We spend the first few minutes in this ritual of picking ourselves apart for gray hairs, wearing sweatpants, having dark circles, wrinkles, pimples.

Intro


Hey, guys and girls! Well, girls especially! This week’s pronunciation challenge sentence comes from a video really worth watching. It’s very common for us girls to feel self-conscious about how we look. We have our good hair days and often some bad hair days. We stand in front of the mirror, unsatisfied about
our look and we go through outfit after outfit, feeling frustrated. Some of us might even wake up one hour early just to make sure our makeup is perfect before we leave the house! Watch this video because our key sentence is talking about this ritual of apologizing to others for the way we look. For example, in the beginning of an online video meeting.

Here’s the sentence:

We spend the first few minutes in this ritual of picking ourselves apart for gray hairs, wearing sweatpants, having dark circles, wrinkles, pimples.
我們在開始的前幾分鐘會有件例行公事，就是嫌棄自己的白頭髮、身上穿的運動褲、黑眼圈、皺紋和青春痘。

Outro

I’ve noticed that since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, I’ve stopped wearing lipstick overall. We have to be fitted with face masks wherever we go, anyway! Do you still put on makeup when you make a zoom call with your classmates or colleagues? Why is it that we often feel the need to apologize for looking the way we look? I hope that one day we can all feel confident enough to understand that we don’t need to look a certain way to please other people. If we want to look good, dress up nicely, wear beautiful makeup—we are doing it for ourselves! My favourite line from the video was this—If isolation has taught us anything, it’s that our most important audience is actually ourselves.

Thanks for listening and remember to record our sentence challenge! Have a great week ahead guys! See you again next time!
