What happens when you move from a city with a population of 2.7million to a little town in Hawaii (~4000 people) during covid?

YOU SLOW DOWN.

Besides working online, I spent most of my past weeks resting, reading, exercising, and - let’s be honest - chilling and sleeping! 😆

You’d think this is the dream, but believe me, as a workaholic this feels WEIRD. And guilty. (Uff why can’t I just enjoy🤦🏽‍♀️) I’m so used to the high-speed life, full schedule. And now I’m just floating around it seems, placing one foot at a time, figuring out where what how.

After 11 years in Taiwan, this was to be expected. I wanted a change. I just didn’t know how it was gonna be.

Moving to a new place is like starting from 0 (or 1 because at least I don’t need to learn a new language this time). I get to rebuild my life and my routines. It’s fun, but it’s also hard, because I don’t know what my new “building blocks” are until I find them. There’s no structure.

But I’m committing to this slow process now. I want to allow more things I love to enter my life and let superficial distractions pass through. There’s a lot of silence and emptiness too right now, but I am allowing that space to exist within me, maybe keeping it empty for a while. Why not? Silence has a voice too.

“Life’s not a competition, it’s an adventure”, I remind myself.
You can go fast, or you can go slow. Just keep moving to your own rhythm. 👣

當妳在新冠病毒期間從一個大城市（人口270萬）搬到夏威夷的一個小鎮時（人口約4000 ）會發生什麼？

你。會。慢。下。來。很。多。

除了在線工作之外，我過去幾週大部分時間都在休息、做家事、跟愛人去海邊，閱讀、運動，還有⋯睡覺！ 😆

聽起來很像夢想？相信我，作為一個工作狂，這感覺很奇怪，好像有罪⋯ （幹嘛不好好享受就好🤦🏽‍♀️）我在台灣已經習慣了高速忙碌的生活，但現在的我似乎感覺是漂浮在宇宙中，只能一步一步慢慢來，因為建立基礎總是最難。

在台灣待了 11 年後，這也不是意外吧。我過來就是想做出改變。 只是改變之前其實我不知道結果會怎麼樣。

搬到一個新的地方就像從0開始（或從1開始因為至少這次至少不需要再學一個新語言）。
我開始重建我的生活，找新結構。雖然這滿有趣，但也有他的難處，因為在尋找和認識新地方時，心裡會不穩定。

但我已開始擁抱這個緩慢的過程。 想讓更多我喜愛的東西進入生活，同時過濾不必要的事物。雖然常常也有沉默和空虛，但我想允許那個空間存我的內心，也許讓它空虛一段時間。 為何不？ 沉默也有聲音。

生活不是比賽，而是旅程
我們可以走得快，也可以走得慢
繼續按照自己的節奏前進就好👣

email copywriting學英文 — errand呢個字點解？⁣
⁣
我曾經同一個好有心機學好英文嘅學生上堂。⁣
⁣
雖然一對一嘅薪酬唔高，但係我教呢個學生亦都非常之開心，因為呢個學生非常之乖、好有心機學野。⁣
⁣
呢個學生而家做咗記者，雖然主要用嚟寫作嘅語言唔係中文，但係佢非常之有心機學好英文。⁣
⁣
我地成日喺CityU嘅canteen同唔同嘅cafe上堂。我成日都同呢個學生賞析唔同類型嘅文章，包括報紙上嘅評論、雜誌（例如已經執咗笠嘅Hong Kong Magazine）上嘅文章、email上嘅文字，甚至莎士比亞嘅劇作等等。⁣
⁣
呢個學生問過我一個問題，佢問我：⁣
⁣
「Tiffany，點解你訂閱咁多電郵啊，你唔會覺得inbox成日幾百封email，好大壓力咩，咁咪成日要清理個email mailbox ？」⁣
⁣
我答佢：⁣
⁣
「唔會，我好鍾意睇email，學吓人地點樣介紹佢地嘅產品同向我sell嘢架。睇嚟冇嘢學嗰啲，我好快就會清咗佢。如果啲email長期令我學唔到野，我更加會unsubscribe（停止訂閱），但係好多email都令我學到好多野，亦都會幫到我溫習到好多英文嘅知識㗎 ！」⁣
⁣
對於我黎講，閱讀唔同公司send黎嘅email，就好似住喺唐樓咁，每一日都要行樓梯，不知不覺之間身體就會好咗。⁣
⁣
當然，呢個方法未必適合所有人，有啲人好憎distractions，反而鍾意由頭到尾完完整整咁睇完一本書。⁣
⁣
I, personally, for one, thrive in distractions. 我好鍾意從唔同嘅source度逐少逐少咁學英文。⁣
⁣
Email newsletter，唔同嘅公司唔同嘅品牌send俾客人，同同客人溝通嘅工具，所以一定要淺白，最好仲可以偶然睿智同幽默，但又唔可以高深度人哋睇唔明。⁣
⁣
學英文嘅人最容易犯嘅其中一個錯誤係咩？⁣
⁣
就係越學越深，越鑽越深，寫嘅嘢亦都越嚟越深，深到人哋根本睇唔明，但自己就寫得好high好開心。⁣
⁣
例如依一封Uber send黎嘅email裏面，errand意思係差事/小差，例如買餸、湊仔放學、乾洗、放狗。⁣
⁣
英文裡面通常會講 run an errand、do an errand。⁣
⁣
例句：I’ve got an errand to run.⁣
⁣
呢個字非常好用，亦用得直接到point，清楚表示Uber可以幫到顧客慳時間。我大約係喺中級中學嘅時期學識嘅。⁣
⁣
有同學會話，既然你都已經識呢個字，點解仲要重溫？⁣
要不斷能夠省起同記起呢個字，就係要間唔耐就見到佢、間唔耐又見到佢 （see it from time to time），咁要用嘅時候，就唔會省唔起。就好似作曲家要聽同賞析音樂，啟發自己作曲一樣。⁣
⁣
學英文，為咗嘅，從來唔止係學新生字，仲係為咗溫舊生字。⁣
