Hey guys! 你好, Welcome to Veronica's Chinese Channel！ In today’s lesson, we are going to learn how to say “how are you” and how to answer it in Chinese.

Veronica's Chinese Channel

 How are you? 你好吗？

听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

今天的话题是中国的宠物经济。近十年来，随着中国人民生活水平的提高，越来越多的中国人开始饲养宠物。中国的宠物经济也越来越蓬勃发展，形成了涵盖宠物方方面面的“一条龙”服务。包括宠物饲养场、宠物医院、宠物美容院，宠物寄养点甚至宠物殡葬服务。养宠大军的不断扩大，使得宠物经济前景广阔。

在中国，尤其在大城市，单身人群越来越多，许多独居的年轻人或是老年人喜欢养一只猫咪或者狗狗作伴。宠物医生、宠物美容师、宠物摄影师，宠物寄养师、训犬师，宠物派对、宠物spa馆，甚至宠物瑜伽纷纷走俏。

有句话说的好，爱ta就爱一辈子，因为ta的生命中只有你。动物也通人性，养他就给他一辈子的承诺，不要抛弃、遗弃你的猫咪或者狗狗。这是我认为盈利的宠物经济背后，最重要的部分。你说呢？

欢迎留言，感谢收听，希望你喜欢，我们下次见。

Lesson 1: Build a Study Habit as Solid as the Titanic’s Hull
The Titanic’s hull was state-of-the-art, yet it wasn’t indestructible. Similarly, your study habits need to be strong, but they don’t have to be perfect. Start small—just like the shipbuilders who started with a blueprint. Dedicate 10–15 minutes daily to learning your language. Research shows that consistent practice, even in small increments, leads to long-term success.
Your daily routine is your hull. If it’s solid, you’ll keep floating, even when you hit minor obstacles.

Lesson 2: Spot the Icebergs Before They Hit
The Titanic didn’t see the iceberg until it was too late. When it comes to studying, your "icebergs" are distractions, unrealistic expectations, and burnout. Be mindful of these obstacles before they derail you. Set realistic goals, like learning five new words a day instead of fifty.
Think of distractions like incoming icebergs on the horizon—acknowledge them, steer clear, and keep your focus steady.
________________________________________
Lesson 3: Lifeboats Are Non-Negotiable
The Titanic’s lack of lifeboats was its greatest tragedy. In language learning, lifeboats represent backup plans for when life gets overwhelming. Too tired to study grammar? Watch a short video in your target language instead. Feeling stuck on vocabulary? Try a language game instead of a workbook.
Lifeboats are your Plan B—your way to keep moving forward even when your primary routine is disrupted.

Zorba le chat
Les archives de la police des animaux contiennent un dossier exceptionnel et peu connu. Tu sais qu’il existe des chiens policiers. Le plus célèbre d’entre eux est un chat. Eh oui ! Zorba le chat rêvait d’être policier. Il s’est présenté à l’examen de recrutement et a été renvoyé car ce n’était pas un chien. Mais Zorha est têtu ; il est revenu, déguisé en chien, et a réussi toutes les épreuves.
Sa première enquête s’annonce bien délicate : un voleur masqué a dérobé les bijoux de la reine des écureuils…
