每日口說挑戰試著跟不同型的人約會吧！(Why you shouldn't date your type)

“Love is not something you protect. It’s something you risk.” – Gayle Forman

Are you having bad luck in relationships? Do you keep having your heart broken? Well, this may be the episode for you. Hey everyone, it’s Hubert with Pronunciation Challenge and I’m here to present you with a very important question. Have you been dating the wrong type of person this entire time? In this video, we explore the possibility of that question being true! Do you feel like you’re going insane? (crazy) Well, Albert Einstein once said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results. We are, as the saying goes, creatures of habit. I believe we can break these habits.
Alright, come back to me when you’re finished watching the video for today’s featured sentence.

Today’s featured sentence:
“So, if you say, "I'm never attracted to introverts, I only like extroverts," try dating an introvert and see what happens.”

I’ll say that again.

“So, if you say, "I'm never attracted to introverts, I only like extroverts," try dating an introvert and see what happens.”

Ok, now time for the Pronunciation Tips.

First word.
Attract (uh·trakt)
Two syllables.
I know you guys wanna go with the phonetic “a” sound here but with the North American accent, let’s go with the short “u” sound for the first syllable. Trakt sounds like the word “track” but replace the “k” ending with a “t” instead. Attract.

Next word.
Extrovert (ek·struh·vrt)
Three syllables.
Ek (has a short “e” sound followed by a “k” ending), struh (also a short “u” sound) and vert. Extrovert.

And our last one for pronunciation would be:
Introvert (in·truh·vrt)
Three syllables.
Almost the same as extrovert but with slight differences. In (as in the word “in”), truh (“TR” sound followed by a short “u”), and vert. Introvert.



Moving onto Vocabulary!

The first word is:
1. Attract
Definition
(of people, things, places, etc.) to pull or draw someone or something towards them, by the qualities they have, especially good ones
Used in a sentence you could say,
There’s something about tall women that just attracts me. (How about this sentence?)

Next word,
2. Introvert
Definition
someone who is quiet, shy, and unable to make friends easily
Used in a sentence you could say,
I don’t feel comfortable in a big social environment. I’m more of an introvert.


And lastly,
3. Extrovert
Definition:
an energetic happy person who enjoys being with other people
Used in a sentence you can say:
“Caleb is an extrovert who parties with his friends every weekend.

Outro
So did any of you guys do some inner reflection? (Thinking about how you can be better) I definitely did it for myself after watching this video! Sometimes it felt like this video was made for me, ha! It’s definitely hard to break habits you have developed over many years but I think there’s hope! There’s an idiom that goes that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. I’m not saying we’re dogs but I’m just saying that it’s hard for people who have been a certain way for a long time to change. However, in this case, I think you can definitely teach an old dog new tricks! Being aware of the problem is the first step! After doing some self- reflection, get to your recordings alright? Drop by my instagram @huberttran and say hi if you’d like! It’d be great to hear from some of you! Until the next episode, bye!

So, if you say, "I'm never attracted to introverts, I only like extroverts," try dating an introvert and see what happens. [However, let's put it this way. Neither introverts nor extroverts are attracted to me. So then?]

☺So, if you say, "I'm never attracted to introverts, I only like extroverts," try dating an introvert and see what happens.
所以，如果你說：「我對內向的人無感，我只喜歡外向的人」，那就試試去跟內向的人約會吧，然後看看會發生什麼事。

“Love is not something you protect. It’s something you risk(冒險v.).” – Gayle Forman
Are you having bad luck(運氣n.) in relationships? Do you keep having your heart broken? Well, this may be the episode for you. Hey everyone, it’s Hubert with Pronunciation Challenge and I’m here to present you with a very important question. Have you been dating the wrong type of person this entire time? In this video, we explore(探究v.) the possibility of that question being true! Do you feel like you’re going insane(精神失常的)? (crazy) Well, Albert Einstein once(曾經adv.) said that the definition(定義n.) of insanity(/ɪnˈsæn.ə.t̬i/精神失常n.) is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting(期望v.) different results. We are, as(如同conj.) the saying(格言) goes, creatures of habit(墨守成規的人). I believe we can break these habits.

所以，當你說：「我對內向的人無感，我喜歡外向的人」時，試著和一個內向的人約會吧，然後看看會發生什麼事。因為，這樣說吧，如果你總是跟外向的人約會，你可能會縮小自己好讓對方發光。

My father's such a creature of habit - he always has to have a biscuit and a cup of tea at bedtime. 我父親生活極有規律——睡前總要吃塊餅乾喝杯茶。
