全英 | 如何看待阶段性友谊？

The value of friendship that won’t last forever

Today, I want to talk about something very personal: friendship, saying goodbye, and the question of whether it is still worth making new friends when we know that, one day, people may leave our lives.

When I learned that my friend would be leaving, I felt genuinely sad. I cried, and I started thinking about something that I had probably felt before but had never fully expressed: 

If people eventually move away, relationships change, and friends become less involved in our daily lives, what is the point of making new friends in the first place?

Should we avoid new friendships simply because they might not last forever?

Today, I want to explore this question through my own experience and, especially, through something my friend said to me that helped me see the situation differently.

Enjoy!

全英 | 非暴力沟通的四个步骤

Nonviolent Communication

Today, I want to talk about communication in a slightly different way.

Have you ever had an argument with someone and realised afterwards that the original problem was actually quite small? Maybe someone didn't reply to your message. 

The event itself may have been relatively simple, but somehow the conversation becomes much bigger and violent.

The book Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life introduces a framework built around four components:

Observation → Feeling → Need → Request.

It gives us a way to slow down a conversation and ask: What actually happened? What am I feeling? What do I need? And what am I asking for?

Today, I want to explore these four components and, more importantly, show you how you can actually use them in everyday conversations.

全英 | 如何停止过度思考？

How to stop overthinking?

Today’s topic is particularly personal for me: overthinking.

I have a tendency to think ahead. When something is uncertain, my mind naturally wants to fill in the missing information.

So today, I want to explore why this happens and, more importantly, what we can actually do when our thoughts begin running ahead of our lives.

Highlights:

What to Do When You Catch Yourself Overthinking

Step 1: Name the thought

Step 2: Write down facts vs. assumptions

Step 3: Identify one concrete action

Step 4: Set a “thinking boundary”

Step 5: deliberately redirect attention to the present

全英 | 如何设立边界？

How to set boundaries in relationship?

A healthy boundary is not about pushing people away. It is not about becoming cold, selfish, or independent to the point that you don't need anyone. 

A boundary is simply a way of saying: “This is where I am comfortable. This is what I can give. This is what I need. And this is how I want to participate in this relationship.”

Today, I want to explore what healthy boundaries actually mean, why they can be so difficult to set, how boundaries are different from walls, how to communicate them without feeling guilty, and what to do when other people don't like them.

全英 | 运动改造大脑

How doing sports makes us happy?

Today, I want to talk about something that has become an important part of my life: sports and exercise. 

We usually think about exercise as something we do to keep our bodies fit, but I've gradually realized that exercise can also change the way we think and feel. Sometimes, after a workout, I don't just feel physically tired. I feel mentally lighter, calmer, and refreshed. 

So today, I want to explore why moving our bodies can make us feel happier.

全英 | 优秀演讲者能否同时成为好作家？

Why great speakers aren't always great writers?

Today, I want to talk about something I’ve been thinking about for quite a while: Why Great Speakers Don't Always Make Great Writers.

And actually, this episode started with a very simple observation. I’ve met people who are incredibly interesting when they talk. They have so many ideas. They can tell stories, explain things, make connections, and make you want to keep listening. But when you ask them to write those ideas down, something changes. Suddenly, the ideas disappear. 

And this made me wonder: Why is that? If speaking and writing both use language, why can someone be good at one and struggle with the other?

Maybe we have been thinking about language ability in the wrong way. Maybe being a good speaker and being a good writer are not simply two levels of the same skill. Maybe they are two different ways of thinking.

And today, I want to explore that idea with you.

全英 | 人人都要学的“领导力”

You don't need to be a leader to build leadership

From March to July 2026, I participated in a leadership development programme. When I first enrolled, I had a very simple question. What does a leader look like?

In my mind, leadership belonged to people with titles—managers, CEOs, professors, directors —who were already in positions of authority. But after six workshops and four months of reflection, I realized something unexpected.

I had been asking the wrong question.mThe question was never, "How do leaders behave?". The better question was, "Who am I becoming?". Because leadership isn't something you suddenly receive when someone gives you a title.

Leadership is built long before anyone calls you a leader. Today I'd like to share six lessons that completely changed how I understand leadership.

全英 | 如何处理“冲突”

How to manage conflict in relationships

Today's topic is one that affects every one of us.

Conflict.

Whether it's with your partner, your parents, your friends, your colleagues, or even complete strangers, conflict is unavoidable. The question is not whether conflict will happen—it will. The real question is: what do we do when it happens?

Today, I want to share five mindset shifts that can completely change the way you navigate conflict. 

Let's begin.

全英 | 英语口语水平自我评估

Self-evaluation of your English speaking level

Hello everyone, and welcome back to the channel.

Many English learners spend years asking the same questions:

"Is my English good?"

"Am I intermediate or advanced?"

"Why can I understand English but still struggle to speak?"

"What should I improve next?"

Sometimes, people underestimate their ability because they compare themselves with native speakers. Sometimes, they overestimate their ability because they focus only on vocabulary or grammar.

But speaking ability is more complex than that.

Today, I want to introduce a practical framework to help you evaluate your English speaking level.

We will use the IELTS Speaking Band Descriptors as a reference, especially from Band 5 to Band 9, together with the CEFR levels from B1 to C2.

Thank you for listening.

And remember:

Your English improves when your awareness improves.

Understand where you are.

Understand where you want to go.

And take the next step.

I’ll see you in the next episode.

Enjoy!
