今天我们学商务合同的基础，还有5个重要汉语词。
 
第一个词，商务合同（shāng wù hé tóng，commercial contract），就是商务活动里，比如外贸合作，要先签商务合同。双方写清楚谁该做什么、谁可以要求做什么。
 
然后是甲方（jiǎ fāng ,buyer）和乙方（yǐ fāng,seller），合同里的两个主要公司，比如甲方买货物，乙方卖货物。
 
还有标的（biāo dì,Subject Matter），就是合同里大家约定的东西，比如1000台电脑。最后是权利（quán lì，Rights）和义务（yì wù，Obligations），权利是“可以要求做的事”，比如甲方可以查货物质量；义务是“必须做的事”，比如乙方必须按时送货。

今天想和大家聊一聊【高考】的话题。
大家知道高考吗？高考就是高三的学生为了上大学而参加的考试。在中国，高考的时间一般是6月7号、8号。
第一个原因是天气，每年这两天的天气是比较好的。第二个原因是寓意。6、7、8连着读，听起来像“录取吧”，这是大家对考生们的深深祝福。
高考成绩一般在考后15到20天出来，2022年高考成绩公布时间在6月25日前后。上周开始，全国各地的高考成绩都陆续出来了。在网上可以看到很多这样的视频：考生和考生家长看到成绩以后，激动得大哭起来。也有些考生成绩不理想，查完成绩以后非常低落。
那么，高考都考什么科目呢？在传统高考地区，高考考4门科目，即语文、数学、外语和理科综合或文科综合。在实行新高考模式的地区，高考是考6门科目，即语文、数学、外语，物理或历史，以及政治、地理、生物、化学四门当中的两门科目。
成绩出来后就要开始准备填志愿了，每个地方的时间不一样。每个学生可以填6-9个志愿，录取的原则是“分数优先，遵循志愿”。也就是优先录取分数高的学生，以及按照志愿的顺序录取。
祝福考生们能够顺利拿到理想的大学录取通知书，开始他们期待已久的大学生活。
你们国家的高考是什么样的呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

高考 College entrance examination  （Intermediate level）

Whether you're going on vacation, a business trip or to see friends or family for the weekend there is one thing you can't avoid — packing. And many of us pack too much, which might mean heavy bags, paying extra for flights and lots of unpacking.

So, here are a few ideas for how to pack light.

Make a list
This might be the most important thing. Think about what you really need to take — and if you're flying, how much luggage you're allowed.

Make a list, then see if you can make it shorter, and shorter. This should also make packing quicker, as long as you stick to your list!

Pack small
Do this by rolling up clothes, or you can buy compression bags that squash things into a smaller space inside your luggage. Packing cubes can also help — they're little bags you can use to organize your suitcase.

Forget the "just in case" things
Unless you're going to a place that doesn't have any shops, you don't need to take too much "just in case" stuff. If you find you need something extra, you might even get a good deal in a local market.

Be ready to do some washing
Okay, so this isn't the most exciting idea, but it could save you space. Most hotels offer laundry services or you could even wash your clothes by hand in the bathroom sink if you run out of things to wear!

Wear what you can
If you have big walking boots, wear them on the journey, along with any big jackets that will only waste space in your bag. And don't forget that you'll have to repack everything before returning home!
