英语口语练习|Take challenges

英语学习也是一个循序渐进的过程。同样我们会面临对自我能力的挑战，面对未知问题的挑战。今天我们来谈一谈如何通过学习和接受挑战来让我们成为更好的人，获得更愉快的人生体验。

我们在口语练习群邀请了一位母语为英语的朋友来给大家做口语会话，平时没机会和外国人直接对话或者觉得自己水平还浅不敢说的小伙伴都可以通过这个方式来练习。

群里日常会安排一些与我们生活密切相关的内容的主题讨论，从英文阅读材料的编辑，到具体关键词的讲解，再到文中一些知识点的拓展均会有涉及。通过我们精心设计的练习课程，大家可以在非常短的时间内获得英语口语的极大锻炼和提升。

下面是我们将展开讨论的英语文章片断，重点标记部分将是我们口语练习的句式，同时会对内容进行扩展练习，所以大家可以仔细阅读文章的内容并熟悉重点单词，在随后的练习中我们将和外国朋友一起就文章的主要观点展开讨论

Today we will talk about how to make things better.

Take challenges

Most of us like challenges, so take up a challenge likevolunteeringyourself for a new project. Give your 100 % to the project. Work hard but take a few short breaks for refreshing yourself. Don't get discouraged if the project doesn't turn out to be as you expected. Try your hands on second one and work more hard. Focus on quality of work. Quality of the work is of utmost importance as it reflects on your capability.

Ask for help

Also, show an interest andinclination [ˌɪn.klɪˈneɪ.ʃən]to help your co-worker and support your supervisor for attaining your team’s goal. Importantly, try to be in the company of positive colleagues, and stay away from those whoindulge [ɪnˈdʌldʒ]ingossiping。
