LOUISE: Hey, Julia … Look at those desserts! How about baking 
some cookies today?
JULIA: Hmm … Yeah, that’s a great idea! While we’re here, let’s 
pick up the ingredients.
JULIA: OK, what do we need?
LOUISE: The recipe calls for flour, sugar and butter. Oh, and we 
also need eggs and chocolate chips.
JULIA: Why don’t you get the dairy ingredients? You’ll find those 
in the refrigerated section in the back of the store. I’ll get 
the dry ingredients — they’re in aisle 10.
LOUISE: Great! Let’s meet at the checkout.
JULIA: OK. See you there.



LANGUAGE NOTES
• How about is a casual way to suggest doing an activity. Notice that “how about” is followed 
by an “-ing” verb.
• Hmm … Notice that Julia pauses for a moment. “Hmm” is an expression used to think about 
something first before speaking.
• That’s a great idea! Notice the emphasis on “great.” Julia has thought about it and then 
decided that she really does want to bake cookies.
• The recipe calls for is a way of saying “the recipe says we need.” The phrase “call for” can 
also be used to talk about the weather forecast. (They’re calling for rain.)
• … flour, sugar and butter. Notice that this is a list, so there are short pauses between each 
item. Notice also that each ingredient is stressed because this information is important.
• Why don’t you … This expression is used to ask someone to do something. It can also be 
used to give advice — but in this case two friends are deciding on who does which task.
• Aisle Notice the silent “s” in aisle. An aisle is an orderly lane in a supermarket, with shelved 
products on both sides. Each aisle has a number, so that it is easy to find what you need.

In this episode, we’ll dive into the subtle differences between two commonly used Chinese words—“交流” (exchange) and “沟通” (communicate). While both involve the transfer of information, their focuses are quite different. By the end of this episode, you'll be able to understand the distinctions between these terms and know when to use each one correctly.

Si hay algo que ha maravillado a locales y viajeros, es el Centro Histórico de Ciudad de México donde se encuentra, por un lado, el Palacio Nacional, la Catedral Metropolitana al frente y al fondo, los vestigios del Imperio Azteca. Llegar a cada uno de ellos es algo muy sencillo, ya que tan sólo los separan unos cuantos metros, por lo que solo necesitarás de tiempo y ganas para conocer su historia.
 
Antes del whatsapp, el correo electrónico, el fax o el telegrama, el servicio postal era la principal vía de comunicación. Muchas personas se mantuvieron en contacto y esperanzadas de recibir noticias desde prácticamente cualquier parte del mundo, gracias a este sistema. México, “Ciudad de los Grandes Palacios” y su auge porfirista de principios del Siglo XX, no podían quedarse atrás. Así fue como se mandó construir un Palacio Postal en el número 1 de la calle de Tacuba.
 
Si conoces la capital mexicana, recordarás de inmediato el edificio, pero si es tu primera vez por el rumbo, estamos seguros de que lo has visto antes. Su fachada de Cantera de Chiluca es inconfundible y elegante. Pero, la opulencia no termina ahí, continúa al interior, donde su mármol italiano y revestimientos en bronce te invitarán a mandar una carta como a la vieja usanza, porque efectivamente sus servicios continúan en operación.
 
Continuando por la zona, pero cruzando el Eje Central Lázaro Cárdenas, se localiza el Palacio de Bellas Artes, un recinto cultural que alberga exposiciones temporales y permanentes de pintura y escultura. Su teatro es tan versátil que ha sido escenario de conciertos de la Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional, Ópera y danza clásica, así como de presentaciones de cantantes como Juan Gabriel, quien supo ganarse un lugar en el preciado sitio.
 
Si avanzas por dentro de la Alameda Central te encontrarás con el Hemiciclo a Juárez, con su deslumbrante color blanco, cortesía del mármol de Carrara con el que fue hecho. Puedes mirarlo de cerca para observar cada uno...
