Title :

How the Internet Is Changing Friendship

Link : https://www.voicetube.com/videos/84576?utm_source=user-referral&utm_medium=video-web

Summarize
The speaker is name Julie Beck. She's talking about How the Internet is Changing Friendship. She said that According to anthropologist Robin
Dunbar, the highest number of people you can maintain a meaningful relationship with at one time ranges from 100 to 200, depending on how social you are. And many of us have a lot more social media connections than that.
Friendship researcher William Rawlinsdivides friendships into three categories: active, dormant, and commemorative.

A friendship is active if you're regularly in touch with this person, if you feel you can call on them for emotional support, and if you pretty much know what's going on with theirlives.

A dormant friend is someone you have history with, but whom you haven't spoken to in a while. But if you were in the same town as them, you'd definitely hit them up, and it wouldn't be weird.
And then, a commemorative friend is someone who was important to you at an earlier time in your life, but you don't really expect to see or hear from them, maybe ever again. You remember them fondly, but they remain firmly in the past.

As you grow older, more and more of your active friendships will become dormant or commemorative. That's because friendships naturally fade as people grow up.

Technology offers us a way to extend the lifespan of these friendships, even long-distance ones, with minimal effort. But some of those friendships aren't really living. It's more like they're on life support.
Social media allows you to maintain more friendships, but more shallowly. But if you just focus on your closest friends, it's also a tool that can help you deepen your relationships. The more platforms friends use to communicate, in addition to seeing each other in person, the stronger their relationship. Researchers call this media multiplexity theory.

So, social media can both strengthen the friendships you care about, and keep some relationships alive past their natural expiration date. Friendships are a uniquely flexible kind of relationship because unlike with our family members or romantic partners, there are no clear expectations or obligations. This makes it easy to drop them when things get busy, but it also means that a period of dormancy doesn't mean that the friendship is over.

Reaction (50 words or more) :
What you have learned or the problems you have during extensive listening, how did you deal with the solve problem

Listening is a very useful activity because I can practice my English listening skills and also I learn a lot of new vocabulary. The problem is I can't hear well if the speaker is talking fast. So, I have to repeat the video/podcast several times so I can understand what the speaker is saying.

Title : Toxic People: How to End a Bad Relationship
Link : https://www.voicetube.com/videos/14460?utm_source=user-referral&utm_medium=video-web

Summarize
In the video that i listened, it talked about how you can tell if you’re even in a toxic relationship and then, they help you extricate yourself from that unhealthy situation pronto.

#Step 1: Diagnose the relationship.
Toxic relationships come with symptoms. Here are few other questions you should ask yourself if you’re thinking you might be in a toxicsituation.
- Does my friend put me down all the time?
- Are they jealous when I spend time with others?
- Do they constantly bring out parts of me that they wanna change?

#Step 2: Recognize your role in the relationship.

You have autonomy in every relationship in your life. If your friend or partner is stealing your sunshine, you need to figure out what you’re doing to allow them to do this. Are you being a doormat? Are you putting this person’s emotional needs ahead of your own health?
#Step 3: Start to build BOUNDARIES for this relationship.
Does your friend invites himself over at all hours in the night? Are they constantly bossing you around? Are they always borrowing money from you?. Once you know the boundary that you wanna set, stick to it.
#Step 4: Recognize you can’t change other people, but you can stop being a doormat.
If you’ve determined that a friendship or a relationship is toxic, you know that you have to change the nature of that relationship. Start by spending less time with that person and do your best to detach yourself emotionally.
#Step 5: Get a second opinion.
Especially if you’re emotionally vulnerable, the best thing you can do is surround yourself with people who love you and who want you to be happy and healthy. Use them as a lifeline during this time
#Step 6: Above all else, look out for yourself.
Studies have shown that people with low self-esteem are far more likely to find themselves in toxic relationships.
You will never be treated with love and respect unless you absolutely believe that you deserve these things. Remember, you teach people how to treat you. So do yourself a favor of loving yourself.

Reaction (50 words or more) :
Write your opinion about the main point / your critical review
To recap, if you have diagnosed yourself as being in a toxic relationship, the first step is recognizing this. Then, recognizing your role in a relationship. Once you do this, you can start to set boundaries for this relationship and change the way you interact with this person. To help, surround yourself with people who love you. And above all else, look out for yourself.

Listening will be more interesting if we hear interesting topics. I prefer to listen to general topics or topics related to how I feel at the time. Because usually these topics use vocabulary that is easy and can be digested easily. The problem is, sometimes we are told to listen to unfamiliar topics and it contains heavy words that I have never heard before. It makes it hard for me to understand

Title : Student Life in China

Link : https://youtu.be/lB9o4RUFYdI

Summarize

Rufei talks about how students are very hard-working and study in a very competitive environment in China. She is a chinese that living in America. She said that in her high school, they have around 70 students in one class and everybody wants to be the top student, so everybody works so hard. She also said that her high school was kind of like a prison. You have to go to school every day from 6:35 AM to 9:40 PM. That's over 12 hours per day.
She loves physics and biology and chemistry. And now she is training to be a doctor. As her father is a doctor so she is forced to be a doctor too.

In America, there's a big controversy about tests, that the kids take too many tests; it's too test driven. But in China They have test every month. They will make a list of every single person; how much score you got in this test. They rank everybody to see. That's very competitive. She said that that's kind of bad for the student emotion because it creates a lot of stress for the student. As she experienced,
She gets a lot of pressure not only from her parents, teachers and friends but also herself. She doesn't want to be lazy. She doesn't want to be worse, so she has to always work hard to chasing other people. Because everybody wants to be the best, so everybody worked really, really hard. Even they have breaking time, but they don't break at all.

they use their break time not for rest but instead they do their homework and they find out what problem they've had and they solve the problem with teachers or other students.

Write your opinion about the main point / your critical review

The Chinese work hard at school for many reasons. One is that they know how important education is in today's globalised economy. Most Chinese believe it would help if you had an excellent education to get a good job and do well.
In general, Chinese culture places a lot of value on academic success. Most Chinese families are proud of their children who do well in school.
And competition is another reason why Chinese children work hard at school. They want to go to the best schools and get the best jobs.

Title : Breaking Bad Habits
Source : ELLO
Host : Todd
Guest : Olga
Link : https://m.soundcloud.com/elllo-todd/1498-breaking-bad-habits

Summarize

Olga talks about stopping behavior that is bad for your health. She is a student of Marshall Rosenberg, who developed a nonviolent communication system. She is not suggesting people to fight with themselves, and they avoid or break anything, because that would constitute violence against yourself. Instead of taking away the bad, you add something good. You find exciting, fun, new habits that will naturally substitute.

She shares her tips for everyone for example who wants to give up sugar, or who wants to give up smoking or something like that, a physical substance. She said that One of their easiest things to do is incorporate fermented foods that break up chemical dependency on sugars, alcohol, and some other addictive substances. When she works with people who are recovering from any kind of addictions, they don't have to be substance addictions, fermented foods help a lot. It means that we can replace bad habits to new habits that more good for us.

Reaction (50 words or more) :
Write your opinion about the main point / your critical review

bad habits provide some type of benefit in your life, it's very difficult to simply eliminate them.
Instead, you need to replace a bad habit with a new habit that provides a similar benefit.

For example, if you smoke when you get stressed, then it's a bad plan to “just stop smoking” when that happens. Instead, you should come up with a different way to deal with stress and insert that new behavior instead of having a cigarette.

In other words, bad habits address certain needs in your life. And for that reason, it's better to replace your bad habits with a healthier behavior that addresses that same need. If you expect yourself to simply cut out bad habits without replacing them, then you'll have certain needs that will be unmet and it's going to be hard to stick to a routine of “just don't do it” for very long.

Title :
The technology of translation
Link : http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0cb8xzc

Summarize

Technology offers new ways to translate between languages. Is this translation accurate? How does it work? Learn some new vocabulary with Sam and Rob as they discuss the relationship between translation, technology and the human brain.

They we're discussing language technologies - computers that can translate between languages. Modern software like
Google Translate has transformed how we learn foreign languages, bringing us closer to a world where language is no longer a barrier to communication. But how well do these computers know what we really mean to say?

Computer software used to rely on rules-based translation, applying the grammar rules of one language to another. That worked fine for simple words and phrases, but what happens when a translator comes across more complex language, for example metaphors - expressions used to describe one thing by comparing it to another.

When we say machines "learn" a language, we really mean they have been trained to identify patterns in millions and millions of translations. Computers can only learn by rote - by memory in order to repeat information rather than to properly understand it.

This kind of rote learning can be easily automated - done by machines instead of humans. But it's completely different from human learning requiring creative thinking which would flummox - or confuse, even the most sophisticated machine.

Bad news for translation software, but good news for humans who use different languages in their jobs - like us!

In this fast-paced, ever-connected world, consumers demand seamless experiences that are as user-friendly and accessible as possible. They also want high-quality products and services that are culturally sensitive and adapted to their needs.

The process of adapting a brand’s message, look, and feel to a given culture or location is called localization. While localization may involve different aspects, such as product packaging, website design, or business strategy, it’s the culturally aware translation of a brand’s message into a specific language that is at the core of successful localization.

Active listening promotes mindful thinking, which can reduce anxiety and depression in students. It can also help students build relationships because as they engage themselves in conversation, their peers are more likely to view them as open and interested.
