Teacher Joseph's Podcast

To Make Light of..... a useful phrase to make a situation better

Cada verano, Alejandro esperaba con ansias visitar la casa de su abuelo Luis. Era una vieja casona en el campo, rodeada de flores silvestres y con un aroma a madera que parecía contar historias. Para Alejandro, los días con su abuelo eran mágicos. Luis era un hombre tranquilo, de palabras sabias y gestos llenos de cariño.

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。

今天的话题是中国的宠物经济。近十年来，随着中国人民生活水平的提高，越来越多的中国人开始饲养宠物。中国的宠物经济也越来越蓬勃发展，形成了涵盖宠物方方面面的“一条龙”服务。包括宠物饲养场、宠物医院、宠物美容院，宠物寄养点甚至宠物殡葬服务。养宠大军的不断扩大，使得宠物经济前景广阔。

在中国，尤其在大城市，单身人群越来越多，许多独居的年轻人或是老年人喜欢养一只猫咪或者狗狗作伴。宠物医生、宠物美容师、宠物摄影师，宠物寄养师、训犬师，宠物派对、宠物spa馆，甚至宠物瑜伽纷纷走俏。

有句话说的好，爱ta就爱一辈子，因为ta的生命中只有你。动物也通人性，养他就给他一辈子的承诺，不要抛弃、遗弃你的猫咪或者狗狗。这是我认为盈利的宠物经济背后，最重要的部分。你说呢？

欢迎留言，感谢收听，希望你喜欢，我们下次见。

In questo podcast parlero del viaggio che ho fatto questa estate sulla West Coast americana, comincerò con alcune cose importanti prima del viaggio come prendere i biglietti in anticipo, prenotare dove dormire, quante cose portare, il noleggio della macchina e l'assicurazione sanitaria tra le altre cose, poi farò una descrizione della mia prima tappa del viaggio: Santa Barbara, com'è la cittá, la spiaggia, il molo, ecc. Come tempi verbali: passato prossimo e passato remoto, imperfetto e presente.
