Chillchat (Learn Chinese and Chill)

你问我答 怎么和中国人聊天 Q&A, how do I start a conversation with Chinese people?

不是。①英语中的过去式只用时过去的时态，“了”不一定只用于过去。
       明天下了课就去看电影。（I will go to the movies tomorrow after class.）
       她要是知道了这事肯定要大闹。（If she found out about it, she would definitely make a fuss.）
         ②英语不管是状态还是时间，只要是过去的事情们都要用过去时。“了”只用于过去的事件，不用于过去的状态。错误示例：小时候她很漂亮了。（×）我刚到北京时，妈妈很担心了。（×）我没吃了。（×）

One way to improve our language skills is by expressing our thoughts in the target language. For that reason, I have prepared an English conversation class “Express Yourself through A Conversation”. Please feel free to check that lesson here: https://www.italki.com/en/teacher/24647106/english
I have a lot of interesting topics to talk about. But of course, you are welcome to bring up your own topic.

In this episode, I want to show you one example of the discussion topic. It’s about my imaginary city, Subara City 素晴市 （スバラしsu ba ra shi）.   The name is derived from 素晴らしい（すばらしい）and 都市（とし）.   素晴らしい means “wonderful”, “magnificent”.    市 means “city” and when placed at the end of a word can be pronounced as “shi”し.   So here I name my imaginary city 素晴市（スバラしsu ba ra shi）or “Subara City”.  In this episode, I’m introducing English lessons, not Japanese. I just want to let you know how I made up the name.

The theme of the story is that you have just been elected to the council for Subara City. You have 6 billion Yen in your budget. What can you do? Listen through. Below here is a simple worksheet to give you more ideas.
