每日口說挑戰【TED】卡蘿·德威克: 相信你能進步的力量 (The power of believing that you can improve | Carol Dweck)

Hey, VoiceTubers. This is Nina, and you're listening to the Pronunciation Challenge. I believe most of us have read articles like, How to Believe in Yourself or 7 Ways to Believe in Yourself, right? But why's it so important to believe in ourselves? And how can believing in ourselves change our lives? Watch the video to learn the power of believing that you can improve.

And today’s sentence is…

Sentence
Instead of luxuriating in the power of yet, they were gripped in the tyranny of now.

Pronunciation Tips
1. instead of (linking sound)
2. luxuriating (how to pronounce ri and a)
3. gripped (the short i)

Alright, that's all for today's episode. Carol's study found that just the words "yet" or "not yet" can give kids greater confidence and a path into the future that creates greater persistence and even change their mindsets. So, let's not waste any time worrying because to achieve the goal, we must first believe that we can do it. Thank you for staying tuned till the end of this episode. Don't forget to record the sentence, and I'll see you next time!

［意見回饋］
關於老師講解錄音，其實我覺得大部分人聽老師這段錄音，只是想要知道那句話要怎麼念而已！ 每次開頭前面的音樂太長，中間的講解也太久，用進度條找了半天也很難找到那句話的唸法！！ 或許我的意見可以提供老師們做參考， 直接就先把原文朗讀一兩次 ，讓有興趣的同學繼續聽講解就好！ 這才是真正有意義＆有效益的做法（ 站在使用者的角度思考）。

還是非常感謝您們的熱心付出！

奇妙的句子。

所以「等一下」也很有力量？

Instead of luxuriating in the power of yet, they were gripped in the tyranny of now.

Thank you, Nina. Have a good day, everyone.

他們不但不能盡情享受「還沒」的力量，他們反而困在目前的艱難處境。
