最好吃的水果。
我来北京学习汉语已经三个星期了。在这里，我有很多有意思的事情。
上星期，我生病了，向老师请假去医院看医生。所以，上午没去上课。中午十二点，我回宿舍了，同学告诉我老师要来。老师为什么来呢?他不相信我生病了吗 ?我很不高兴，我想去别的宿舍。可是，还没出去，老师就来了。我问老师:“老师，你不相信我生病了吗?”老师听了，笑起来”:“不，我来看看你怎么样了。现在你发烧吗？吃药了吗？看，我还去商店给你买了水果呢!”
这是我吃过的最好吃的水果。要是我去了别的宿舍，就不能吃水果了。

N3　語彙　第４週３日目

Switzerland is a mountainous country in the center of Europe, roughly the same size as the Netherlands and with a population of around 9 million people. The capital city is Bern, the largest city is Zurich and within those and other cities, several languages are spoken. Switzerland has four official languages: German, French, Italian Romansh. Romansh is a romance language that is traditionally spoken in the southeastern region of Grisons and became an official language in 1996.

The country has long been famed for its neutrality. Sitting out each of the world wars, it has a self-imposed policy that states that they should not become involved in any political or armed conflicts with other nations. In fact, since 1815 Switzerland has not participated in a foreign war. In recent years this neutrality has been questioned due to their close links to Europe, the fact they became a member of the UN in 2002, and that they are the location for the headquarters of many multinational banks and corporations.

Over the past 100 years, Switzerland has gradually become one of the wealthiest countries on earth. This is partly due to the strength gained from their neutral positioning but also periods of prolonged political stability have had an influence. A study commissioned by Credit Suisse in 2020 discovered that 800,000 millionaires live in Switzerland, and in a country of just 9 million that is quite a significant proportion. However, the increased wealth of the country has brought with it hefty living costs, and Switzerland has been described as the most expensive place to live in Europe.

Think you’ve mastered regular verbs? Think again! In this episode of British Pronunciation Tips, we uncover the hidden secret of -ed endings — why words like worked, played, and wanted sound so different.

You’ll learn how the pronunciation of -ed changes depending on the final sound of the verb — becoming /t/, /d/, or /ɪd/ for clarity and ease of speaking. We’ll break down the rules, explore plenty of examples, and test your ear to help you hear (and say) the difference naturally.

By the end, you’ll know exactly when to use each ending — and your past tense verbs will sound smoother, clearer, and more native-like.
