No matter how much I try to get motivated, I can’t. I feel horrible that I’m falling behind in my
career and business. I feel embarrassed to meet my friends because I don’t want to talk about
what I’m doing. I have applied to so many jobs to no avail （完全无用）and I don’t seem to be
putting enough effort into my business. I’m making very little money and falling deeper into debt.
What’s holding me back?
A few months ago, my friend, we’ll call him John, was going through a similar situation. John is in
his twenties, he’s super talented, really cute, really smart, but he was feeling lost in his life, and
he was embarrassed about it. He had been stuck in this same retail job for years, and he felt like
time was passing him by.
He got a new job, his relationship’s back on track.
When you’re stuck in a rut and embarrassed about your life, there are steps you can take to get
back on track.
No1: Be honest.
Most of us have the tendency to hide our true feelings and pretend that everything is okay. You
know how they say the truth will set you free?
Whenever you’re not honest with yourself, or others, you’re just gonna stay stuck. If you stick to
the facts and stay out of victim mode. Don’t lie, just say, “You know what, I’m going through a
really tough time right now.”
No2: Get out and be around people.
So even though he was going through a rough time, he did not bail on his social life.
fill up that calendar
Just being around people will help get you out of the rut.
No3: You have got to take action
And, get things done.
Call back a friend you’ve been meaning to talk to. Clean out a drawer, or maybe take up a class
you’ve been meaning to take forever. Start with one thing, even if you think it has no relevance to
the big life problem that you’ve trying to solve.

Talia Ryder: I think we are really lucky to be growing up in a time where young women especially
are being listened to and encouraged to speak their minds. And I think that’s something that
Sidney and I both wanna act upon because it hasn’t really been something that’s been available
to women in the past.

We live in a time where in a flash your message can be communicated to the far reaches of the
globe.

（语法小本本）
when 可以引导很多从句：
1.宾语从句：例如 I don`t know when he left here.我不知道他上面时候离开的.此时 when 作
连接词引导宾语从句.
2.定语从句：例如 He left his hometown in that year when his father died.他在他父亲死的那
一年离开了他的家乡.此时 when 作连词修饰 that year,引导定语从句.
3.状语从句：例如 He will go to the doctor`s when it is sunny.当天晴时,他就会去看医生.此时
when 引导状语,意思是“当...时候”.
4.主语从句：例如 When he left here is a question.他上面时候离开这儿的还没有人知道.此时
when 引导主语从句,意思是“什么时候”

that 可以引导名词性从句、定语从句，其具体用法如下：
一、that 引导名词性从句时（即主语、宾语、表语、同位语从句），在从句中无具体含义 ，
只起连接作用，而且在从句中也不作任何句子成分。它所引导的从句的句子结构和意义是
完整的，而且从句一般是陈述一个事实。例如： ① That she was able to come made us very
happy．她能来使我们很高兴。 ② The news that our team has won the match is true．我们
队赢了这场比赛的消息是真的。 ③ The reason he didn't come was that he was ill．他没来的
原因是他病了。
当 that 引导的主语从句或宾语从句太长时，常用 it 作形式主语或宾语而把 that 从句放在后
面。如： ① It is well—known that the earth is round．众所周知，地球是圆的。 ② We find
it necessary that we practise spoken English every day．我们发现每天练习英语口语很有必要。
that 引导的主语从句，表语从句以及同位语中，that 不能省略。
that 引导的宾语从句，一般可以省去 that，但在下面情况中不能省略。
1.在 suggest, order 等表示命令、请求、建议等动词后的宾语从句中，不能省。 2.由 and 或
but 所连接的两个引导的宾语从句时，第一个从句中的 that 可以省，第二个从句中的 that
不能省。 3.that 引导的宾语从句，如果从句中还有其他状语从句，引导宾语从句的 that 不
能省略。 Tell him that if he is at home, I’ll call to see him.
二、that 引导定语从句要注意以下几点：
1．定语从句中缺主语，修饰人时用 who ／that，修饰物时用 which ／that 引导。如： Is
this the factory which ／that makes TV sets？ The man who ／that visited our school is from
Australia．
2．从句中缺宾语，修饰人时用 who ／whom ／that 或省略引导词；修饰物时用 which ／
that 或省略引导词。如： Gone are the days which ／that we spent together in the village．
He is the man who ／whom ／that I think to be worthy of our praise．
3、用 that 不用 which 的七种情况： ①先行词前有形容词最高级或序数词修饰时，用 that
不 用 which 引 导 。 如 ： This is the best place that I have ever visited ． ② 先 行 词 为
little，much，all，none，few，（the）one， something，everything，nothing，anything 等
不定代词时，用 that 引导。如： There is nothing in the world that can frighten him． ③先行
词既有指人的名词又有指物的名词时，用 that 引导。如： He told us about the people and
the cities that he had visited ． ④先行词前有 any，all，no，few，every，some，little，
much，（the）very，（the）only，（the）last 等词修饰时，用 that 引导。如： This is the
very coat that I need． ⑤先行词为 which 时，为了避免重复，用 that 引导。如： Which is
the book that you bought yesterday？ ⑥先行词在从句中作表语时，常用 that 引导。如：
Shanghai is no longer the city that it used to be in the 1930's． ⑦当主句是 There be．．．句
型时，用 that 引导。 There are two tickets for the film that are for you two．

Where 引导从句分为引导定语从句 、状语从句 、名词性从句三种。

具体用法如下：

一、 where 引导定语从句

where 引导定语从句时，其先行词是表示地点的名词，它在定语从句中作地点状语，此时
where 相当于 at/in/on+which。如：

This zoo is not the only place where the animal can be seen. 这个动物园并不是唯一能够看到
这种动物的地方。

She’s got herself into a dangerous situation where she’s likely to lose her life. 她将自己置于了危
险的境地，而且很有可能丢掉性 命。

二、 where 引导状语从句

where 引导状语从句时，它相当于 in/at the place where。如： My father grew up where he

三、 where 引导名词性从句

where 引导的名词性从句主要有宾语从句、表语从句、主语从句以及同位语从句，此时
where 相当于 the place where。如：

宾：Can you tell me where you found it? 你能告诉我你是在哪儿找到它的吗？

表：That’s where I was when the accident happened. 那就是事故发生时我所在的地方。

同：I have no idea where we should go for a holiday. 我不知道我们该去哪里度假。

同位语从句：定语从句的先行词是名词或代词；而同位语从句的先行词只能是名词，而且
仅 限 于
idea，plan，fact，theory，promise，hope，news，doubt，truth，information，suggestion
，question， thought，belief，conclusion 等少数名词。

Do you consider yourself a neat or messy person?
I’m a messy person by nature.

Ever since I was a kid I never tried to be organized but I always knew where my things are, under
the bed, in the corner, on the top of my cat’s head. I know exactly where my things are. Which
made me really angry at mum when she tries to organize my room and get me out of the
chaos/ˈkeɪɑːs/ I got so customized to.

Then I went to university and was so absorbed in my studies and spent so much time
outside(from 6 am to 7 or 8 pm) that when I get home, my own room seems strange, so I stopped
remembering where I put my stuff and I was always unable to find anything.

Since I’m a messy person by nature I’m in a constant war with myself and I ceaselessly [ˈsiːsləsli]
keep trying to keep everything tidy.

Usually I just try to suggest to myself that a moderate amount of mess is the essence of beauty.
