Do you have a pet that doesn't obey you? Does it still disobey you no matter how mad you get? Maybe you need to find a better way to communicate with it.
Sometimes people try to discipline their horses by hitting them, but that doesn't always work. It hurts the horses, and some horses still won't obey.
This man is a horse whisperer. Horse whisperers are people who think that they have a special ability to understand what horses are thinking and feeling. Instead of needing to hit the horses, they can make the horses understand what they want them to do by looking at them, speaking to them and petting them in a special way. The man in this picture is trying to communicate with this horse by whispering in its ear.

你曾經養過不順從你的寵物嗎?無論你怎麼生氣,牠依然違抗著你嗎?也許,你需要找一個更好的方法與牠溝通。
有時候人們會鞭打馬兒來馴服牠們,不過那樣不見得有效。那樣會傷害馬兒,而且有些馬還是不會服從。

即使你認為對馬兒說話很蠢,許多人都說對馬兒輕聲細語真的有用。你認為這匹馬明白那男子想告訴牠什麼嗎? (翻譯︰賴美君)

The asphalt was warm against his knees. Around him, dozens of people lay flat in the narrow street outside Jenn Lann Temple in Dajia. Some pressed their hands together in prayer. Others closed their eyes. Lucas had only come to look at the temple. An hour earlier he had stepped into the noisy courtyard out of curiosity. Inside the main hall, people held incense sticks, bowed three times,
You might think knitting is only for grandmas, but surprisingly, many young people are embracing so-called “grandma hobbies.” On social media platforms, activities such as home cooking, embroidery and gardening are becoming popular among teenagers and young adults who are drawn to their relaxing and creative nature. “Grandma hobbies” typically refer to activities that are slow-paced, handmade and nostalgic.

Visitors walking down the streets of London and other major English cities might notice a curious sight. Many of the old __1__ have some of their windows boarded up. What’s even stranger is that there doesn’t appear to be any consistent pattern as to which windows get covered. This architectural __2__ dates back over 300 years during a time when “coin clipping” was a common crime in England. Back then, silver coins had simple designs with __3__, unmarked edges. Without any pattern extending to the coins’ rims, it was difficult to tell if the edges had been __4__. This
