Main Body
Many people think they will be happy only after they finish a big project. This is a problem. They work too much and forget to rest. They want other people to say they are good.
許多人認為只有在完成一個大項目後才會感到快樂。這是一個問題。他們工作過度而忘記休息,並希望他人稱讚他們很優秀。
Some people feel very tired and sad. This is called burnout. It happens because they work more than their body can take. They cannot sleep and they feel angry.
有些人會感到非常疲憊且憂鬱。這被稱為「職業倦怠」。這是因為他們的工作量超過了身體的負荷,導致他們無法入睡且感到憤怒。
Marando says we need to relax. You can breathe slowly or walk in nature. You can also think about light or do one thing at a time. These things help the mind and body.
Marando 表示我們需要放鬆。你可以嘗試深呼吸或在大自然中散步。你也可以思考輕鬆的事物,或者一次只做一件事。這些方法有助於身心健康。

Vocabulary Learning
💡 The 'Can' Logic
In the text, we see how to talk about possibilities (things you are able to do). This is a key building block for A2 English.
The Pattern:
Subject + can + action
Examples from the text:
- You can breathe slowly.
- You can walk in nature.
- They cannot sleep.
Simple Rules:
- No 'to': We don't say
can to walk. Just saycan walk. - No 's': Even for one person, it stays the same. (He can, She can, It can).
- The Opposite: To say something is impossible, just add 'not'
cannot(or the short version:can't).
