因為有 TutorABC，讓我克服學習英文的恐懼

當初有想學英文的念頭時，就想要找英文家教，一來是補習班多人上課方式會讓我不自在，再來是我希望可以免去舟車往返的時間上。
在網路搜尋的時候找到TutorABC，介紹的內容很符合我想要的一些條件，這些好處吸引我想了解如何在線上用真人對話的方式學英文，所以我預約了 TutorABC  試上了一次課程；在上課的過程中，外籍顧問用視訊上課時，我們可以看得見顧問，但顧問是看不到我們的，這就已經讓我少掉很多尷尬，可以感覺更自在了。

上課期間，顧問也會給時間發言問答、互動再加上適時的鼓勵，這樣的學習更會讓我們突破心裡對學習語言不敢開口的障礙。成為正式學員後，網站內豐富的課程內容像大海一樣，讓我們盡情的在其中遨遊，真是有種學海無邊的感覺。我知道任何的學習都要一步一腳印的累積、付出才有收穫，很慶幸現代的科技便利了我們的學習，對於TutorABC的教學品質也給予最高的肯定。

TutorABC 讓我學英文，從需求變興趣!

雖然公司提供了很棒的一對一會話環境，但我還是選擇了與TutorABC續約。

加入TutorABC的初期，純粹是因為有公事上的需要–對於即使你的專業能力再好，遇到需與外國人以英文溝通的時候，那種說不清楚  "龍困淺灘" 的感覺，深深地感到挫折。 參加了TutorABC後，卻讓我面對外國人不會再  "故意" 擦身而過。

從每一次課堂，專業外籍顧問們給予的讚美，讓我對英文需求從工作變成了興趣，也相對有了自信。即使出國有領隊需要協助的地方，也會寧願用破破的英文，自己先行溝通。當然，長期下來也有偷懶的時候，但不久後就會很驚訝的發現，沒有持續的練習，真的會退步，就是話到口邊，卻想不出要說的字眼，讓我更是深刻體認，英文不是要用就能信手拈來，長期持續的努力，一定是有必要的。

加上本身的工作性質也常臨時有突發事件，導致下班時間不固定，所以這樣的全天候的線上學習方式，剛好滿足個人需要，又讓想偷懶的人沒有藉口；現在的我，已經習慣於週六、週日早上7:30起床預習，早上8:30上完課後，才覺得一天有個美好的開始。

〈獨家〉擦香水遜！　擦「費洛蒙」有性魅力 (Tvbs網站報導)
 記者：古彩彥 攝影：張志旻 台北 報導

許多研究證實，動物身上因為含有一種無色無味的分子「費洛蒙」，才會造成異姓彼此吸引，美國現在有實驗室，合成純度極高的「費洛蒙」，標榜擦上去之後，可以很快在無形之中吸引異性，已經有業者引進台灣販賣，一小瓶賣8000元。 

擦香水遜掉了，現在流行擦「費洛蒙」，這種無色無味的分子，用嗅覺聞不出來，但是卻會引起異性的生理反應，標榜擦上去以後，可以讓男人瘋狂迷戀。 

業者：「功用就是吸引男性，尤其是男生，你這是女生用的，很快就可以吸引到男孩子。」 

有這麼神嗎？小瓶子裡裝的，是實驗室合成的費洛蒙，含有能夠吸引異性的化學物質，光是這一小瓶，就要8000元，超級貴。 

就連加了費洛蒙的香水，價格也翻兩倍，一瓶2450。業者：「台灣做不出來這種東西啦。」 

業者依照女性陰道的費洛蒙，製造促情素，號稱能讓男生興奮，還針對不同訴求，推出產品。有男生專用的費洛蒙、商務用的，還有女性專用的，目的只有一個，就是讓擦的人在無形之中，受到歡迎。

聽起來很神奇，誰不想成為萬人迷，也難怪再貴還是有人買。

以下這間店家，最便宜的一罐只要1600喔!

Study finds proof that humans react to pheromones
March 11, 1998

There could be important practical implications from this finding. Because pheromones influence the release of eggs, researchers say they may provide a more natural way of preventing pregnancy or treating infertility. 

However, researchers say more study is needed to find out if there are other types of pheromones and if they are as powerful in humans as they are in other species. 

One enduring mystery of pheromones is that if they are undetectable by the human sense of smell, how can humans be influenced by them? 

The answer, some researchers believe, is that pheromones are detected by the same nerve cells in the nose used to detect odor or perhaps by another structure in the nose called the vomeronasal organ. 

Medical Correspondent Rhonda Rowland contributed to this report.

You can't make someone love you, even on Valentine's Day, no matter what Hallmark, Godiva and FTD may say. But how much do we really know about how love works? What is it that attracts a particular man to a particular woman and (with any luck) vice versa? To see what light science could shed on the subject, I called Professor Martha McClintock at the University of Chicago. McClintock is an expert on odor and behavior who published a famous study in the early 1970s that showed that the menstrual cycles of college women living in dorms became synchronized through exposure to one another's pheromones, those faint chemical signals released from the skin that control the mating rituals of much of the animal kingdom. McClintock has a new study, published in the February issue of Nature Genetics, that makes an even more provocative link between sex and odor--specifically, the odor of a T shirt worn by a man on two consecutive days.

The experiment was simple. The T shirts were carefully prepared (no cologne, no cigarettes, no sex) and then placed in boxes where they could be smelled but not seen. Forty-nine unmarried women were asked to sniff the boxes and choose which box they would prefer "if they had to smell it all the time."

The results would have made Sigmund Freud proud. The women were attracted to the smell of a man who was genetically similar--but not too similar--to their dads. McClintock thinks there's an evolutionary explanation. "Mating with someone too similar might lead to inbreeding," she says. Mating with someone too different "leads to the loss of desirable gene combinations." 

McClintock isn't suggesting you can attract a mate by smell alone, but that hasn't discouraged companies like Erox from bottling pheromones and stopping just short of calling them aphrodisiacs. Marketing websites feature links to scientific papers on the power of pheromones. I spoke to Dr. David Berliner, CEO of Pherin Pharmaceuticals, who did some of the initial research. While working at the University of Utah with natural compounds produced by human skin, he noticed a surprising change in the behavior of his male and female colleagues. "They developed an increased level of camaraderie that was hard to explain," he says. There were smiles, eye contact and increased approachability until the skin extracts were removed, at which point the group reverted to normal behavior.

But even Berliner balks at categorizing pheromones as aphrodisiacs. "I've been looking for an aphrodisiac for 11 years, and I'm convinced that there is no such thing," he says. The Food and Drug Administration agrees. It surveyed purported love potions--from oysters to rhino horn--and determined that none of them work. This Valentine's Day, I think I'll stick with flowers, a card and some chocolate.
