Come to Spark on 1/23 to enhance English and health

嗨, 大家好

歡迎參加1/23的石牌國際演講會。主題是：「Pressure (壓力)」。

每個人都難免會有壓力。因此我們都想知道：有那些有效的舒壓方法呢？有人說睡覺，有人說聽海浪聲…。歡迎你來分享你的妙招；也聽聽別人的點子。

Q1: What pressure do you sometimes encounter?

Q2: What are good ways for you to release pressure?

運動當然也是個紓壓的好方法。1/23本會特別邀請到周淑芳老師來帶我們做一小時的運動—先是有氧，然後是肌力訓練以及伸展。她在天母許多社區據點和士林社大開課，深受歡迎。(若您有彈力帶，歡迎帶來。沒帶也沒關係，本會有多預備。)

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！
