1.If you have no difficulty in understanding what native English speakers say in daily life,there is a whole new world of brilliant podcast (播客)series to explore.If you aren't sure where to start,have a look at these:
The Joc Rogan Experience ★★★★★
The Joc Rogan Experience is a great learning device because of its interesting English conversations between Rogan and his guests.At the time of writing there have been over 1,660 episodes with subjects ranging from comedy and science to politics and sports.Rogan is also a famous stand-up comedian,so the show is full of cultural references and idioms.This American Life ★★★★★
This American Life is a great choice for English learners who want an insight into the culture of the USA.It is a mixture of journalism and storytelling,focusing on real-life tales from citizens of all regions of the country.The stories are new and varied.One episode was taped for 24 hours in an all-night restaurant;another interviewed workers on strike.The Writer's Voice ★★★★☆
The New Yorker is a famous American magazine,and every week it prints a new short story.In this podcast,the week's story is read aloud by its writer.The published work covers a wide range of life experiences across the United States and beyond.It's a great way to enjoy some of the best new fiction in the country.Overheard at National Geographic ★★★★★
National Geographic is a much-loved American magazine (and TV channel)famous for incredible stories and photography related to science and the environment.Overheard is about the discussions Nat Geo employees have had while taking breaks.Expect crazy stories from explorers,photographers,and scientists from around the world.

2.Even with wonderful friends,family and a partner,I don't always want to be surrounded by people. "Table for one?Or will someone else be joining you?" A dinner reservation for one person never fails to raise a few eyebrows.I actively choose to spend time alone when possible.But not everyone has the luxury of choosing to be alone,of course.Many are forced into one-on-one time because they have no one.
But for those of us who spend our days surrounded by colleagues in the workplace,our evenings and weekends with family,friends and partners,all the while being constantly disturbed by Whats App,social media and email,time to ourselves can be a rare treat.Time to yourself not only gives you the chance to do practical things you don't normally get round to but also the activities your pals don't want to do.In a less real way,spending time alone also allows-or perhaps forces- you to sit with your own thoughts,to think about things that might normally be covered by conversation and the noise of companionship.When you're alone you get time to think without purpose.
It is worth noting that I'm a real introvert(性格內(nèi)向者),so perhaps sitting alone with my thoughts-refilling my energy reserves-might just be the personality that others don't have.But I believe more people could benefit from it.
Given this social belief since childhood that we should be surrounded by people ,it's no wonder many hesitate to press forward at the idea of spending time alone-a sign we've failed at climbing that social ladder.And if you're an extrovert who gets their energy from other people,this must be even harder.But as someone who has come to love spending time alone,even when there are many wonderful souls in my life I can spend time with,I wish more people would give solo a go.
Reservation for one,please.
