Ms. Chen: For running, don’t think about a marathon. Just put on your shoes and walk for five minutes.
陳老師：以跑步來說，先不要想馬拉松，只要穿上鞋子，走五分鐘就好。
Leo: Only five minutes? That sounds too easy. Does it really help?
里奧：只有五分鐘？聽起來也太簡單了吧，真的有用嗎？
Ms. Chen: Yes. Small actions create a chain reaction. When you finish one small thing, you feel good and want to keep going.
陳老師：有用，因為小行動會帶來連鎖反應。當你完成一件小事，就會有成就感，也比較想繼續做下去。
