變化，學習調整自己、擁抱挑戰
（為什麼從學校老師轉做網路教學？）

Happy Lunar New Year! 新年快樂!
過年就表示我的YouTube頻道又長大一歲了!
想到兩年前的寒假，正好是大學的最後一個假期
身邊很多朋友都在準備出國念書
而我正好從美國當交換學生回來，在補習班教托福
好幾個朋友問我要怎麼準備托福寫作
乾脆拍一支影片上傳到網路上讓大家自己去看XD
結果因為Dcard大大的分享，不只我的朋友看到那支影片，很多網友也看到了~~真的很感謝 <3
那時更多網友想要看多益的影片
我掙扎了好幾天...畢竟要做一系列的教學影片不容易，而且真要做的話我的寒假就泡湯了><
但是看到網友們的留言，突然一股熱血湧上心頭
就這樣瘋狂的做了40部單字影片! 白天思考影片內容+製作PPT；晚上錄影+剪輯，現在想起來都覺得不可思議。
寒假過後我不再有時間製作那麼多影片，畢業後又緊接著實習、上班，影片變得不定期才能產出一支。
但是兩年來大家不但沒有忘記我，還不斷得鼓勵我，讓我不能放棄YouTube和Facebook :P 真的非常非常謝謝大家~~
在我的多益單字最後一集裡面有和大家說過，
在2014年APEC青年代表的面試時，考官曾問我：「你認要有什麼樣的特質才能成為APEC的青年代表?」看似簡單的一題我竟然沒有準備到！
思考許久，就在面試官以為我決定要放棄這一題時，我找到了心裡的答案：「必須要了解自己的能力；知道自己能為別人做些什麼。」而這也是我在2015年的寒假突然產生那一股熱血的原因。希望我的影片對大家有幫助~這樣就不枉費當時外交部選我當青年代表了!
最後~再次祝大家新年快樂 :D Wish you all a wonderful new year!
