Layla describes a popular mobile app called TodayQuestion: Q&A Diary that asks users one question every day. Unlike a regular diary, you only answer that single question, which makes it much simpler to keep up with. Joseph hadn't heard of it because he'd been too busy to check online recently.
The dialogue explores how a simple app encourages daily reflection through one question per day, sitting right at the intersection of Mindfulness & Technology. Instead of complex journaling software, the app lowers the barrier to self-reflection — you just answer one prompt, which is why it's popular among busy users.
You'll encounter jiāoliú (Communication), fùzá (complex), and ruǎnjiàn (Software), along with topic-specific terms like 每日一问, 问答日记, 破冰问题, 远程, and 推荐. These words let you talk about apps, communication habits, and digital tools in everyday Mandarin at the HSK 2 level.
