My name is Ingrid, and I'll see you next time!:)

以下為今天的口說稿：
What’s up, VoiceTubers. My name is Ingrid and you’re listening to today’s pronunciation challenge. Today’s episode is pretty special as the video is about movies. As you know, I am currently studying writing in a Film school. Oftentimes, our job as a writer is to make people feel emotions and connect with the plot or the characters we write. But what is the reason we vibe with the things we watch? Today we are going to find out when we see the video. This episode today is also very special because this is going to be the last pronunciation challenge I’ll be hosting for a while. 對的，我又要來說再見了。 I am going to say goodbye again, but this time, I’m not going to say I’m forever not coming back. 誰知道未來會發生什麼事呢？ What I know now for sure is I’m going to Canada to study on campus finally as they’re lifting the restrictions in Vancouver BC. 我終於可以結束我痛苦日夜顛倒上網課的日子，要飛到加拿大的溫哥華去上課，因為校園終於開放拉！I will miss you guys so much. I’ve been having so much fun hosting for you guys. Seeing your recordings and comments have always been the highlight of my week. I promise I won’t forget you. And if you want to follow my journey to Canada, or you’re just curious about me and what I do, feel free to follow me on my instagram to stay in touch with me. My id is ingridpantstwo, I’ll be putting it in the description below. I hope one day I’ll come back to host again and to hear your beautiful voices. At the end of today’s episode, I’ll be singing a little verse of a song for you as a goodbye, for now. So be sure to listen till the end. Now, as per usual, let’s practice today’s sentence.

The loveliness is drawing our attention to some of the struggles we face and to some of the things we really want but are finding it so hard to get: reconciliation, forgiveness, tenderness, an end to the fighting, a chance to say sorry.
美好的劇情讓我們回想自身的掙扎，以及熱切盼望卻難以得到的事物：和解、原諒、平和、為爭吵畫上句點、一個道歉的機會。

Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles
Making my way downtown
Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight.
