The Jerome Meadows Experience

Podcast 001

Host: Welcome back to the podcast everyone. Now we’re moving on to the part of the show that we call ‘Explain yourself!’. This is where our guests talk about a topic and say what they think and why. Listeners, you can tell us who was the most convincing. So we’ve got Jake with us, Jake is from New York in the United States. Then we’ve got Andrew who’s from York in the UK.

Andrew: The original York before the Americans made a worse one.

Jake: No one knows where York is, or cares.

Host: Whoa! We’ve started already. Don’t worry, Jake, Andrew’s just trying to provoke you. This could be an interesting discussion! And today’s topic is Food and Drink. Which is better: American or British?

Jake: Well, this is going to be a short discussion. It’s American food and drink. It’s definitely the most well-known food around the world. What’s the next topic?

Andrew: Just because American food is the most well-known, which it is, it doesn’t mean it’s good. I think most of it is really unhealthy. Yes, he’s definitely an American male. Do all of you just sit watching games on TV that no other countries are interested in, drinking ice cold beer-flavored water and shouting (Mimics) ‘We’re the best at everything! USA!’

Jake: Oh you’re talking to me about beer? Good luck with tempting people to come to your barbecue on a hot day with a nice glass of warm beer. Not that you have barbecues because it’s always raining. You just sit inside with your warm beer and your fish and chips feeling sad.

Andrew: (laughs) I’m not going to apologize for enjoying beer that is slightly warmer than ice. There are things that are more important than how cold it is, you know? Like, oh I don't know - taste?

Host: Beer wars! Are we going to be able to resolve this difference at all, gentlemen?

Andrew: Obviously I’m a little more favorable toward British beer, but Jake has a point about the weather. It doesn’t actually rain all the time, but it’s not usually as hot as it gets in most places in the US. 

English Conversation/Dialogue

Discussion Opinions 

verbos pronominais são os verbos conjugados com os pronomes oblíquos - os que mais usamos, são: me/se/nos; e esse pronome vai se referir ao mesmo sujeito na frase, podendo ser reflexivo ou recíproco: Os reflexivos é quando o próprio sujeito faz a ação: Olhar-se Eu me olho no espelho (você está olhando para você) Eu olho no espelho - sem o pronome, significa que você está olhando ao espelho, mas não está olhando para você; você pode olhar ao espelho do carro e não se olhar! Os Recíprocos é quando duas pessoas fazem a mesma ação ao mesmo tempo: Beijar-se Eles se beijaram na balada (duas pessoas beijaram uma a outra). Eles beijaram na balada (beijaram outras pessoas, não um com o outro). Alguns verbos são essencialmente pronominais…

Lily's Chinese 对话

20240217小马过河

El Carnaval de Negros y Blancos es la fiesta más grande e importante del sur de Colombia. Se celebra del 2 al 7 de enero de cada año, y atrae un considerable número de turistas colombianos y extranjeros. En 2009 fue declarado Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad por la UNESCO. 

El Carnaval de Negros y Blancos tiene su origen en la fusión de múltiples culturas y expresiones, correspondientes a los Andes, la Amazonia y la cultura del Pacífico. El carnaval de negros y blancos nació en el siglo XVI en el año 1546. Se realiza a principios de año debido a que tiene un origen en rituales indígenas. Estas celebraciones, con la fusión e influencia de la cultura española dan origen al sincretismo hispano religioso, que generan porto expresiones de lo que será el carnaval de Pasto. 

El 5 de enero está dedicado al día de los Negros. Durante esta jornada se conmemora el día en que los esclavos de origen africano tenían libre para dar rienda suelta a sus desahogos lúdicos y la gente juega y baila en las calles y en los lugares públicos a pintarse de negro. El lema de ese día es: ¡Qué vivan los Negros! El 6 de enero esta ciudad ya no celebra más el Día de Reyes, sino el día de los Blancos o Día del Desfile Magno. En contraste con el día anterior, en esta fecha los pastusos se pintan de blanco generalmente con talco perfumado, usándose muy poco harina, cremas o pinturas cosméticas. 

El evento o atracción principal, además de verbenas populares en las plazas y calles de la ciudad, es el gran desfile, que recorre las calles del centro de la ciudad, la Plaza del Carnaval y parte de las avenidas de la periferia por la llamada Senda del Carnaval. El lema de ese día es: ¡Qué vivan los Blancos! y en los últimos años se ha convertido en infaltable el de ¡Viva Pasto Carajo!, pronunciado tanto por lugareños como por turistas.
