We all do it regardless of knowing that it's often counterproductive and can put us in a bad mood or lead to us feeling insecure....no matter what the gurus tell you and their advice to NOT do it we just cannot help ourselves. 

This episode offers my take on this everyday phenomenon. I welcome you to share your opinion in the comments section.

你好，我是Wei，欢迎你来到有趣的中文
今天，我想给你讲一个故事。
等你听完这个故事可以帮你复习 hs k1的语法知识和重要的单词。
那我们现在要开始了，
我的故事叫小明的一天。

我叫小明。我是一个小男孩。今年六岁了。
我的家里有三口人，爸爸妈妈和我，还有我最喜欢的小猫。
今天天气真好，是晴天，早上我起床后。
洗脸刷牙妈妈给我做了早餐，我闻到了面包的香味。
我走进厨房对妈妈说，妈妈早上好，妈妈笑着说。
早上好，小明！快来吃早餐。
桌子上有一杯牛奶，还有一个大大的苹果，我喜欢喝牛奶。
我也喜欢吃苹果，我很快就把早餐吃完了。
吃完早餐。我对妈妈说。妈妈我想去公园玩。
妈妈说好。我们走吧。
公园里有很多人，有的人在散步，有的人在跑步。
还有的人在聊天，我看到一棵大树树下有一只可爱的小狗在睡觉。
我走过去。
不想吵醒他。
过了一会儿，我和妈妈走到了湖边，湖水里有很多小鱼。
它们的颜色可真漂亮，有红色的，黄色的，还有黑色的。
我对妈妈说，妈妈你看小鱼好可爱，妈妈说是他们在快乐的生活呢。
我们在公园玩了一会就回家了，回到家爸爸已经下班回来了。
爸爸手里拿着一个盒子，我问他
爸爸这是什么，爸爸笑着说。
这是给你的生日礼物。打开看看。
我打开盒子哇，是一个很好看的玩具汽车，我高兴的跳起来对爸爸说。
谢谢爸爸，我好喜欢这个礼物。
到了晚上吃完晚饭，我和爸爸妈妈一起坐在沙发上看电视。
电视里正在播放有趣的动画片，我们一边看一边笑，看完电视我就去洗澡。
然后就去睡觉了，今天真是快乐的一天，我在心里想着。
明天还要去更多好玩的地方，很快我就进入了甜甜的梦乡。
刚才我给大家讲了小明的一天，通过这个故事我们复习了 HSKE 里的。
词语和句式如果你有任何问题请你告诉我，让我来帮助你。
谢谢你的收听！下次再见。再见了。

В этом подкасте рассказываю о популярных алкогольных напитках в России. О том, с чем их пьют и что в это время нужно делать.



Привет, это Наташа!

Эпизод 38. Алкоголь в России. Что пьют и как.

In this week's episode of English In A Teacup, we are getting ready for Halloween. We will be learning spooky vocabulary to get into the mood as well as a curiosity in English grammar called inversion.  For students preparing for advanced-level exams (CAE, CPE, IELTS, etc.), it is important to know about inversion and how to use it in the writing sections. To help us with the subject is our fine English lady, Miss Finesstocrat, who today will be telling us about her terrible experience trying to survive the zombie apocalypse. How did she get on? Let’s put the kettle on and find out!
