Through a YouTube video, reading comprehension, vocabulary practice, and idioms about days, they will engage in discussions about the value of life and how to shift perspectives when facing challenges, ultimately learning to appreciate the present rather than constantly seeking future happiness or feeling stuck in dull moments.
