01 白雪放假啦！Báixuě fàng jià la! Baixue is on holiday!

今天，白雪告诉我，下个星期她有七天的假期，这是她的年假。她跟我分享了她的计划。

放假的时候，她一点儿也不想待在家里。因为她非常喜欢运动，所以她打算下个星期每天都去锻炼锻炼。她觉得工作日的时候，每天待在办公室八九个小时，需要坐在电脑前面很长时间。如果不运动，身体会慢慢变得不健康。

星期一早上她打算去公园跑步；
星期二她可能去游泳；
星期三她和朋友们去打篮球；
星期四她想去小河边骑自行车；
星期五她会去爬山。
星期六她不出门儿，她得打扫一下儿她的家，然后喝喝咖啡看看书，好好儿休息一下儿。

她问我星期天有没有空，她想和我一起去买衣服，吃饭和看电影。我高兴地答应了！真希望星期天快点儿来呀！

Today, Bai Xue told me that she has seven days' holiday next week, which is her annual leave. She shared her plan with me.

She doesn't want to stay at home at all during the holiday. Because she likes sports very much, she plans to exercise every day next week. She felt that she needed to sit in front of the computer for a long time when she stayed in the office for 8 or 9 hours every day on weekdays. If don't exercise, body will slowly become unhealthy.

She is going to run in the park on Monday morning;

She may go swimming on Tuesday;

On Wednesday, she went to play basketball with her friends;

On Thursday, she wants to go cycling by the river;

Mưa phùn bay, hoa đào nở.
Ông trồng cây táo xuống đất. Bé tưới nước cho cây. Mưa tưới nước cho cây. Mặt trời sưởi nắng cho cây.
Con Gà Trống đi qua nói to:
– Cây ơi! Cây lớn mau!
Thế là những chiếc lá non bật ra.
Những con Bươm Bướm bay qua cũng nói to:
– Cây ơi! Cây lớn mau!
Thế là cây ra đầy hoa.
Một hôm, ông, bé, Gà, Bươm Bướm cùng nói to:
– Cây ơi! Cây lớn mau!
Thế là những quả táo chín ngon lành hiện ra.
Bé giơ áo ra, những quả táo chính ngon lành rơi đầy vào lòng bé

HSK 3 Lesson 10 Passage 2 

Kerala is not one destination, it is four. Here is the travel vocabulary you need for each of them, the sentences that actually get answered, and a way of behaving that will change how people treat you.

I am Dr. Reshmi R. Nair, an applied linguist from Kerala. I have taught hundreds of learners to speak Malayalam as it is actually spoken.

1. THE BACKWATERS
കായൽ - kaayal - the lagoon, a brackish lake system running parallel to the coast
വേമ്പനാട് കായൽ - Vembanad Kayal - the largest
കെട്ടുവള്ളം - kettuvallam - houseboat, historically a rice barge, from കെട്ടുക (to tie), because the planks were stitched with coir rope rather than nailed
വള്ളം - vallam - small country boat
ചുണ്ടൻ വള്ളം - chundan vallam - the snake boat raced at Onam

2. THE HILLS
മൂന്നാർ - Munnar - tea country; the name is മൂന്ന് + ആർ, three rivers
തേയില - theyila - tea, the leaf; തേയിലത്തോട്ടം - theyilathottam - tea estate
വയനാട് - Wayanad; തേക്കടി - Thekkady, the Periyar reserve; ആന - aana - elephant

3. THE COAST
കോവളം Kovalam, വർക്കല Varkala, ബേക്കൽ Bekal
കടൽ - kadal - the sea; തിര - thira - a wave; കടൽത്തീരം - kadalthiiram - beach

4. THE BUILT HERITAGE
ഫോർട്ട് കൊച്ചി Fort Kochi, with its ചീനവല (cheenavala, Chinese fishing nets)

THE SENTENCES THAT GET ANSWERED
ഇവിടെ നിന്ന് ആലപ്പുഴയ്ക്ക് എങ്ങനെ പോകാം? - ivide ninnu Alappuzhaykku engane pokaam? - how do I get to Alappuzha from here?
ഈ ബോട്ട് എത്ര മണിക്കാണ്? - ee boat ethra manikkaanu? - what time is this boat?
ടിക്കറ്റ് എവിടെ കിട്ടും? - ticket evide kittum? - where do I get a ticket?
എത്ര സമയം എടുക്കും? - ethra samayam edukkum? - how long will it take?
ഇവിടെ അടുത്ത് നല്ല ഭക്ഷണം എവിടെ കിട്ടും? - where can I get good food near here?
Notice കിട്ടും (will be got). Malayalam frames availability, not transaction.
