  • S2E21 Post-Secondary Education in BC: Finding the Right Path 卑詩省的高等教育:找到適合自己的路
    Jan 26 2026

    In this episode, Annie and Lilah talk about post-secondary education in British Columbia, addressing common misconceptions—especially the idea that North American education is “easier.”
    We break down the application process and explore the many pathways available in BC, including universities, colleges (transfer, career, co-op, and micro-credential programs), and trades programs.
    The key takeaway is simple: before choosing a program, students need to reflect on what they want, what they’re good at, and what they’re interested in. With a clearer sense of self, it becomes much easier to navigate the wide range of options the BC education system offers and make informed choices.
    This episode is a helpful listen for students and parents, whether domestic or international, who are considering higher education in BC.
    在這一集中,Annie 和 Lilah 聊聊 卑詩省(BC)的高等教育制度,並回應許多家長(特別是亞洲家庭)常見的迷思,例如「北美的教育比較輕鬆」。
    我們簡單介紹 申請流程,並說明 BC 多元的升學選擇,包括 大學、學院(轉學、職涯、Co-op、微學分課程)以及技職教育。
    這一集最重要的重點是:在選擇升學方向前,學生需要先好好認識自己——知道自己想要什麼、擅長什麼、對什麼有興趣。當方向清楚了,就能在 BC 的教育體系中,找到最適合自己的選擇。
    這一集非常適合學生與家長收聽,不論是本地或國際學生,都能從中獲得實用的思考方向。

  • S2E20 — Writing from Scratch (Part 2): Outlining從零開始寫作(下):列大綱
    Jan 19 2026

    This episode continues our two-part series on the writing process, moving from brainstorming to the next important step: outlining.

    Annie and Lilah talk about why making a plan before you write can save time, reduce stress, and lead to clearer writing. We explain how to distinguish main ideas from supporting details, how to organize ideas logically, and how to put together a simple and effective paragraph outline. This episode is especially helpful for language learners and anyone who feels overwhelmed once the ideas are on the page.

    Just like Part 1, this episode also comes with a video version. You can visit our YouTube channel to watch us build an outline step by step and see exactly how ideas are selected, ordered, and turned into a writing plan.

    Watch the video version here:

    We are still experimenting with video content and would really love your feedback. Have you found the video helpful? Does watching the process make writing clearer for you? What else could we do to better support your learning?

    Whether you are a student, an English learner, or someone who wants to write with more confidence, this episode is about turning ideas into structure and structure into clearer writing.

    Brainstorm first
    Outline next
    Write with clarity

    這一集是我們寫作流程兩集系列的下集,從腦力激盪進一步走到下一個關鍵步驟:列大綱。

    不論你是學生、英文學習者,或是希望寫作更有條理的人,這一集都希望幫助你把想法變成結構,讓寫作更有方向。

    先腦力激盪
    再列大綱
    寫得更清楚

  • S2E19 Writing from Scratch (Part 1): Brainstorming 從零開始寫作(上):腦力激盪
    Jan 12 2026

    This episode kicks off a two-part series on the writing process, starting with the very first—and often most intimidating—step: brainstorming.
    Annie and Lilah talk about what brainstorming really is (and what it’s not), why “good writing” doesn’t start with perfect sentences, and how getting ideas out of your head and onto paper makes everything easier. We break down how to generate ideas freely, how to group related ideas, and how to tell the difference between main ideas and supporting details.
    This episode is also a first for Find Someone Who—we’re trying a video version of the podcast! 🎥
    Listeners can head over to our YouTube channel to watch Lilah demonstrate the brainstorming process in real time—showing how to put ideas on paper, organize them visually, and shape messy thoughts into something usable.
    👉 The brainstorming demo begins at 16:20, so feel free to jump straight to that section if you want to see the process in action.
    Whether you’re a student, a language learner, or someone who freezes at a blank page, this episode is here to remind you that writing doesn’t begin with writing—it begins with thinking, playing, and exploring ideas.
    🎧 Listen for the concepts
    📺 Watch for the process
    ✍️ And get ready for Part 2
    💬 Tell us what you think about this video version of our podcast. Is it more helpful? What do you think we can do to help you more?

    這一集正式開啟我們關於寫作流程的兩集系列,從最一開始、也最容易讓人卡關的一步談起:腦力激盪
    Annie 和 Lilah 會聊聊腦力激盪到底是什麼(以及它不是什麼)、為什麼「好文章」不是從完美的句子開始,以及為什麼先把想法從腦袋裡倒出來,寫在紙上,能讓後續寫作變得輕鬆許多。我們也會示範如何自由產生想法、如何把相關的點子分組,以及如何分辨主題想法和支持細節。
    這一集對 Find Someone Who 來說也是一個新嘗試——我們第一次推出 影音版本的 podcast!🎥。聽眾可以前往我們的 YouTube 頻道,直接看到 Lilah 實際示範腦力激盪的過程:如何把點子寫下來、用視覺方式整理想法,並一步步把混亂的思緒整理成可用的架構。
    👉 腦力激盪示範從 16:20 開始,如果你想直接看實作,可以從這個時間點開始觀看。
    不論你是學生、語言學習者,或是每次面對空白頁面就不知從何下筆的人,這一集都想提醒你:寫作不是從寫句子開始,而是從思考、嘗試與探索想法開始。

    ✍️ 準備迎接下集(Part 2)
