King Charles visits a Gurdwara Temple (with transcript for study)

听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

最近，中国的互联网上悄悄掀起了一股热潮，那就是逃离一线城市，回到家乡创业。一些创业成功的年轻人把他们的故事拍成视频放到网上，引发很多人的关注。这是怎么回事呢？

中国的一线城市，也就是北京、上海、广州和深圳的工作和生活的压力非常大，这是众所周知的事实。这几年，随着中国城市化过程接近尾声，大城市的年轻人也开始悄悄掀起了一小波回乡潮。他们不仅是厌倦了大城市的种种弊病，也向往着乡村生活的归园田居、诗和远方。很多大学生毕业后回到家乡进行农业生产，带领家乡的人们致富。但是也有年轻人回乡不仅仅是种植农作物，还开发了更多的有趣内容。

春天一家是疫情开始的时候从上海回到乡村的。疫情三年，他们几乎没有带过口罩，每天生活在蓝天白云、绿树河流的美景中。仅仅是这一点，就让所有人心生羡慕。三年来，他们改造羊圈建成房屋，院子种满鲜花，还在地里种菜，建乡村图书馆，到后来的设计研学项目，邀请城里的孩子来乡村体验生活。他们的视频不仅获得几十万人的观看，还被中国的中央电视台多次采访、录节目。看着他们用双手辛勤劳动，创造美好生活，在大城市打拼的同龄人纷纷留下羡慕的评语。

他们用自己的智慧，创造了充满希望的和可能性的生活。同时，获得了国家“乡村振兴“政策的扶持和广泛的赞誉。我相信，未来中国的农村是一片创业和生活的广阔天地，更多年轻有为的回乡人将把乡村建设得更美好。让我们拭目以待！

好了，希望你喜欢今天的内容，这里是茶时话中文，我是Penny，我们下次见。

Today let’s try to practice some Russian tongue twisters! 
Tongue twisters are a great tool to improve your pronunciation, focus on difficult sounds and increase your speech speed (and more importantly – make it clearer). 
Try to repeat after me (I’m reading each one 2 times – super slow and then closer to normal speed):

от тОпота копЫт пЫль пО полю летИт.

на дворЕ травА, на травЕ дровА. не рубИ дровА на травЕ дворА!

кукУшка кукушОнку купИла капюшОн, надЕл кукушОнок капюшОн, в капюшОне кукушОнок смешОн.

These tongue twisters focus on different Russian sounds. Please try to articulate them as clear as possible, don’t chase the speed. Good luck!

In this episode we are going to learn how to talk about【My holiday】. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

IELTS Speaking Part 3 Topic: Historic Place. Q. 1-3

Many paintings and statues are of nudes - people with no clothes on.
So why did they start covering their naughty bits with fig leaves, which is a really BAD idea?
("Naughty bits" - I will leave you to your imagination as to what they are. There are also hundreds of words to describe them, from biological terms to very weird slang expressions!)
