Prepariamoci al Natale! Get ready for Christmas 

Across the world, millions of people are watching other people play video games on platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitch.

Twitch in particular has become the world's biggest video game streaming platform, with over 240 million people using the site each month, and over 7 million people actively streaming.

Imagine that — a whole business, worth billions of dollars, based on people wanting to watch other people play video games.

But why do people want to do this — instead of just playing the games themselves?

One possible reason is the personality of the players. People enjoy watching how these gamers react and make jokes as they play the games. One study in 2021 found that people like to watch gamers simply because they find their personalities attractive.

They may also be attracted by a player's skill. Some simply find it enjoyable to watch a professional gamer play a difficult video game, while others may hope to learn and improve their own skills by watching.

Another study in 2016 looked at people who watch gamers on Twitch in particular. It found that people watch these gamers not only to learn from them, but also to see what a game is like before they decide whether or not to buy it.

The same study found that people also watched games online because they could interact with other people who liked games, and it gave them a sense of community.

This kind of online community would become especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Twitch's audience grew by about 80%.

However, according to the 2016 study, the biggest reason people like to watch video gamers is simply because they want to relax and forget about their daily life.

Just as there are many different kinds of video games, there are also many different kinds of gamers. And it seems people's reasons for watching these gamers are just as varied.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
上周我们学了数字一到五的一些有趣的词，今天我们继续来学习吧。
第一个是数字“六”，“六六大顺”是一句祝福语，多用于祝福中年人士家庭幸福，工作顺利，事业有成，身体健康。有一个流行语“666”，是很厉害的意思，可以用来夸人。你看到很厉害的人或事的时候，可以说“666”。这其实是口头语“溜”的谐音数字，一个人的中文说得很好，我们可以说“他的中文说得很溜。”
七上八下：指的是“心中慌乱、不安”。例如：当我第一次去见我的老师时，我心里紧张得七上八下。 
八字没一撇：一个“八”字连一撇都没有写。比喻事情离成功还差得很远。例如： 他们刚认识，结婚的事八字没一撇呢。
九牛一毛：“许多头牛身上的一根毛。形容极大数量中的微不足道的数量。”。例如： 这点损失对他来说, 只不过是九牛一毛。  
十拿九稳：指的是“做事很有把握”。例如： 如果不是十拿九稳的事，他不会轻易答应你的。
大家快把这些词用起来吧，这样你的中文就更溜了。我们下期见。
