In today's episode we're joined by Krystal, a Chinese student, who has recently moved to London. In the podcast we'll hear what she thinks of the British weather (not as bad as you may think), the cost of living (expensive, but not dear), and why the English you learn at school doesn't always help you when talking with real Londoners. Listen now, as Krystal gives advice to anyone planning on moving to the U.K.. Or book a lesson with Cambridge David, and find out more about the real British life and culture.

分享看剧感受！
朋友们你们好！今天的零食叫做“星期三”。我们来一起边吃边学吧！ 
 ”星期三“是一个女孩的名字。这个小女孩平时全身只穿黑色衣服。而她的表情总是给出一个难以与人相处的印象。她很喜欢侦探推理和那些古怪的东西。

 首先要说的是，我真的被“星期三”的性格吸引了。她活在自己的世界里，不在乎任何人的评价，只有我可以定义自己。这个女孩不仅个性特殊还很有想法，是不是？

说实话，作为一个敏感过度在意他人感受的我，其实是非常累的，所以真的对“星期三”着迷。尤其看到她跳舞那段。看上去有那种舞池中我是主角，欢迎来到我世界的感觉。特别有风格！ 
 然后也不能不提到另外一个很有趣的人物。一直陪着“星期三”是一个叫“小东西”。我十分喜欢“小东西”！那只手是我本剧最爱的设定。你们说，谁不想拥有一只骄傲敏感无所不能的小挂件呢？ 
 “星期三” 这部悬疑的美剧，你看了吗？你喜欢的是什么人物呢？快来告诉我吧！

2022年12月16号 - 最近看了“星期三” - 第一印象！ (Intermediate)

Давно не было новых эпизодов, поэтому продолжить я предлагаю очень интересно - сегодня мы возьмем отрывок из знаменитого романа Льва Николаевича Толстого “Анны Карениной”. Слова Степана Аркадьича (Стивы) о Константине Левине.

Как и раньше, я читаю отрывок дважды. В первый раз медленно, по несколько слов, но обязательно ставьте эпизод на паузу, чтобы всё успеть. Второй раз читаю быстрее, чтобы вы проверили, всё ли правильно записали. Знаки препинания я буду называть, их будет всего три: точка (.), запятая (,) и тире (-).

Отправьте мне сообщение со словами “двенадцатый диктант готов” и я пришлю вам текст для проверки.

Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего дня, друзья!
