工作忙、生活忙，我們常把時間留給工作、朋友和各種待辦事項，但你一天之中，有多少時間真正留給家人呢？👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💛

如果想用英文聊聊「陪伴家人的時間」，除了說 I love my family.，還可以怎麼自然地表達？

這一集從一個簡單卻很貼近生活的問題開始：

💬 Do you spend a lot of time with your family?
你會花很多時間陪伴家人嗎？

一起學會 spend time with somebody、because of + Noun，聊聊家人、生活與陪伴。

💬 A. QUESTION｜口說練習

Question: Do you spend a lot of time with your family?

• Yes, exactly so. I have a small family, and there are only four members, my dad, my mom, my sister and me. We have a strong bond among us and that makes us a happy family. So we spend lots of time together. We enjoy cooking together. We catch up on news and talk about our lives.

• Unfortunately not very much. Um … I wish I could. I try to spend more time with my family, but actually, we don't live in the same city. Because of my work, I live alone in another city far from my family, so, I am only able to spend about two weeks per year with them.

✨ B. LANGUAGE FOCUS｜學習焦點
