Day 365
今天是參與口說挑戰滿一年的日子。在這裡必須感謝Voicetube團隊，提供這樣一個滿滿的大平台給我們練習，也要感謝Kristi幾乎全年無休的講解，讓我們每天都能夠聽到她美妙的聲音。當然，也很感謝這裡一起練習、一起互相鼓勵的所有Voicetubers，希望大家的英文都能夠有顯著的進步。
今天就不分享發音，而是分享我自己練習口說的方式。我嘗試用全英文說明，講得不好，或是有聽不懂的部份歡迎發問喔！！
最後...放上兩首歌的連結，第一首是昨天聽完Leeway開金嗓之後，惡補的「袖手旁觀」。第二首是之前唱過的離人，不過這次是完整版，也順便宣告我明天會離開（因為瓜弟趕我走，然後要讓丸子再哭一次...大誤）。至少明天要放自己一天假，體驗一下一整天沒有錄口說的感覺，再低調偷偷回來...XDDD

至於前英國殖民地的香港長期以來都是以說粵語和英語為主。然而，到了 2012 年使用中文的族群才略微超過英語族群並成為香港人第二常用的語言。這都要歸功於中共努力推行中文，特別是在教育制度中很強調這部分。

昨晚跟國際導遊的好友聊天，她說還要去進修語文課（因為她全球走透透，英文、日文、西班牙語都超溜），我問她為啥還要繼續進修？，她說：溫故知新，很多東西不是會了就好，會了還要再精進，學習永遠沒盡頭。聽完她的話終於知道為啥她能在職場上高人ㄧ等，原來她付出所有時間和心力才能有機會(*^o^*)以她為傲向她學習(◐‿◑)趕快抱書裝ㄧ下也好^^哈哈
