Biology classes really need to change. In the year 2025 we still have men who think women pee out of their vagina. We still have men who think women can 'hold in' their periods.

We still have women who think the 'pull out method' is a form of contraception. We still have women who think they need liposuction because their literal organs are in the correct place.

The school system literally gives me no hope for the future. At all.

[Intermediate Listening Resources]:  Chinese TV Show recommendations!

Hi all. Lately with the virus here in China I have been stuck inside studying. I am also been watching a few new shows in my spare time lately. Here are some of my favourite for intermediate-lower advanced listeners.

Firstly, where can you watch shows?

There are an abundance of places to watch shows, especially within China but you can often find shows on Youtube or on various C/K/J-drama sites outside (though if you can it’s best to watch with only Chinese subtitles). 

Tip: If you can’t understand everything, watch once with English subs, and re-watch again with Chinese subs only!

Anyway, on to my list, I have split these between TV series and reality shows:

TV Series

1. 都挺好

This is a story about family life and the burden children may feel of their parents, it reflects modern day Chinese social issues. I really enjoyed this drama

2. 亲爱的，热爱的

I have just started watching this one. It is a love story and the main character became really popular in China last year!

3. 欢乐颂

This is sometimes called the Sex and the City of China, its about working women in the city of Shanghai!

Variety/reality

1. 爱情保卫战

This is one of my favourites! It’s a talk show where two people go on to solve their romantic issues and four ‘experts’ give them advice. Its spoken in very natural Chinese and is very interesting to see people arguing about “He was looking at another girl” or “he has changed since we first met” haha! 

2. 非诚勿扰

This is the ‘Take me out’ of China, kinda... It’s essentially the same format without the crude jokes, tho. Sometimes they have foreigners on the show looking for love too.

3. 外国人在中国

This show is good for intermediates as there are foreigners speaking, the level is easier to understand in general and discusses basic things such as daily life. It also can give you a glimpse into people’s lives who are here studying too!

What are you favourite shows? Share them with us below!

30 days of productivity 6/30

motivation was lowwwwww today because I worked a 9.5 hour shift :( but I woke up earlier then usual and got shit done!

I’ve started reading French for fun rather than studying, and it’s awesome! Do I understand every word? No. Do I understand the plot? Not really. But am I learning new words and grammar? Absolutely. A month ago I couldn’t even understand a word but now I get the general idea and I’m excited!

Had an idea that at some point Adora gets split from Shera, but they are both into Catra. While she is just concerned among other things.

America: We really need teachers! Good ones, too!

People who wants to be teachers: I’d like to become a teacher! How do I become a teacher?

America: go to college, get a Bachelor’s degree at least, get thrown into terrible debt, do a lot of working for free, pay for all the things that an employer would typically pay for, like a background check, agree to be paid unfairly, continue to be required to give us many free hours of service, plus a whole bunch of other shit. And then, we MIGHT give you a job, bitch.

People who want to be teachers: fuck that, I am going into Computer Science.
