Can You Pronounce This Well-Known Russian Tongue-Twister? Listen and Repeat.

Halo! Apa kabar semua? Semoga semua sehat ya! Hari ini adalah awal minggu. Biasanya, Hari Senin adalah hari yang sibuk untuk saya. 
Akhir-akhir ini, hampir setiap hari saya suka mendengar lagu dari salah satu penyanyi terkenal di Indonesia. Sekarang, Dia adalah penyanyi yang sedang "naik daun". Artinya di Bahasa Inggris, "Now, He/she is a rising star or now, he/she is becoming a popular singer". Di Bahasa Jepang artinya 今、ノリに乗ってる歌手。Siapa penyanyi yang sedang naik daun di negara kamu? atau menurut kalian, siapa artis dunia yang sedang naik daun sekarang ini? 
Saya suka mendengar lagu sambil bekerja atau belajar. Saya bisa lebih berkonsentrasi. Bagaimana dengan kalian? Kalian juga suka mendengar musik atau lagu sambil bekerja? 
Ok! Hari ini sampai di sini, selamat belajar, selamat bekerja ya! Sampai jumpa lagi! ^^


Akhir minggu

Naik daun

DOCTOR: What seems to be the problem?
CATHY: Well, I have a bad cough and a sore throat. I also have 
a headache.
DOCTOR: How long have you had these symptoms?
CATHY: About three days now. And I’m really tired, too.
DOCTOR: Hmm. It sounds like you’ve got the flu. Take aspirin
every four hours and get plenty of rest. Make sure you 
drink lots of fluids. Call me if you’re still sick next week.
CATHY: OK, thanks

LANGUAGE NOTES 
• What seems to be the problem? means “What is the problem?” Notice that the intonation 
falls at the end of the question. The doctor wants information, not a “yes/no” answer.
• Well is used as an introductory word. Notice how the vowel is drawn out, to sound like 
“Weeeeeell …” This can be used as a way to “buy time” while you think about what you 
want to say next.
• A bad cough … a sore throat … a headache: Notice the article “a” before each symptom.
• About is used to mean “more or less.” It’s used here to give an estimate of time.
• Take aspirin … get rest … Make sure … Call me: Notice the doctor uses the simple tense 
here to give instructions. This is the imperative form of the verb.
• Still sick means “continue to be sick.”
