I prefer purses that are a little bit on the larger side, just because I like to put everything of my life in my purse.

So it ends up weighing maybe 20 kilos.

Yeah, larger bags, probably structured, larger bags.

是的，更大的袋子，可能是有結構的，更大的袋子。

How often do you carry a bag when you go out?

I think that's the case for most women.

我想大多數女性都是如此。

I think they carry a bag every even if you go down to the grocery or the supermarket, you take your bag with you usually.

So it depends.

If you're traveling, you'd want a much bigger bag that's able to carry not just you, but all of your family's stuff as well.

如果您要旅行，就需要一個大得多的包，不僅能裝您自己，還能裝您全家的東西。

So everything.

所以一切。

Women like all kinds of bags.

女人喜歡各種各樣的包。

That's why we have so many of them.

這就是為什麼我們有這麼多的人。

Now, let's talk about birthdays.

現在，讓我們來談談生日。

What did you usually do on your birthday when you were a child?

您小時候過生日時通常會做什麼？

So when I was a kid, when I was a child in school, we had a uniform.

所以，當我還是個孩子的時候，當我還是個上學的孩子的時候，我們有一套制服。

Everybody wore a uniform to school.

每個人都穿著校服上學。

So when it was your birthday, it was the one day of the year that you were allowed to wear whatever you wanted.

所以當你生日那天，是一年中唯一允許你想穿什麼就穿什麼的日子。

So it was a big deal.

所以這是件大事。

I mean, at least I would pick out my outfit like two months in advance.

我的意思是，至少我會提前兩個月挑選衣服。

It would be like a little dress, like a princessy frock, matching shoes, matching accessories for your hair.

它就像一件小禮服，就像一件公主裙，配上鞋子，配上你的髮飾。

And then you would take some kind of chocolate or candy to school.

然後你會帶一些巧克力或糖果去學校。

And then you could take like a period off and go and give the candy out to other teachers and other kids in the school.

然後你可以休息一段時間，把糖果分給其他老師和學校裡的其他孩子。

And we looked forward to it every year.

我們每年都期待著它的到來。

It was the highlight to get to not have to wear the uniform, to wear whatever you wanted and to basically be able to skip class and go out and hand out chocolates because it's your birthday.

不用穿校服，想穿什麼就穿什麼，基本上可以逃課出去派巧克力，因為今天是你的生日，這是最大的亮點。

How do you normally celebrate your birthday now?

您現在通常如何慶祝生日？

Very differently.

非常不同。

Everyone's allowed to wear whatever they want now.

現在每個人都可以想穿什麼就穿什麼。

So it's kind of not the same charm.

所以，它的魅力有點不一樣。

It depends.

這要看情況。

I like to do a little dinner with my friends, something low key.

我喜歡與朋友共進晚餐，低調一些。

I'm not a very big party person.

我不太喜歡參加派對。

So dinner is usually good, followed by probably like a games night or a movies movie night at home or at the cinema, something low key.

是以，晚餐通常很豐盛，之後可能是遊戲之夜或電影之夜，在家裡或電影院，一些低調的活動。

Do you think it's important to give someone a card on their birthday?

您認為在別人生日時送賀卡重要嗎？

Like a handwritten, like a birthday card?

比如手寫的生日賀卡？

I think so, yes, because I'm quite sentimental and emotional, so I prefer more emotional, sentimental gifts.

我想是的，因為我比較多愁善感，所以我更喜歡感情豐富的禮物。

So I think if someone takes the time to write something by hand for you, I think that, I mean, I hold on to stuff like that.

所以我覺得，如果有人花時間為你手寫一些東西，我覺得，我是說，我會保留這樣的東西。

So I think it's a very nice, thoughtful present to give someone on their birthday.

是以，我認為這是一份非常貼心的生日禮物。

The first time I met a new friend, so I'm going to go way back.

這是我第一次認識新朋友，所以我要追溯到很久以前。

It was my first day of school, kindergarten, and I met a girl named Amanpreet Kaur.

那是我上幼兒園的第一天，我遇到了一個叫阿曼普里特-考爾（Amanpreet Kaur）的女孩。

She, we were about, I think we just turned four years old.

她，我們大概，我想我們剛滿四歲。

We met, obviously, in kindergarten, first day of school.

很明顯，我們是在幼兒園認識的，那是上學的第一天。

What I liked about her when I first saw her, I mean, we were sitting together with the teacher made us sit next to each other.

我第一次見到她時就喜歡上了她，我是說，我們坐在一起，老師讓我們挨著坐。

And she had this long hair and it was like sectioned into two parts and it was just braided all the way down.

她有一頭長髮，頭髮抽成兩部分，一直編成辮子。

And she had the cutest face I've ever seen.

她有一張我見過的最可愛的臉。

She had this little fluffy marshmallow like face.

她有一張像棉花糖一樣蓬鬆的小臉。

I guess that's all it takes when you're a kid to want to be friends with somebody.

我想，當你還是個孩子的時候，想和別人做朋友就需要這些。

And then I tried to, so there's like this little thing that kids do where they put their thumb out to show other kids that I want to be your friend.

然後我就試著這樣做，就像孩子們會做的一件小事，他們伸出大拇指向其他孩子表示，我想和你做朋友。

And then if you don't want to be friends with them, you do this.

然後，如果你不想和他們做朋友，你就這樣做。

It's like a silly little thing.

這就像一件愚蠢的小事。

So I did this to her.

所以我就這樣對她。

I put my thumb out to say, hey, do you want to be friends?

我伸出大拇指說，嘿，你想做朋友嗎？

And she was like this, and I was heartbroken.

她就這樣，我傷心欲絕。

I was like, how can she not want to be my friend?

我當時想，她怎麼會不想和我做朋友呢？

And then I saw her again the next day and the next day after that and the day after that.

第二天，我又見到了她。

And then eventually we ended up becoming best friends.

最後，我們成了最好的朋友。

She did it back to me, obviously, at some point.

很明顯，她在某些時候也這樣對我。

She was my first best friend that I ever had in life.

她是我人生中第一個最好的朋友。

She was from Punjab, which is a part of India.

她來自印度的旁遮普邦。

And her mom used to make the most amazing, it's called paratha.

她媽媽以前做的最好吃的東西叫 "paratha"。

It's like this stuffed bread.

就像這種有餡的麵包。

It's like they put potato and spices into like into a flatbread.

就像他們把洋芋和香料放進扁麵包裡一樣。

And my mom used to make something called seera, which is sweet semolina situation.

我媽媽以前會做一種叫seera的東西，是一種甜麵粉。

That's the end of the two minutes.

兩分鐘到此結束。

OK, we've been talking about a friend that you met.

好吧，我們一直在談論你認識的一個朋友。

We're going to now talk about friends at school.

現在我們來談談學校裡的朋友。

How important is it for children to have lots of friends at school?

孩子們在學校有很多朋友有多重要？

What you have to do is take you through every single part of the test and give you strategies for part one, part two and part three, and also allow you to practice at home for free and get feedback to sign up for that for free.

你要做的就是帶你熟悉考試的每一個部分，為你提供第一、第二和第三部分的策略，還允許你在家免費練習，並獲得免費註冊的反饋。

All you have to do is just click the link in the description.

您只需點擊描述中的鏈接即可。

Thanks very much.

非常感謝。

And let's get back to the video.

讓我們回到視頻上來。

It depends, I would say.

我想說，這要看情況。

I would perhaps think that quality is more important than quantity.

也許我認為，品質比數量更重要。

So I wouldn't say that the objective should be to make as many friends as you can or to be popular as much as the objective should be to build meaningful friendships with people.

是以，我認為交朋友的目的不應該是交到儘可能多的朋友，也不應該是受歡迎，而應該是與人建立有意義的友誼。

That could be one person.

那可能是一個人。

That could be five people.

那可能是五個人。

That could be 10 people.

這可能是 10 個人。

Situational, I would say.

我想說的是，要視情況而定。

Yeah.

是啊

So it's not so much how many friends you have as it's not as important to have a lot of friends as it might be to have people that you can trust, that you can kind of take with you in life for a longer term.

是以，擁有多少朋友並不重要，重要的是擁有可以信賴的人，可以在生活中長期相伴的人。

Do you think it is wrong for parents to choose which friends their children have?

您認為父母選擇孩子的朋友有錯嗎？

Again, that's a tricky one.

這又是一個棘手的問題。

Now, when I answer these questions, I'm thinking back to real life situations.

現在，當我回答這些問題時，我會回想現實生活中的情況。

And in some cases I have seen parents interfering and trying to make those decisions for their children where they were right to do so because the child was in bad company and they were too naive or too, I mean, I guess they were just too naive to see that that situation was not right for them.

在某些情況下，我看到父母干預並試圖為他們的孩子做出這些決定，而他們這樣做是正確的，因為孩子處在不好的環境中，他們太天真了，或者說，我的意思是，我想他們只是太天真了，沒有看到這種情況不適合他們。

But the parent obviously was able to identify that my child's in bad company.

但是，這位家長顯然能夠意識到，我的孩子正處在一個糟糕的環境中。

So in those cases, I would say that your parents are able to read a dangerous situation better.

是以，在這種情況下，我認為你的父母能夠更好地判斷危險情況。

But there's also the flip side where everybody kind of does make bad decisions.

但也有相反的一面，那就是每個人都會做出錯誤的決定。

Your parents made bad decisions.

你的父母做了錯誤的決定

You made bad decisions.

你做了錯誤的決定

And the way that you learn from them is to have a negative experience and then find your way out of it.

而從中吸取教訓的方法，就是經歷負面經驗，然後找到擺脫負面經驗的方法。

So I would say that I can see certain situations, whether it's bad relationships, bad friendships when you're younger, not relationships when you're younger, friendships when you're younger.

所以我想說，我可以看到某些情況，無論是糟糕的人際關係，還是年輕時糟糕的友誼，年輕時沒有人際關係，年輕時沒有友誼。

Sometimes it's necessary to have that experience so that you know firsthand how to deal with that situation.

有時候，有必要有這樣的經歷，這樣你才能知道如何應對這種情況。

And you may not be able to get that experience if your parents always shield you from every single thing that can go wrong.

如果父母總是包庇你，不讓你經歷任何可能出錯的事情，你可能就無法獲得這樣的經歷。

So I can kind of see, depends on the situation, I would say.

是以，我可以說，這取決於具體情況。

Now let's talk about making new friends.

現在，讓我們來談談結交新朋友吧。

Can you think of any disadvantages of making new friends online?

您能想到在網上結交新朋友有什麼壞處嗎？

Disadvantages of making new friends online?

在網上結交新朋友的弊端？

I think there's more disadvantages to making new friends.

我覺得交新朋友的壞處更多。

I mean, there was a show recently that came out on Netflix called Tinder Swindler.

我是說，最近 Netflix 上出了一部劇，叫《Tinder Swindler》。

The thing is, most of what we see online isn't real, whether it's social media or even news for that matter.

問題是，我們在網上看到的大多數東西都不是真實的，無論是社交媒體還是新聞都是如此。

Everything is kind of edited and monitored to present a certain kind of image.

一切都經過編輯和監控，以呈現某種特定的形象。

So if you meet somebody online and you know nothing about them, they can really present any version of reality or a completely curated, sometimes dishonest form of their reality to you.

是以，如果你在網上認識了某個人，而你對他一無所知，那麼他真的可以向你展示任何版本的現實，或者是完全精心策劃的、有時甚至是不誠實的現實。

So it's a very dangerous game to play.

是以，這是一個非常危險的遊戲。

Friendships or relationships?

是友誼還是關係？

Both.

兩者都是

Friendships.

友誼

Friendships.

友誼

Yeah.

是啊

It's somebody you know nothing about is a very, everything can go wrong there, right?

這是你一無所知的人是一個非常，一切都可能出錯的人，對嗎？

Would you say it is harder for people to make new friends as they get older?

您認為隨著年齡的增長，人們會更難交到新朋友嗎？

Yes.

是的。

I think it becomes harder for people to make friends as they get older.

我認為，隨著年齡的增長，人們越來越難交到朋友。

I think adults are perhaps a little bit more, more structured.

我認為成年人可能更有條理一些。

I mean, the older that you get, the more set you get in your ways, your routine, where you work, your family, your gym.

我的意思是，你年紀越大，你的方式、你的生活習慣、你的工作地點、你的家庭、你的健身房就越固定。

Children, for children it becomes, it's very easy for children to interact with other children.

兒童，對於兒童來說，與其他兒童互動變得非常容易。

Like if you put two kids in a room in three seconds, they're talking to each other without any restrictions.

比如，如果你把兩個孩子放在一個房間裡，三秒鐘後，他們就會無拘無束地互相交談。

They're talking about all of their family secrets and everything, you know, they're comfortable.

他們談論著自己的家庭祕密和一切，你知道，他們很自在。

But with adults, obviously people tend to be more filtered when they interact with other adults.

但對於成年人來說，很明顯，當他們與其他成年人互動時，往往會經過更多的過濾。

Also, I think if you've been friends from the time that you were a child with somebody, you've lived through so many life events together that that kind of bond is hard to build with someone that you meet in your mid-30s because you've just lost so much time that you're learning something.

此外，我認為如果你和某人從小就是朋友，你們一起經歷了太多的人生大事，這種紐帶很難在 30 多歲時與某人建立，因為你們失去了太多的時間，而你們正在學習一些東西。

You're learning about them from scratch, where they went to school, about their family, about their relationships, about their siblings.

你要從頭開始瞭解他們，瞭解他們在哪裡上學，瞭解他們的家庭，瞭解他們的人際關係，瞭解他們的兄弟姐妹。

So, yeah, I think it's a, it's not impossible.

所以，是的，我認為這並非不可能。

You can make a lot of incredible friendships later in life, but it's probably harder to come by than if you were a kid in play school.

你可以在以後的生活中結交很多不可思議的朋友，但這可能比你小時候在學校玩耍時更難獲得。

So what I'm going to do now is give you feedback on each part because each part is a little bit different.

所以，我現在要做的是給你們每個部分的反饋，因為每個部分都有點不同。

Give you some tips on how to perform as well or even better next time.

給你一些提示，告訴你下次如何表現得同樣好，甚至更好。

And then there are four marking criteria, fluency and coherence, grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary.

然後是四個評分標準，即流暢性和連貫性、文法、發音和詞彙。

And I will give you a band for each of those and tell you what band, the top is band nine.

我會給你們每個人一個波段，並告訴你們是哪個波段，最上面的是第九波段。

So let's see if you can get right at the top.

所以，讓我們看看你是否能站在頂端。

So thank you for making it this far in the video.

Again, it was like talking to a friend or a colleague and the length of your answers was also quite good.

同樣，這就像與朋友或同事交談一樣，您回答的長度也相當不錯。

This is not a criticism and it's just kind of who you are as a person.

他們只是有工作要做，他們要考慮你的文法、詞彙、發音和流利程度。
