Episode 1: Die Geschichte Vietnams

分享看剧感受！
朋友们你们好！今天的零食叫做“星期三”。我们来一起边吃边学吧！ 
 ”星期三“是一个女孩的名字。这个小女孩平时全身只穿黑色衣服。而她的表情总是给出一个难以与人相处的印象。她很喜欢侦探推理和那些古怪的东西。

 首先要说的是，我真的被“星期三”的性格吸引了。她活在自己的世界里，不在乎任何人的评价，只有我可以定义自己。这个女孩不仅个性特殊还很有想法，是不是？

说实话，作为一个敏感过度在意他人感受的我，其实是非常累的，所以真的对“星期三”着迷。尤其看到她跳舞那段。看上去有那种舞池中我是主角，欢迎来到我世界的感觉。特别有风格！ 
 然后也不能不提到另外一个很有趣的人物。一直陪着“星期三”是一个叫“小东西”。我十分喜欢“小东西”！那只手是我本剧最爱的设定。你们说，谁不想拥有一只骄傲敏感无所不能的小挂件呢？ 
 “星期三” 这部悬疑的美剧，你看了吗？你喜欢的是什么人物呢？快来告诉我吧！

2022年12月16号 - 最近看了“星期三” - 第一印象！ (Intermediate)

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。

Are you ready to get that idiom monkey off your back and learn 7 more idiomatic expressions to help you improve your IELTS band score?

The idioms in this podcast are quite useful. They should add another string to your bow. In our IELTS speaking exam we should also learn how to paraphrase. Learning how to paraphrase adds a really important string to your bow, as well. In order to gain a band score 6, it’s important to attempt to paraphrase as well as use connectives. Using connectives, like therefore, however, and to be honest, can add another string to your bow.

When we know how to use idioms, we can improve our IELTS band score, because it’s important to use some less common idiomatic vocabulary in your IELTS exam. Idioms are very common and used in everyday daily life. As a rule of thumb, they help the examiner to know if you have spent time studying common idiomatic phrases.

So, keep your chin up. And keep studying. Because idioms are easy to learn. You just have to take the time to learn them, and practice using them. Don’t let learning idioms worry you, because they really are fun. They won’t get you into hot water. Learning idioms cannot get you into trouble. On the contrary, they will show the IELTS examiner that you are dilligent, studious, and hard working. Nobody’s going to hit the roof just because you’ve learned a few idioms. Of course not! No one is going to be angry with you for studying idioms! They are a vital part of your English language skills. Native English speakers use idioms day in, day out.

Don’t forget to take the quiz and learn the meanings of the idioms in this podcast.
