I was very grateful that by the end of yesterday, this daily English program hit its 100,000 listenership. 70 episodes, 70 days, from 0 to 100,000, I did not miss even one day. It all started with the initiation of helping some ESL students to learn English. I truly believe, apart from weekly lessons, daily listening and speaking are crucial to English learning.  I once doubted whether I should continue, the time I spent in preparing, drafting, recording and uploading is quite considerable. However, when I saw the comments and likes from you, I would gain the courage to carry on. Thank you for being a great listener, and thank you for being patient enough to listen to my story, hobbies, weaknesses and feelings. I would encourage you to share with whoever that might benefit from this program, so that more will have the chance to hear it.

很感恩，昨天我们这个节目突破了10万的收听量，而昨天正好是节目的第70集，也就是在在70天里面，从0到了10万的收听量。70天，没有一天中断过，起因就是为了帮助一些学习ESL的学生，因为我认为学习英语除了每周课堂中的学习以外，每天的听说练习非常重要。这当中我的确有疑惑的时候，毕竟每天要花不少时间预备稿子，写出单词，自己录制，上传。但每次犹豫要不要坚持的时候，只要看看听众的评论，我就会鼓足勇气继续下去。谢谢你们每天的收听、点赞、转发，也谢谢你们听我和你们分享我自己的故事、爱好、不足、感受。如果你从中受到了一点帮助，请转发，点赞，这样能够让更多的人有机会听到这个节目。
