第一章 彼得潘闯了进来

"Senin, Selasa, Rabu, Kamis, Jumat, Sabtu, Minggu, itu nama-nama hari"

Ketika saya kecil, saya diajarkan lagu ini untuk mengingat nama-nama hari. 
Apa kalian juga memiliki cara unik untuk mengingatnya?
Sejujurnya, ada satu hari yang saya tunggu-tunggu setiap minggu. 
Kalian bisa menebaknya? Ya, benar, hari Jumat!
Setiap kali hari Jumat datang, saya merasa senang karena akan ada dua hari libur, 
Sabtu dan Minggu, untuk bersantai.
Omong-omong, tahukah kalian asal-usul nama-nama hari di Indonesia? 
Mari kita bahas satu per satu!

Pertama, Minggu. 
Nama ini diambil dari Bahasa Spanyol dan Portugis, "Domingo", yang berarti "hari Tuhan". 
Juga, ada pengaruh dari Bahasa Arab "Al-ahad", yang juga berarti "satu", karena merupakan hari pertama dalam seminggu. 

Kemudian, Senin. Diadaptasi dari Bahasa Arab "Itsnaani", yang berarti "dua".

Selasa, Rabu, dan Kamis, semuanya berasal dari Bahasa Arab juga, yang berarti "tiga", "empat", dan "lima" secara berurutan.

Bagaimana dengan Jumat? 
Kata "Jumat" diambil dari Bahasa Arab "Jama'a", yang artinya "berkumpul". Di hari ini, umat Islam berkumpul untuk melakukan sholat Jumat di masjid. Kalian sadar tentang hal ini?

Dan Sabtu, hari terakhir dalam seminggu. "Sabtu" berasal dari Bahasa Arab "alsabt" yang berarti "tujuh", serta dari Bahasa Ibrani "sabat", yang artinya "berhenti bekerja". 

Setelah kalian tahu lebih banyak tentang asal-usul nama hari, sekarang apa kalian punya hari favorit lain? 
Selamat menjalani hari ini ya! ^^

Akhir minggu

You know the rules of grammar but you still don't feel fluent? That's because fluency comes from understanding English culture, something a language textbook cannot teach.

Studying English For Years? Add Culture to Advance

Once again, the Mediterranean diet has been named the world's best by US News & World Report.

The diet, which is eaten across the world but is based on foods and recipes from countries around the Mediterranean Sea, has now been at the top of the list for six years.

Its focus on fruit, vegetables, olive oil and fish has helped the Mediterranean diet to the top, according to US News.

A team of experts looked at 24 different diets, putting them in order from best to worst.

There were also a number of different category winners.

The Mediterranean diet was chosen as the best plant-based diet, and, along with the flexitarian diet, it tied as the best for families. It also tied with the DASH diet as the best for healthy bones.

The flexitarian diet encourages people to eat a vegetarian diet most of the time, but still allows some meat.

The DASH diet is meant to help people with high blood pressure. It focuses on fruit, vegetables and whole grains, as well as low-fat products.

The flexitarian and DASH diets also tied for second place on the overall list.

The Mediterranean diet is not exactly the same across all Mediterranean countries, but these countries do share the same basic eating principles.

This low-fat way of eating — which also includes beans and grains, and not much red meat or butter — has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and other health problems.

Speaking to CNN, Gretel Schueller from US News said we can all use these ideas to eat a Mediterranean diet wherever we are in the world.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天是9月29号，农历八月十五号中秋节。今年中秋节和国庆节离得很近，所以今天开始全国放8天假。因为出行的人很多，塞车很严重。即使要花十几个小时甚至更长的时间才能回到家，还是有千千万万的人选择回家过中秋节。为什么中秋节对中国人来说这么重要呢？
中秋节对于中国人来说，最大的意义就是团圆。从唐朝开始，人们就把天上的月圆和人间的团圆联系在一起了。离家在外的人举头望月，思念的是故乡和亲友。中国人重视亲情，阖家团圆便是最好的期盼。每逢中秋来临，中国960万平方公里的大地上，便有无数人奔走起来。他们有个共同的目标，回家。
回家路千千万万，有的回家路横穿中国，从上海到喀什，跨越三个时区，行程一万里。有的回家路沿着城市和乡村，用草原河流呼唤漂泊的游子。有的回家路随大海延伸，中国3.2万公里的海岸线，是对出海人平安回家的等待。有的回家路则是从四面八方，天南海北聚在一起，把他乡变成故乡。
虽然今天人们可以隔着屏幕相连，但与家人的相见，永远是心灵深处的渴望。同一屋檐下共赏明月，幸福平淡也绵长。
月亮，为什么大家都喜欢你？这个中秋，你回家了吗？中秋节快乐。让我们回家追月吧。
