【Elephant English】二手替代新品 | Buying second hand

today we're going to be talking about buying secondhand items because i think it's quite an interesting topic and it's something that is becoming more and more common every day so the most common way What are charity shops to buy secondhand items in the past was in charity shops which are called thrift stores in the united states charity shops are shops where second-hand closed books pieces of furniture and other items are sold in order to raise money for a specific cause some of the charities raise money for the elderly or for research such as age uk british heart foundation and cancer research uk whereas others collect funds for animal shelters for example normally people donate the things that they no longer want to or use so that the charity shop can resell the products according to the charity retail Statistics association there are more than 11 000 charity shops in the uk and over 180 000 people volunteer to keep these shops running these shops are quite high if we compare them to those of other countries and if you've ever been to the uk you would have seen a lot of them on the high stream so you won't be surprised when i tell you that 3.6 of retail units in the uk are charity shops Affordable one of the main reasons why people buy second-hand items is because it's much more affordable if we compare it to buying brand new products the average price of a clothed thing item in a british charity shop is three pounds 90 for women and four pounds for men in euros that's 450 for women and 460 for men i'm not sure about the prices of clothes where you live but in europe the cheapest plain and simple t-shirt in a standard clothes shop is normally around six euros so it works out a lot cheaper to buy secondhand items Protect the planet another reason why people choose to buy second-hand products is because they want to protect the planet according to the charity retail association british charity shops saved 339 000 tons from being disposed of which means thrown away in 2018 and 2019. so if people hadn't donated these items all of it would have been incinerated or sent to a landfill plus not only would we lose all those products if people didn't buy second hand we would also have made others buy brand new products so in the end we would use double the amount of resources and we would also be polluting our planet even more by adding to landfills Online secondhand shops nowadays there are also online secondhand shops like ebay depop vinted gumtree or even facebook marketplace the main difference between charity shops and these websites or apps is that individual sellers can advertise their products and the money that is earned from the sales goes to the seller not to a charity this way of buying and selling has become quite popular because you can get rid of the things that you no longer need or use and you can also get some money from it Variety one of the aspects that i most like about apps like vintage or depop is that there is a lot of variety as people from all over europe can sell their products on on the same platform i've bought quite a few dresses and blouses from people from other countries and the postage costs aren't too bad as it normally costs around four euros or five euros to send it How to sell if you're selling something and somebody buys your product on one of these platforms uh the only thing that you have to do is to print the label stick it onto the parcel and take it to a local pickup point so this can be hairdressers a shop or even a chemist then when the parcel arrives at its destination the buyer receives an email telling them that it's available to be collected so it's very straightforward process and it has the advantage of offering a wider variety of products and styles if we compare it to charity shops or even standard clothes shops because a lot of the times when i go to a clothes shop i'm looking for something and i can never find it but when i look on vintage for example or gumtree or depop you can filter by color by size and by condition Conclusion so today we have talked about the benefits of buying second-hand items instead of buying brand new ones i know that some people despite it being so popular and beneficial for everyone and the planet still think that buying second-hand products is for poor people or they just think it's disgusting and dirty but i truly believe that you can save a lot of money while still getting the same quality of product and also protect the environment at the same time so what do you think do you think that buying second-hand products is a good idea or do you think that if you can afford it and if you can buy it brand new you should buy things brand new or so have you ever bought anything secondhand so please let me know

【Radio Headspace】和自己做朋友 | Befriend Yourself | 英文博客 | 听力练习

hi everyone it's Rosie welcome to radioheadspace and to Tuesday today we're continuing our exploration of self-compassion and I want to share a very personal my journey as a first time author because really what better way to understand self-compassion than the roller coaster ride of writing a book when I set out to write my book I was brimming with ideas and enthusiasm but soon reality hit the self-doubt the fear of rejection the pressure to create something meaningful it was all there staring me dead in the face and that's our focal point for today how do we embrace self-compassion when we're pushing our boundaries when we most likely won't get it right on the first try something that's helped me during those times is befriending myself befriending ourselves is so important because our thoughts mostly go unchecked we can say anything to ourselves at any time good or bad but when we tell a friend what we are feeling they speak kindly to us and through self compassion we can learn to do that for ourselves I sadly wasn't befriending myself when I wrote that first book at times I stared at a blank page the cursor blinking back at me mirroring my insecurities I questioned my abilities and my worthiness which brings me to the day I received the first draft of my manuscript I opened the email expecting constructive feedback and suggestions but what I saw shattered my confidence in an instant the document was marked up with red underlines as I scroll through the pages seeing the corrections and critiques from three different people I felt a wave of discouragement washed over me I questioned whether I had what it takes to be a writer whether my words are worthy of being shared with the world the inner critic grew louder and louder fueling myself doubt and making me question every sentence I had written so I did what I normally do when I get overwhelmed I went outside I listened to the birds took some deep breaths and walked it out in that moment self-compassion became my lifeline instead of succumbing to the weight of my insecurities I took a step back and gave myself a friendly reminder that writing is a process and a first draft is meant to be imperfect I acknowledged that I was in a vulnerable state and it was natural to feel shaken by the feedback I gave myself some time to see my editor's remarks not as a reflection of my worth as a writer but as an opportunity for growth and improvement and that's something we all can do give yourself grace whether it's a new role at work launching a business or finally getting to that passion project tell yourself that it's okay to have off days or to feel stuck these moments don't define your worth they are part of the journey and remember we can allow ourselves to feel disappointment and frustration but also hold space for self acceptance some things we can all do to put this into practice is developing what I call self-compassion rituals take walks to clear the mind journal to process your feelings and offer yourself the same love and support you would extend to a dear friend and yes that last part means that instead of beating yourself up you tell yourself that you're still worthy even saying I'm worthy can be a comfort and with practice we can learn to appreciate the process to love the perfectly imperfect journey of pushing our boundaries
