｜📌主持人介紹｜#IRIS
接下來要來介紹我們個性很鮮明很活潑的Iris❤️

【關於 Iris 的自我介紹👩】
Iris是土生土長的台灣人，還沒去過英語系國家，也不是混血（也不是原住民）。
叛逆的個性不願隨升學體制漂流，11歲便毅然決然帶著顆扯鈴進了戲曲學院，演過的演出不下百場，大至總統府前國慶大典（你可能可以找到我），小至校內跑道上。學過戲劇、芭蕾、爵士、武術、走鋼絲、騎獨輪車等⋯⋯一些不尋常的玩意兒。
雖受了8年的訓練，表演能力卻平平，日常生活中娛樂大眾卻還是可以的。

#曾經我的英文也很不好
國三升學考試英文考了最低分，於是發憤圖強說我要好好學英文。
高三畢業前進了遊戲英語劇團擔任藝術行政，從發呆默默聽著維尼跟白人大叔說話到現在可以教英文維生，期間還當過美式酒吧Bartender、中文學校的導遊、留學展場的口譯人員。
身價不同以往，偶爾在派對承辦酒吧業務，當主管使喚別人。

總而言之愛瑞絲就是個瘋子，She is crazy but in a cool way tho (according to her).

上述經驗外，以下附上一些奇奇怪怪的大事記：
#出版過小說 #第一次出國就去歐洲
2015年自費出版過一部小說，實在不忍直視。
2017年成立過文學電子報，發行了一年多的月刊因為忙畢業演出就解散了。
2019年第一次出國，把自己丟到歐洲20天，作為自己的生日禮物。（英文好不好在波蘭好像都沒差。）
2020年說想去留學，於是做了轉學到英語系的決定，換個地方混文憑，目前正在申請交換學校，祝她一切順利。
2021年打了鼻環，現在想用學習英文的套路來學西班牙文，效果如何我們幾年後見真章。

Iris愛著語言學，但她熱愛一項東西都愛得三心二意，偶爾會小看一些論文補充知識，把手裡那本原文書翻到爛掉，想到的時候會在教課時補充語言學知識幫助學生學英文。
她學英文一路磕磕碰碰，現在真的很高興能夠跟著維尼還有英文聽我說的所有主持人把語言有趣的地方分享給各位。愛瑞絲也沒有什麼夢想，只希望可以把生活的熱忱帶給大家，一起好好的「活」，而非過日子；也希望自己的每個明天都比昨天厲害一點。✨❤️

Dear NTU students and colleagues,

According to the Taiwan Central Epidemic Command Center, if you are 18 or older, you may now pre-register for COVID-19 vaccination (until 17:00 on July 15). After the pre-registration deadline, eligible people will be notified by text message from July 16 to July 18 and only those who receive the text message can make an appointment for vaccination.

Since the pre-registration website ( https://1922.gov.tw/vas/ ) only has Chinese interface for now, we prepare a Chinese-English guide for your reference as attached.
Hope you safe and healthy during your summer vacation!

英文寫作新專欄登場！
從這週開始訓練你 #中翻英焦點閱讀法🎯
謝謝來自澳洲的 Alex 老師犀利好文筆
快來讀讀，累積寫作功力，一起升級

前幾天 #全球串連早安新聞 香港聽友上來分享的大消息
大科技公司提出可能撤出香港！超級重大，Alex 老師就是這麼勇猛
在他的課堂要用英文討論這題目

衛報標題
Google, Facebook and other tech companies threaten to quit Hong Kong over privacy law

Alex 老師的課超有趣、燒腦、挑戰！
每週寫分析，下次上課就針對熱點議題練英文口說
讓很多自覺英文不錯的同學發現不足之處
不斷學習更精鍊的表達方式，提升、進步
我覺得非常適合英文不錯，但 #聊到深入議題容易卡住 的學習者

想要把英文從「堪稱流利」
升級到「談笑風生，什麼都能聊」
就應該到 Alex 的課練練！

好，因為我知道直接給你們看老師的全英文你們會滑掉
所以我設計了個中翻英焦點閱讀法
讓你們遊戲化，從閱讀中抓取實用 expressions
是不是用心良苦XD

來試試，以下每句引號裡的「中文」是題目
而答案就在 Alex 寫的英文中，找到學起來！
留言區就是作答欄，直接寫出來，寫錯我會挑出來～
不寫出來，自己學錯，我也檢查不到囉（汗）

-

開始：

「為公共利益設想」
Do corporations usually act in the interests of the public, or do they act purely to protect their profits?

「撤出香港」
That is one of the questions that should be considered in the latest threats from big tech companies to pull out of Hong Kong, and thus possibly leave China altogether.

「根據多家報紙的說法」「表面上」（提示：頗進階的副詞）
According to the accounts offered by various newspapers, an industry body known as the Asia Internet Coalition, which represents big technology companies such as Google, Apple, Twitter and Facebook, has indicated that their members will withdraw services from Hong Kong, ostensibly because they do not agree with the terms of new privacy laws being proposed there.

「此舉是為支持」「反對中國對自由的箝制」
To some commentators, it seems as though this action is being undertaken in support of a more open and free internet, and in defiance of China’s crackdown on freedoms in the territory.

「明確為了香港人民的利益」
But is this really a decision made by tech companies in the interests of the people of Hong Kong specifically, and the internet in general?

-

準備好作答了嗎？我在留言區等你
（選一題就好了XD）

Alex 老師這社論等級的文筆，大家應該學到很多吧！我自己也是

下週一晚上他的課程就是用這素材更深入練英文口說
如果你一直以來嚮往講英文也可以跟中文一樣靈活
就是要上這樣的課啦！
別再找家教陪你聊天了（那只是維持，不是進步。現在既然可以進步，為什麼只求維持？不進則退就是殘酷現實。）

每堂課都討論最新國際時事
學習 50 個 #進階單字
還有 #糾正發音 與 #文法錯誤
（我知道很多人想要這個！我自己就是，我懂你們。）

歡迎揪朋友一起加入！

#批判性思考練起來

This is a highly requested recipe and we’re excited that we can finally dish it out to you. Roland got this recipe from our uncle who is a retired zichar chef. It took him a few tries and a few consultations with his cousin who is still a zichar chef, to get this right. Hopefully you can make this recipe on your first try. Roland's cousin suggested that we use Thai yam because its texture is the best for yam ring so if possible, get Thai yam.

中文版视频 https://youtu.be/Gkr35uYtg3Q

According to Hungrygowhere, yam ring is a uniquely Singapore dish, which was first created as a vegetarian dish. Today yam ring or sometimes referred to as yam basket, has become a zichar staple. You can read more about the origin of yam ring here: https://www.hungrygowhere.com/gallery/the-history-behind-singapore-s-original-food-*gid-09a13101/fda80200

If you don't want to make the yam ring, you can also just cook the seafood and chicken stir fry as it is and it'll be a perfect meal too.

See the ingredient list below for your easy reference.

Hope you can recreate this yummy dish in the comfort of your home. Thanks for dropping by our channel.

Ingredients:
Serves 4 - 5 pax

For yam ring
---------
300g Thai yam
1 teaspoon five spice powder (https://amzn.to/36oryqu or make it yourself https://youtu.be/4N39Ib8lIsQ)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
A few dashes of white pepper (https://amzn.to/2zqCvMa0
60g wheat starch (the one we used: Sunflower Wheat Starch - Tim Sum Flour https://fairprice.com.sg/product/sunflower-tim-sum-flour-wheat-starch-500g-147430)

90ml (slightly more than 1/3 cup) hot water
30g lard (can be replaced with margarine, butter or vegetable shortening)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (https://amzn.to/2ZqpSvr)

Note: If you don't know how to get lard, just buy a piece of pork fat from your butcher and follow this video: https://youtu.be/PHlRSf6VpQo. The oil that comes out from the pork fat is lard - just let it cool down and then store it in the fridge and it will solidify. Use the crispy lard in your dishes by sprinkling some over. Super yummy!


For stir fry
---------
2 cloves garlic
20g sliced carrots
125ml (1/2 cup) water
2 tablespoons oyster sauce (https://amzn.to/2zmZ84i)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
A few dashes of white pepper
100g thinly sliced chicken
120g shrimp (prawns)
80g scallops
3 young corns
A few pieces of snow peas
Some cornstarch solution
1 teaspoon sesame oil (https://amzn.to/2XqAIPe)
1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine (Shaoxing Huatiao wine) (https://amzn.to/2LRZYbU)

Other ingredients
---------
35g vermicelli

Hello friends! A highly requested video is finally up! ?

I'm using an HSK vocabulary book, but you can use any resource like a novel, an article, a textbook or even a TV show to find new words. I color code my notes and color code the tones so I can associate a tone with a color.

In one notebook, I list the Chinese characters in black, the pinyin pronunciation in orange, and the Korean or English meaning in black. The circle with a number in it indicates which HSK level the vocab word is for. Example sentences are written in red, and when I need to, I'll rewrite the characters as much as I can until I memorize it.

Then I transfer the words without pinin to a separate notebook and only write the meaning. I then underline the characters with a color according to its tone.

PS: Some of you may notice my vocab is in simplified and one of my example sentences in traditional. I use both!
