CHISTES MEXICANOS

EL SOLO LA LUNA

The Greetings are the first conversation between two people.
Los saludos son la primera conversación entre dos personas:
We have two ways of making salutations: Formal and Informal.
Tenemos dos formas de hacer saludos: Formal e Informal.
The formal way is used when you meet new people, talk with the oldest person, or converse politely.
Here, we have an example of Greeting:
Good morning Mr. Rodriguez. (in Spanish you say)
Buenos días, señor. Rodriguez.
You start the conversation with: Buenos días (at the morning), Buenas tardes (in the Afternoon) and Buenas noches (at the evening or night)
After that, you need to put the profession or etiquette to show respect to men and women
(Mister = señor, Mistress = Señora, and  Miss = señorita)
(don’t forget to add the surname or First name) like this example: 
Señor. Rodriguez or Profesor. Rodriguez 
The second part of the conversation is making information about the person, situation or what do you want to know?
For example:
¿Cómo te sientes hoy?: How do you feel today?
¿Qué tal? = How are you?
¿Cómo estás? =How are you?
¿Qué estás haciendo? = What are you doing?
¿Como esta el trabajo? How is work?
¿Cómo va todo? = How is everything?
You can include more dialog to keep going the conversation.
And, the third part is the farewell or despedida. 
For example:
Adiós = bye
Hasta luego = See you later
Nos vemos pronto = See you soon
Hasta la vista = See you around
Chao = bye
Te veo luego = See you later
Que te vaya bien = Good luck
The informal way is used when you know well the people for example a friend, partner, brother or coworker.
Epale! = Hey
¿Que mas? = What´s up?
¿Qué tal? = How are you?
¿Qué hay de Nuevo? = What´s new?
Hola, ¿Cómo va todo? =  Hi, How is everything?
This part of the dialog can be more flexible according to the country, age, and social group.

5 Useful Phrases for the IELTS Speaking Test

Taking the IELTS Speaking test is not difficult and in fact, you can even get a band score of 8 to 9…if you know what you are doing.

The IELTS Speaking test lasts for about 11-14 minutes. It is designed to assess your pronunciation, fluency, grammar, and vocabulary. It is divided into three parts.

When taking the IELTS Speaking test, you have to keep in mind that using effective phrases will help you get a high band score. Vocabulary and grammar are two of the criteria in this part of the IELTS test.

1. Opening Statements
How you open your statements is your first opportunity to impress the examiner.

Examples:

One of the consequences…

5. Expressing Your Opinions
You should change your words while presenting your viewpoint on a subject, just as you should when adding personal experiences, rather than repeating the phrase ‘I think’.

Teacher Robert's Podcast

October Hunter's Moon (with transcript)

说到这里，他就长时间地陷入沉思之中。
And he sank into a reverie, which lasted a long time.
然后，从口袋里掏出了我画的小羊，看着他的宝贝入了神。
Then, taking my sheep out of his pocket, he buried himself in the contemplation of his treasure.
你们可以想见这种关于“别的星球”的若明若暗的话语使我心里多么好奇。
You can imagine how my curiosity was aroused by this half-confidence about the "other planets."
因此我竭力地想知道其中更多的奥秘。
I made a great effort, therefore, to find out more on this subject.
你是从哪里来的，我的小家伙？
My little man, where do you come from?
你的家在什么地方？
What is this ‘where I live, of which you speak?
你要把我的小羊带到哪里去？
Where do you want to take your sheep?
他沉思了一会，然后回答我说：
After a re?ective silence he answered:
好在有你给我的那只箱子，夜晚可以给小羊当房子用。
The thing that is so good about the box you have given me is that at night he can use it as his house.
那当然。
That is so.
如果你听话的话，我再给你画一根绳子，

And if you are good I will give you a string, too,
白天可以栓住它。再加上一根杆子。我的建议看来有点使小王子反感。
so that you can tie him during the day, and a post to tie him to.
但是小王子对我喊到：“栓住它，多么奇怪的主意。”
But the little prince seemed shocked by this offer: "Tie him! What a queer idea!"
“如果你不栓住它，它就到处跑，那么它会跑丢的，”我说。
"But if you don’t tie him," I said, "he will wander off somewhere, and get lost."
我的这位朋友又笑出了声：“你想要它跑到哪里去呀？”
My friend broke into another peal of laughter: "But where do you think he would go?"
不管什么地方。它一直往前跑。
Anywhere. Straight ahead of him.
这时，小王子郑重其事地说：“这没有什么关系，我那里很小很小。
Then the little prince said, earnestly: "That doesn’t matter. Where I live, everything is so small!"
接着，他略带伤感地又补充了一句：“一直朝前走，也不会走出多远”
And, with perhaps a hint of sadness, he added: "Straight ahead of him, nobody can go very far..."

小王子第七章：它跑到哪里去

Have you ever been heartbroken because of a breakup?

失恋

A Chinese company claims it has built an electric vehicle battery that charges faster than any other.

The company, called Zeekr, says the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 10 minutes and 30 seconds — but only when the car is plugged into one of the company's super-fast charging stations.

It calls this a new charging speed record, although it can be hard to compare the charging speeds of different vehicles because some charging stations do not work as fast as others.

But, for example, Tesla's Model 3 can be charged to about half its range in 15 minutes.

A number of other EVs can boost their range by almost 200 kilometers with a 10-minute charge.

But Zeekr says that in 10-and-a-half minutes its new battery could be charged enough to boost a vehicle's range by about 500 kilometers.

The first of its cars to include the new battery is the 2025 Zeekr 007, which is on sale in China now.

Zeekr says it has already opened more than 500 of its super-fast charging stations in China, and plans to have 10,000 in 2026.

Chinese companies have been busy making EVs, offering customers a large amount of choice — something that people in some other countries, like the US, have been frustrated by.

As well as operating in China, Zeekr began selling its vehicles in the Netherlands and Sweden last year.

It plans to begin operating in Singapore by the end of 2024, and to open showrooms in Japan and South Korea in 2025.
