[Spark TMC] Comming meeting 11/14

嗨, 大家好

我們這次11/14的例會主題是：The lie-flat culture

「躺平文化」已成為對現代生活壓力的無聲抗議，鼓勵人們放慢腳步，不再追求職業成功和財富。這股風潮始於中國，強調簡單的生活和身心健康，而不是高壓的目標。這不是懶惰，而是選擇避免過勞，關注心理健康，並質疑傳統的成功觀是否真的帶來幸福。隨著越來越多年輕人加入這個行列，躺平文化可能會啟發新的思維方式，促使企業和社會探索更健康、更平衡的成功與個人滿足定義。

所有的小幫手們以及要上台的與會人員, 請在開會前選擇一問題回答給總主持人或者是總評論員唷!

1. What do you think motivates people to embrace the lie-flat culture?

2. What would you choose to lie flat and take no action on?

請大家在11/14活動中與我們分享你的想法。議程請參考附件的議程表，有任何問題可在FB粉專留言告訴我們唷！

Dear Sparks and Friends,

Our regular meeting will be held on 14th Nov., and the theme is "The lie-flat culture".

The "lie-flat" culture has become a quiet protest against the pressures of modern life, encouraging people to step back from chasing career success and wealth. Starting in China, this trend values simplicity and well-being over high-pressure goals. Instead of laziness, it's about choosing to avoid burnout and focus on mental health, questioning if traditional ideas of success truly bring happiness. As more young people join this movement, lie-flat culture might inspire new ways of thinking about work-life balance, urging companies and society to explore healthier, more balanced ways to define success and personal satisfaction.

All assignments takers, please answer one follows questions to TME Jeff.

1. What do you think motivates people to embrace the lie-flat culture?

2. What would you choose to lie flat and take no action on?

Please share with us your thoughts and have a good time together on11/14. The draft agenda is attended. If you have any questions, just let us know by leaving the messages or reviews on our fans page.

See you soon.

親愛的火花會員及朋友，我們下一場火花會議將在10/24舉辦。我們這次的主題是"魔力" 請假想你是一位'魔術師", 利用條紋的絲巾,服飾,變出出人意料的事物來, 所以我們邀請你能穿著或攜帶任何有關"條紋"的裝束參加,展現你的魔力.

想像一下，只擁有一分鐘的魔法力量！在那短暫的瞬間，你可以以非凡的方式改變現實。想像一下，站在繁忙的城市中，你的指尖閃耀著能量。只需揮手，你就能讓花朵在混凝土的裂縫中綻放，為灰色的景觀帶來色彩和生命。

或者想像一下減輕痛苦的機會。你可以暫停時間，給予某人片刻的平靜，或治癒一個小傷口，提醒我們同情心的力量。也許你會選擇創造一個閃閃發光的傳送門，通往寧靜的海灘，讓他人逃離煩惱，沐浴在陽光的溫暖中。

擁有強大的力量也意味著責任。你可以激勵他人相信非凡，提醒他們日常生活中的魔法。一分鐘看似短暫，但其影響可能在很久之後仍然迴響，點燃周圍人心中的喜悅和驚奇。

在一個充滿挑戰的世界中，即使是一分鐘的魔法也能點燃希望、創造力和聯結，證明最強大的魔法在於我們提升彼此的能力。你好奇別人有哪些魔力嗎?

歡迎大家一起來參與及聆聽

請有擔任會議角色的成員，在開會前將您對以下議題的意見分享給總主持人或總講評員。

Q1: 請問你有看過魔術秀嗎? 哪些是你最喜歡或難忘的? 請分享!

Q2: 如果你有魔力, 你想做什麼?

主旨: [Spark TMC] Sporty meeting on Aug 22nd! 運動例會來啦!

嗨嗨大家, 我是蘇蘇

Spark的運動例會又要舉行啦! 8/22晚上, 歡迎大家一起來動一動, 順便練練英文聽力唷!

本次的主題是"奧運", 你對於這次的奧運有甚麼樣的想法, 或者是這中間有甚麼有趣的小故事呢? 歡迎大家一起來分享唷!

這次的奧運連我家媽媽都很瘋狂的一直看直播, 我個人怕帶賽就完全不敢看…
唯一看的一次就看到選手掉槓｡ﾟヽ(ﾟ´Д`)ﾉﾟ｡

看到的當下真的覺得自己太雖小了QQ…

有參加的工作人員麻煩選一個問題回答給總主持人或總講評

你有看奧運直播嗎? 哪個運動項目是你最喜歡的?
請與我們分享你在這次奧運期間印象最深刻或覺得最有趣的小故事

請來參加的來賓, 記得穿好活動的衣服, 不要穿牛仔褲, 不然我怕動一動會聽到什麼破掉的聲音就很尷尬了…, 也請穿運動鞋, 自備毛巾與飲水, 我們這邊也有飲水機可以裝水

那就期待大家的蒞臨囉!! 8/22晚上, 我們Spark見!

Hi everyone, I'm Susu!

The Spark sporty meeting is right at the corner! On the evening of 8/22, please join us for having some physical activity and practice your English listening skills at the same time!

This time, the meeting theme is the "Olympics." What are your thoughts on the recent Olympics? Do you have any interesting stories to share? We welcome everyone to share with us!

Here is my story. Even my mom was super obsessed with watching the live broadcasts of the Olympics this time. Personally, I was too afraid of jinxing the athletes, so I didn't dare to watch at all… The one time I did watch, I saw a gymnast fall off the bars｡ﾟヽ(ﾟ´Д`)ﾉﾟ｡.

At that moment, I really felt like I was bringing bad luck QQ...

Anyway, back to our meeting information. For the assignment takers, please pick one of the following questions to answer for TME or GE:

Q1: Have you ever watched the live broadcasts during the Olympic Games? Which sport is your favorite?

Q2: Please share the most impressive or most interesting story you heard during Olympic Games 2024.

For every attendant, please wear appropriate clothing for exercise. Avoid wearing jeans, as we won't want to hear any tearing sounds when we're moving around, which would be awkward…

Also, please wear sports shoes, and bring your own towel and water. We have a water dispenser here if you need to refill.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

See you at Spark on the evening of 8/22!
