I use HSK 1 vocabulary to tell you a Chinese folktale, the Cowherd and the Weaving Maid .

八百年前，有一个人，他有一只牛，他没有钱，他的家很小很小，大家都叫他牛郎。牛郎天天给牛吃好吃的东西，牛很喜欢牛郎。牛郎十八岁了，还没有女朋友。牛郎的牛会说话，有一天，他说，牛郎，你明天工作的时候，晚一点回家，你会看见一个美女，她是你的女朋友。 
天上有一个女人，她很漂亮，大家都叫她织女。织女八岁的时候，喜欢了一个男孩。这个男孩有一只牛。织女在天上工作，她工作的时候，可以看到牛郎。织女很想和牛郎说话。可是她的妈妈说，她太小了，现在还不可以有男朋友。现在织女十六岁了，她很想有一个男朋友。
有一天，她和朋友一起去玩水。她们很高兴，玩了五个小时，还不想回家。晚上六点，她们要回家的时候，下雨了。雨很大。织女的朋友们都飞回家了。可是织女的衣服不见了。这时候，织女听见一个人说：你好，请问这是你的衣服吗？织女不好意思地说：是的，谢谢你。织女看见这个人是牛郎，她心里非常高兴。织女很漂亮，是一个大美女。牛郎很喜欢织女，他很想织女做他女朋友，他说：“现在下大雨，你要不要去我家坐坐？” 织女高兴地说：“很谢谢你，我们去你家吧。” 牛郎做饭给织女吃，织女做漂亮的衣服给牛郎。织女和牛郎住在一起了，他们都很高兴。织女的妈妈知道后，她在天上看织女的男朋友。 她知道牛郎没有钱后，她不高兴了，她不想女儿和牛郎在一起。她叫织女回家。可是织女很喜欢和牛郎住在一起。织女不想回家了。一年后，她和牛郎有一个女儿。他们的女儿很可爱。织女很爱这个家。
织女妈妈知道后很不高兴。她去了牛郎家，带（dài = to bring）织女回家。织女回家后很不高兴，她很想回去牛郎家，看看牛郎和她的女儿。织女的爸爸很爱她，他叫牛郎七月七日来天上，看看织女。牛郎很高兴，他和女儿每年七月七日都会坐牛飞到天上，看织女。

今天想和大家聊一聊【高考】的话题。
大家知道高考吗？高考就是高三的学生为了上大学而参加的考试。在中国，高考的时间一般是6月7号、8号。
第一个原因是天气，每年这两天的天气是比较好的。第二个原因是寓意。6、7、8连着读，听起来像“录取吧”，这是大家对考生们的深深祝福。
高考成绩一般在考后15到20天出来，2022年高考成绩公布时间在6月25日前后。上周开始，全国各地的高考成绩都陆续出来了。在网上可以看到很多这样的视频：考生和考生家长看到成绩以后，激动得大哭起来。也有些考生成绩不理想，查完成绩以后非常低落。
那么，高考都考什么科目呢？在传统高考地区，高考考4门科目，即语文、数学、外语和理科综合或文科综合。在实行新高考模式的地区，高考是考6门科目，即语文、数学、外语，物理或历史，以及政治、地理、生物、化学四门当中的两门科目。
成绩出来后就要开始准备填志愿了，每个地方的时间不一样。每个学生可以填6-9个志愿，录取的原则是“分数优先，遵循志愿”。也就是优先录取分数高的学生，以及按照志愿的顺序录取。
祝福考生们能够顺利拿到理想的大学录取通知书，开始他们期待已久的大学生活。
你们国家的高考是什么样的呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

In this episode, we look at five idioms about meeting new people. Here are the example sentences I use in the podcast:

How did you and Sara meet?
Well, she saw me reading a book she liked, and asked me what I thought of it to strike up a conversation.
It felt a little odd at first, since I had been so focused on the book. Then, she made a joke about how boring we both must be, to read a book like that. It really broke the ice. 
I really wanted to put my best foot forward, so I told her everything I knew about the book and its author. 
Fortunately, she was interested in what I said about the book, and we really hit it off. 
However, when I met her sister, I said the wrong thing and really got off on the wrong foot. She doesn’t like me at all.
