Did you know that "I am eating" is not the same thing as "I eat"?

The Language Journey

English's Fake Present Tense

听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

今天的话题是，你喜欢住在大城市，还是小城市呢？在我看来，它们。大城市有很多精彩的活动，也非常的包容。包容的意思就是，大城市能理解各种各样的人。相对来说，小城市就没有那么包容。因为小城市甚至乡村居住的人们见识比较少。而大城市的人们见多识广，如果你有比较小众的爱好，大城市的人见怪不怪，小城市的人可能会对你另眼相看呢。

大城市的压力也比较大。相比小城市，人们更难在大城市生存，因为生活水平高，消费也贵。在中国的大城市比如北京、上海和广州，消费可以非常的高，而收入却有高有低。为了生存，人们必须有很强的赚钱能力。小城市就比较安逸了，消费不高，生活节奏不快，人也随和。

你喜欢大城市还是小城市呢？欢迎留言，感谢收听，希望你喜欢，我们下次见。

“After investing in several pieces of training, books, private classes, I’m glad to have started sessions with Tannia because she could fix the primary issue that I could not see by myself.

As a non-native English speaker, my goal has always been to have an American accent, but Tannia taught me that the better goal for a non-native English speaker is to focus on connecting with the audience and communicating clearly, not on accent reduction.” — Juliano F. | Brazil

Beispiele zu den typischen Klängen der tschechischen Sprache.

Tschechisch AUSSPRACHE

At what age do we become "old?"

This is a question a team of European researchers has been asking.

The age at which people think old age begins has moved in time, according to a new study.

Many people also like to believe they haven't yet reached old age, even as they get older.

The research team looked at data from the German Ageing Survey, which included more than 14,000 participants.

The participants were born between 1911 and 1974, and answered survey questions over a 25-year period between 1996 and 2021.

They were aged between 40 and 85 when they began answering the questions, and more participants joined the survey in time.

People were asked a lot of questions, including: "At what age would you describe someone as old?"

The researchers found that when people born in 1911 got to the age of 65, they thought old age began at 71.

But when those who were born in 1956 got to 65, they thought old age began at 74, on average.

However, the study also found that people's perceptions of old age changed as they got older.

At the age of 64, the average participant said old age began at about 75. But at the age of 74, the average participant said old age began at about 76.

Study author Markus Wettstein said he wasn't sure if this meant people had a positive or negative view of old age.

Better health care and increased life expectancy in recent years may also have affected people's perceptions, he said.

When Does 'Old Age' Begin? People Can't Decide

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
おととい、昨日と日本は台風の影響がありました。

私は昨日の夜、飛行機に乗りました。
北海道の空港の近くが暴風域、風が強いところ、に入ったので、飛行機が欠航、とばないこと、になるか心配でした。
ですが、飛行機は飛びました。
風が強かったので、飛行機はとても揺れました。
ガタガタと長い時間揺れていました。
何度も飛行機に乗ったことがありますが、今までで1番揺れていたかもしれません。少し怖かったです。

それでも飛行機はそのまま飛び、２時間後、無事大阪につきました。

天候がある程度予測できる時代になったとはいえ、ほぼ時間通りに着く飛行機の正確さと、飛行機を操縦する機長のスキルは素晴らしいですね。

昨日はそんなことを考えた1日でした。
みなさんの国の飛行機に乗る時はどうですか？
ぜひお話しましょう！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
