3 minutes Italian

I verbi di movimento - 3 minutes Italian

Había una vez, en un pequeño estanque rodeado de frondosos árboles y flores coloridas, una tortuguita llamada Tita. Tita era una tortuga muy curiosa y le encantaba explorar todo lo que había a su alrededor.

Un día, Tita escuchó a los patos hablar sobre un gran lago que estaba más allá del bosque. Los patos decían que el lago era tan grande que no se podía ver el otro lado y que había muchas cosas nuevas y emocionantes por descubrir. Tita se llenó de emoción y decidió que quería ver ese lago por sí misma.

Tita sabía que el viaje sería largo y difícil, así que se preparó muy bien. Empacó una mochila con sus cosas favoritas: una hoja de lechuga fresca, una manzana roja y una botellita de agua. También se puso su sombrero de paja para protegerse del sol.

Al día siguiente, Tita se despidió de su familia y amigos del estanque y comenzó su aventura. Caminó despacio, disfrutando del aroma de las flores y el canto de los pájaros. En el camino, se encontró con su amigo Pepo, el conejo.

Así, Tita y Pepo continuaron su viaje juntos. Cruzaron campos verdes, saltaron arroyos y subieron colinas. En el camino, encontraron a Lila, la ardilla, que estaba recogiendo nueces.

—Vamos al gran lago. ¿Quieres venir con nosotros? —invitó Tita.

—¡Claro que sí! —respondió Lila entusiasmada.

El grupo siguió adelante, y a medida que avanzaban, se unieron más amigos: Nilo el pájaro, Gabi la rana y Roco el erizo. Todos estaban emocionados por la aventura y se ayudaban mutuamente cuando el camino se volvía difícil.

Después de varios días de viaje, finalmente llegaron al borde del gran lago. Todos quedaron maravillados por su inmensidad y belleza. El agua era cristalina y podían ver peces de colores nadando alegremente. Había altos árboles alrededor y flores de todos los colores que adornaban la orilla.

—¡Lo logramos! —exclamó Tita, feliz de haber llegado.

El Viaje de Tita la Tortuga

You're lying on the couch, bored, looking at videos on TikTok or YouTube. You watch a video of a dog swimming, and then switch to a cooking video, then to someone doing a weird dance.

But it doesn't help your boredom.

In fact, according to new research, it could make it even worse.

Researchers in Canada found that switching from one video to another, or moving forward or backward in the same video, can increase feelings of boredom.

In a study published by the American Psychological Association, the researchers did several experiments with more than 1,200 people.

In one experiment, participants were first given seven different five-minute videos they could switch between over 10 minutes. They were then given one 10-minute video to watch, without being able to fast-forward.

The participants reported lower levels of boredom when they watched the single 10-minute video, and found the experience to be more engaging and meaningful than when they switched between the shorter videos.

In another experiment, participants were found to be less bored when they watched a single 10-minute video than when they were given 10 minutes to skip forward and backward through a 50-minute video.

Katy Tam, one of the researchers, said digital switching — switching between videos or within a video itself — can make watching something feel meaningless, because you don't have time to engage with it or understand it.

"If people want a more enjoyable experience when watching videos, they can try to stay focused on the content and minimize digital switching," she said. "Just like paying for a more immersive experience in a movie theater, more enjoyment comes from immersing oneself in online videos rather than swiping through them."

大家好，我是Yuli。
这个星期中国最火的话题之一是新东方直播。新东方是一家教育培训公司，是做出国的英语培训起家的，后来也做中小学基础教育。因为疫情影响，出国的人变少了。2021年7月中国开始实施“双减”政策。第一、减轻义务教育阶段学生的作业负担，第二、减轻校外培训负担。这个政策对教育培训机构造成了巨大的影响，很多老师失业，机构也不得不开始转型。
新东方在2021年底开始了直播带货，卖农产品。但是一开始并没有什么人关注，直播间只有几十个人观看。经过半年的坚持努力，新东方直播间从最初平均单场直播销售额不足30万，逆袭为现在的单场平均销售额近1500万。3天时间，粉丝增加近160万，销售额增加1777万元。
他们是如何做到的呢？今年6月份以来，“新东方直播间”队伍登场，带货主播都是新东方的英语老师。他们一边说英语，一边介绍产品。网友开玩笑说，买个东西还可以免费学英语。其中人气最高的是董宇辉，他不仅幽默，还很有才华。在他的直播间，你不仅可以学英语，还可以听他讲优美的诗词。他会分享他的经验和故事，你会因为他的坚持和乐观而感动。
董老师的一段话让我很感动，他对那些经历过痛苦的人说：“运气可能会来也可能不会来，但是这不影响你本来要坚守的心。痛苦是对的，痛苦源于对现状的不满。痛苦的人才有欲望去改变一切。痛苦就是力量” 
希望他的话也能鼓励到你。我们下期见。

In questo podcast parlo di Medellìn, una delle città più conosciute della Colombia, come è cambiata dopo essere stata al centro delle dispute tra i gruppi armati per poco più di trent'anni, e adesso come si è trasformata in una città allegra, attiva non soltanto a livello economico ma anche culturale; come la gente ha cambiato la loro storia e adesso è una città bella e piena di arte. A livello grammaticale: uso dei tempi dell'indicativo: presente, passato prossimo; condizionale. Vocabolario dei viaggi, luoghi da visitare a Medellìn.
