If so, then I have two practical English habits for you in this episode.

如果是這樣，那麼我將在這集節目中為各位介紹兩個實用的英語習慣。

Hi, I'm your English coach, Christina, and welcome to Speak English with Christina, the best place to become more confident speaking business English step-by-step.

嗨，我是你們的英語教練 Christina，歡迎來到 Speak English with Christina，一個逐步提升商務英語口說自信心的最佳場所。

First, I want to say Happy New Year to you and that I'm looking forward to making 2021, really, a fantastic year for you and for our community of learners, like, around the world.

首先，我想跟你們說聲新年快樂，我期待著讓 2021 年真正成為你們和我們全球學習者社區的美好一年。

Because I think that, you know, no matter what happens this year, together, we can handle it.

因為我覺得無論今年發生什麼事，我們都能攜手一起面對。

Now, you may hear a lot of people who talk about New Year's resolutions.

你可能會聽到很多人談論新年新希望。

Now, personally, you know, I don't make resolutions because we... we all know what happens to resolutions.

就我個人而言，我不會許新年願望，因為我們都知道它們的下場。

Yeah, they get broken.

沒錯，它們會被打破。

And we want to make, you know, some big change in our lives, and we're maybe good at it for a few weeks, or maybe a few days for some of us.

我們想在生活中做出一些大的改變，所以可能會在幾週內（或有些人只有幾天）持續努力。

Because, I mean, life just happens and our resolutions are broken.

因為人生就是如此，我們的願望會被打破。

So, instead of giving you, for example, like, 10 New Year's resolutions to improve your English, let's be more practical.

所以說，與其舉例說明 10 個提高英語程度的新年願望，我們不如實際一些。

To start 2021 on the right foot, I want to share with you two ways that you can start building some good English habits step-by-step.

為了讓 2021 年有一個好的開始，我想與大家分享兩種讓大家可以逐步養成一些良好英語習慣的方法。

And I recommend that you pick just one of these habits.

我建議你們只選擇其中一個習慣。

Put that habit in place before you add another one.

先養成這個習慣，再增加另一個。

And, like I said, if you do it step-by-step, it's more sustainable, it becomes like a real routine, and it just... it just works better.

就像我說的，如果你一步一步來，就會更持久、成真正的慣例，效果就是會更好。

So, habit number one is: Connect with someone in English every day.

第一個習慣是，每天用英語與人交流。

Because, you know, connecting with others, it makes us happier.

因為與人有連結會讓我們更快樂。

It's good for our mental health.

這對我們的心理健康有益。

I think we all saw how important it is to connect with other people.

我想我們都看到了與他人建立聯繫的重要性。

You know, last year, we experienced that.

我們去年就經歷了這種情況。

But when you connect with others in English, you know, it's a chance to use your English to practice.

當你用英語與他人交流時，這是一個用英語練習的機會。

And, you know, this can be any kind of connection.

而這可以是任何一種聯繫。

It can be just a... a quick text message or WhatsApp.

它可以只是簡短的簡訊或 WhatsApp 訊息。

It could be an email to a friend or a coworker.

可以是給朋友或同事的一封電子郵件，

Maybe a message in a Facebook group in English, you know, any kind of connection.

也可以是在 Facebook 英語群組中一個訊息，任何一種連結。

It doesn't have to be just speaking with someone.

不一定非要與人交談。

But, you know, if you want to speak with someone in English, one thing I can suggest is my Faster Fluency Conversation Club.

不過你如果想用英語與人交談，我可以建議的一件事是利用我的 Faster Fluency 對話社團。

Because you can find, you know, English buddies from around the world and connect with them pretty much every day.

因為你可以早到世界各地的英語夥伴，幾乎天天跟他們聯繫。

And, I mean, personally, like, I love my Faster Fluency Conversation Club because the members are so, like, kind and supportive and friendly and, you know, determined to learn and share with each other.

而就我個人而言，我熱愛我的 Faster Fluency 對話社團，因爲成員們都非常善良、支持人和且友好，而且他們都決心相互學習和分享。

And, like, when I was a kid back in Mississippi,

當我還是密西西比的一個孩子時，

you know, one of my dreams was to be able to know other countries and other cultures and be able to meet people from around the world.

我的夢想之一就是能夠了解其它國家和文化，能夠認識來自世界各地的人。

So, it's kind of like, I get to live my dream with this program.

所以說，這個項目讓我實現了自己的夢想。

But it's a great program for exchanging and connecting with others in English, if you're interested.

不過，如果你感興趣的話，這是一個用英語與他人交流和聯繫的好管道。

Another habit⏤so, habit number two⏤is to add one English activity to, for example, your morning routine.

另一個習慣，也就是第二個習慣，舉例而言，是在上午日常中增加一項英語活動。

And I suggest that you make it an activity that you can associate with something that you already do in the morning.

我建議你把這項活動與你早上已經在做的事情聯繫起來。

For example, a concrete example.

舉個具體的例子。

Every morning, I sit down at this table and I have breakfast.

每天早上，我都會坐在這張桌子前吃早餐。

Like, I have done this for my entire life, so I don't have to think about having breakfast.

我這輩子都是這麼做的，所以我不用考慮吃早餐的問題。

Now, recently, I started learning German.

我最近開始學習德語。

So, I started a habit where, when I sit down to have my breakfast, I turn on a German podcast and I listen to it as I'm having breakfast.

所以說，我開始養成一個習慣，當我坐下來吃早餐時，我會打開德語播客，邊吃早餐邊聽。

And the idea is that I associate one strong habit, having breakfast, and I associate or connect it with the new habit, listening to a German podcast.

我的想法是，把吃早餐這個強烈的習慣與聽德語播客這個新習慣聯繫起來。

So, it becomes really automatic.

所以它會真正變得很自動。

I sit down to have breakfast, I listen to my German podcast.

我坐下來吃早餐、我聽我的德語播客。

And if you can find one activity that you can, like, attach to an existing activity, it's much easier to make it a habit.

如果你能找到一項活動，並將其附加到現有的活動中，就更容易讓它成為一種習慣。

So, for example, maybe while you do sports or exercise, you can listen to music or listen to a podcast in English.

舉例來說，也許在你做運動或鍛鍊時，你可以聽音樂或聽英語播客。

Maybe during your breakfast, you can listen to a podcast or read something in English.

也許在吃早餐的時候，可以聽一聽播客或讀一些英文讀物。

In the morning, you know, do a yoga video that is in English instead of doing a yoga video in your native language.

可以在上午看英語瑜伽影片，而不是用你的母語看瑜伽影片。

But find a way to attach that new English habit to the old one that you already have.

但要想辦法把新的英語習慣與你已有的舊習慣結合起來。

So, there you go, those are two ways that you can start building your 2021 English routine.

以上就是兩個你可以開始建立 2021 英語日常活動的方法。

But, like I said, pick just one of those habits to start, get it in place, and then you can start to do something else.

但就像我說的，從這些習慣中挑一個開始，養成它，然後你就可以開始做別的事情了。

And I would love to know: How are you going to take action on this video?

我很想知道，你打算如何對這段影片內容採取行動？

Share it in the comments down below and tell us: What habit are you going to try to get in the new year, or how are you going to connect with some people in the new year?

請在下面的評論中與我們分享，並告訴我們在新的一年裡你打算嘗試養成什麼習慣，或者在新的一年裡你打算如何與一些人建立聯繫？

And, like I said, if you want to make it easy to connect with people, you can go ahead and join my Faster Fluency Conversation Club.

就像我說的，如果你想輕鬆與人交流，可以加入我的 Faster Fluency 對話社團。

You'll get, of course, the connection, the speaking practice, vocabulary, and, of course, more confidence and more fluency.

你將獲得聯繫、口語練習、詞彙，還有更多的自信和更流利的表達方式。

So, I'll put a link to that down below this video and a discount code so you can save 40% off your first month and start 2021 on the right foot.

我會在影片下方提供一個超連結，並提供一個折扣代碼，你可以在第一個月省 40% 的費用，並在 2021 年開始時獲得好的開端。

All right, you guys, Happy New Year to you.

好了，祝各位新年快樂。

I'm just trying something different for the new year with the... the setting here.

我只是想在新的一年裡、在這個環境中嘗試一些不同的東西。

So, new year, new... new setting.

新的一年、新的環境。

Let me know what you think about it, and I will see you very soon for some more episodes to help you become more confident in English.

讓我知道你的想法，我很快就會為你帶來更多的節目，幫助你更加自信地使用英語。

All right, see you guys. Bye.

好的，再見了。
