We were only in Namibia for a very short time, but it was still brilliant! We crossed the border from Angola and went along the Caprivi strip, making our way to Botswana. We had a few animal encounters, and a bit of a problem at the border...

📝 다시 핫플이 된 이곳, 청와대

원래는 대통령이 일하던 곳이었던 청와대,  
2022년 일반에 개방된 이후 서울의 명소가 되었죠.  
그런데 조기 대선을 앞두고 다시 사람들이 몰리고 있습니다.  
다음 정부가 청와대를 다시 집무실로 쓰게 된다면  
더는 자유롭게 방문할 수 없을지도 모르기 때문이에요.

이번 에피소드에서 그 이유를 함께 들어보세요!

[ZamZamPod] EP.6 Why Everyone’s Rushing to the Blue House | 다시 핫플이 된 이곳, 청와대

Hello, Everyone. This is a continuation of my previous post. The alphabet is very important. Because after knowing how to pronounce the letters of the alphabet correctly, you will be invited to practice simple reading. In this context simple reading is like: reading colors and numbers. In reading practice, you must know the syllables so that you can read correctly.

In this episode we will talk about 【微信 Wechat】, you will learn how to say 【Social media,like,comment】 ect. The material helps you get used to different voice and accent. 
--------------------------------------------------
It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary)
Step 2: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.
Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家分享一些【社交媒体】相关的词。
国外社交媒体平台有:Facebook（脸书）、Instagram（ins）、Twitter（推特）等等。中国用得最多的社交软件有微信（wechat）、微博（MicroBlog）、抖音（Tik-tok）等等。
我们先来看看跟微信有关的词。在中国，几乎每个人都有微信。微信可以用来发信息，发语音（信息），打语音电话，打视频电话。除了一对一聊天，还有很多微信群，家人群，朋友群，工作群。我们还可以用微信来付款，转账，发红包。付款的时候可以你扫商家的二维码，或者商家扫你的付款码。所以买东西的时候经常会听到这样的话：“我扫你，还是你扫我？”转账的金额可以比较高，每天最高可转账20万元。发红包的金额最高是一个200块，一般用在朋友和家人间。例如我朋友生日的时候，我会给他发一个188.88的红包，因为8在中国是一个幸运的数字。
认识一个新朋友的时候，我们一般会加微信。扫对方的二维码就可以添加好友，对方通过后你们就是微信好友了。你可以根据关系把他分组，例如家人，朋友，同事。如果你不想和一个人再聊天了，可以删他(的)微信，甚至是拉黑他。
微信还有一个功能叫朋友圈。我们可以在朋友圈发文字，图片，视频。你的微信好友可以给你点赞，评论。如果你发的朋友圈只想给一部分人看，那就设置分组可见，只有你选择的组可以看到你发的朋友圈。
微信的功能还有很多，公众号可以看文章，视频号可以看视频，小程序可以快速地使用很多常见的手机软件。点外卖，购物，医院挂号等等都可以通过微信。可以说，我们的生活根本离不开微信了。
你用过微信吗？你最喜欢什么功能？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice, and the Fox's mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them.

The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. So he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Again and again he tried, but in vain.

Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in disgust.

"What a fool I am," he said. "Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for."

And off he walked very, very scornfully.

There are many who pretend to despise and belittle that which is beyond their reach.
