1
she loves food and I love food.
2
So our love language together is food.
3
Hi, I'm Millie Bobby Brown and I'm here to talk about parenting.
4
What's one thing about motherhood that no one really prepared you for?
5
The love.
6
People say they love their children.
7
I couldn't, I don't understand how that much happens in my heart.
8
I don't know how the feeling is so overwhelming.
9
It's just incomprehensible.
10
Can you tell us about a moment with your child where you felt totally unsure?
11
Yeah, like naturally just when you see something, like they're doing something, you're like, is that normal?
12
Did they do that?
13
And, you know, I call my mom.
14
She's just like my 911.
15
I'm just like, Mom, did I do this?
16
Did, you know, my siblings do this?
17
And she's like, oh, yeah, that's completely normal.
18
They do that all the time. So great.
19
Like, I'm so honoured to have support.
20
And if I can't call her, I call my mother-in-law.
21
And she's just like the same way.
22
You know, it's just like so nice to hear reassurance.
23
What's your favorite thing to do with your child?
24
She loves food, and I love food.
25
So our love language together is food.
26
Like we just love to sit there and eat
27
and she always wants to try what I'm having and I'm always eating what she's having.
28
How has your life changed since becoming a mum?
29
My life has changed in a lot of ways.
30
Raising a daughter is a real responsibility
31
and I just try to learn as much as I can
32
and feed it into her life so that she knows nothing other than girls supporting girls,
33
women succeeding, achieving their dreams and living in a world and building a world for her.
34
That isn't unrealistic but it sets a standard for her to know that she shouldn't settle for anything less.
35
To describe parenting in a phrase I would say take it one day at a time.
36
Like my husband and I always say, we're just like, today was today and tomorrow's gonna be tomorrow.
37
Let's just sleep.
38
You just take it day by day.

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
