Kev's English Podcast: Episode 21: Interview with Wen from China: how she took IELTS and what her successful strategy is!

In questo primo episodio vi leggo una delle mie poesie preferite, intitolata "Ho sceso, dandoti il braccio, almeno un milione di scale". L'autore della poesia è Eugenio Montale (1896-1981).
L'argomento trattato in questa poesia è l'amore provato da Montale per sua moglie, scomparsa da poco. L'amore si mischia al dolore e al malinconico ricordo di quella che è stata la loro vita quotidiana.

In this episode, we’ll dive into the Chinese character “末” and explore its many meanings and uses. From indicating the end of a period (like the end of the month or year) to describing the final stages of a process, "末" is a surprisingly versatile word. I’ll walk you through its different contexts and share some useful examples to help you understand its role in everyday Chinese. Tune in to learn how to use this essential character like a pro:

周末 (zhōu mò)
中文解释：一周的最后两天，通常是指星期六和星期天。
英文解释: The last two days of the week, usually referring to Saturday and Sunday.

月末 (yuè mò)
中文解释：指一个月的末尾，通常是指月的最后几天。

Such a Useful “End”: 末

今日は受験（じゅけん）、とくに入学試験（entrance examination）のお話です。私たちは人生の中で、いったい何回、入学試験を受けなければならないのでしょうか。最近は幼稚園（ようちえん kindergarten）から「お受験」がありますからね。親も子も、大変な時代です。その中に合って、私の受験回数は、多分最小（さいしょう minimun）だと思います。うふふ。えーそれから、日本の教育制度（きょういくせいど education system）と長い長い受験シーズンについても、ご紹介しますね。ちなみに「1千万円   ¥10,000,000≒77，190USD」という、お金の話が出てきますが、日本人が1年で働いてもらうお金の平均（へいきん average）は460万だと言われています。本当に、教育とお金の問題は出口が見えません。
