Code, talk to users, sleep, eat, and exercise

It’s also the case that there is a lot less to do in the Valley than in San Francisco if you’re young and childless. You will work more. Part of PG’s advice is to do little other than code, talk to users, sleep, eat, and exercise. That advice is much simpler to follow when you’re living in Mountain View; there is only so much you can do on Castro Street.

Speaking 5.4

Posted on by

Think in English 5.4

5. 你現在可以試一試，完全使用英文思考，會有怎樣的情況。

…

你會發現，（假設你是初學者，）腦中的句子，都是一些很傻的句子，例如：

I want to go home.

I don’t know what to do.

不過，句子傻並不是問題，因為，小學程度的句子，正正是日常生活所需的句子。句子形式複雜，反而會令講者不順，聽者不明，絕對有礙溝通。句子傻不單不是問題，反而係好事，重要的是，你要保證基本文法不要錯，例如，要分清 have/has 之別。

6. 英文口語進化的同時，你的廣東話亦會退化。但不用擔心，因為，考試後，只要你花五分鐘講廣東話，原本的廣東話功力，自然全數歸來，毫無遺漏。
