学英语，上 51Talk（我要 Talk）

身为两个孩子的妈妈，除了生活上的衣食住行，我对他们的教育也很重视。生活在中文社会，孩子们难免在外语课有点跟不上。有时候遇到外国人她们都很害羞。为了改善这个情况，所以我选择了51Talk。

谐音为我要 Talk的 51Talk，是学英语最方便有效的管道。为什么呢？接着看下去吧。

1. ) 全线上

全线上的学习方式是目前为止最好不过的了。方便家长因为不用担心出门塞车或者是人太多，只需要在家就可以好好的线上学习。也方便家长观察孩子们的学习进度哦。

2.) 1对1

1对1的学习课程，让老师更能和孩子互动。这样一来，孩子能更专心地上课学习哦。

3.) 纯外教学习模式

51Talk聘请纯外教来教导孩子们，让孩子们朗朗上口地说英文。久而久之，孩子就可以说得一口流利的英语啦。

我鼓励家长们尽早让孩子们学习英语， 因为12 岁以前是儿童学习英语的最佳时期。其实三岁开始就可以帮孩子报名51Talk学习了。

学习英语有利于建立语言习惯：幼儿的英语学习与其他的学 习一样,要遵循幼儿成长和学习的自然规律，兴趣即源泉，兴趣即动力，先培养兴趣，从听和说入手，在玩中学，学中玩，通过游戏、交谈，最大限度地调动学生的学习积极性,培养良 好的语言习惯,建立英语思维。

UNIQLO Launches PEACE FOR ALL Charity T-shirt Project

Global apparel retailer UNIQLO announces the launch of PEACE FOR ALL, an ongoing commitment to support peace efforts worldwide that uses UT (UNIQLO T-shirt) as the means for everyone to express their individuality. Conducted in collaboration with world-renowned leaders in the areas of art, design, literature, science and sport, PEACE FOR ALL aims to raise funds by selling T-shirts with designs expressing a desire for peace. UNIQLO parent company Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. will donate all profits from sales, no less than 20% of the sales price of each shirt, equally among three international organizations, UNHCR, Plan International, and Save the Children, that aid those affected by poverty, discrimination, violence, conflict and natural disasters.

“The UNHCR last month announced that the number of refugees worldwide exceeds 100 million. Clothes are vital to refugees, along with water, food, medicine and a place to sleep comfortably. UNIQLO ‘LifeWear’ is everyday clothes for daily lifestyles. Over the years we have engaged in a number of initiatives to assist refugees thanks to the support and cooperation of customers. UT PEACE FOR ALL is a new LifeWear initiative aimed at aiding those affected by conflicts and wars and helping to spread the message of peace all over the world. T-shirts have the power to convey a message. Even if you find it difficult to express your own voice, you can participate easily by wearing one of our UTs. The world needs peace now more than ever, and I hope that with UT PEACE FOR ALL our combined voice to promote world peace will grow louder.” says Mr Tadashi Yanai.

With SOPs Easing Up, Malaysians Look Forward to Home Makeovers for a Brand-New Start

With the multiple lockdowns arising from the pandemic over the last two years, those who have been wanting to give their homes a much-needed makeover have had to put plans on hold. Now, as SOPs have eased and we move towards normalcy, many Malaysians are finally ready to start on their remodelling projects in anticipation of hosting family and friends once more. To further provide Malaysians with the opportunity to win stylish home makeovers, Hong Leong Bank (“HLB” or the “Bank”) and Dresid, a one-stop home improvement digital platform are collaborating to offer the Bank’s customers the chance to freshen up their homes with three dream home makeover packages worth RM33,000 each.

“Over the last two years, Malaysians have spent much of their time at home and many have had to invest in carving out spaces in their homes to enable them to set up workstations as the pandemic required the majority of the nation to work from home. Now that we are slowly transitioning back to the office and can now host visitors, many are looking to refresh their spaces at home. Whether it is redesigning the entire home, or adding statement pieces to a room, we want to help our customers realise their dream homes with the opportunity that will allow them to explore their creativity without financially burdening them,” explained Andrew Jong, Managing Director of Personal Financial Services of HLB.

According to Kwek Kon Hao, Team Lead of Dresid, one of the more common issues faced in any home remodelling project is going over budget as oftentimes homeowners do not have a clear vision of what they want to achieve and tend to add on smaller side projects that may seem like a good idea but will inevitably add to the cost and prolong the entire remodelling process.

“There are a few simple tricks that can help anyone keep to their budget without hindering their vision of a beautiful home makeover. Homeowners can start by envisioning the size of the project they want to undertake, be it a minor facelift or a major overhaul and then create an accurate budget by getting three or four quotes from different suppliers. Refrain from side-tracking from the main plan by determining your priorities as well as the timeline needed to accomplish your goals. Writing down plans and ideas on a vision board will also help keep you and your family focused and on track but more importantly, within budget,” said Kon Hao.

Kon Hao shared that creating a detailed remodelling plan by building a spreadsheet with all the anticipated costs will also help give homeowners an idea as to whether their dream home makeover can be accomplished within budget. Some of the reasons homeowners go over budget are the failure to price in the little things like clean-up costs, living expenses during the remodelling, pest control issues, extensive damage to wiring or plumbing in older properties and inaccurate estimates for materials, labour and furniture.

From now until 8 August 2022, new and existing HLB customers have the opportunity to win a designer home makeover worth RM33,000 from Dresid. Customers simply need to perform eligible transactions as outlined in the table below via HLB website and/or HLB Connect to gain entries and be selected as one of three winners to walk away with a gorgeous home makeover. Not only that, customers can also receive exclusive discounts up to 30% and an additional 7% in cashback at selected Guocera retail outlets when spending using their HLB cards.

Eligible Transactions

• Open a Current and Savings Account/Current Current and Savings Account-i (“CASA/CASA CASA-i”)
• CASA/CASA CASA-i is protected by PIDM up to RM250,000 for each depositor.
• Apply for a Credit Card
• Apply for a Personal Loan/Financing Financing-i
• Apply for Balance Transfer
• Apply for Quick Cash
• Apply for Flexi Payment Plan

Buds Organics Celebrates 18 Years of Being Proudly Malaysian

Homegrown brand Buds Organics celebrates its 18th anniversary this year. Buds Organics has grown from kitchen dreams to being internationally recognised in 10 countries, with 67 products under its belt. Now, the brand proudly carries the world’s largest range of ECOCERT-certified skincare, personal care, and household products that cater to the needs and wants of the whole family.

Siblings and co-founders Soo Siew Peng and Soo Kian Kheng (KK) started this business in 2004 with a seed of an idea – to create quality skincare products that are natural, pure, and eco-friendly. Buds Organics upped the ante in 2008 with the launch of a preservative-free range for babies and moms, Buds Cherished Organics, also its first range to be ECOCERT-certified.

Soo Siew Peng, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Buds Organics

In line with their core values of integrity and quality, Siew Peng and KK chose to have their products certified by ECOCERT as it’s the world’s most thorough, stringent, and transparent organic certification body. Buds Organics now enters its 14th consecutive year of ECOCERT-certification, a testament to the founders’ steadfastness in producing high quality, safe, and sustainable products that are trusted by parents worldwide. As a green business, the brand credits their success to its commitment to ESG (environmental, social, governance) practices.

“Happiness is the core of our business – we want to share happiness by creating products that improve quality of life, from skincare treatment ranges to household cleaners. As a family business, our guiding principle has always been this: whatever we offer to the world must first be good enough for our own cherished ones. It brings my brother and I such joy and pride to celebrate Buds Organics’ 18th anniversary, to watch the ‘baby’ in our family grow up.

Today, we are proud to say that our products have garnered parents' trust worldwide and we will continuously uphold our values to improve our quality and offerings. Buds is set to take on the world stage with rapid expansion in the pipeline to cement our position as the top certified organic family skincare brand globally. Of course, we could not have come this far without the support of our entire ecosystem of staff, government agencies, business partners, suppliers, and loyal customers.

Show Support for The Autism Cause

In recent years, the rates of autism are increasing dramatically globally. In conjunction with World Autism Month 2022, Champs, together with NASOM, are hosting ‘Kasihi Autisme Bersama Champs’, a campaign dedicated to raise awareness about autism as well as promoting art as a form of therapy for autistic children.

Held from 1st Apr 22 until 30 Jun 22, we can buy the art pieces made by the autistic children from NASOM. All proceed will go back improving the many aspects of life of people with autism and their families. On top of that, in collaboration with Healthlane Pharmacy Malaysia and its participating outlets nationwide, RM1 from the sale of every CHAMPS Vitamin C promotion pack will be donated to NASOM.

A small show of support can go a long way in the lives of these children. Do show your support by looking through the amazing artworks from their aspiring young artist and purchase the ones you love at: https://dbhealth2go.com/champs/art-sale

Together, let's shine a light on this wonderful group of individuals through the art sale and make a difference in the lives of many autism children.
