#02 Le drapeau français

清明节是中国的传统节日，通常在四月。这时候，天气不冷也不热，到处都是春天的样子，草绿了，花开了，好看极了。​
清明节有一个重要的习俗，就是扫墓。很多人会在这天去墓地，墓地是去世的人 “住” 的地方。人们带着鲜花来到墓地，把墓地打扫得干干净净，再献上鲜花，表达对去世亲人的想念。​
除了扫墓，清明节还适合踏青。人们会和家人、朋友一起去公园或者郊外。在公园里，能看到五颜六色的花，还能听到小鸟唱歌。在郊外，空气特别新鲜，风轻轻吹在脸上，舒服极了。大家一边走，一边看风景，心情也变得更好。​
清明节还有好吃的食物，比如青团。青团是用绿色的菜和糯米做的，又软又甜，味道很棒。很多人在清明节会吃青团。​
在中国，有一首和清明节有关的诗，是唐代诗人杜牧写的。诗是这样的：​
清明时节雨纷纷，​
路上行人欲断魂。​
借问酒家何处有？​
牧童遥指杏花村。​
这首诗说的是，清明节的时候下雨了，路上的人心情不太好。有人问哪里有酒店，放牛的小孩指着远处的杏花村。​
清明节既有对去世亲人的思念，又有对春天的喜爱。希望通过今天的节目，大家对清明节有更多的认识。感谢收听，咱们下次再见！

کلاغ تشنه / A thirsty crow

Picture this: you’re standing at the coffee machine and a colleague comes over. You don’t know him very well. You both say hello and then you can’t think of much to say. You mumble* something about the weather (if you are British this is a sure thing. We love to talk about the weather) and then… nothing. 

Your mind goes blank* and you stand awkwardly looking at the coffee, wondering why it is taking so long to make…

Or picture this: you’ve joined a meeting online and there are one or two colleagues already there. You’re waiting for others to join and you have to pass the time. But the same thing happens … you can’t think of anything interesting to say and there is awkward silence….

In these situations we need small talk.
