#03 La baguette de pain

This story uses words from '2000 Most Common Words in English'. 

It’s five in the evening and the sun is slowly going down. The sky is a warm yellow colour. 

John is a bundle of pasta. He is held together by a paper band. He is sitting on his roof with his 
acoustic guitar on his lap. In front of him is a pen and notepad. 

Ah yes, thinks John. I’ll use an A chord here. That will make the melody so beautiful. 

The bundle of pasta is writing a love song for his dear wife Karren. She is a bowl of Pho. 

John plays his composition and imagines his wife crying because his song is so touching. He sings about the day he met Karren, about how they fell in love, about how they complete each other. 

Suddenly, John stops playing. He takes his notepad, crosses out some words and scribbles some notes. He has a great idea.
 
The day you found me
I was flying blind
Now I see the light
I’m willing to fight
For you

John is happy with his new lyrics. He takes his guitar again and plays his love song from the 
beginning. Then, he hears a beautiful sound. But it’s not coming from his guitar. It’s coming from inside the house. It’s his amazing, lovely wife calling his name.

The Chinese 4 tones must be the most difficult part for most students. but it is also the most important part for Chinese language learning, a little change of the tones will change the meaning of the sentence, for example, wǒ wèn nǐ means I ask you, but if you say wǒ wěn nǐ, it will be I kiss you, that’s why we need to focus a lot on learning tones,  in this episode I will show you some useful tips to remember the tones quickly.

Nell'episodio di oggi, esploreremo l'evoluzione affascinante della televisione italiana nel corso dei decenni. Dall'educativo debutto nel 1954 con la Rai, che ha introdotto programmi che entravano nelle case degli italiani "in punta di piedi", fino all'odierna enfasi sull'intrattenimento.
Scopriremo come la televisione italiana abbia navigato tra programmi educativi come "Non è mai troppo tardi" che hanno combattuto l'analfabetismo e programmi controversi come "Il Grande Fratello" e "Uomini e Donne" ancora in onda oggi, rappresentando l'idea di successo per molti spettatori.
Questo episodio offre uno sguardo approfondito sulla trasformazione della televisione italiana e le implicazioni culturali di questa evoluzione.

Traditional Chinese Medicine subject considers cold things will cause the body to get cold which influences Yang deficiency or blood stasis. When I was little, my mother always told me that don’t drink cold water, eat less ice cream, instead of that, drink hot water. 

But, if you want an iced drink, what can you do? It’s elementary, just say:  
我要冰的。 Wǒ yào bīng de – I want the cold one.’ ’冰’‘s meaning is ‘冰凉的（ice-cold）’。In the south of China, they use another word too, ‘冻(dòng)’.So, if you’re in Guangdong, you can also say such as’我要冻的- I want the cold one.’ or 冻啤酒(ice beer)’ and so on.
