Mu5735飞机失事
关注新闻的你一定注意到了，这个星期，和中国有关的新闻始终是飞机失事。是的，在2022年3月21日，一架从中国昆明飞往中国广州的飞机在飞行了一个多小时后坠毁了。飞机上共有机组9人，旅客123人。他们全部遇难。
事情发生后，全国震惊。医生、警察、飞行专家等纷纷赶往事发地，经过了十几个小时的调查和研究，他们找到了失事飞机和人员身体的部分碎片，如今，飞机为什么会突然坠毁？飞行员为什么没有报告飞机的异常情况？这些问题或许永远得不到解决。我们看到的是，旅客家属的悲痛与伤心。
飞机上最小的旅客刚刚一岁多，她得了很奇怪的病。爸爸妈妈向亲戚朋友借了一些钱打算带他去广州治病。孩子的妈妈耳朵有问题，她什么都听不到。孩子的爸爸是一个普通的农民。这是一家人第一次坐飞机，也是最后一次坐飞机。一岁多的孩子，还没来得及体验这个世界，就着急地离开了。
警察在事发地找到了一个黑色的蝴蝶结，它静静地躺在那儿。这个蝴蝶结是女生收到的生日礼物，很难想象，送礼物的人现在面临着多大的伤心。
明天和意外，你永远不知道哪一个会先来，但是明天总会来，只是如果意外先来了，明天就会是所有人的明天，但它不属于你。珍惜现在，珍惜你身边的每一个人。

From Dating to Marriage: 怎么用中文描述这些亲密关系？

In this episode, you will learn the French sound /ə/, also called the silent or muted ‘e’.

We start with a simple, everyday situation where the sound naturally appears – when someone hesitates and says “euh…”, just like in French conversation. Then, you’ll practice the sound in common French words and simple sentences.
--------------------
Transcription

Bonjour !
Aujourd’hui, on va apprendre un petit son très courant en français : le /ə/

Vous l’avez sûrement déjà entendu. 
Par exemple, quand quelqu’un hésite et dit : 
- Tu veux venir au parc ?
- Euh… je veux bien.

Vous entendez ce “euh…” ? 
Et le “je” ? 
C’est exactement le son que nous allons pratiquer. 
Il est léger, discret, mais très fréquent. 

------
Le son E muet dans d’autres langues
Pour vous aider à le reconnaître, écoutez comment ce son existe ailleurs.
En anglais, on l’entend dans about 
En allemand, on l’entend dans bitte ou Tasche
Vous voyez ? 
C’est un petit son très léger, presque comme un souffle. [pause]

------
Le son E muet dans des mots français
Répétez après moi : 
je 
le 
de 
joyeux 
mercredi 
cerise 
leçon 
Ouvrez légèrement la bouche et laissez le son sortir doucement. 
Répétez lentement, puis un peu plus vite. 

------
Mini exercice 
Maintenant, essayons des phrases simples. 
Répétez après moi.
"Je suis joyeux."
"Le bébé est joyeux."
"Le chat est sur la table."
"Je mange une cerise."
"Mercredi, le chat dort sur le canapé."
Répétez plusieurs fois. 
Faites attention au E muet /ə dans chaque mot. 

------
Conclusion
Bravo ! 
Aujourd’hui, vous avez pratiqué le E muet en français. 
Vous l’avez entendu dans des mots simples et dans des phrases naturelles. 
Répétez-les tous les jours, et ce son deviendra naturel. 

À bientôt ! 

French pronounciation

How to Pronounce the French sound ‘E’ - /ə/

“Concentrating, especially when i need to really hit the books, or work on an assignment with a deadline is something I can say I’ve honestly had a big problem with over the years,mainly because of the distractions caused by my mobile phone. I often racked my brains on how to best deal with the problem as it was really interfering with my studies.  However, one of my classmates who also had a similar problem recently recommended an app to me, which he absolutely swears by, and told me how it has helped him so much.

The app in question is called Forest, and the main idea, as well as setting it up is as easy as pie. You open the app, and say you want to plant a tree,and then you put the phone down. If you lift your phone or open another app after this your tree will die. However if you can last 25 minutes, your tree will live, and you can then aim to build a whole forest.




As simple as this app is, I have found it to be a massive help in improving my concentration, as well keeping me from being distracted by my mobile. It has definitely made me become more productive in my studies, and I now get my assignments finished on time, without having to stay up all night burning the midnight oil. This very simple app has really been a godsend and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who finds their mobile a distraction.
