1
Hey everyone, it's Lin again and I am here to finally admit that I have a problem and that is my phone.
2
My screen time on my phone is way more than I'd ever want it to be.
3
It might not sound that startling if you look at the daily average,
4
but then one day I calculated how much of my life I would spend on my phone if I kept at it.
5
So we are going to calculate how many hours I would spend on my phone for my adult life.
6
So this is not even including adolescents, okay?
7
So we're being really generous here.
8
I'm gonna assume that I live until 80.
9
Maybe it'll be more, maybe it'll be less.
10
But if we do 80 minus 18, that's 62.
11
And I spend approximately six hours a day on my phone.
12
So we're gonna do times seven,
13
and times four the month,
14
and times 12 for the year.
15
This number is already outrageous.
16
This number is already outrageous.
17
But now we can do times 62.
18
And then we're gonna divide by 8760.
19
So for my adult life,
20
I will spend 14 years.
21
14.25 years.
22
So if you divide that by 62,
23
that is nearly a quarter of my adult life.
24
Let's think about that.
25
Let's think of...
26
What?
27
What?
28
While we're at it.
29
Why don't we just look at my screen time breakdown?
30
Okay, like what apps am I using the most?
31
12 hours and 22 minutes on a webtoon.
32
Okay, so I just started a new webtoon.
33
It's called After School Lessons for Unwrite Apples and it's really good, y'all.
34
9 hours and 22 minutes on Instagram last week.
35
Okay, so I was working a lot last week, so maybe that's fine.
36
I don't even create a lot of content for TikTok,
37
so I feel like this is just me endlessly consuming.
38
Evidence that I have a social life, I guess.
39
What that?
40
I overthink text messages I send to people.
41
I think it's easy to say like,
42
Lynn, you just gotta go touch grass, be one with nature.
43
I've done that.
44
immediately after, my screen time, still bad.
45
I mean, it's hard not to be on your phone
46
when every tool that we need to navigate the modern world is on this brick.
47
Your calendar, your camera, music,
48
communication, news, memories, games, movies.
49
Even when I've tried to disaggregate all my tools,
50
like I listen to music with my pretentious little headphones or I try bringing around a digital film camera to capture memories.
51
I was never even an e-reader person in the first place,
52
so I still like carrying around physical books.
53
I feel like I'm not getting to the root of the issue.
54
What excites me to create and go out and experience things?
55
Navigating life as a 20-something right now,
56
all my Gen Z people,
57
you understand this timeline is so crazy.
58
As everything on this channel is,
59
it's a work in progress.
60
But there are seven things I'd like to discuss that have helped me find excitement and experiencing life again.
61
The possibility of being bad or failing is exciting.
62
But it's also scary.
63
I've tried out a lot of new things in the past year.
64
One of them being rock climbing,
65
which I'm not gonna lie.
66
I'm still scared of doing that.
67
I'm not scared of heights.
68
I'm just scared of falling.
69
But another new thing that I learned was an offshoot of skills I already had,
70
and that's making 3D art.
71
Specifically on my iPad with Feather 3D.
72
Other programs like Blender still really intimidate me,
73
but the learning curve for Feather 3D as someone who enjoys digital illustration has been drawing my entire life.
74
It's steep enough to keep my interest
75
but once you do learn all the tools I feel like the world is literally your canvas.
76
You can do so many cool sick things in feather 3d.
77
This is my first illustration I made and this is my most recent one.
78
So while it can be fun and exhilarating to dip your toes into completely uncharted waters,
79
sometimes learning something that is tangential to something you're familiar with can help ease you in without scaring you off.
80
Or perhaps you don't want to invest into a new hobby quite yet,
81
so my suggestion is to return to something old,
82
revitalize an old hobby, and for me this time around it's learning my heritage language, Vietnamese.
83
There are so many meaningful experiences,
84
words, moments that cannot translate to any other language,
85
and it's such a special intimate thing.
86
You know, you just gotta know the language to understand the feeling and the weight of it,
87
And with Rosetta Stone, I've seen immense progress with my speaking, writing, reading skills.
88
In case you don't know,
89
Rosetta Stone is an immersive language learning app that uses pictures,
90
audio, and native pronunciation tools to focus on context-based learning rather than memorization.
91
As a heritage speaker, Rosetta Stone has given me the structure and the coursework,
92
you know, the guidelines to continue my language learning after college and outside of my family home.
93
I also want to build out the more technical parts of Vietnamese vocabulary
94
so I can talk about current events in the media.
95
Relevant things rather than just like hey what do you want for dinner?
96
So I've been working on the specialized units that Rosetta Stone has curated.
97
I'm currently on unit 12, places and events.
98
They combine multiple different learning styles to create dynamic immersion in their lesson plans
99
and it's the most intuitive way to learn a lesson.

103
Thank you Rosetta Stone for partnering with me for this video and for keeping me on track.
104
I do feel a great sense of responsibility to preserve my language and my culture as I get older.
105
For the future generations, I want to be able to pass that on.
106
And I've also been inspired to do a little bit more archiving,
107
specifically by documenting and preserving family photos and my own knickknacks.
108
If you've been watching my channel for a while,
109
or just honestly if you've watched one of my videos,
110
you would know that I keep everything that I consider sentimental or aesthetic that comes my way.
111
And I don't mean photo strips and postcards and nice things like that.
112
I'll keep things that other people will consider trash.
113
And my organization system for a while was it end up in the bottom of my bag or my purse,
114
and then I clean it out,
115
and I put it into Ziploc bags,
116
Like so many Ziploc bags.
117
And up until a few months ago,
118
it was just sitting around collecting dust until I decided to finally hunker down and organize everything into scrapbooks and books.
119
For instance, this one is a photo booklet I got while I was in Korea.
120
It holds photo strips and four by six shots.
121
And this sketchbook I turned into a junk journal.
122
It's not in chronological order,
123
but it starts from when I was in college,
124
specifically around my gap year time and goes up into my travels now.
125
It has all the things that I couldn't bear to throw away from traveling.
126
And I also printed out photos using instant film printers or a regular printer.
127
And it's very nice and beautiful to see all my mementos have a place to live and be preserved.
128
And now today we are going to build on the same concept of archiving all your memories
129
because I finally bought a scrapbook,
130
a proper D-ring scrapbook that has the plastic seal pages got it on sale at Michael's for $10.
131
Which I think that's a pretty good deal.
132
And I just got back from visiting home and I knew
133
that my parents had tons of photos from when we were kids.
134
So I raided their bedroom drawers and took all of them.
135
This envelope, it's dated January 9th, 2003.
136
So I was two years old.
137
And inside these envelopes are the original film strips from what
138
I'm assuming are the disposable cameras they use to take photos of us.
139
And I couldn't bear to let them sit unseen in these envelopes anymore so we're going to put them away today.
140
Memories nowadays exist in our Instagram archives,
141
virtual photo albums, and the cloud but nothing beats a printed photo especially the ones
142
that predated the digital age something you can hold and cherish.
143
There's this Vietnamese trend right now inspired by Ushun Voong where
144
people explain the significance of a word over a sentimental cut of b-roll footage
145
and even at the risk of being corny there's actually this word I want to talk about.
146
We.
147
It's a term you use when you're talking about a thing that is valuable and precious to you.
148
And I don't mean things of great wealth or status or even people.
149
Most folks, at the end of the day,
150
hold objects close to their hearts because it reminds them of people they love or moments they want to remember forever.
151
But because of displacement and war,
152
it's much more difficult to trace back my family's archives
153
and memories since much of it doesn't exist or it's scattered across random relatives,
154
shoeboxes, and photo albums.
155
Even though the material things we have in our lives are probably the first that we'll sacrifice,
156
it doesn't mean you're exempt from the feeling of loss and grief when you don't have it with you anymore.
157
I was hella nostalgic going through all the photos and seeing young Lin,
158
baby Lin, but what really hit me was reading all the notes,
159
the cards, and letters that were written to me throughout my life.
160
From high school to graduation to college to many birthdays,
161
just seeing my name iterated again and again in the handwriting of so many people that I love.
162
I'm so happy I have evidence of these happy memories because we want to remember everything.
163
But do we?
164
Life would be so overwhelming if we didn't know how to let go and forget.
165
In this plastic bag, I have everything that I don't want to keep,
166
including artwork made by my ex and letters and postcards,
167
photos of people that I had a falling out with and such.
168
I did keep too many receipts and airplane tickets,
169
so those are getting recycled too.
170
And I held onto a ton of things that I would get in the mail or paint strips,
171
paint strips, just random pieces of cardstock.
172
But for every embarrassing, awkward memory that I would love to forget,
173
there is a good one.
174
So I don't mind.
175
Oh, look, it's you.
176
What's the difference?
177
Yeah.
178
I think it's easy to wrongfully pinpoint certain genres of media,
179
such as video games, as meaningless uses of time.
180
But genuinely, a video game that has changed so much of my perspective on life,
181
relationships, the way I approach grief and love and caretaking is this wonderful game called Spiritfarer.
182
Now, if you know me in real life,
183
I've probably talked your ear off about it.
184
Spiritfarer is a game about dying.
185
You play as the main character,
186
Stella, with her cat Daphne,
187
as you help these passengers process their memories and their past lives,
188
and eventually move through the Everdore.
189
As I've gotten older, people in my life that are family that I care about have begun to pass away.
190
In this past spring, I had to mourn a relative that I grew up hearing so many stories about from my mom,
191
but I never got to meet because they lived in Norway.
192
And it was a strange and tough experience for my body and mind and heart to process,
193
performing funeral rites for someone I never got to hug,
194
someone I had never gotten a chance to take a photo with.
195
And playing through Spiritfarer showed me that there is not a one size fits all journey when it comes to processing grief.
196
And part of living life is that you will have regret
197
or shame or guilt over the things you did or could not do.
198
And you might be thinking,
199
Lin, based on the gameplay I'm seeing on your screen right now,
200
it doesn't match up with what you're saying, which is pretty heavy.
201
Spiritfarer does a wonderful job of balancing the character's beautiful emotional dialogue with really fun ways to mine resources,
202
level up your ship, unlock new outfits, and explore the world.
203
And as you progress in the story as Stella,
204
you'll learn that managing a ship for the dead is no easy task.
205
You have passengers literally making you go across the world because they have beef with their lover.
206
But despite it all, you do it because you care and love them.
207
And when it's their time to go,
208
you learn how to say goodbye.
209
Like Spiritfarer, there have been some books that I've read,
210
I've gone back into reading,
211
that have had me in a grip.
212
I mean, I'm glued to the page.
213
I wake up and the first thing I want to do is go.
214
And even after I finished a book,
215
I'm on the Reddit threads.
216
I'm looking up people's dissertations and essays about characters or subplots or the themes of this book.
217
And if you are curious about the books that had me so engrossed that I was doing these deep dives on Reddit,
218
here they are.
219
East of Eden, my opinion,
220
the contender for the great American novel by John Steinbeck is considered his magnum opus.
221
The themes about choice, individualism,
222
choosing between good and evil will forever be something that resonates with readers.
223
But my biggest takeaway from this book were the woman characters.
224
And I actually found a great essay about Kathy.
225
If you'd like to read it,
226
I'll link it in the description.
227
Hijab Butch Blues by Lamia H.
228
The memoir is about the author growing up as an immigrant,
229
as queer and Muslim, and the growing pains of those awkward teenage years when you're figuring out your sexuality.
230
And that doesn't end.
231
It blooms all the way into college and adulthood
232
and she tells these really relatable stories about navigating dating and the city while balancing the expectations of your community and career.
233
And the author challenges her internal need to be of service to be indispensable to everyone in her life,
234
and they offer up this reimagining of what it means to put down roots,
235
of what relationships can look like to other people and yourself.
236
And lastly, I recently re-read excerpts from Care Work.
237
If you're one of those people who thinks,
238
oh everyone wants a village,
239
but nobody wants to be a villager,
240
you should read this book.
241
The book advocates for social infrastructure that promotes interdependence
242
and care webs all from the perspective of critical disability studies
243
and after a year of living in new york i am finally going to get my library card
244
let's go hello we're at the shoresman library
245
which is more famously known as the banana fish library i've actually never been inside
246
so we're gonna go took the long commute all the way to the banana fish library
247
because they actually have a special exhibit of baldwin's work
248
and i read Giovanni's room for the first time in the spring
249
and there was an original draft manuscript of the book
250
and including epic nuggets of history the libraries in New York have so many resources for you to use.
251
I mean I grew up being a public library kid.
252
Hi, I'm here to get my library card but I already got it online.
253
There was actually a book that I was looking for
254
and it was super fun to search it up in the catalog and find it by myself.
255
And I can't wait to read more books from the library.
256
If you're like me, there's probably a gazillion things that you've put off on doing,
257
such as getting your library card and having access to all these things for free.
258
You know, you pay your taxes.
259
So like this is your taxpayer money.
260
Another thing I've been putting off that I've been meaning to do is altering my clothes.
261
I have this pile in my bedroom.
262
So we are going to take some things that I already own and give it a little bit more life.
263
I recently cleaned out my closet and a more in-depth video documenting this will come in the future.
264
But it made me confront my relationship to fashion and gender presentation.
265
Because let's admit it, I have a uniform.
266
I wear the same clothes,
267
same silhouettes, and colors on a daily basis.
268
And any other articles that I'm holding on to out of sentiment,
269
out of hope it fits me again one day,
270
or out of hypothetical scenarios I might need it for,
271
I mean, I just don't wear them.
272
And clothes should be something you wear and they should fit you,
273
not the other way around.
274
I like things that are comfortable.
275
I mean, everything new I buy now is likely just some variation of something I already own.
276
And you should wear the clothes you want to wear now, every day.
277
One thing that limited my existing wardrobe's full potential was cropping all these thrifted shirts.
278
And because I was finally able to kick my doom scrolling habits,
279
I can now proudly don my cropped button-ups.
280
And last but not least,
281
we're taking inspiration for middle school, high school win.
282
If you're unaware, I'm well known for my childhood bedroom and for my decorating.
283
And as a kid, I would impulsively rearrange my room all the dang time.
284
I mean, I would be pushing furniture around my room at 2 a.m in the morning,
285
and my parents would be like, what is going on?
286
You can't be doing this.
287
Revamping and maintaining my environment has kept my mind fresh for ideas.
288
The most adult things about me now is,
289
one, I make my bed every single morning,
290
and two, I never go to bed with dirty dishes in the sink.
291
Having a messy environment has an effect on how you rest or how you work and play.
292
You know, if my office is messy,
293
I'm not going to want to go in there and paint or film something or draw or write.
294
And if the only place in my house that is somewhat clean is my bedroom,
295
of course, I'm going to have horizontal scrolling time.
296
So doing all the small tasks to keep your environment lively,
297
to keep it clean and organized,
298
can do a lot for your well-being and creative spirit in the long run.
299
Thank you so much for watching.
300
I did choose to talk about seven things because of BTS.
301
So my one year anniversary of moving to New York was a few weeks ago.
302
And I can't believe that time flies so fast.
303
It's been a year of growing pains,
304
fruitful experiences, crazy life events,
305
just all of it packed into one.
306
I mean, I wouldn't have it any other way.
307
I wouldn't have it any other way.
308
And I hope that my reflections and my experiences help you get off your phone.
309
And thank you to Rosetta Stone for partnering with me throughout this year and for this video.
310

313
But yeah, I'll see you in the next video.
314
Toodaloo.

背景及上下文
在這段影片中，Lin 分享了她對個人手機使用時間的反思。她計算出如果繼續這樣使用手機，她的成年生活中將有將近14年的時間都花在手機上。Lin 提到她在不同社交媒體和應用程式上花費的時間，並表示即使試圖減少手機使用，現代生活的各種需求仍使她難以脫離手機的束縛。這段對話引發了我們對於如何平衡數位生活和實體生活的思考。
日常交流的五個關鍵短語
- 在這段時間裡 (during this time)
- 我計算出 (I've calculated)
- 成年生活 (adult life)
- 手機使用時間 (screen time)
- 很難不去 (hard not to)
以上這些短語能幫助你在進行日常英語口語練習時更加自信，並能更流利地表達思想。使用這些關鍵短語時，建議進行shadow speak練習，這將有助於加強你的投影技術。
逐步跟讀指南
對於這段影片的學習，建議採用以下的逐步跟讀方法來提高你的英語口語能力：
- 初步觀看：首先，不要看字幕，專注於聽 Lin 的聲音和語調，試著捕捉大意。
- 使用字幕：再次觀看，這次打開英文字幕，注意聽和讀的對應。
- 跟讀練習：選擇影片中的幾句話，比如“在這段時間裡”和“成年生活”，重複 Lin 的說法，注意語音的連結和韻律。
- 自主練習：模仿 Lin 的語調和風格，自行錄音後比較你和她的表達。
- 反思與應用：想想 Lin 的手機使用情況，分享你的類似故事，並使用之前學到的短語進行交流。
這樣的練習不僅能增強你的聆聽能力，還能有效提升你的英語口語練習技巧，進一步為雅思口语练习打下堅實的基礎。透過有效的逐步跟讀及反思，你將能在交流中更自如地使用英語，變得更加自信。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
