我們就像漫畫中的原始人，
每天二十四小時不停的新聞，
新聞裡大多都是不好的消息，
很容易讓我們覺得不知道怎麼應對，
有時候我們需要休息一下，
提醒自己世界上還是有很多美好的事物，
除了玩 (Sudoku - 數獨) 之外，
整理花園、聽音樂、或是讀一本好書都可以幫忙放鬆身心。
Wǒmen jiù xiàng mànhuà zhōng de yuánshǐ rén,
měitiān èrshísì xiǎoshí bù tíng de xīnwén,
xīnwén lǐ dàduō dōu shì bù hǎo de xiāoxī,
hěn róngyì ràng wǒmen juédé bù zhīdào zěnme yìngduì,
yǒu shíhòu wǒmen xūyào xiūxí yīxià,
tíxǐng zìjǐ shìjiè shàng háishì yǒu hěnduō měihǎo de shìwù,

zhěnglǐ huāyuán, tīng yīnyuè, huòshì dú yī běn hǎo shū
dōu kěyǐ bāngmáng fàngsōng shēnxīn.

We are like the cavemen in the comic.

There is an endless stream of news and most of it is bad news.

It is easy to feel overwhelmed.

Sometimes we need to take a break.

There are many good things in the world.

In addition to playing Sudoku, tending the garden, listening to music, or reading a good book can help us unwind.

We are going to have "Speech Contest" - using this comic strip to express anything in your thought.

漫畫說：“新聞太多了。為 (Sudoku - shùdú) 留出空間。

Mànhuà shuō:“Xīnwén tài duōle. Wéi (Sudoku - shùdokú) liú chū kōngjiān.

The comic says: "Too much news. Make room for Sudoku.

寫至少5句話，至少講一分鐘，以講演漫畫中的講話. - 對話 - Teacher's correction

Xiě zhìshǎo 5 jù huà, zhìshǎo jiǎng yī fēnzhōng, yǐ jiǎngyǎn mànhuà zhōng de jiǎnghuà

Write at least 5 sentences and speak for at least one minute about the dialogues in the comics

這個漫畫很重要地提醒我，我應該花更多的時間來主動地使用自己的思想，而不是被動地吸收信息。

Zhège mànhuà hěn zhòngyào dì tíxǐng wǒ, wǒ yīnggāi huā gèng duō de shíjiān lái zhǔdòng dì shǐyòng zìjǐ de sīxiǎng, ér bùshì bèidòng dì xīshōu xìnxī.

This cartoon reminds me very importantly that I should spend more time actively using my thoughts instead of passively absorbing information.

特別是當我很忙時，安靜地度過時間很重要。我可以利用這段時間來反思人生中真正重要的事情。

Tèbié shì dāng wǒ hěn máng shí, ānjìng de dùguò shíjiān hěn zhòngyào. Wǒ kěyǐ lìyòng zhè duàn shíjiān lái fǎnsī rénshēng zhōng zhēnzhèng zhòngyào de shìqíng.

Especially when I am very busy, it is important to spend time quietly. I can use this time to reflect on the really important things in life.

當我反思時，我喜歡走在一個安靜而美麗的地方。

Dāng wǒ fǎnsī shí, wǒ xǐhuān zǒu zài yīgè ānjìng ér měilì dì dìfāng.

When I reflect, I like to walk in a quiet and beautiful place.

我喜歡走在我家附近的外面，因為那裡有許多花草樹木。

Wǒ xǐhuān zǒu zài wǒjiā fùjìn de wàimiàn, yīnwèi nàlǐ yǒu xǔduō huācǎo shùmù.

I like to walk outside near my house because there are many flowers and trees there.

當我花時間在外面散步時，我不會感到焦慮。當我花很多時間聽新聞時，我感到非常焦慮。

Dāng wǒ huā shíjiān zài wàimiàn sànbù shí, wǒ bù huì gǎndào jiāolǜ. Dāng wǒ huā hěnduō shíjiān tīng xīnwén shí, wǒ gǎndào fēicháng jiāolǜ.

When I spend time walking outside, I don’t feel anxious. When I spend a lot of time listening to the news, I feel very anxious.

下雨時，我可以花時間閱讀與工作無關的書，小睡或祈禱。

Xià yǔ shí, wǒ kěyǐ huā shíjiān yuèdú yǔ gōngzuò wúguān de shū, xiǎoshuì huò qídǎo.

When it rains, I can spend time reading books not related to work, taking naps or praying.

最後，我想提醒自己將更多的時間花在安靜的思考上，而不是聽或看新聞。這將使我的生活更少焦慮。

Zuìhòu, wǒ xiǎng tíxǐng zìjǐ jiāng gèng duō de shíjiān huā zài ānjìng de sīkǎo shàng, ér bùshì tīng huò kàn xīnwén. Zhè jiāng shǐ wǒ de shēnghuó gèng shǎo jiāolǜ.

Finally, I want to remind myself to spend more time thinking quietly instead of listening to or watching the news. This will make my life less anxious.
