Hi everyone!

So this is episode number four for Pillow Talk with special guest, Karen!

Hi!

Do you guys remember Karen from Summer Goals?

She was the really cute girl.

The one that did this and probably a lot of this.

Topics are how to deal with failure, rejection, sacrifice, and living by your parents' standards.

Let's go.

I can't go.

Okay, okay.

Go first.

Alright, this is by Relax2Nature.

When we hear the word rejection, it usually means something unpleasant.

But is there a positive side of rejection?

Sometimes we tend to feel like rejection is a bad or negative connotation because that's what society displaces on us.

However, I always had this belief in this mantra that rejection is a blessing in disguise.

Rejection is just one way of directing you to the right place that you need to be.

Everything happens for a reason, so if this doesn't happen right now, then something else is meant to happen.

I heard this one saying that really resonated with me and hopefully it resonates with you guys.

God or the universe always has three answers to any of your questions or concerns.

It's always yes, not yet, or I have something better.

Oh yeah.

So Lisa Chan asked, how would you tell your parents about wanting to live your own life

and not something they would expect from you?

I think a lot of times we feel like our parents don't understand us, don't communicate with them what we want, they really won't understand us.

It's true.

I know my parents were immigrants, so I knew like they went through so much and they didn't want us to go through the same hardships.

When I graduated from college, I was told that I needed a nine to five job.

Imagine trying to explain to your parents like, hey, mom and dad, I'm gonna quit my job now and make YouTube videos.

I think for them to really understand why this means so much to me is that I

I showed consistency in the things that I want.

I'm not just saying, "Hey mom, dad, I want to become a YouTuber or I want to become a painter." But instead, I show them that I'm doing it.

That dedication shows maturity and once you show maturity to your parents, that's when they can start believing in you.

Yeah, they trust you.

It's so true.

So Roshika, she asked, "How do I deal with failure?

It's depressing when I can't live up to my own standards."

I guess an example that I can give from myself is When I first started my YouTube channel, I had this expectation in my mind,

like how I want my videos to turn out.

but If I kept having that expectation, then I would not keep uploading things because I would just be disappointed every single time.

practicing and practicing and practicing.

In each practice you can You know, give yourself a pat on the back, like, "Wow, I did it !" You know, like, I...

I stepped out of my comfort zone to achieve something that I couldn't before.

So instead of thinking of it as a failure, think of it as mini -accomplishments to get you to that final goal.

Yes, yes.

Pat on the bag, mini accomplishments!

All the time.

You gotta keep doing that to keep you going.

Failure invites change.

That's how I see it.

And change could be a good thing.

AJ asks, "I'm scared about going to college and realizing I don't like my major or career decision.

Please help." It's okay.

Like seriously, it's okay if you don't know what you want to do even up until the point you graduate.

It takes time.

I mean, for some people it takes them a lifetime to find their passion.

College should be like an introduction to a new world for you to explore.

being on your own, being a responsible adult, being responsible for your time.

I feel like college teaches you a lot about time management.

Like if you have a class at 8am, you have to wake yourself up.

You're not going to have your parents there waking you up.

I know for a fact that right before I went to college, I thought that it was going to be a lot harder than high school, but it's actually a lot easier.

It is easier.

Because you don't have to go to six classes in one day.

You might be going to two to three different classes.

Yeah.

And you end up having a lot of time in your life day

and you can pick your teachers yeah you get to go on teachers enjoy this moment

because you're not gonna be around this many creative like -minded people in college because

when you go out into the real world it's really different

it's actually harder I feel they know like people actually say oh the real world's really hard

and I never really understood it until I had to go into it So enjoy it, please.

Tutus are sweeter asks, how do you pursue a career in art while being recognized for your intellect?

Love your advice.

I think society often discredits or doesn't give enough credit for creative people.

And if you just look around your, like everything around you, look at the magazines or like clothes or packaging, right?

Everything.

This room.

Yeah, there's someone that thought about how to put all the things in the world all that together.

Whenever there's design, there's a sense of intelligence behind it.

But it's another form of intelligence that's not about words or writing or books or science.

It's visual or it's sound, it's audio or it's taste.

If you want to pursue a career in art, there's so many different paths you can take.

You don't just have to be a painter.

You can be a social media manager that focuses on the creativity of the social media, creative director.

You could also be a stylist.

I mean, there's so many different facets of creativity.

Don't just limit yourself to one.

Final question is from Eleanor Foy.

She asked, Michelle, how do you deal with feeling isolated and lonely at school?

Love you.

Love you too.

There's nothing wrong with learning how to be comfortable by yourself and your own thoughts.

Good people will attract good people.

I think feeling isolated is only temporary because you'll eventually be attracted or you'll find good people If anything,

I think it's a blessing in disguise because You filter out.

the not so good people out of your life.

And so you only have like a handful of good people in your life.

And those are the only people that you do want in your life anyway.

100

If you want to find people, if you want change in your life, you have to invite that change.

101

And sometimes that change can be scary, but you need to have that challenge to push you into a different direction for your personal development.

102

So that's pretty much it guys.

103

These were all the questions.

104

Thank you so much for asking these great questions.

105

We hope you guys enjoyed the video and hopefully they were helpful.

106

You guys are so sweet!

107

108

为什么要用这个视频来练习口语？

在学习英语的过程中，口语练习是非常重要的一环。通过此视频，我们不仅能听到真实的交流场景，还能学习如何在面对失败、拒绝及父母期望时表达自己的感受。视频中的两位嘉宾分享了他们对这些困境的看法，展示了积极应对挑战的态度。这导致了许多有用的表达方式和思考角度，特别适合进行雅思口语练习和英语影子跟读。通过模仿他们的对话，您可以提高自己的英语口语能力，对应这些生活中常见的情境，使您的发音更自然。

语法与表达的语境

“Rejection is just one way of directing you to the right place” - 这种句子结构说明了否定事物时的积极反思能力，可以用来讲述个人经历。
“Everything happens for a reason” - 此句强调事物的因果关系，适合在讨论生活哲学时使用。
“I showed consistency” - 在描述行动或努力的时候，用这种结构可以让你展示自己的坚持与决心。
“Think of it as mini-accomplishments” - 这种表达方式能帮助你在谈论失败时转化思维，增强积极性。

常见的发音陷阱

在观看视频时，您可能会注意到一些难以发音的单词或口音。例如，“rejection”这个词的发音在快速对话中容易模糊，特别是在不同口音间的使用。在进行英语影子跟读时，请特别注意音节的重音和连读现象，以提高英语发音。此外，短语“God or the universe”的连贯表达也可能在初学者中造成困惑，建议进行反复练习，以便在真实对话中更加自信和流利。

通过结合这些练习，不仅能帮助您提高英语口语技能，还能增强您应对各种生活挑战的能力。记得勤加练习，并不断挑战自己的发音！

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：

结构	视频中的用法
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的	is meant · was told · being recognized
动词 + -ing enjoy、keep、stop… + -ing — 后接 -ing 形式的动词	start believing · kept having
义务：must / have to / need to 表示某事是必要的	need to be · have to wake · have to go
“will” 表将来 will + 动词 — 决定、承诺或预测	won't understand · will attract · you'll eventually

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。
