The Language Bro

Episode 2: Reasons we learn languages

Halo! Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? Saya harap semua baik ya! 
Saya punya cerita tentang kamera saya. Saya sudah punya kamera itu dari 5 tahun lalu. Fungsi dan hasil fotonya juga bagus. Tapi, tiba-tiba hari Sabtu lalu, waktu saya memakainya, kamera itu tidak bisa berfungsi! Jadi, saya memutuskan pergi ke toko reparasi kamera untuk coba mereparasinya. Saya kaget, biaya reparasi kamera itu sangat mahal! Biayanya hampir sama dengan biaya membeli kamera baru. 

Lalu, saya bertanya apakah bisa tukar tambah kamera saya dengan kamera baru. “Tukar tambah” di Bahasa Inggris artinya “trade in”, dan di Bahasa Jepang artinya “下取り”. Ya, akhirnya saya bisa menukar kamera saya, dan menambah uang untuk mendapat kamera baru. Saya senang!

Apakah kalian pernah melakukan tukar tambah? Tukar tambah HP lama dengan HP baru? Tukar tambah mobil lama dengan mobil baru? Tapi, jangan tukar tambah pacar lama dengan pacar baru loh! Hahaha…. Ok, hari ini sampai di sini ya. Sampai jumpa lagi! 



Akhir minggu

Tukar tambah

Today we're talking about job interviews. We’re going to look at some vocabulary that you can use to improve how you perform in your next job interview. Or, if you’re writing a CV, cover letter, or a resume, these are words and phrases that you should think about including. Whether you're a student, a graduate, or someone with a lot of experience, job interviews can be scary. Especially if you're not a native English speaker. Hopefully today we can make them a little easier for you! I work with people from all over the world to improve how handle job interviews and hopefully you will find some of that in today's podcast.

4-Year-Old Signs Book Deal to Publish Poems
A 4-year-old boy from the UK has signed a book deal to publish his collection of poems.

Nadim Shamma-Sourgen was discovered by poet and teacher Kate Clanchy, who won the 2020 Orwell Prize for political writing. Clanchy knew Shamma-Sourgen's mother, who teaches the study of poetry at the University of Reading.

Clanchy began sharing Shamma-Sourgen's poems on Twitter, where they became popular with her followers. Speaking to The Guardian, Clanchy said that she didn't share them because they were like an adult's poems, but because they were so much like a child's way of thinking.

The young poet has now signed a book deal with Walker Books, a children's book company, making him one of the youngest writers to get a book deal.

According to Guinness World Records, Dorothy Straight from the US is the youngest female to publish a book. She wrote a book in 1962 when she was 4 years old. It was published in 1964.

The youngest male writer is Thanuwana Serasinghe from Sri Lanka, who wrote a book when he was 4 years and 9 months old. It was published nine days before his 5th birthday.

In an interview with Sky News, Shamma-Sourgen's mother said that he's still learning to read and write, so he speaks his poems out loud and she writes them down for him.

"I like writing poems especially about nature. I feel happy that my poems will be in a book," Shamma-Sourgen told The Guardian. As well as nature, Shamma-Sourgen's poems talk about things like love, being lonely and bugs in his garden.

The book of poems will be published in summer 2021.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【相亲】的话题。
在中国，相亲是一种很常见的找结婚对象的方式。相亲也分为很多种，亲戚介绍，朋友介绍，或者同事介绍。还有一些新的方式，例如在网上的婚恋平台找对象，甚至是参加相亲的电视节目。
有些公园还出现了一个特别的地方“相亲角”。在那里，你可以看到墙上贴着很多纸，上面写着单身男女的个人信息。年龄、身高、学历、工作、收入、对另一半的要求。去那里的基本上是这些单身男女的父母，他们非常希望自己的孩子能早一点找到对象，结婚。
很多人大学毕业以后，家里就开始安排相亲了。我在刚毕业的时候也参加过一次相亲。那个男生是我叔叔的朋友的儿子，因为我们在同一个城市工作，还是老乡，他们觉得很合适。我们加了微信开始聊天，然后一起去吃了几次饭。后面没有成功，因为他希望找一个人早一点结婚，而我还没有准备好要结婚。我觉得这是中国式相亲最大的一个特点，就是“希望早点儿结婚”。那是我第一次相亲，也是最后一次，因为我不喜欢这种要很快结婚的感觉。
我很多回老家工作的女生朋友都是通过相亲结婚的，基本上一年内就会结婚，然后生小孩。在大城市的朋友有通过相亲脱单，也有通过参加活动认识另一半的，单身的人也不少。
我觉得不管是什么形式的相亲，都是一个让我们认识人的机会。最关键的是你要想清楚自己要找什么样的人， 过什么样的生活。
你支持相亲吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
