CHAPITRE 2 : L'HYGIÈNE AU MOYEN ÂGE

Dictée

L'eau est au cœur de la question de l’hygiène au Moyen Âge. Elle est disponible dans les villes grâce à la proximité des sources, telles que rivières, lacs et puits. Nous avons l'habitude de croire que l'homme au Moyen Âge est sale. C'est faux.  Cependant, l'eau courante est très rare et le bain quotidien n'est pas un plaisir accessible à tous. Un seigneur peut avoir dans son château l'eau courante et même une baignoire qu'il prend avec lui dans les voyages. Alors qu'un simple paysan ne connaît le bain que plusieurs fois par an. Malgré cela, il est obligatoire de se laver et surtout de se laver les mains avant et après le repas, car la plupart des gens mangent leurs repas sans couteaux, fourchettes ou cuillères.

CHAPITRE 2_L'hygiène au Moyen Âge_dictée

“I’d really like to participate in a drawing contest, which is organised by my university every year, and the first three prize winners actually go forward to a national drawing contest. I wasn’t so into drawing over the years, but I found that during all the covid lockdowns that it was a great way to pass the time, and really helped me from going stir crazy stuck at home every day during the numerous lockdowns we had.

 

I recently showed some of my friends a few of my sketches, which are mostly landscapes, and they were very complimentary, and suggested that I enter a competition, which gave me a boost of confidence. 

I imagine that the  competition would be pretty stiff for this contest, but i feel confident that i’ve really developed my skills enough over the past year or so, and with my friends and families encouragement have been able to get the nerve up to show off my drawing skills in public.

 

I guess the main reason i’d like to take part in this contest is that i’ve really grown to love drawing, and feel it would actually be a lot of fun to enter, as well as giving me a new challenge which i think i’m now ready for. Another reason is of course the chance of winning a nice prize, and maybe even having my drawing going forward to the national contest, which would really be amazing.

 

Thank you…. “

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【外卖】的话题。
网上有一个采访外国人的视频，问他们最想把中国的什么东西带回自己的国家。有的人说中国的食物，有的人说中国的快递，有的人说微信，有的人说外卖。我现在生活在国外，我也很想念中国的外卖。其他国家也有外卖，我觉得中国外卖最大的特点是又多又快又便宜。
首先，中国外卖选择多。我们有两个点外卖的软件，一个是黄色的美团外卖，一个是蓝色的饿了么。打开软件，你可以看到二十多个分类，例如粉面、烧烤、快餐、咖啡奶茶、汉堡薯条等等。点开每一个分类，都有无数的商家可以选择，每个商家里面都有很多菜可以选择。你还可以选择自己的口味，例如辣度，微辣、少辣、中辣还是重辣。
第二，中国外卖很快。我在广州的时候，大部分外卖半个小时内都可以送到，有时候十五分钟就能收到。你点外卖的时候就可以看到大概需要等多少分钟，一般用餐高峰会慢一点儿。如果你很着急，你可以选择派送时间更短的店。
第三，中国外卖很便宜。很多的店都有特价菜，而且派送费只要一块钱左右甚至免派送费。如果你是会员，你还可以用红包抵扣。例如20块钱的外卖，你可以用5块钱的红包，那就只需要付15块钱就可以吃到一份饭。有的店还有一些优惠活动，例如买一送一，或者第二份半价。
不过随着中国的物价上涨，外卖也是越来越贵了，而且点外卖的时候你还需要付打包费。如果你在家里吃，可以选择不要餐具，这样可以减少一次性筷子勺子的使用哦。
你经常点外卖吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

❌ You don’t speak Spanish badly… you just speak with fear.

En este episodio vamos a romper uno de los bloqueos más comunes (y más injustos) de todos los estudiantes de español: el miedo a hablar.

Spoiler: el problema no es tu acento, no son tus errores, no es tu nivel.

🧠 The real problem is what’s happening in your mind before you speak.

Aquí aprenderás:
✅ Cómo cambiar tu diálogo interno en español.
✅ Por qué hablar con errores es mejor que no hablar.
✅ Frases clave para hablar con más seguridad.
✅ Y cómo dejar de pensar que tienes que sonar perfecto para ser entendido.

🎧 This is your sign to stop waiting for perfection and start using your Spanish. Even with fear. Even with doubt.

Porque no necesitas más teoría… necesitas más valentía.

👉 Dale play y empieza a hablar con confianza.
🔑 Speak with mistakes, speak with fear… but speak.
