    Chinese TV shows
    Can anyone recommend some new Chinese TV shows that would be good for learning up to date language with new slang?

    Fashion Industry and Dress Code in School

    In the an era of global trade, the fashion industry that ranges from high-end luxury brands to fast-fashion retailers—and the thousand of companies in between that produce and sell fashion products[1] plays a role in dictating to almost everyone what they’re going to wear. In other words, nowadays,  the fashion industry has a great effect on everyone’s aesthetic lives. In modern China, a rapidly changing country on the planet,  the fashion industry has already built its mature and firm business chains in there, and it’s shaping the look of Chinese people especially the young generation. However,  the fashion industry seems to have lost loose its power in the area of school uniforms in China.

    In Mainland China, as I know nearly all schools(except kindergartens or colleges) require uniforms. Also, the regulation of uniforms is made by the leaders of school rather than by the fashion industry. A student who trims his or her uniform according to the latest trends of fashion will be punished for the behavior because he or she has broken the regulation of school dess code. When I was a middle school student, the skinny trousers were quite popular among teens at that time. So, some of my schoolmates would like to trim their straight trousers namely uniform into skinny trousers. Then, my school declared that the teachers of Discipline Inspection Department would cut out the skinny trousers with scissors on the spot if the teachers find out discovered any student dresses wearing a pair of skinny trousers at school. Obviously, school has set a strict restriction regulations on the uniforms. Therefore, most Chinese students have to wear the same uniform at school instead of showing their personality through the way they dress. So, the concepts of the fashion industry hardly have an influence on school dress codes of school.

    My Internship Experience

    These days, I recently got an internship job in the Government. In detail, I've been working in the Bruea Bureau of Social Security for a month.

    Be As an assistant in the office, I spendt most of my time managing documents and editing files on a computer. In a word, it's a simple  and quite boring work. Still, I am learninged a lot from it.

    First of allFor example, I found there's a mounting tension between citizens and the Government. Because the officials have to explain the policy to the citizens frequently as the policy always changing. However, to my observationsI‘ve observed that not every official has the ability to describe the policy. So, lots of citizens are unsatisfied with the BreauBureau of Social Security.

    Secondly, I also noticed that most officials in the Breau Bureau are lack of excitement out of bored with their work. Personally, I think the cause of the situation is the repeated work, namely the same work day in and day out. 

    So far, I've learned 2 things from my one-month experience. And, I'm looking forward to the next month.

    Ted Talks and other Video Lectures

    Does anyone here on italki use Ted Talks for learning English? To learn Chinese I've been watching 《罗辑思维》and have found that it helps my listening comprehension a lot. Are there any other video lecture series that you have used for learning either English or Chinese?
