大家好，您正在收听中文播客《丹霞说》，我是丹霞。

01 白雪放假啦！Báixuě fàng jià la! Baixue is on holiday!

今天，白雪告诉我，下个星期她有七天的假期，这是她的年假。她跟我分享了她的计划。

放假的时候，她一点儿也不想待在家里。因为她非常喜欢运动，所以她打算下个星期每天都去锻炼锻炼。她觉得工作日的时候，每天待在办公室八九个小时，需要坐在电脑前面很长时间。如果不运动，身体会慢慢变得不健康。

星期一早上她打算去公园跑步；
星期二她可能去游泳；
星期三她和朋友们去打篮球；
星期四她想去小河边骑自行车；
星期五她会去爬山。
星期六她不出门儿，她得打扫一下儿她的家，然后喝喝咖啡看看书，好好儿休息一下儿。

她问我星期天有没有空，她想和我一起去买衣服，吃饭和看电影。我高兴地答应了！真希望星期天快点儿来呀！

这些词语你知道吗？

Today, Bai Xue told me that she has seven days' holiday next week, which is her annual leave. She shared her plan with me.

She doesn't want to stay at home at all during the holiday. Because she likes sports very much, she plans to exercise every day next week. She felt that she needed to sit in front of the computer for a long time when she stayed in the office for 8 or 9 hours every day on weekdays. If don't exercise, body will slowly become unhealthy.

She is going to run in the park on Monday morning;

She may go swimming on Tuesday;

On Wednesday, she went to play basketball with her friends;

On Thursday, she wants to go cycling by the river;

She will go climbing on Friday.

She doesn't go out on Saturday. She has to clean her house, drink coffee, read books and have a good rest.


She asked me if I was free on Sunday. She wanted to go shopping, dinning out and watching movies with me. I said yes happily! I really hope this Sunday come soon!

 HSK3 Vocab Based - Short Story Podcast

01 白雪放假啦！Báixuě fàng jià la! Baixue is on holiday!

Self introduction!  

Hello to all of you! I’m Ann, and I was born in a town in Iloilo, about 30 kilometers away from the city. Our home was surrounded by a small coffee plantation, with trees like mango, coconut, cacao, and many other tropical or native fruits — it really felt like paradise! We also had plenty of animals around — chickens, geese, ducks, goats, pigs, cows, and even a carabao — and a small rice field. That was my childhood — simple, yet full of joy and natural beauty.

Now, I carry those memories and stories with me here on the podcast Ma-HILIGAYNON Ta!

I still clearly remember how we used to walk about 3 kilometers just to get to school when my siblings and I were in elementary. It was only when I got to high school that we moved closer to the highway. During the rainy season, we’d walk barefoot through rice paddies and small streams, carrying our school shoes and supplies. We would wash our muddy feet in a little stream beside the road before waiting for our favorite tricycle driver to pass by and take us to school.

You know, it’s only now that I realize how tough that was — but back then, it all felt like fun. I never even thought of it as difficult, especially for young schoolgirls like me.

We had a very loyal dog — his name was Burgo. He looked like he came from a police breed, maybe part German Shepherd mixed with a native dog. He was a gift from my grandfather. He was my companion through every silly adventure and farm chore.

Want to hear more of my stories? Just follow my podcast! Let’s keep talking — see you in Ma-HILIGAYNON Ta! This is Ann — padayon lang, abyan (keep going, friend).

We’ll learn more measure words from a song. Before our reading,  let’s familiar with the number counting as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,10
And then upgrade to the unit of count to hundred ‘百bǎi’,  then to  thousand ‘千qiān’,  to ten thousand ‘万wàn’, and a hundred million is ‘亿yì’.

"Hold up your head! You were not made for failure; you were made for victory."

A 30-day positive affirmation journey with Rose

Day 25

We have a lot of rain during Tsuyu, which is rainy seaon in Japan.  It's especially hot and muggy in this season from the end of July to mid. July.  I think we've had more rain than usual this year. Because of that, there are damages in various places.

今日は2023年7月13日。　
今年の梅雨は　ほんとうによく雨が降ります。
６月の終わりごろ、テレビで天気予報を聞いていたら、こんなことを言っていました。日本は、沖縄で梅雨が明けたら、九州、四国、本州、北海道が　梅雨に入ると。　
今年２０２３年は　６月２５日に沖縄の梅雨が明けました。　そして、入れ替わるように、日本のほとんどが梅雨入りしました。　
日本気象協会の雨雲レーダーの過去の記録を見てみました。６月―７月は雨雲が日本列島にかかっていない日は、ほとんどないぐらい　日本のどこかで雨が降っています。
私が住んでいるところは、あまり強い雨が降っていませんが、今年は九州や日本海側の雨がすごいです。　線状降水帯という現象が発生しています。これは、雨雲が次々と大きくなってつながり、数時間、同じ場所に　はげしい雨が降る現象です。　例えば、３時間に約２００～３００ミリを超える雨が降ったりします。このように、短い時間に　たくさんの雨が降るので、川から水があふれだしたり、山が崩れたりします。　早めに安全な場所に逃げることができればいいのですが、夜　寝ている時や朝早い時間に　起きると、逃げることもできない人もいます。　今年も　土砂崩れが起きて、家が押しつぶされたというニュースをいくつか聞きました。運よく助かる人のいれば、残念ながら　土砂崩れに巻き込まれてしまう人もいます。　
今日も朝からずっと　曇り空。夕方になって、雷が鳴りだし、雨も降りだしました。私の部屋は　気温28℃、湿度６０％です。部屋の中はエアコンをつけているので、たぶん、外の気温と湿度はもう少し高いでしょう。　気象庁の梅雨明けの予想は７月１８日ごろからとなっています。梅雨が明ければ、夏本番！　日差しが一段ときつくなります。　体調をくずさないようにしたいものです。皆さんも、お気を付けてお過ごしくださいね。
