¿No te ha pasado que estás hablando español, leyendo y te preguntas el origen de la palabra que estás usando o que leíste? A mí sí me ha pasado. Algo que muchos saben, es que el origen de las palabras, particularmente en español proviene del latín, del griego, del árabe, en fin, muchas tienen orígenes llamativos y a mí siempre me ha gustado saber el porqué de las cosas. Escucha, al final puedes comentarme si este origen lo sabías o que creías de la palabra. Suscríbete, comenta para dejar tu opinión, comparte con otros estudiantes de español y hablemos de esto en clase.

It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary)
Step 2: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.
Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

男：最近晚间或者是24小时营业的健身场馆就格外地火爆，这种再晚也能撸铁的空间受到了很多城市年轻人的喜欢。
女：嗯，这种健身房它有全自助方式的无人健身房，也有半自助的。你比如说上午10点到晚上十点是正常营业的，剩余时段是会员自助。像全时段营业、智能化运营、付费方式灵活也成为了24小时健身场馆的卖点。
男：嗯，目前多家24小时健身馆客流人群还是以年轻人为主，当然也得提个醒，医生的建议是饱餐后太过疲惫不适合做运动。另外，保障规律的运动时间也很重要。如果想早上或者是晚上运动，那还是要在不影响睡眠和工作的前提下进行。另外，一个人在健身房练习的时候还要格外注意安全。
女：现如今大家的生活水平越来越高了，我们对于运动健身包括体重管理更重视了，追求健康科学规律的生活是一种生活方式，更是一种生活态度。
男：在这样的地方想运动可以运动，想社交呢也可以社交，想休闲呢也能够独处。一方面是方便，一方面也确实让人感受更自在。
女：其实不仅是健身场馆，这些年全天候不打烊的24小时空间都挺火的。像便利店，还有24小时的阅读空间等等。市场有需求，相关的场所也越来越多了，对相关行业是机遇，让咱们的生活更加便利。

"Less is more," they say. And a new social media trend is supporting this idea by encouraging people to stop buying new things, and use what they already have.

"Underconsumption core" content shows people using items and wearing clothes they've had for a long time, instead of buying new things often promoted by influencers.

In the last decade or so, social media has become the home of influencer marketing, where popular content creators use their platforms to promote products to their followers.

This might be anything from showing clothes they've recently bought to opening — or "unboxing" — new products and reviewing them.

According to Statista, 28% of TikTok users bought products influenced by celebrity content in 2022. But some people are growing tired of being told what to buy.

Diana Wiebe, a TikTok creator and self-named "de-influencer," went viral in 2023 when she posted a video of herself reacting to an influencer shopping at Target, an American discount retail chain.

In the video, Wiebe can be seen calling almost every item she sees "garbage," adding, "You don't need that." Many TikTok users supported her message in the comments.

Talking to Atlanta-based Scripps News, Wiebe explained that the new trend is "a direct rejection of overconsumption."

Another TikTok creator, Sabrina Pare, is sharing the same message to her 250,000 followers through videos showing her using items she's had for years, as well as reusing old materials and wearing secondhand clothes.

The content shows followers how underconsumption saves money and is better for the environment.

A 2017 report estimated that 83 million metric tons of shoes and clothing was thrown away in 2015, and that could increase to 134 million metric tons by 2030.

While Wiebe told Scripps News that companies making new products may have the biggest impact on the environment, she added, "If we consume less, they're not going to produce as much, and hopefully there will be less waste as well."
