This podcast is really successful

¡Cuenca es única! Ese es el eslogan de la ciudad y la provincia y, la verdad es que no es presuntuoso. Todo el que ha visitado esta provincia o incluso solo la capital, siente que algún recuerdo de esa visita permanecerá para siempre en su memoria porque Cuenca es la belleza de la sencillez.

An anecdote is a quick story about something of interest, usually with a singular theme or lesson. Anecdotes are no different than the stories told among friends, but when they’re used in literature, they can accomplish more than merely passing the time. 


Types of Anecdotes: 
Although there is no formal grouping, anecdotes tend to fall into the categories of 
cautionary, 
characterizing, 
humorous, 
inspirational, 
reminiscent. 

However, these are not mutually exclusive and can be blended together

What Is an Anecdote, and How Do You Write One?

前两天，和学生上课时，讨论起来如果城市是一个人，那么你对这个人的印象是什么样的。聊得非常开心，希望大家和我们一起讨论。
The other day, when I had class with my student, we talked about if we consider a city as a person, what would be the image of your city? We had a very interesting conversation. And I sincerely invite you to join our discussion. 

她说广州像一个小商贩，每天起早贪黑忙忙碌碌。但是他的生意总是做不了很大，一直是马马虎虎的样子。
She said Guangzhou is like a small trader. Working from dawn to dusk, hustling and bustling. But his business is always a small business, hard to expand. 
 
而一海之隔的香港却是个非常成功的生意人，西装革履，派头十足。值得广州好好学习。
Otherwise, Hong Kong which is in the Ocean apart is a very successful businessman. Wear fancy suits, and be very flamboyant. It’s a very good example for Guangzhou.
