Why is Women's Day called Goddess Day? 为什么妇女节叫女神节？

Intermediate Chinese Listening

I invite you to tune in to hear the rest of my conversation with Listening Expert Cara Leopold with Leo Listening. This time, we talk about how to get used to different accents and speaking speeds and motivate yourself to learn a language for work or school even if you don't want to. You'll also learn what to do if your language learning has stalled, bad habits language learners pick up when learning a language in a traditional classroom setting, reductions and linking, and how to improve your English skills by joining a movie club. Here are a couple of excerpts from our conversation: "The irony is that it's usually the words that you already know that cause the most problems." "People resent it (the English language), and I understand that because it's imposed on a lot of people, and obviously, we can't expect everyone to be excited about learning it. So I totally understand those feelings, which are valid. I think then, if you can't get excited about English, what can you get excited about? What interests you, in general?"

La vita a Torino della signora Lucia


La signora Lucia vive nel centro di Torino nel quartiere del quadrilatero romano. Lavora da casa come traduttrice dal cinese all’italiano e ama molto cucinare. Proprio per questo motivo ogni giorno va al mercato di Porta Palazzo a fare la spesa. Lei ama passeggiare tra le bancarelle che vendono tanti prodotti alimentari differenti: adesso che è Gennaio lei compra della verdura di stagione come broccoli, cavolo nero, carciofi, finocchi, zucca, porri, rape e cavolfiori. Uno dei suoi piatti preferiti è un tortino di cavolfiore con uvetta, besciamella e noce moscata. Dopo aver fatto un giro nel reparto della frutta e verdura, la signora Lucia va nella zona del mercato coperto dove si trovano le pescherie e le macellerie. Dal pescivendolo compra delle cozze, delle vongole e qualche gamberetto, per preparare al marito Gilberto uno spaghetto allo scoglio. Poi in macelleria compra della carne macinata di vitello e di maiale, per preparare delle polpette di carne che ama tanto suo figlio Alberto. Alberto studia a Torino all’università del Politecnico, ma ogni domenica a pranzo preferisce tornare a casa dei suoi genitori per pranzare con tutta la famiglia. Lucia poi dal suo pizzicagnolo preferito, acquista della ricotta fresca di pecora, del parmigiano grattugiato, del pepe macinato e del pane grattato oltre a delle uova biologiche allevate a terra, ingredienti che andranno a essere la base di una torta salata di ricotta e spinaci che preparerà per sua figlia Maria. Maria è una studentessa del quinto anno di scuole superiori ed è vegetariana quindi la madre prepara per lei piatti buoni e senza carne.
