“了”：①助词，动作的实现、完成；②语气词，某种状态的改变、新情况的出现。（“了”有很多用法）
今天我们先来说其中一种用法：动作的完成或者是状态的实现。
例子：吃了3个桃子。买了一双鞋子。下了课就去看电影。（动词-动作的完成）
           今年我弟长高了2厘米。经过3个月的努力，我瘦了10斤。他白了脸说：吓死我了！（形容词-状态的实现）
           我对他有了新的看法。没了信心。（状态的存在）
           他答应了我的求婚。你竟然相信了她的话。（心理状态）
           她病了很多年，只能躺着。自从他的爱人死了，他就疯了。（状态动词）
           我儿子在他的保温杯里养了一条鱼。床上躺了一个老人。（含“状态”的语义特征）
问题思考：今天讲的“了”是英语中的过去时吗？

Discover colourful fish, funny penguins, and graceful rays as we learn about the ocean and why it's important to protect it.

"Welcome to our podcast, Playful English Proficiency!

I'm your host, Adalet, and today we're going on an amazing adventure to the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town, South Africa. Get ready to explore the underwater world and meet some incredible sea animals!

The aquarium is in Cape Town, where you can see a beautiful big mountain called Table Mountain. It's called the Two Oceans Aquarium because two oceans meet here near Cape Town: the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.

Inside the aquarium, I saw lots of bright tropical fish, like clownfish and pretty pink anemones. They looked so beautiful!

I also saw some funny penguins. There were penguins from South Africa called African penguins, and they were really noisy! They walked around and made loud noises, like donkeys. I love their adorable little waddle.

Next, I found some penguins called rock hoppers. Now, they jumped on rocks just like their name. It was so fun to watch them! Later, they were swimming in a big tank, and it looked like they were flying underwater!"
