A haunted house

粤读时光，看见生命中嘅光。

最近我睇到一篇有趣嘅粤语文章，
读起身琅琅上口，
我觉得好有意思，
所以想分享俾你。

牛耕田, 马食谷, 老窦揾钱仔享福; 
象行田, 马行日, 过河卒仔无退缩; 
兵杀敌, 将闪缩, 功成身退享俸禄; 
男善变, 女易哭, 贫贱夫妻难和睦; 
流水清, 死水浊, 人望高处无满足; 
冰易化, 钱难蓄, 巧妇难煲无米粥; 
水维生, 土长木, 光合作用叶变绿;
赌易学, 书难读, 赌仔何曾买大屋?
命注定, 运难卜, 三衰六旺好难捉; 
仙洒脱, 凡人俗, 犯规和尚食狗肉; 
阳寿尽, 落阴谷, 生老病死乃定局。
趁宜家，仲能郁，快乐享受要知足，
咪再成日困在屋，儿孙自有儿孙福。

呢段话真系几有道理㗎，
呢段话我最中意嘅一句话系，
趁宜家，仲能郁，快乐享受要知足，
人应该学识及时行乐，
而且应该学识知足，
知足系一种对健康生活特别有益嘅感觉，
知足并唔系叫人放弃努力，
而且学识欣赏自己已经拥有嘅一切，
学识看见拥有嘅嘢嘅珍贵性。

粤读时光，看见生活中嘅光。

HSK 3 Lesson 2 Passage 2

Hello everyone, and welcome back to our IELTS Success podcast. Today, we’re diving into a powerful tool for your Speaking test: idioms.
Now, you might be asking, Why idioms? Well, idioms show examiners that you have a natural and flexible command of English. But remember—idioms should sound natural, not forced. Think of them as spices in cooking: a little can make your language richer, too much can overwhelm.
Let’s look at five idioms you can use in real answers.
“Over the moon” – Imagine the examiner asks about a happy experience. You could say: “When I passed my driving test, I was over the moon.”
“A blessing in disguise” – If asked about challenges, try: “Losing my job was tough, but it was a blessing in disguise because it pushed me to study abroad.”
“Hit the nail on the head” – For opinions, you might say: “I think you hit the nail on the head when you said technology connects people.”
“Once in a blue moon” – For frequency questions: “I only go to the cinema once in a blue moon, because I prefer watching movies at home.”
“Burn the midnight oil” – For study habits: “Before exams, I usually burn the midnight oil to revise all the material.”
So, idioms make your answers more engaging and memorable. Practice using them naturally in your daily speech, and you’ll not only impress the examiner—you’ll also sound much more confident.
That’s all for today. Until next time, keep practicing and keep shining!

Beginner Chinese Listening：冬天去哪儿玩儿？Winter travel, where to go?

古时候，有个叫张三的人，他费了好大的劲儿，才积攒下三百两银子，心里很高兴。但他总是怕别人把这些钱偷去，就找了一只箱子，把三百两银子钉在箱中，然后埋在屋后的地底下。

可是他还是不放心，怕别人到这儿来挖，于是就想了一个“巧妙”的办法。他拿出一张纸，写上七个大字:“此地无银三百两”,贴在墙角边,这才放心地走了。
 
谁知道他的举动，都被隔壁的王二看到了。半夜，趁张三熟睡，王二把三百两银子全偷走了。为了不让张三知道，他也在一张纸上写了七个大字:“隔壁王二不曾偷”，也贴在墙上。

张三第二天早上起来,到屋后去看银子，银子不见了，一见纸条，才恍然大悟。

“此地无银三百两”比喻想要用自认为是聪明的手法隐瞒真相，结果反而暴露得更明显。

In ancient times, there was a man named Zhang San. He spent a lot of effort to save 300 taels of silver. He was very happy. But he was always afraid that others would steal the money, so he found a box, nailed the money in the box, and buried it under the ground behind the house.
However, he was still worried that others would come here to dig, so he thought of a "clever" idea. He took out a piece of paper and wrote in seven big characters: "there is no silver here, three hundred taels". He stuck it on the corner of the wall, and then he left with confidence.
Well, what he did, was seen by Wang Er next door. At midnight, while Zhang San was asleep, Wang Er stole all three hundred taels of silver. In order not to let Zhang San know, he also wrote seven big characters on a piece of paper: "Wang Er next door never stole it", which was also pasted on the wall.
Zhang San got up the next morning and went to the back of the house to see the silver. The silver was gone. When he saw the note, he suddenly realized. 

This idiom is a metaphor for trying to hide the truth with a clever trick, but the result is more obvious, a clumsy denial resulting in self-exposure.
