Episodio 10: Las vacaciones

九月九，九个酒迷喝醉酒。
九个酒杯九杯酒，九个酒迷喝九口。
喝罢九口酒，又倒九杯酒。
九个酒迷端起酒，“咕咚、咕咚”又九口。
九杯酒，酒九口，喝罢九个酒迷醉了酒。

Don't do this if want to be a better speaker!!!

了解自己的人就是朋友，所以汉语中“知己”的意思就是朋友。我们都希望跟诚实的人交朋友，跟这样的人在一起我们觉得快乐，觉得放心。我们一般还喜欢跟那些性格、爱好差不多的人交朋友，因为性格、爱好相同的人有很多的共同语言。当然，跟性格、爱好不同的人也可以成为好朋友，有人就喜欢跟自己不一样的人交朋友。
一般性格外向开朗、说话幽默、脾气好的人比较容易交到朋友，别人也愿意跟他们在一起，​​因为有他们的地方就有笑声​​；性格内向的人不太爱说话，但他们也可以成为最好的朋友，​​好朋友不一定是那些最能说话的人​​。

诚实【chéngshí】-honest
性格【xìnggé】-character; nature; disposition
爱好【àihào】-hobby
外向【wàixiàng】-extroversive
开朗【kāilǎng】-sanguine
幽默【yōumò】-humorous
脾气【píqi】-temperament
内向【nèixiàng】-introversive
