How to learn new vocabulary 

The head brewmaster for Weihenstephan, the world's oldest brewery, has a secret: he really likes alcohol-free beer.

Even though he's quick to say he obviously enjoys real beer more, Tobias Zollo says he savors alcohol-free beer when he's working or eating lunch. It has the same taste but fewer calories than regular beer because the alcohol has been removed.

"You can't drink beer every day — unfortunately," he joked at the brewery in the German town of Freising, about 31 kilometers north of Munich.

Alcohol-free beer has been gaining popularity in recent years as beer consumption shrinks.

At the Weihenstephan brewery, which was founded in 1040, non-alcoholic beer now makes up 10% of the volume. The increase since they started making alcohol-free drinks in the 1990s, mirrors the statistics for the rest of Germany's beer industry.

"The people are unfortunately — I have to say that as a brewer — unfortunately drinking less beer," said Zollo. "If there's an alternative to have the crisp and fresh taste from a typical Weihenstephan beer, but just as a non-alcoholic version, we want to do that."

This summer, Munich's first alcohol-free beer garden opened near the city's main train station. And even at Oktoberfest alcohol-free beer is on the menu.

The festival, which began on September 21 and continues until October 6, has 18 large tents and all but two of them offer alcohol-free beer. The sober beverage costs the same as an alcoholic beer — between $15 and $17 for a 1-liter mug — but saves drinkers from a hangover.

"For people who don't like to drink alcohol and want to enjoy the Oktoberfest as well, I think it's a good option," Mikael Caselitz, 24, of Munich said at the festival. "Sometimes people feel like they have more fun with alcohol, which is not a good thing because you can also have fun without alcohol."

He added: "If you want to come and drink alcohol-free beer, nobody will judge you."

내가 경험한 한국의 옷 스타일

나는 한국에서 여러 가지 옷 스타일을 경험했다. 계절마다, 그리고 상황마다 사람들이 입는 옷이 달랐다. 처음 한국에 왔을 때, 나는 한국 사람들의 패션이 참 멋있다고 생각했다.

한복을 처음 입어 본 날
나는 설날에 친구 집에 초대받았다. 친구의 가족은 모두 한복을 입고 있었다. 나도 처음으로 한복을 입어 보았다. 여자 한복은 화려한 색의 치마와 저고리가 있었다. 옷이 불편할 줄 알았는데, 생각보다 편하고 예뻤다. 친구 어머니는 “한복이 참 잘 어울린다”라고 칭찬해 주셨다. 한복을 입고 사진도 많이 찍었다.

한국에서 처음 쇼핑한 날
한국에는 예쁜 옷이 정말 많다. 나는 처음으로 홍대에서 옷을 사 보았다. 홍대에는 스트리트 패션을 입은 사람들이 많았다. 큰 후드티, 청바지, 스니커즈를 입은 사람들이 많았다. 나도 그 스타일이 마음에 들어서 오버사이즈 후드티와 청바지를 샀다. 그 옷을 입고 나니까 한국 사람이 된 것 같아서 기분이 좋았다.

겨울 패딩의 필요성
한국 겨울은 정말 춥다. 나는 원래 두꺼운 옷을 좋아하지 않았지만, 한국에서 겨울을 나기 위해 패딩을 샀다. 친구들은 “한국 겨울에는 패딩이 필수야!”라고 말했다. 나는 긴 패딩을 사고 나서야 겨울을 따뜻하게 보낼 수 있었다. 이제는 한국 사람들처럼 패딩을 입고, 장갑과 목도리까지 준비한다.

K-패션 따라 하기
나는 한국 드라마와 K-팝을 좋아한다. 아이돌들이 입는 옷이 예뻐서 비슷한 스타일로 입어 보고 싶었다. 그래서 친구들과 함께 명동에서 쇼핑을 했다. 큰 코트, 부츠, 귀여운 가방을 사서 입어 보았다. 거울을 보니 드라마 속 주인공이 된 것 같았다.

이렇게 한국에서 다양한 옷 스타일을 경험하면서, 나도 점점 한국 패션을 이해하게 되었다. 이제는 계절에 맞게 옷을 잘 입고, 쇼핑도 즐겁게 한다. 한국에서 옷을 입는 재미를 알게 되어 기쁘다! 😊

不管你是不是球迷，接下来这一个多月世界杯这三个字将会充斥在你的耳边。先介绍一下背景，卡塔尔世界杯，世界杯是4年一次，这是第22届。这一次世界杯也创造了历史上的很多第一次。第一次在中东举行，第一次11月份举行，以及第一次花费如此巨大。当然这三件事情是完全关联的。由于主办地在卡塔尔，位于中东地区，气候炎热，正常举办世界杯的六七月份卡塔尔四五十度的天气显然是不适合体育运动的，所以改到了11月份。而卡塔尔为了这一届世界杯特地新建了8座超豪华的球场，100多个新的酒店，一条新的地铁以及新的机场。这让他们的总花费超过了2,200亿美金。这是什么概念呢？4年前的俄罗斯世界杯140亿美金已经是史上之最，而这次的投入直接拉大了一个量级。介绍完背景，再说一个最基础的点。本次世界杯是来自于五大洲32个不同的国家队参加的比赛，所以不同于英超、西甲、欧冠这样子的俱乐部比赛。你可能听说过的曼联、皇马、巴萨、拜仁不会参加世界杯比赛。那么第3个问题就来了，国家队这么多又没有中国队，我应该怎么看比赛呢？作为刚开始看球或者没看过球的朋友来说，那一定是看一些比较精彩的比赛或者关注度比较高的比赛，基本就等同于强队的比赛。这是目前夺冠赔率最高的十支球队，很显然他们的比赛关注度和精彩程度都相对来说会高一点。尤其是德国和西班牙，丹麦和法国还同分一组。这一届世界杯的比赛时间不算很差，当然也不算特别友好。虽然卡塔尔和咱们同属亚洲，但是还是有5个小时的时差。小组赛前两轮，还有一些时间比较友好的比赛，比如6点和9点。从小组赛第3轮开始，比赛时间相对来说就不是很好，都是晚上11点和3点这个时间点。当然了，对于老球迷来说这些时间点并不陌生。如果你只想看非常高水平的强强对话，小组赛里面为你挑出了这5场比赛。很不巧，都是比较深夜的时间，而且刚好是连续三天晚上的深夜。进入淘汰赛，基本上应该都是强强对话了。即使有可能会出现黑马，它的实力当然也会非常不俗。最后到底是哪两支球队站在12月18号的决赛赛场上，我们拭目以待。
