Mastering Ukrainian Plurals: Neutral nouns in plural

Halo semua! Apa kalian menikmati akhir minggu dengan baik?
Hari ini saya punya cerita menarik! Hari Jumat minggu lalu, waktu bertemu dengan salah satu murid saya, saya bilang “Di Indonesia, banyak polisi tidur di jalan loh”. Terus, murid saya bingung, “Polisi tidur di jalan? Untuk apa? Itu sangat bahaya kan!” Dia kaget banget! 
Ya, ya, “Polisi tidur” di Bahasa Inggris artinya “speed bump”, tapi saya pikir di Jepang tidak ada polisi tidur ya, jadi artinya polisi tidur adalah 車の速度を落とさせるための道路上の段差のこと。Menarik kan! 
Di Indonesia, biasanya di area yang ada sekolah atau di jalanan kecil, banyak polisi tidur. Kadang-kadang ada 4, 5 polisi tidur. Jadi, kalau kalian pergi ke Indonesia, jangan kaget melihat banyak polisi tidur di jalan. Hehe.. Ok, Sampai di sini ya. Sampai jumpa lagi!

我是谁？
我是一位爷爷吗？不是的。
我是一只猫吗？也不是的。
我是一个鸡蛋吗？当然不是的。
我是一张地图吗？
哈哈，这是个太奇怪的问题！
告诉你吧，其实我叫Amber, 你可以叫我Amber老师！
我从中国来，我是中国人，我在中国的南方（nánfāng, south）。你呢？
我今年30岁，你知道我去年几岁吗？明年呢？
我是一位中文老师。我有很多学生，他们是工程师、医生、服务员和学生。你的工作是什么呢？我想你可能在银行工作？或者在学校工作？还是在工厂工作？
我喜欢读书、做饭。我还特别喜欢体育运动，跑步阿、骑自行车呀，爬山什么的。我也喜欢和好朋友在一起，虽然她最喜欢的是吃巧克力和睡觉。你喜欢什么呢？
我的城市叫厦门。这里很夏天和冬天都很舒服，不太热也不太冷，刮风下雨的时候不多，天气很好。这里的生活比较慢，我想，是因为厦门人喜欢喝茶。厦门在海的旁边，它公园很多，大树很多，路很干净，房子很漂亮，很像一个大花园，所以很多人来这里旅游。
厦门有两千年的历史，所以她有一种很古老(gû lâo, ancient)的音乐，但是现在的人都已经听不懂了。
在厦门最流行的游戏叫做博饼(bó bîng, mooncake betting)。这个游戏我们只在中秋节(zhōng qiū jié, the Mid-autumn Festival)玩，所有的大人和孩子都喜欢，因为可以拿很多礼物。
我喜欢我现在的城市，但我更喜欢我的老家(lâo jiā, hometown)，我的老家有我的爸爸妈妈爷爷奶奶，我喜欢的邻居、朋友和同学。我希望每一年都能回家一次，每一次都能和我爱的人一起去吃好吃的。
你的城市怎么样呢？可以告诉我吗？
我们下次见！ See you next time !

How to Pronounce the "ng" in an "ing" word in English

Pronouncing the "ng" sound in "ing" words can be a bit tricky for learners of English, but with practice, it can become second nature. The "ng" sound is a nasal consonant, represented by the phonetic symbol /ŋ/. It is produced by the back of the tongue making contact with the soft part of the roof of the mouth (the velum), while the sound resonates in the nasal cavity.

Here are some tips to help you pronounce the "ng" sound correctly in "ing" words:

1. **Positioning the Tongue**: Start by positioning the back of your tongue against the soft part of your upper mouth, as if you are about to say the sound "k." However, instead of releasing the "k" sound, let the air pass through your nose.

2. **Relax the Tongue**: Keep the tongue relaxed to allow for a smooth nasal sound. Tensing the tongue can make the sound come out more like a "g."

3. **Nasal Resonance**: Focus on directing the airflow through your nose. You should feel a slight vibration in your nasal passages.

4. **Avoid a Hard "g" Sound**: Be careful not to add a hard "g" sound at the end. The "ng" sound is a single, continuous sound rather than a combination of "n" and "g."

Here are ten examples for practice:

1. **Sing**: /sɪŋ/
   - "She loves to sing in the choir."

2. **Ring**: /rɪŋ/
   - "The phone began to ring loudly."

3. **Long**: /lɒŋ/
   - "It's going to be a long day."

4. **King**: /kɪŋ/
   - "The king ruled the land wisely."

5. **Bring**: /brɪŋ/
   - "Please bring your book to class."

6. **Thing**: /θɪŋ/
   - "What's that strange thing over there?"

7. **Going**: /ˈɡoʊɪŋ/
   - "Are you going to the party?"

8. **Swimming**: /ˈswɪmɪŋ/
   - "Swimming is my favorite sport."

9. **Running**: /ˈrʌnɪŋ/
   - "He has been running every morning."

10. **Morning**: /ˈmɔrnɪŋ/
    - "I enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning."
