14 分钟Hi, everybody.
My name is Shawna, and this is the american English podcast.
My goal here is to teach you the English spoken in the United States through common expressions, pronunciation tips, and interesting cultural snippets or stories.
I hope to keep this fun, useful, and interesting.
Let's do it.
Hi, everyone.
Welcome back.
Happy new year.
We've made it to a new year.
It's 2024.
I can't believe how fast time flies.
1 minute it's January, and the next it feels like December again.
Do you feel that way?
Why is that?
Is it because we're busy?
Is it that we're doing the same old thing every day and nothing seems to stand out?
I don't know if you're like me, you spend the last few days of December maybe not trying to figure out how to slow down time, but trying to figure out how to make every minute of it more enjoyable, more satisfying.
Many times this comes in the form of a new year's resolution, which is sort of a personal commitment to positive change in one's life.
Sometimes that involves improvement goals for mental and physical health, maybe a change in habits or relationships.
Perhaps it's pursuing personal development.
