Beautiful message from Bill Gates
Subject:
What is the Corona/ Covid-19 Virus Really Teaching us?
I’m a strong believer that there is a spiritual purpose behind everything that happens, whether that is what we perceive as being good or being bad.
As I meditate upon this, I want to share with you what I feel the Corona/ Covid-19 virus is really doing to us:
1) It is reminding us that we are all equal, regardless of our culture, religion, occupation, financial situation or how famous we are.
This disease treats us all equally, perhaps we should to. If you don’t believe me,
just ask Tom Hanks.
2) It is reminding us that we are all connected and something that affects one person has an effect on another. It is reminding us that the false borders that we have put up have little value as this virus does not need a passport.
It is reminding us, by oppressing us for a short time, of those in this world whose whole life is spent in oppression.
3) It is reminding us of how precious our health is and how we have moved to neglect it through eating nutrient poor manufactured food and drinking water that is contaminated with chemicals upon chemicals. If we don’t look after our health, we will, of course, get sick.
4) It is reminding us of the shortness of life and of what is most important for us to do, which is to help each other, especially those who are old or sick. Our purpose is not to buy toilet roll.
5) It is reminding us of how materialistic our society has become and how, when in times of difficulty, we remember that it’s the essentials that we need (food, water, medicine)
as opposed to the luxuries that we sometimes unnecessarily give value to.
6) It is reminding us of how important our family and home life is and how much we have neglected this.
It is forcing us back into our houses so we can rebuild them into our home and
to strengthen our family unit.
7) It is reminding us that our true work is not our job, that is what we do, not what we were created to do.
Our true work is to look after each other, to protect each other and to be of benefit to one another.
8) It is reminding us to keep our egos in check.
It is reminding us that no matter how great we think we are or how great others think we are,
a virus can bring our world to a standstill.
9) It is reminding us that the power of freewill is in our hands. We can choose to cooperate and help each other, to share, to give, to help and to support each other or we can choose to be selfish, to hoard, to look after
only our self. Indeed, it is difficulties that bring out our true colors.
10) It is reminding us that we can be patient, or we can panic. We can either understand that this type of situation has happened many times before in history and will pass, or we can panic and see it as the end of the world and, consequently, cause ourselves more harm than good.
11) It is reminding us that this can either be an end or a new beginning.
This can be a time of reflection and understanding, where we learn from our mistakes, or it can be the start of a cycle which will continue until we finally learn the lesson we are meant to.
12) It is reminding us that this Earth is sick. It is reminding us that we need to look at the rate of deforestation just as urgently as we look at the speed at which toilet rolls are disappearing off of shelves. We are sick because our home is sick.
13) It is reminding us that after every difficulty, there is always ease. Life is cyclical, and this is just a phase in this great cycle. We do not need to panic; this too shall pass.
14) Whereas many see the Corona/ Covid-19 virus as a great disaster, I prefer to see it as a great corrector
It is sent to remind us of the important lessons that we seem to have forgotten and it is up to us if we will learn them or not.

你是怎样将词汇量提升到2万以上的？
在知乎上看到了这个一样问题：“你是如何将词汇量提升到 2 万，甚至 3 万的？”觉得这个问题非常有意思，写了一篇答案，分享给大家。 在写这篇文章之前我特地跑到www.testyourvocab.com 上面测了测词汇量，结果大约是： 在某国产应用上测得的结果是： 词汇量应该算是有两万以上，说一说我是怎么做的。 在继续写下去之前，我们先来确定一件事情：我们究竟需要多大的词汇量？ 不是六七千，不是八九千，也不是一两万，而是：越大越好。是的，两三万算凑合，四五万也不嫌多。著名的词汇量测试网站 www.testyourvocab.com…

testyourvocab.com是目前比较知名的一个词汇量测试网站，网站的操作流程很简单，测试时需要勾选自己认识的单词，不认识的单词不要选，单词见过但不记得意思也不要选。网站一共给出两个测试单词表，难度逐渐增加。第一个词汇表里面基本都是日常词汇，第二个词汇表难度要高很多，出现了不少GRE单词。测试的时候一定要对自己诚实，不要选自己不认识的词（网站有时候会给出一些假词，如果有测试者勾选就证明作弊，最后得分会降低）。跟其他同类网站相比，testyourbocab.com的算法比较科学，得到的结果较为接近测试者的真实水平。美中不足的一点是它无法测试用户对单词的掌握程度。认识一个单词和能够自如应用一个单词是完全不同的概念，对于写作和口语来说，提高积极词汇数才是关键。
arealme.com是国外一个语言水平测试网站，提供英语语法、词汇量以及综合英语水平测试。网站测试词汇量时采用的是同义词/反义词形式，需要测试者在几个备选项中选出单词的同义词或反义词，一共有50道题，难度逐渐增加。这一词汇测试方法比起testyourbocab.com要更为严格，能够比较好地减少作弊的情况。
oxfordonlineenglish.com是国外一个语言培训网站，词汇量测试是该网站上的一个功能。跟上面两个网站不同，oxfordonlineenglish.com并没有直接给出具体的词汇量数值，而是词汇水平等级。网站将词汇测试结果按照欧洲共同语言参考标准（CEFR）由低到高分为A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2 这6个等级。网站测试题采用的是选择题，一共有40道题。题目内容比较灵活 #词汇测试

每个人都值得拥有几本好词典
在英语学习中，好的工具能够提高学习兴趣和效率，而英英词典就属于这样的工具。我这几年用的比较多的是电子词典，所以今天我想写这篇文章介绍一下手机和电脑上常用的英英词典的特点以及使用技巧。 关于电子词典 目前在手机（电脑）上用的比较多的有两种，一种是词典app，各大词典出版公司会将词典做成一个个单独的app，我们在苹果的App Store 或者安卓的 Google Play上面就可以找到它们，比如下面这几款： 另一种叫开源词典，这种词典本身并不提供词典库，也就是说，我们下载完词典应用后还必须另外下载各种词典包…
