大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天我们来聊一聊【疫情】的话题。
中国的疫情是2019年底开始的。我记得那一年的春节，我回了老家。每天在电视上看到武汉疫情的报道，觉得很难过。假期结束后要回广州上班，一路上戴着口罩，有点害怕。每天进公司和进小区都要测体温。外卖只能送到小区门口，自己去拿，也不可以在饭店里吃饭。
疫情不太严重的时候，我们的生活正常一点，但是去外面也要戴口罩。有一段时间国内没有疫情，国内旅游也正常了。但是因为有国外回来的人，很难一直都是正常的。如果一个地方出现新的疫情，很多人都要去做核酸。严重的时候，这个地方所有的人都要去做核酸。
时间过得很快，疫情已经两年多了。虽然我们已经习惯了戴口罩的生活，但是它真的改变了我们的生活。
最大的改变是很多东西都发展为线上了。特别是疫情严重的时候，大家只能在家里。于是上班族开始在家办公，学生开始上网课。因为不能去健身房，很多人买了健身的东西，在家里健身。因为不能出去吃饭，很多人都是用手机叫外卖，或者开始学习做饭。因为不能像以前一样出去旅游，这几年野餐和露营的人越来越多。野餐和露营不需要去很远的地方，买一些食物，就可以和家人朋友一起去玩了。
疫情对经济的影响是最大的。商店的生意变得很差，因为只要有疫情影响，他们很可能就得关门。换工作的人比以前少了，因为经济不好，工作不好找。更多的大学毕业生选择了考研和考公务员，因为更稳定。
你们国家的疫情怎么样呢？疫情改变了你的生活吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

疫情 Pandemic （Intermediate level）

What do you think is the most expensive place in the world to live? New York? London? Maybe Tokyo?

While Japan has long had a reputation as an expensive place to live, its cities have been getting cheaper in recent years — with some big changes coming just in the last 12 months.

American consulting company Mercer recently released its 2024 Cost of Living City Ranking, which compares the costs of over 200 items in 226 cities around the world. The results are based on a March 2024 survey, and include things like housing and transportation, as well as food, clothing and entertainment.

All five of the world's most expensive cities are unchanged from last year, with Hong Kong and Singapore again in first and second place. These two Asian cities are followed by three Swiss cities: Zurich, Geneva and Basel.

Bern, another Swiss city, has risen from seventh to sixth place, while New York City has fallen one place to seventh.

However, Tokyo has dropped 30 places to 49th — putting it right after San Juan in Puerto Rico. And Osaka has dropped 53 places to 146th — just ahead of Wuhan in China.

However, the biggest drop since last year was for Lagos in Nigeria, which fell 178 places to 225th. And the least expensive city is now Abuja, Nigeria's capital, at 226th.

Mercer wrote that many big drops were caused by changes in exchange rates. Japan's yen dropped to a 34-year low against the US dollar in March — and hit a 38-year low in early July.

The ranking was also affected by inflation — especially in housing prices — as well as increasing political uncertainty around the world.

Mercer says it's important for companies to look at its cost of living ranking when thinking about sending staff to live abroad.

As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
