W: Dr. Green, congratulations on the success of your new book! We learned that it has been translated into 30 languages--English, of cour, French, German, Japane, Chine, and so on.
M: Thanks, Helen.
W: Well, could you tell us what this popular book is about?
M: It's called In Prai of Slow : It' s about how the world got stuck in fast-forward, and how more and more people everywhere are slowing down. In other words, it's about the ri of the Slow Movement.
W: What is the Slow Movement?
M: It is a revolution against the idea that faster is always better. When I say "slow", I don't mean doing everything slowly. It's about doing everything as well as possible, instead of as fast as possible. It's about quality in everything we do.
W: When and where was this "slow" idea born?
M: It was born in the early 1990s in Italy. It began as the Slow Food Movement, which centered on food. More recently, "slow" has become popular worldwide.
W: Have we reached the point of trying to speed up something that cannot really be sped up?奇文共赏
M: Of cour. The Internet connects us in wonderful ways, but it also leads us into trying to hurry up relationships. So you find people online saying they have more than 4,000 friends. The very idea of friendship is not considered important. And we may be losing the ability to make friends. In Britain, a study found that in the past ten years, the number of children who say they have no best friend ro from under one in eight to nearly one in five!

Good morning, everyone. I' m plead to be here to give a talk. We're two brothers from Canada, and we've been living in Thailand for eight years. We noticed that most English lessons here in schools focus only on reading and writing, so a lot of people can't understand and speak well in English. And we'd like to do something about it. Our idea is simple: we want to teach people how to understand and speak English like a native speaker. Different from broadcast English programs, we design special fun English programs bad on the computer and u them to teach words and expressions we u i
n real life. We talk in a casual style on a number of interesting topics, and we share personal stories from our real lives. Now, we have over 200 units on our website. We make a new unit every week that you can listen to on your computer anytime you want. Our materials are from English movies, TV shows, and real-life conversations. We hope people will u the materials to practice every day. We are sure that your English will improve a lot.
