《TED》Over It, My Battle With Anorexia(厭食症)

我在寫多益題時發現自己英國腔聽得滿吃力的,於是找了VOICE TUBE中的英國腔影片來看
主題是一個英國喜劇演員Dace Chawner在講他跟他的厭食症故事

✍️心得:
覺得他講很多笑話,畢竟他是喜劇演員
I think he talks in a very humorous way since he is a comedy.
但我比較想聽到更多與厭食症相關的細節,以及他之後怎麼get over it的
But I would like to hear more about the detail of he and his anorexia, and how he overcame it.
覺得整場演講的重點在於:讓人們對厭食症有點了解、不太逃避他、願意分享面對
I think the main point of this video lies in letting people understand what is Anorexia and no longer be afraid of discussing it. He wanted people to talk about it, and share their story without being awkward or cringed*.
不過也透過這影片學到滿多單字與文法的!
I learned a lot of vocabulary and grammar through this video anyway:)

📚一句話總結影片:
他利用喜劇演員的優勢,期盼改變人們對於心理健康的看法。
One Sentences to sum-up the video: He really wants to use the advantage of being a comedy order to help and in order to change how we see mental health.

😀我的一句話:
克服一個問題的第一步是:願意正視它、面對它、說出它,就像講者在影片中做的事。
The first step toward overcoming a problem is that you are willing to face it, to deal with it, to talk about it, just like the speaker did in the TED talk.

👉In the end, he said:
"I know this is something that I'm going to have for the rest of my life"
"but the real question is can I deal with it?"
"I can deal with it now because I can talk about it."
"I want to talk about it and show that it is nothing to be ashamed of"
