JIM: Who’s the tall woman next to Barbara?
CHARLES: That’s her friend Mary. Didn’t you meet her at 
Steve’s party?
JIM: No, I wasn’t at Steve’s party.
CHARLES: Oh! Then let me introduce you to her now. Mary, this is
my friend Jim.
MARY: Hi, Jim. Nice to meet you.
JIM: You, too. Would you like a drink?
MARY: Sure, let’s go get one.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• “Who’s” is the contracted form of who is. It is pronounced the same way as “whose” (/
huwz/), but the meaning is different.
• Didn’t you meet her …? Notice that this is a negative question. Charles thought that Jim 
had met Mary before. He is now surprised that Jim does not know Mary, and so he uses a 
negative question to show his surprise.
• I wasn’t at Steve’s party. Notice that the emphasis here is on “at” although prepositions 
normally have weak stress. In this case, “at” means “there” (I wasn’t there).
• Mary, this is my friend Jim. This is a friendly way to introduce two people. It’s 
common to follow this with “Jim, this is Mary.” In this case, Mary says “Hi, Jim” first.
• Nice to meet you. This is a typical response after you’ve been introduced to someone.
• “Sure” is often used in informal conversation to mean “yes.”

Hablemos de viajes, parte V

안녕하세요! 
제 메시지의 노래버전입니다.
"This is the sung version of my original message."

https://youtube.com/shorts/zfAkGLpfgxg?feature=share

어젯밤에도 잠을 설쳤죠.
오늘은 조금 괜찮을까 했는데,
아침부터 일이 꼬이기만 했어요.
그런 날,
우리 모두 있잖아요.
하지만 잊지 마세요.
그런 날에도
당신은 멈추지 않았다는 걸요.
넘어져도,
힘들어도,
다시 일어나 한 걸음씩 나아갔잖아요.
그건 정말 대단한 거예요.
오늘의 당신은 충분히 멋졌습니다.
그리고 내일은 더 빛날 거예요.
잠시 쉬어도 괜찮아요.
당신은 그럴 자격이 있으니까요.
오늘도 수고한 당신,
충분히 잘하고 있어요.

You had trouble sleeping last night again, didn’t you?
You thought today might be better,
but things have been going wrong since morning.
We all have days like that, don’t we?
But don’t forget,
even on days like that,
you didn’t stop moving forward.
Even when you stumbled,
even when it was tough,
you got back up and took one step at a time.
That’s truly amazing.
You were incredible today.
And tomorrow, you’ll shine even brighter.
It’s okay to take a break.
You deserve it.
To you, who worked so hard today,
you’re doing great.

FLO TALKS 

PRETEND TO BE A FOOL.

Whether you're travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you're likely to spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it's also an exciting city with plenty of things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay?

Where to stay
The Khao San Road was a famous traveller spot even before Leonardo di Caprio's character in the film The Beach stayed there. But it's noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alternative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where everyday Bangkok people eat, work and live. It's not as convenient for the main tourist sites, but it has a Skytrain station so you can be at the Grand Palace in 20 minutes.

How to get around
Bangkok's traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you can easily take a taxi – if you want to spend hours stuck in traffic jams – but there are two much better ways to get around the city. To explore the temples and historical sites, catch an express boat river taxi or a longtail boat along the Chao Phraya river and the canals. For the modern part of the city, the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the shopping malls and nightlife of Sukhumvit, and the famous Chatuchak street market.

Where to eat
The simple answer is: everywhere! Thai street food is among the best in the world, and for around $5 you can eat a filling and delicious meal. Some food stands have little plastic seats where you can sit and eat and they cook the same dish over and over, like fried chicken on rice or Pad Thai noodles. Head for Chinatown – Yaowarat Street – and choose whatever looks most interesting from the many excellent Chinese and Thai restaurants and food stands.
