The Yale happiness class, formally known as Psyc 157: Psychology and the Good Life, is one of the most popular classes to be offered in the university’s 320-year history. The class was only ever taught in-person once, during the spring 2018 semester, as a 1,200-person lecture course in the largest space on campus. •offer 供給；提供 •taught in person 現場授課 •lecture (n.) 講座，課 That March, a free 10-week version made available to the public via Coursera, titled “the Science of Well-Being,” also became instantly popular, attracting hundreds of thousands of online learners. But when lockdowns began last March, two full years later, the enrollment numbers skyrocketed. To date, over 3.3 million people have signed up, according to the website. •make available to the public 向公眾提供、使公眾可以獲得 •become instantly popular 立即流行起來、馬上蔚為風潮 •lockdowns 封鎖 •enrollment numbers 選修人數 •skyrocket 激增 The Coursera curriculum, adapted from the one Dr. Santos taught at Yale, asks students to, among other things, track their sleep patterns, keep a gratitude journal, perform random acts of kindness, and take note of whether, over time, these behaviors correlate with a positive change in their general mood. •track 記錄、追蹤 •sleep patterns 睡眠規律 •gratitude journal 感恩日記 •perform random acts of kindness 隨機做一些好事 •a positive change 積極變化 •general mood 總情緒、一般情緒 One small study from Dr. Santos’s curriculum that stuck with her involved polling 632 Americans to predict how happy they would be if they were given $5 to spend on themselves versus getting $5 and being told they must spend it on someone else. In the study, people predicted that they would be happier if they were allowed to keep the money. But participants consistently reported afterward that they had in fact derived more satisfaction from spending money on someone. •curriculum 課程（總體、概括學科） •stuck 擺脫不了的 •poll 民調 •versus 與～相比 •in fact (be careful on the use of in fact!) 事實上（通常用以補述前句） •derive more satisfaction 趕受到更大的滿足 文章來自《紐約時報》: https://nyti.ms/3w0oaOa #EEL時事英文 #教育時事英文

再不約會我要被追殺了啦！😂 算一算已經錯過四次了 每次我們都錯過，忙忙忙 只能深夜食堂吃一下 今天更讓我深深的感覺 我們在一起可以沒有包袱的大聊特聊 也是夠有默契，媽媽經，家庭教育，時事都聊 沒有一定要一直拍美照上傳 沒有假里假氣的場面 只有真心對待彼此之間的關係❤️ 下班後的我來個豹紋 難得一身輕鬆的🐟🍢拖鞋很👍🏻

【通識科容易🤗 通識教育 - 時事觸覺 】 今天是家長們一個很好的機會，給子女一課通識教育。這是適時地跟子女討論有關政治的議題。 在學校園外上課，生動有趣！ 先帶他們看看票站的外觀，你進去投票是給他們一個非常好的榜樣：盡公民責任去投自己的一票! 回家後，就可上網尋找有關議會架構，選舉方式等的資料。 各主要政黨的理念和代表、獨立候選人等等... 他們各種不同的背景和看法，要全面地讓子女有整體嘅認知和觀察。 家長應避免滲入自己的政治觀㸃，先讓孩子對政治有一個中立、客觀和正面的認知。 有了一些基本認知，以後，每當在傳媒見到這些人物、討論、新聞 .... 他們的時事觸覺就會變得較敏銳。 將來，讀通識科就會容易得多了！😃
