大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【外卖】的话题。
网上有一个采访外国人的视频，问他们最想把中国的什么东西带回自己的国家。有的人说中国的食物，有的人说中国的快递，有的人说微信，有的人说外卖。我现在生活在国外，我也很想念中国的外卖。其他国家也有外卖，我觉得中国外卖最大的特点是又多又快又便宜。
首先，中国外卖选择多。我们有两个点外卖的软件，一个是黄色的美团外卖，一个是蓝色的饿了么。打开软件，你可以看到二十多个分类，例如粉面、烧烤、快餐、咖啡奶茶、汉堡薯条等等。点开每一个分类，都有无数的商家可以选择，每个商家里面都有很多菜可以选择。你还可以选择自己的口味，例如辣度，微辣、少辣、中辣还是重辣。
第二，中国外卖很快。我在广州的时候，大部分外卖半个小时内都可以送到，有时候十五分钟就能收到。你点外卖的时候就可以看到大概需要等多少分钟，一般用餐高峰会慢一点儿。如果你很着急，你可以选择派送时间更短的店。
第三，中国外卖很便宜。很多的店都有特价菜，而且派送费只要一块钱左右甚至免派送费。如果你是会员，你还可以用红包抵扣。例如20块钱的外卖，你可以用5块钱的红包，那就只需要付15块钱就可以吃到一份饭。有的店还有一些优惠活动，例如买一送一，或者第二份半价。
不过随着中国的物价上涨，外卖也是越来越贵了，而且点外卖的时候你还需要付打包费。如果你在家里吃，可以选择不要餐具，这样可以减少一次性筷子勺子的使用哦。
你经常点外卖吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

How to Pronounce the "ng" in an "ing" word in English

Pronouncing the "ng" sound in "ing" words can be a bit tricky for learners of English, but with practice, it can become second nature. The "ng" sound is a nasal consonant, represented by the phonetic symbol /ŋ/. It is produced by the back of the tongue making contact with the soft part of the roof of the mouth (the velum), while the sound resonates in the nasal cavity.

Here are some tips to help you pronounce the "ng" sound correctly in "ing" words:

1. **Positioning the Tongue**: Start by positioning the back of your tongue against the soft part of your upper mouth, as if you are about to say the sound "k." However, instead of releasing the "k" sound, let the air pass through your nose.

2. **Relax the Tongue**: Keep the tongue relaxed to allow for a smooth nasal sound. Tensing the tongue can make the sound come out more like a "g."

3. **Nasal Resonance**: Focus on directing the airflow through your nose. You should feel a slight vibration in your nasal passages.

4. **Avoid a Hard "g" Sound**: Be careful not to add a hard "g" sound at the end. The "ng" sound is a single, continuous sound rather than a combination of "n" and "g."

Here are ten examples for practice:

1. **Sing**: /sɪŋ/
   - "She loves to sing in the choir."

2. **Ring**: /rɪŋ/
   - "The phone began to ring loudly."

3. **Long**: /lɒŋ/
   - "It's going to be a long day."

4. **King**: /kɪŋ/
   - "The king ruled the land wisely."

5. **Bring**: /brɪŋ/
   - "Please bring your book to class."

6. **Thing**: /θɪŋ/
   - "What's that strange thing over there?"

7. **Going**: /ˈɡoʊɪŋ/
   - "Are you going to the party?"

8. **Swimming**: /ˈswɪmɪŋ/
   - "Swimming is my favorite sport."

9. **Running**: /ˈrʌnɪŋ/
   - "He has been running every morning."

10. **Morning**: /ˈmɔrnɪŋ/
    - "I enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning."
