每日口說挑戰媽媽們想告訴女兒的事

☺If someone tells you, you can’t do something, especially a boy, because you are a girl, you fight against it! Being a woman doesn’t mean you have to be passive.
如果有人因為妳是女生，就告訴妳「妳做不到」，尤其是男生對妳講這種話時，妳要勇於反抗。身為一個女人不代表妳只能被動承受。

Hello Voicetubers! This is Benson. Most of our parents treat their children like treasures. They hope they can protect their children forever, but it’s nearly impossible ‘cause time and tide wait for no man. So, parents will talk to their child and hope their child can put their words in mind. In this episode of the pronunciation challenge, I will focus on what mothers want their daughters to know, and it’s included in the sentence for today, so let’s move on to the sentence part right now!

If someone tells you, you can’t do something, especially a boy because you are a girl, you fight against it! Being a woman doesn’t mean you have to be passive.
