SWE #2 My Hard Drive Died

听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

今天的话题是，你喜欢住在大城市，还是小城市呢？在我看来，它们。大城市有很多精彩的活动，也非常的包容。包容的意思就是，大城市能理解各种各样的人。相对来说，小城市就没有那么包容。因为小城市甚至乡村居住的人们见识比较少。而大城市的人们见多识广，如果你有比较小众的爱好，大城市的人见怪不怪，小城市的人可能会对你另眼相看呢。

大城市的压力也比较大。相比小城市，人们更难在大城市生存，因为生活水平高，消费也贵。在中国的大城市比如北京、上海和广州，消费可以非常的高，而收入却有高有低。为了生存，人们必须有很强的赚钱能力。小城市就比较安逸了，消费不高，生活节奏不快，人也随和。

你喜欢大城市还是小城市呢？欢迎留言，感谢收听，希望你喜欢，我们下次见。

LISTENING AND COMPREHENSION OF SPANISH PARAGRAPH 

Wat-san appears in "Minna no Nihongo," but can everyone pronounce the name correctly?

It's Wat, not "Waat." This pronunciation is very important. Many students pronounce it without properly stopping the sound. Even if you don't pronounce "Wat-san" correctly, most people will understand. However, many similar words will come up later, such as "kite," "kitte," "kaite," and "katte."

If you don't properly skip the small "っ," even Japanese people can get confused often.

Please try pronouncing it once: "Wat-san." You shouldn’t hold your breath tightly in your stomach. You also shouldn’t hold the air in your mouth. If you do, you’ll definitely end up saying "Waat-san" again. Use a little of your throat and stomach. It’s "Wat-san."

OK, that’s it for today.

Oh, regarding my course, the "Minna no Nihongo Course" and "Minna no Nihongo Group Lesson" are currently half price for the first time. If you're interested, please give it a try. Good luck with your studies! Bye!
