时尚口语： smell

Wity my large nose, I have fairly keen sense of smell. It's a blessing, and also a curse,

Since my nose tends to be more sensitive than the average person's. There are advantages and disadvantages.

For example, I am usually the first one to know when something delicious is around, I'm also the first person to know when something smelly is around, like a baby with unchanged diaper.

In the summmer, it seems like there is more to smell in general. I love the smell of cut grass, it reminds me of one of my first part-time jobs. It makes me think of my childhood. I really like the smell of fresh bread and pastries. I also enjoy the scent of flowers and some perfumes.

时尚口语：“No” Is a Hard Word to Say

Have you heard the Elton John song ”Sorry Seems To be The Hardest Word”? It’s a nice song, but…well, I disagree. Sure, saying “sorry” is not easy. But the small, itsy-bitsy, two-letter word “No” is more difficult to say.

If you think about it, you’ll probably agree.

For clarity, I know that the word “no” is easy to say when someone offers you some coffee and you already have some. You might say? “no thanks. I have some.”

But what if someone asks you to come to a party they are having and you really do’t want to go. It’s not as easy to say “No… but thanks anyway.”

When you have to refuse or decline and you don’t want to hurt someone’s feeling, you want to say “no,” but you end up saying something else… or even saying, “YES” because it’s easier to say.

You decline politely by saying…

“I’d love to, but I don’t have time”

Or

“ I wish I could, but I have to meet someone.”

Or

“Is that song, Hae Kyo…oh my to run!”

Just saying N-O “no” is tough.

时尚口语： hearing

Are you good at lip reading? It's not that easy, you should try it sometime. Turn off the volume of your television, and try to understand what is being said. If you are watching a slow drama, you can catch more of the dialogue. If you are watching the news, and people are speaking quickly, Gosh, it's tough enough listening to the news without volume up.

Trying to understand without hearing is almost impossible. But even if you are the world's best lip reader, if the person is not facing you, how can you understand what he is saying if you can't hear him?

Like most of our senses, I think we take our bility to hear for granted. I know I do.

the beautiful music we listen to everyday,

the verbal gratings we say,

the radio programs we hear everyday,
