Alright on we go. Question number three, Tracy asked,
好，我们继续。第三个问题是崔西问的，
"What's the difference between teaching online and teaching in schools? Why is teaching online better?"
“线上和线下教学有什么区别？为什么线上教学更好？”
I don't know whether it is better, Tracy.
崔西，我不知道线上教学是不是更好。
I think that it's different and there are reasons why I love teaching English online.
我认为它们是不一样的，我喜欢线上教学有这么几个原因。
I love that I can help and support a wide range of students,
我喜欢那种能帮到很多学生的感觉，
often students who, you know, may not ever have the chance to be in a classroom with a native English teacher.
常常是那些没有机会听英语母语者讲课的学生。
They may, you know, not even really be able to afford having regular classes
他们可能甚至负担不起听课的费用，
but I can show up and be there to support them every single week on this channel.
但是我每周会在这个频道出现教他们一些。
But one thing that I really, really miss about teaching in a classroom is about being physically surrounded by my students
但线下教学有一点是让我非常怀念的，就是可以真实地被学生环绕。
and you know, really getting to know them and understanding what some of their frustrations and challenges are
还可以深入了解他们，知道他们学英语的难点在哪
and being able to make a significant impact on their lives and the way that they are learning English.
能在他们的生活和学英语的道路上产生一些重要的影响。
I guess the only other thing that I would mention is that online teaching gives me, in my personal life, quite a bit of flexibility.
我想还有一点我要提一下，就是线上教学使我的个人生活非常灵活。
I travel a lot, I have family in different places so I'm constantly moving around.
我经常旅行，我的家人在不同的地方，所以我经常在路上。
I mean, it really is a privilege to have a job where I can do that.
这种情况下，能做这样一份工作是非常棒的。
I can take my work with me and I can do it from anywhere.
我可以带着我的工作，随时随地去做。
There are also some downsides to that as well just by the way, like I literally, you know, hardly ever have a day off.
但是这么做也有一些不好的地方，就是我几乎没有休息日。
I've always got my work with me and it's not really an excuse when you go on holidays to not work because I've got my computer, I've got my phone.
我总是在工作，没有理由在假期不工作，毕竟我只要有电脑和手机就可以工作了。
So the work-life balance side of things is not as perfect as, you know, the idea of flexibility sounds and working for yourself.
所以工作与生活平衡这一方面使灵活工作不像听起来那么完美。
Okay Odette has asked, "Have you ever had self-doubt when you need to take another step?
Odtte问“你在迈出新一步前会有自我怀疑吗？
Do you ask yourself, 'Can I really make this happen? What if I fail？ How do we overcome self-doubt?'"
你会不会问自己‘我真能做成吗？失败了怎么办？如何克服自我怀疑呢？’”。
My gosh this is such a good question!
天呐这个问题太好了！
I have, I experience self-doubt daily.
我每天都在经历自我怀疑。
There, like I said, there have been some huge changes and challenges that have come up,
就像我说过的，我的生活中出现了很多的变化和挑战，
you know, through running my own business, you know, starting The Ladies Project, running a YouTube channel,
经营自己的公司，开始做Ladies这个项目，运营油管频道，
and you know, I'm constantly filled with self-doubt but I think the way that I deal with self-doubt is by accepting that it's there.
自始至终我都会自我怀疑，但我处理这件事的方式就是接受它的存在。
I know that I'm always always going to be doubting myself.
我知道我还将一直进行自我怀疑。
Accepting that it's there and then moving forward regardless.
接受它的存在，然后义无反顾地向前。
So moving forward despite those feelings of self-doubt
所以即使会自我怀疑，也要向前走，
because what I've found in all of my experience of teaching, building a business,
因为我所有的这些经历中，比如教学、创业、
you know, working in an office, building a career, learning a language is that once you do something, once you try something only two things can happen.
办公室工作、开启新事业、学一门语言，让我发现一旦你开始做、开始尝试一件事，只有两种情况会发生。
One is that you surprise yourself and you feel like I really didn't need to worry about that so much.
一是你会感到惊喜，发现你根本不必担心这些问题。
It wasn't as bad as I thought.
没有我想的那么糟糕。
And the second thing is, if you mess up and make a mistake or you make a bad call, you do something wrong.
第二种情况就是，你搞砸了、犯错了、做错了决定，或者某件事做得不对。
All it does is show you what you shouldn't do next time or how you can improve the next time
这些都可以帮你下次避免这些错误，并且有所改进，
and the next time feels a little easier because you've had that experience and you know what not to do.
下一次你就会感到更简单，因为你已经有经验了，知道哪些事不该做。
So when it comes to self-doubt, I have it every day but my strategy, my personal strategy, is to recognise that it's there but move on regardless.
所以就自我怀疑这件事来讲，我每天都在经历，但我个人的处理方式就是接受它的存在，然后继续向前。
Okay, so Rasha asked, "What inspires or motivates you?"
接下来，Rasha问我“激励你前进的动力是什么？”
I think it might be a little cliche but it's true that the determination of my students is what inspires me
这里原因说起来可能有点老套，但确实是这样，学生们的决心就是我的动力
and a huge desire to help them to reach their goals.
我有很强烈的欲望，想帮助他们达成目标。
I'm just constantly blown away and completely inspired by the challenges that you have to overcome to learn a language.
我不断地被你们在学英语过程中遇到的挑战所激励和打动。
I mean learning a language is hard, it takes a commitment that you put in over many, many, many, years and
我知道学一门语言是困难的，需要长达数年的努力，
you know, the frustrations of not making progress and you know, difficulties that come up in your life,
还会经历没有进步的沮丧，不断出现的困难，
it really takes stamina to succeed to the point where you people are at and that's what inspires me
想要成功达到现在这个水平是很需要毅力的，这深深打动了我
and anything that I can do to help you and support you on your journey is an actual blessing for me.
任何我能做的，能在英语学习的道路上帮到你们的，对我来说都是一种幸福。
