The events are so vivid, as if they happened just moments ago. But her vivid memories often become a reality. Rebecca said, “When I relive

20、 memories, the emotions come back. So if its something that happened when I was younger, my emotions are about what I felt then. I also re-experience pain. For example, I remember falling over and hurting my left knee when I was three. When talking about it now, Im getting pain in my left knee.”Howe

21、ver, there are times when Rebeccas memories prove to be too over-whelming, and she has learnt relaxation and mindfulness (聚神) techniques to solve. “At school, it is a hindrance.

28、n due to her. Rare conditionCI recently heard someone who studies various languages say that he didnt care about learning the culture behind those languages. This is really surprising to me on many levels since not only is culture a major and inseparable part of “knowing” a language, it is also one

29、of the most enjoyable aspects of acquiring a new language and keeping yourself motivated. If you learn a language without learning its culture, then what you will end up with is the mere ability to function in the language as an outsider. Choosing not to learn about the country or countries where a

30、particular language is spoken not only robs you of the richness that knowing another language normally bring with it, but also makes it very difficult to appreciate the news or place current events in any meaningful context.
