[Music]

hi claire

claire how are you feeling now

hi everyone thanks for coming over to

see me i feel better now

we were worried today when you fainted

in class

i’m sorry for making you all worried

it’s okay but what happened claire

you seem very tired these days

i tried to lose weight i was on a diet

last month but it didn’t work

i saw an intensive fasting program

online and followed that program today

is the third day of fasting

your body must be exhausted from a lack

of nutrients

or you had low blood sugar because you

starved yourself

every day

instead try to eat less each meal and

exercise consistently

you’re right i should not rush to lose

weight

yourself we hope you will recover soon

stress and relaxation

stress is a feeling of emotional or

physical tension

it can affect your health a lot

let’s watch the video and see three

friends talk about their stress

[Music]

hello guys how are you doing

oh good

what a dress i really like its color

hi emma

where did you buy it

js store in the east of the city

that is the new store in this city

it looks gorgeous

how much does it cost

a hundred and twenty nine dollars it’s

discounted thirty percent

it has the colors red purple blue and

black

if you really like it you should go to

the new store to buy it as soon as

possible

it will be sold out soon because they

just released 1 000 at all

should i buy it

does it fit me

you should go there to try

ah you can come to our home

then you can try mine we have the same

size don’t we

sure i will take you home

chris what’s wrong with you

why do you look so tired

nothing much

i heard that you just broke up didn’t

you

yes one month ago chris but i’m okay

with it we broke up in peace

we are still friends

last week i still went to his birthday

party

i think it’s weird being friends with an

ex-boyfriend

are you kidding me

hey come on it’s common we still support

each other in our business

ignore this one chris tell me what

happened with you

come on we’re best friends you should

tell us your problem

then you know emma and i can help you

handle it

money boyfriend or whatever

no not it’s because of my job

what

i think you like it so much i remember

that you leave the company near your

house to take that job

what happened

we have a problem with my colleague i

had to create five ideas for new

products

i prepared them on my planning note then

sent them to him my designer

and then

then he did it for me

but you know all the target files were

not accepted

because the size was not corrected

when i uploaded them on the system they

look so terrible

how did you fix them

i haven’t fixed them yet because if i

want to change files you have to have

access to admission from the manager

i am stressed out because of it and now

he blamed it on me

but it’s not your fault bro

it’s mine because i take responsibility

for checking quality and uploading

next time you must be careful don’t

trust anyone totally

yes i got it

i will be minus commission this month

no worries it gives you some lessons and

you will have more experience

everything has its price

stress will affect your health actually

do you think which are the main reasons

for stress

for me it’s my job over time every day

making me stressed out i just come back

home at 9 30 pm

are you paid for the over hours

absolutely she will it should be

following labor law

no it’s my choice i cannot complete my

tasks in the working time so i should

try my best to achieve my kpi

chris you should take your time for

yourself if you get stressed for a long

time it will be a big problem

stress causes mental health problems

such as depression anxiety and

personality disorders

even obesity and other eating disorders

really it’s so bad

yes it can affect your skin and hair as

well like acne and permanent hair loss

my job makes me stressed as well you

know i’m a freelancer right

because of the covid situation i don’t

have many clients as i had

but i see you are always happy

it’s just the outside performance i

always want to inspire everyone

so if you are feeling stressed what do

you do

i go to bed

it is my best way to reduce stress

then when i wake up i will have some

healthy food for myself

something like fruits and vegetarian

food

i find out that it’s not helped me to

reduce it but also have smooth skin and

a fit body

cool lily

what about you emma if you are feeling

stressed what do you do

i am not usually stressed out but when

my mood is going down i will take time

for myself

i will do everything i love such as

reading my favorite books watching a

movie or meditating

i think you should try to meditate it

makes you happy inside and beautiful

outside

chris do you often do exercise

not really

i super like walking but you know i

don’t have time

chris take time for yourself

go home early and do exercise

it will reduce stress and you can

practice your mental health as well

having a lucid brain makes you work more

effectively

yes i understand

thanks for your advice

and smile

don’t forget laughter is the best

medicine

yes yes that’s right

see you

show me your happy face

you should focus on your symptoms both

in emotion and physical

like do you feel bad about yourself

lonely worthless and depressed

do you see yourself having headaches

chest pain and cold or sweaty hands and

feet

when you see yourself have these

symptoms your body and mind really need

to relax

don’t forget that you should think

positively always

it is one of the best ways to avoid

stress

but you know it’s not easy i cannot

achieve the aims i cannot

hey chris listen

sometimes positive is not perfection

sweetie

it must be that you can accept

everything you don’t expect

that’s right if you have any problems

don’t forget to share them with us

come on we are friends

if you don’t talk about anything

we will be upset a lot

alright i know thank you so so much for

helping me

come on you do that again i have to give

you a penalty note

remember we are friends friends always

help each other

do you want to order anything else i

just feel so hungry

they have red velvets a best seller

really i haven’t tried it here

it’s the new one absolutely

wanna try

you know me absolutely

and you chris

i will have ginger cookies set

okay i will go order

show me your smile chris

and it’s on me

hmm look you are so pretty when smiling

thank you

wait for me

[Music]

childhood lie

have you ever been lied to when you were

a kid

let’s watch the video and see what lies

are about

john lucy and clarks respectively tell

their story about one time they have

been fooled when they were kids

john

have you been fooled by your parents

when you were a kid

yeah

absolutely

i still remember what happened when i

was four years old

that’s a long story

come on buddy

tell us

yeah

i’m really curious

okay

that was when i was going home on the

first day of kindergarten

it was my dad who walked me home

at that time my family lived in the

countryside

and the kindergarten was not far away

from my house

so i always went to the kindergarten on

foot every day

i told him i don’t want to go to

kindergarten and i prefer to stay at

home

he said to let him discuss with mom

first before answering me

i once wished i had grown up in the

countryside

i love rice fields and camping in the

mountain a lot

i have never been to the countryside

will you take us there john

yes but

let me finish my story first

things would go fine until we passed a

really weird manhole cover

it’s painted yellow with the face of

pac-man on it

it i felt so funny and told my dad about

you’re so childish john

yeah i know

but the story was not just that

my dad turned to a poker face and he

told me he would reveal the truth

he said he wasn’t my own father

but he had brought me home from that

manhole cover on a summer night

mom didn’t tell me because she was

afraid i would be sad

what

no way

did you believe that

of course yes

my parents had never lied to me before

and i trusted them

i was shocked by this and cried a lot on

the way home

[Music]

my dad said i shouldn’t be worried

because my parents loved me a lot and

would never abandon me

but i was still scared

i told him i would be obedient and went

to the kindergarten

your dad shouldn’t have told you that

that’s hurtful

i agree

yeah after that i became an obedient

child

because i was scared of being kicked out

of my house

this is why i didn’t dare tell my mom

until i entered primary school

my new grade one teacher asked the whole

class on day one to write down our

birthday on the class information paper

i told her i don’t have a real birthday

and this is a complicated story

was she angry

she tried to ask me but i didn’t tell

her anything

and then

one of my friends from the kindergarten

said loudly before the class

he doesn’t know his birthday because his

parents brought him home from the

pac-man manhole cover

nobody knows his birthday

what did your teacher do at that time

the teacher was confused

after class she called my mom to clarify

my mom had no idea what was going on she

was like what no way

he’s my son my only son and i gave birth

to him

your dad should be worried

yeah the rage of that woman

my mom then scolded my dad a lot for

saying that and didn’t say a word to him

for a month

[Music]

for me

i felt serene because finally

i knew that i was my mom’s true son

wow i didn’t expect that you could

believe it for so many years

i was also told a lie once when i was a

kid but

it didn’t hurt as much as you

tell us your story

okay

when i was a kid my mom and i lived in

my grandparents house because my dad was

away

they had a cat called mina a female one

i felt so lonely because i didn’t know

those kids in the neighborhood and she

was there to cheer me up and play with

however

one morning after waking up i tried to

find her as usual but i found out she

had disappeared

did she leave

yeah

kind of

i asked my mom where she was and my mom

told me that nina had head to

los angeles with her godmother

she wanted to become an actress

what

the cat wanted to become an actress

ridiculous

at that age i did believe that i could

talk to her for real

although i lost my best friend i

convinced myself that was good for her

because she might become a superstar one

day

you’re such a girl with an angelic heart

lucy

i agree

you guys know what

two years later i thought it was mina

when i saw a poster from the movie dog

and cat

i still wondered if i might be wrong

until the day came out to the public

when i saw mina acting in that movie i

was so moved

my little sister did it

she finally became an actress

i boasted about this all over the school

and felt so proud until

until

until i was in grade 8 my family went to

my grandparents house to celebrate

thanksgiving

i told my grandpa about the successful

actress mina but he turned to me and

said with a gentle voice

my sweetie i’m sorry but nina died on

the night before the day when your

mother told you she was away

[Music]

oh my dear lucy

it is such a sad story

yeah i felt truly depressed after that

what about you clark did you have any

similar experiences with us

when i was a little kid like you guys

i was really curious about my parents

occupations

i asked dad hey dad

what do you do for a living

and he told me he was an architect

he still loves his job until today

however when i asked him about my mom’s

job

he didn’t answer

i cried and forced him to tell me mom’s

job or i would never play with him again

he laughed and murmured your mother’s

occupation is top secret

you mustn’t tell this to anyone okay

okay daddy you have my words i said

then

he put an arm onto my shoulder and said

your mom works for the cia

remember to keep it a secret because if

other people know it

your mom will get into a lot of trouble

and you believed that

of course

for six years

six years that i kept my mom’s secret

job

you didn’t ask your mom about it did you

he didn’t do it you know him john

finally i found out the truth

one day my family went to the ice cream

shop i turned to my mom and smiled

hey mom i know your secret

you don’t have to hide it from me

i’ll protect you

mom was like what are you talking about

clark

i told her dad had told me the truth and

she worked for the cia

and promised her i wouldn’t tell anyone

from six years ago

mom was angry and scolded dad on the way

home

he laughed ha ha

it was a kid’s story long ago i don’t

think that our son believes it

[Music]

i guess we were all fooled by our

parents

but

they are so memorable right

yeah

[Music]

i think it’s too late now i have to go

home and prepare my meal

okay bye lucy see you next time

bye everyone

at the wedding ceremony

a wedding is an occasion which marks two

people are united in marriage

let’s watch this video and explore what

may happen at a wedding

dialogue one a sad wedding

congrats to you rachel today must be the

happiest day of your life

thank you tim

wait rachel

you look quite tired are you feeling

unwell

would you like to eat something or drink

a cup of tea it may make you feel better

no tim i’m okay

actually

i’m not happy now

i just know a bad thing about my husband

david i need some advice now could you

help me tim

of course rachel please tell me what is

this

yesterday i used david’s phone to watch

a movie because my phone was charging at

this time

while i was watching the film

david’s phone received a new message

from a strange number

i read this message and it was i miss

you david

it was a big shock

i decided to read more messages from

this number on the phone

unbelievable all the messages were very

intimate

then i realized that this was the number

of david’s ex

he is going to get married to me

but he still loves his ex

what an awful person

i’m so sorry to hear that rachel

have you asked david about that

no tim i don’t want to tell him i hate

him

calm down rachel you have to face it

i think you should ask david about the

relationship between him and his ex

you should give him a chance to explain

and solve his mistake

if he doesn’t admit his fault

you should break up with him

what should i do now tim

my wedding is still going on but i’m not

ready for it

i’m not sure

you have to calm down and make your own

decision

okay

thank you tim

let me be alone for a while

everything will be okay rachel

[Music]

david

do you take rachel to be your wife

to live together and love her forever

yes

i agree

rachel

do you take david to be your husband to

live together and to love him forever

i’m not ready he has lied to me

what is the matter with her

why did she do this

know why and what parents should do for

their children to reduce this

what are you doing

i am playing video games

look at you

look at your belly

what’s wrong with my belly mom i think

it looks great

how about stopping playing video games

for a while and going for a walk with me

i think you need more exercise honey

but playing is funnier and exercising is

so tiring and boring

i don’t want to go out mommy

playing games is fun but it doesn’t do

good for your health

if you sit to play for too long

your eyes will become short-sighted and

your body will get fat

but i don’t see any of my friends

exercising they are just playing games

with me

you should build your own good habit

honey you should not follow other people

all the

time but can i go for a walk with you

tomorrow

this game is getting more and more

interesting

i don’t want to miss this

this is the first warning tom

don’t make mommy mad

[Music]

hi baby how was your day

i’m driving home sweet

today was great

how about you

i’m okay baby

but

i’m worried about tom

he has gained a lot of weight recently

and kept playing games without moving

since he went home

yeah

i also realized that

tomorrow is saturday

i think you should take him to dr henry

he is the best doctor in town i will

contact him

1pm sounds great

i will book tomorrow afternoon

ok baby

drive carefully

see you home

love you

love you too

tom

honey

have you finished your games

just one more game mom please

i will approve if you agree to see the

doctor with me tomorrow

[Music]

but

i hate hospital mom

or do you want to say goodbye to your

video games

fine

so after meeting with the doctor

can i continue to play games

yes but because tomorrow you have to see

the doctor you cannot eat anything from

tomorrow morning

no way mom

yes or i will throw away your games

tom is that you

what are you doing in the kitchen at

night

[Music]

it’s not tom mom

i know it’s your voice tom

why are you here

nothing

i’m finding my toys

there are no toys in the kitchen tom

you know that

why are you telling lies to

me sorry mom

i’m just hungry

you said i cannot eat anything tomorrow

so i’m trying to store some food in my

room

don’t be mad at me mom

oh honey how can i be mad at you

i just feel worried about your health we

will see the doctor tomorrow he will

give you some aspirins and if you follow

the doctor’s advice strictly i will let

you play video games and buy you more

toys

okay

it sounds great mom but i’m still hungry

now

there are some kiwis and apples in the

fridge

you can eat them

but i want spaghetti mom

it’s too late for that you cannot eat

spaghetti now it will ruin your teeth

and make you fatter

you know you’re not in shape tom

what about cookies mom

cookies are not acceptable as well

you can only eat fruit honey or you must

go back to your room with nothing

fine

i will take some apples and grapes

just take a few tom i don’t think

filling up your belly at the moment is

good

there are oranges as well let me make

some orange juice for you

thanks mom i love you

mommy loves you too

you’re a good kid tom

hello dr henry

my name is lena and this is my son tom

we have booked a monthly check for him

with you

hello

mrs lina and tom

how is your day tom

feel not good because my mother stopped

me from playing video games and eating

to take me there

don’t worry it won’t take too much of

your time

you just need to answer some easy

questions and do some tests

and after that you can go home and

continue to play your games and eat

whatever you like

that sounds good to me

all right

the first question

how frequently do you exercise

i don’t remember exactly

maybe one month ago

yesterday my mom asked me to go for a

walk with her but

i was busy playing games at that time

[Music]

all right

what do you usually have in your meal

my mother always wants me to eat more

vegetables and fruit

but i just like fried chicken pizza and

hamburgers because they are so yummy i

eat them four times a week

i understand

the last question here

how do you feel about your body recently

i mean does something unusual happen

i’m not sure about that

i feel hungry all the time

i also easily get frustrated angry and

upset

especially when someone jokes about my

appearance

i also easily feel tired and don’t have

enough energy to join outside activities

with my friends at school

[Music]

i think i can see your problem

i will have a talk with your mother

later

for you

i have some suggestions

i think you should join more activities

with your friends or your mom

for example

walking running

cycling

those activities are not only relaxing

and interesting

but also help boost your emotions and

your health

[Music]

and i think your mother is right

eating vegetables is much better for you

than eating chicken

pizza and hamburgers

i once tried to eat broccoli they are

disgusting to me

let’s have another try boy

this time you should try to make grilled

broccoli

i believe you will like its taste

i don’t think so

now thank you tom

i need to take out a little bit of your

blood for checkup and calculate your

blood pressure

could you follow your mom to the room at

the end of the corridor

i’m scared

i don’t want that doctor

don’t be scared boy

by the way we have chocolates for you in

that room

you can have one if you follow my

instructions

is that real

yay

okay

situation 4 discussing tutoring your

child

what day is today honey

it’s thursday what’s up babe

oh my god i thought it was friday why is

ann still watching tv she must study

right now doesn’t she

yes she is going to start at 8 30 pm i

reminded her

okay but ann is 12 already her learning

program is going to be harder day by day

especially math i was wondering if i can

help her with her homework anymore or

not

come on mark you are a master in the

university what are you saying

you know i’m a master in social science

only teaching a kid is different from

teaching university students though we

must have a suited method with a kid

so what should we do

you’re always home with her i think you

should take the time to help her with

her homework

you don’t know how to teach her but i

ever had never done it before

so why did you tell me to do it i’m

afraid that even my knowledge is not

correct

emma knowledge is just one part her

behavior and attitudes are quite

important as well i think we need to

figure out which way is the best

do you think we should go meet her

teacher

for what come on emma one teacher will

have to take responsibility for three to

five classes

they don’t have time to focus on only in

so what should we do

you need to find out one solution not

only deny all of my opinions

what do you think about joining some

workshops or classes to learn effective

ways

does it work

maybe i’m not sure but we can try

i will look it up on the internet

my colleague just sent me some i will

forward you maybe we should take part

together

perfect i’m having a look now

saturday or sunday better for you

sunday i think

whatever

what time

what time does the first

class begin sophie

half past 12.

so i’ll pick you up at 10 past 12.

that’s fine

sophie this evening one of my friends is

holding a party and do you want to go

with me okay

but i don’t know anyone

that’s no problem you can make

acquaintances with them gradually

okay so what time do we go there

the party starts at 8pm so i think we

can go to my friend’s house at a quarter

past seven

do you want to

buy some new clothes or dresses for the

party

sounds good if so we have to go by five

o’clock

hour and a half

no problem

i also have lots of things to do at home

after school

how long

about 30 or 40 minutes

so let’s meet at the park near your

that’s right

[Music]

decorating the room

interior decoration is an extremely

interesting topic in daily life

everyone has a passion for decorating

their own house

let’s watch the video to see

conversations about interior decoration

situation one decorate a new apartment

sophia the new apartment will be

available in a month i think it’s time

for us to discuss the interior design

joe i was going to tell you these days i

have been looking at many different

designs online

here are some styles i feel interested

okay show me what you’ve got

so this is a modern style with kind of

white plain walls a darker color tone

for furniture

and a lot of glasses and marble flooring

to be honest it looks great i love

simplicity however we plan to have a

baby in the near future

so do you think we should try something

a little bit softer

you were right

how about this traditional style with a

neutral color tone with floral patterns

looks a bit old-fashioned to me

you like this style don’t you um not

really i just like the cozy feeling

so do i i prefer something that makes me

feel at home

any other options that are both modern

and cozy

yes this one

what do you think it still looks simple

and modern but a lot cozier with a

warmer color

light gray or

brownie is trending this year

i like this one especially the wooden

flooring

we can use it for bedrooms very

affordable i want to have carpet in the

living room

alright how about the kitchen

i want material that is easy to clean

and waterproof

right how about the color i’m into brown

or beige colors like this one

me too in short our taste is modern but

cozy

neutral brown beige tone

then i think wooden furniture will be an

excellent match

sure i will note it down

we will discuss a detailed design

tomorrow okay

yes i will do more research

situation 2 decorating the room for a

baby girl

[Music]

hi anna how are you

hi kate i’m great and you come in

are you back from work just now

i’m good and yes i haven’t seen you for

months too busy with the new job

[Music]

today i remember that you will be in

labor in over a month so i tried to

leave work early today to visit you

so nice of you

come and take a sit

don’t mind my messy place we are

redecorating a bedroom for my little one

oh really how is it going

it must be the cutest room in the house

we have just started recently

how was your plan for the baby girls

room

we always like minimalism you know

so the room style will match with other

rooms also

three walls are light brown and one wall

is white

the floor will be covered with beige

carpet and a white fur rug

nice that’s very modern and cute at the

same time

what are there in the room i can see the

crib over there

i try to only put necessary kinds of

stuff

there will be a crib a medium-sized

wardrobe for clothes and a small cabinet

for things like diapers or little things

for the baby all in white

wait you mentioned one white wall before

that right

why only one

good question

i intended to put a huge wooden shelf

that has the size of the whole wall

what is it for

for children’s books and toys and for

decorating purposes also i think books

and toys are very colorful so they will

be stand out on the white wall

very unique idea

my friends usually spend the wall on

cute stickers

i also decorate other walls with cute

pictures of animals

but also in a minimalism style

ah i forgot to mention a chair that’s

all

have you bought all those furniture

yes i have not many though the only

thing that takes time is painting in the

big shelf

sounds like a very lovely room remember

to send me a photo when you finish the

room

sure i will

do you remember me

meeting each other again after a long

separation is an indescribable feeling

for each person let’s watch this video

and see what people say to each other

i want to be a teacher in the future too

but i don’t study well i feel so sad

don’t worry jess you are still too young

you have a lot of time to make an effort

to be a teacher

never give up i always believe you jess

so jess can you tell us about your card

it’s the engineer

sorry teacher i don’t know too much

about this job

it’s okay jess who can help just

describe this occupation

ben please

yes teacher

an engineer will design build or

maintain engines machines roads and so

i think they work quite hard and they

are strong

are there any other opinions

do you think that almost all engineers

are male because this occupation

requires a lot of strength

it’s right tim you are so intelligent

let me introduce you to my job

okay kevin what’s your job please

my career is an architect an architect

is a person who designs beautiful houses

all architects have a knack for art i’m

a big fan of architects because they

work as real artists

you’re right kevin but i want to add

some information about this job for you

not only drawing well but architects are

also very creative they are able to

design luxury houses for wealthy people

okay that is also the final card but i

feel you are still excited about this

topic

who wants to talk about your dream

career

tim please

i love to play soccer with my friend so

i want to become a soccer player

so what do you do to follow your dream

i think that a soccer player needs to

have good health and special skills

hence i will do exercise every day and

improve my soccer skills regularly

that’s a good idea tim i hope you can be

a superstar

kevin what do you want to do when you’re

an adult

i want to be a scientist

i want to research everything

surrounding us and learn more useful

knowledge for myself

to do that i need to study well and read

many books

by the way i also like reading books too

very good kevin

when i was a child i wanted to become a

scientist like you

now class are there any jobs that you

want to explore

can you describe a waiter teacher

of course kevin

when you go to a restaurant or cafe you

will be served by some people called

waiters

they will ask you for the food or drink

you want to have and bring them out for

you

as you may know most of the waiters are

young people they do it to earn a little

money to pay for their daily fee

thank you teacher

could you please talk about farmers i

want to know more about them

could you speak louder jess i’m so sorry

but i don’t hear what you said correctly

i ask you to talk about what farmers

work for every day

hmm

let me see

i think that farmers have to do a lot of

things during the day

in the morning they get up early and

start their work day by feeding the

animals

farmers often feed chickens ducks sheep

rabbits cows and so on

after that they water their trees

it may take them a lot of time and

energy

when the fruit is ripe they will harvest

it and sell it to the merchants

similarly they will sell the animals

when they grow up

besides farmers have to protect their

plants from bad weather it seems to be a

difficult task for them

this is some information about farmers

daily life

thank you teacher

who has any questions for me about jobs

no we don’t

okay our lesson ends here

please remember to do your homework i’ll

check it in the next day

now you can go home

goodbye

bye see you next time

[Music]

at the hair salon

having haircut and nails done is always

a favorite of the majority of women

let’s watch the video to see some

conversations in a hair salon

situation one how to stop hair loss

[Music]

hi julia

long time no see

how are you hey stella i’m good

how are you doing

i’m great

what would you like to have done today

i would like to have my hair cut and my

nails

done let me take care of your hair first

please take a seat here

okay

how would you like your haircut

just a bit shorter

to get my split ends fixed

how much would you like to be taken off

how about

this much

two inches

okay sounds great

your hair seems a bit thin

i remember it was thicker before wasn’t

you’re right

i’ve been losing a lot of hair lately

any reason for that

maybe it’s because i’m so stressed and

lack of sleep

stella

you’re a hair expert do you have any

idea about how to reduce hair loss

well

obviously first thing is to de-stress

other than that you should not brush

your hair while it’s wet

avoid rubbing your hair dry with a towel

just let it dry naturally

you can try to use biotin shampoo or

take some vitamins to help your hair

grow quicker

those are basic kinds of stuff

thanks a lot stella i will try

[Music]

okay your hair is done

how does it look

great as usual

okay

please move to the nail room

what would you like to do with your

nails today

may i have a manicure with short nails

and a round shape

sure which colors or any particular

pattern would you like

this one looks refreshing

brilliant choice

done

how do you feel

it looks amazing stella

my pleasure

i’m glad you’re satisfied with it

situation two

having hair dyed

[Music]

how are you

how may i help you today

hi i’m great thank you

i would like to have my hair dyed

which color would you like

i’m not sure

could you suggest a color that matches

my medium skin tone

sure in that case

i think honey brown and blonde balayage

will fit you best

can you show me a photo of that hair

color

sure

this is a photo from one of my customers

wow her hair looks stunning i love that

brown color fading into buttery blonde

tones

let’s do this

[Music]

however

since your hair has a dark color and

balayage requires lightening

i will need to have some part of your

hair bleached is that okay

is it bad for my hair

the bleach part will be drier

however

consider that you have pretty strong

hair i think it’s okay as long as you

can take care of your hair well

anyway i will apply conditioner

treatment on your hair after everything

is done to protect it

do you have any hair care products

yes we have

i will introduce them and guide you on

how to care for your hair later

is that okay

sure let’s do it

okay please come over here

is water okay for you

yes it is thanks

by the way your skin looks glowing and

so healthy

do you have any tips for skin care

thanks for your compliment

i have to say mainly because i drink a

lot of water and put on sunscreen every

day

oh really that’s simple

right

but not many people remember to drink

enough water

other than that i always put on body

lotion after a shower

and sleep early

okay i got it now

thanks for your tips

[Music]

get a wavy haircut

[Music]

welcome how may i help you

hi i would like to get a haircut

okay

please have a seat

here’s your water

okay thank

you how would you like your haircut do

you have any preference yet

not sure i have had long hair for quite

some time

maybe i would like short hair

however i’m not sure if it fits my face

my face is a bit round

no worry there are a lot of short

hairstyles which can be suitable for

your face type

let me show you some styles to see which

one you prefer

okay

about the length you better have

shoulder length hair

shorter than that will make your face

look bigger

would you like curly or do you prefer

straight hair

curly ones look great though

do you think so like this one

yes this is a long bomb style with wavy

hair

it suits you even more because your hair

is a bit thin

your hair will look bouncy with curly

hair and your face will look smaller as

well

that sounds exactly what i want

okay let’s do this

i will go prepare for a bit please

wait for me for a few minutes

okay no problem

thank you

[Music]

fix the nail

[Music]

hi welcome

how may i help you today

hi i’m julie i have an appointment to

fix my nail today at 5 pm

let me check

all right miss miley will take care of

you

please

go this way

miss miley

that you have a broken nail don’t you

yes finally i can meet you

i need to have it fixed

i’ve had that broken nail for a few days

but i was on a business trip

okay

let me fix that for you

what happened did you get hurt

oh it’s okay

i was in a hurry banging my finger on

the edge of a door

luckily no bleeding

well

i’m glad to hear that you didn’t get

hurt but it must be uncomfortable right

not really but you know me i’m a

perfectionist

i can’t stand having a broken nail

okay

please take a seat here

could i have my hair washed and massaged

first

i’m a bit tired after the trip

i came straight here after coming back

from work

i think i need to relax first

sure then please move to the shampoo

station first

okay

[Music]

herbs and spices

linda and jane are learning about herbs

and spices for cooking and healthcare in

daily life

watch the video and learn the name of

herbs and spices they mention

situation one

favorite herbs and spices

hi linda what are you doing

hi jane i’m cooking for lunch

oh wow i see you have a lot of thyme

what will you do with them

these are my favorite herbs when cooking

whenever i make something especially

bake or stew something surely i use it

that sounds good

do you like herbs for cooking

um not really to be honest i find them

quite hard to mix with ingredients

really

i think it’s quite interesting it boosts

the taste and smell of the dish greatly

i thought so too and i tried

maybe i mixed the ingredients together

the wrong way

it was pretty bad

i don’t think i’m good at cooking

each herb or spice is suitable for each

particular dish if you mix it wrong the

taste will be difficult to eat

for example

thyme my favorite one it is especially

suitable for dishes that will require a

long cooking time such as baking or

stewing

it will create an aroma like a

combination of sweet and a little spicy

oh i had no idea about that

what ingredients will you cook with them

there are a lot of things such as

carrots potatoes tomatoes beef chicken

lamb onion

amazing

yes i also love some peppermill on the

stew it smells really good

ah i tried it pretty good

absolutely

peppermill will make your dishes better

because it has a special spicy taste not

too strong

people who can’t eat spicy food can also

try it

great you are very knowledgeable about

cooking

hey it’s my hobby

situation 2

buy ingredients in the supermarket

[Music]

hi jane long time no see

hi linda what are you doing here

i’m buying some ingredients to prepare

to make a beef steak for dinner

my dad really loves it but this is the

first time i tried to make it on my own

that sounds really good so what have you

bought

not much i just have beef sugar and

what is that

uh salt

oh i don’t know how to make it

i think it’s quite easy i’ve learned the

recipe on the internet

the most important thing is having

enough ingredients including herbs and

spices

amazing so what are they

beef of course

yeah i know

and sugar salt chili powder garlic

powder onion powder and

turmeric

oh my god a lot of things

yes

is that enough

you also need fresh herbs

fresh herbs what are they

they taste best when sprinkled over meat

just before serving

they taste fantastic with steak burgers

and any grilled beef

that sounds great

so what kinds of them we need

chives basil

coriander

parsley

what do you need them for

well they are marinated with beef to

make the flavor more fragrant

how about thyme i’ve heard beef steak

can’t taste good if it doesn’t have it

that’s right i am finding them

here

so many things

i think it’s enough

other things i already have at home

ah i forgot cinnamon

it really takes a lot of time to prepare

the ingredients

but cooking the dish is quite easy

okay

when we have free time can you teach me

to cook it

sure

thanks

i forgot

okay

i’ll try to get higher points

there’s a note below the statue

statue of venus milo french is venus de

the statue is about 80 inches high

this statue is so tall

it’s so luxurious

i love that chandelier

these are some rooms in the apartments

of napoleon iii

wow

deluxe dining room deluxe living room

deluxe toilet truly amazing bedroom

[Music]

let’s go to the painting area

okay

sarah stop and look at her

mona lisa

tell me about her

it’s an oil painting by artist leonardo

da vinci

it has been believed to have been

painted between 1503 and 1506

the mona lisa is now one of the most

valuable paintings in the world

how much sarah

it holds the guinness world record for

the highest known insurance evaluation

in history at 100 million dollars in

[Music]

i guess it must be more expensive now

who is mona lisa

is she real or is she a character

the model is lisa de giacondo

she was a member of the garadini family

and the wife of a wealthy silk merchant

i heard mona lisa was stolen many times

yes it was stolen in 1911 by a louvre

employee

during the second world war the painting

was stolen again

[Music]

now mona lisa is owned by the french

government and now she’s here

yes the lower part of the painting was

damaged when a person poured acid on it

and a young man threw a stone at it

how could they treat a painting like

that

i don’t know

maybe because it’s so famous

today the mona lisa is considered the

most famous painting in the world

a destination painting

when you’re too famous there will always

be two forces around you fans and

anti-fans

so are paintings so are people

mona lisa created controversy for a

while

i heard about that

looking into her eyes you’ll see a lot

of joy

optimism

love of life

but looking at her mouth and lips

it seems she’s strangely serious

but also smiling

it’s a mystery

how do you feel

i don’t know

what do you see in this painting

you come here to meet her like this

tell me something about her

you want to hear from me

yes of course

i see a lovely chubby lady her eyebrows

are a bit pale with no lipstick

i guess she forgot to put on mascara and

no makeup before drawing

you’re so funny i think in the past

girls didn’t wear much makeup

her hands are cute she is the lady of a

rich family who’s pampered

in short

i see a gentle and beautiful woman

so funny

art is not what you see but what you

make others see

edgar dega a french artist said

yeah

i think it depends on the viewers visual

feelings

[Music]

thanks for sharing information about

this museum

[Music]

let’s come back to visit the museum

together on wednesday or friday

to see the museum at night

okay it sure looks magical

how many points do you give me
