每日英语听写 Day2

So, I’m not talking from the aspect->perspective of someone who has tons of tons of patience. I’m talking as someone who needs to improve in this area. So what are some different situations and->in which we need to be patient. That first one that comes to mind is when we are sitting in the->\ traffic. By the way, we use that phrase sitting in traffic when we talking about being in your car and in traffic is=>it's moving very slowly and sometimes is not moving at all. we said that you are sitting in the traffic.

So, this is the first situation that comes to mind when i think of patience, because it’s a very common occurence and for me it’s one of the most frustrating situations. I hate being in traffic. It’s one of the worst things. I’m sure a lot of you agree with me about this. So, if we’re not patient, then the traffic can really bother us, it can really annoying->annoy us and sometimes it can really ruining->ruin your day because you allow your mood to be negatively effected->affected by the affected,->fact that you have to wait the->in traffic, so this is someting that we want to avoid because we can’t control traffic. It’s completely outside of our controll. And if we get bothered by traffic, this doesn’t help us. Right? we can’t do anything to change the situdation to make the traffic suddenly go away. We have not control over that. So, I don’t think it’s worthy it to lose our patience, to lose our cool, and to get really angry when we get->are stuck in the traffic. Ther’s not benefit to that.

By the way, when we say that “lose your cool”, this means that you lose your patience and you snap you get mad you get really frustrated, right? So we don’t want to lose our cool just because traffic is bad.

So, that’s the first thing comes to my mind. Because I guilty at->of this sometimes when i’m stuck at->in traffic. I get frustrated and I let it affect my mood but I definately shouldn’t do this. So this why->that is one that I need to work on.

And->\ another situation that->in which we need patience is we when dealing with a difficult person. We are->have all being->been there. We all know how this it’s. By the way, when I say that we have all been there We I say->what i'm saying is we have all been in this situation. So we have all been there, we have all had to deal with a difficult person in some situation or another. And sometimes we'll->can lose our cool and we can allow this situation over->or this person to frustrate us to the point where we act differently. Do what we should do-> we don;t do what we should do. Or maybe we talk in a way that it isn’t the best. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. At sometimes, we have to deal with difficult people and it’s important to not let them bring us down to the level where we’ll get really mad for no good reason.

Right? sometimes we get angry with anoyther person for a legitimate reason, obviously. I’m not talking about that. I’m not talking about being angry with a person because they’ve done some horrible things->\. They’ve commited some weaked->wicked crime or something like that. That’s not what I’m refering to.

I’m refering the the situation where the->a person is just hard to deal with. and you need to be patient with them. So that can happen in the workplace that can happen just in public place->\ and stores with employees and->at certain companies and a lot situations. so dealing with this people requires patience and it’s good to act patiently in these situations because sometimes we are the difficult people sometime I’m the difficult person, or you’re the difficult person and other people have to deal with us. So I think we should be patient with people because sometimes we need people to be patient with us. So it goes both ways.

And another situation in which we need to be patient is listening to people. You might not think this is=>of this as a situation that requires patience but it does. because people talk and we should try to listen and sometimes people talk a lot or their store that they are telling takes a long time and you can get bored or you can get start to get distracted or you can stop listening, for example. and we sometimes lose patience when we have to listen to other people talk

because everybody likes->loves to talk about what they want to talk about. People like to be the ones to share things and talk about things but not everybody likes to listen. and that’s a more important skill is being able to listen when other people talk to you and that’s something we all should try to improve on and make sure that we’re patient and we’re listening to people. And we’re guiniuely->genuinely caring about what other people are talking->saying.

and if you do this you demonstrate patience in this situation. you gonna->are going to have good->better relationships. People are gonna->going to like you more. you gonna have fewer arguments maybe other people is gonna feel more cared about for example. and you'll’ have better communication overall. so I think that we should all practice with we->\ just being able to shut up our mouths and listen to other people speak. and->‘Or’ not just immediate talk and interrupt and say what we want to say. We should let other people finish before we start geting->giving our opinions about some thing for example. So that’s another situation.

Another time, we need to be patient is when we are learning a language. this’s very relavent to all of you and to me because I’m a language learner. Learning a language takes a long time. I constently get questions from people asking about their language process. and usually they practice->express frastration and->that they aren’t improving fast or they feel stuck or they feel like their progress is not what they want it to be they feel they have a problem. they ask me questions and they frame the questions kind of like things are->saying there is some thing wrong with them.

Why aren’t I improving what->how i should be. I have a problem with this what’s wrong with me. what should I be doing differently. I constantly get questions like that. And these are legitamate questions I not saying these are not good questions. However, what I want to say is the vast majority of time when people ask me these questions is not like these people are studying in a complete wrong way and they’re wasting their time and they need to completely change everything about their langugage learning routine. It’s not that. Usually, they are just advancing slowly and they don’t realize it , and they don’t realize how long it takes to learn a language. okay? let me give an example of my language learning process.

I’ve been speaking Spanish for over a decade. not a year or a couple of year not 5 years not eight years no. I’ve been speaking Spanish for over 10 years, over a decade now. okay? My wife is a Spanish speaker. She only speaks to me in Spanish, okay？ I lived in Mexico for 6 years. My whole life was in Spanish for 6 year.
