每日口說挑戰總是一不小心說錯話？個性直接到底是好是壞？(The Perks Of Being Straightforward)

Transcript!
Intro:
(Hey Sarah, yeah, thank you for coming over to my birthday party. Yeah. And the gift, thank you. It’s kind of ugly, though. I mean I hate purple, that color specifically, not the gift. I’m still gonna use it anyway. I just don’t like that color., you know. No, I didn’t mean to be offensive. Sarah, I mean, I love the gift, although it’s not that aesthetic in my point of view, and the color is… never mind. It is functional. Sara, I’m not lying. I like that gift. It’s just…. Sara? Sarah! Come on! It’s in that freaking purple!)
Voila, surprise, surprise, it’s me, Saraya, featuring my imaginary friend Sarah, who I believe some of you might have met before. Still, I have to say, I love Sarah, but I hate purple. Come on, I can’t give in to purple. Are you guys on the side of being straightforward, or are you more indirect? The video talks about the perks of being straightforward and my opinion is that, girls, boys, people, if you want to do something, just go for it; If you want to say something, just say it, or nobody would know what’s on your mind. And if you find someone is cute, just go ahead and say it. Cupid is not going to come out of nowhere and drop you a cute partner, ok? Alright, we’re a little off-topic. Let’s take a look at the sentence of the day.

Sentence:
And when we do get what we want, we usually have a ball with people who appreciate us the way we are.

4. thanks to (phr.) 由於; 託...福; 幸虧 as a result of; due to.
It’s thanks to you that he’s in this mess.

Outro:
Alright, then I think this is it for today’s challenge. What’s your takeaway? For me, personally, I am a pretty straightforward person ‘cause I hate wasting my energy on something I find unnecessary. I love straightforward people. A lack of drama makes life so much easier. But of course, I keep telling myself, being direct doesn’t mean being impolite. They are different and this is very important. I hope you guys enjoyed today’s episode. Remember to leave your recording, and your comment down below. Let’s be true and real, bye!
