大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【中秋节】的话题。上个星期六是中国的传统节日中秋节，放三天假。中秋节是我最喜欢的节日之一，因为它是和家人团圆的节日。那么中秋节是怎么来的呢？
农历八月十五在秋季的正中，中秋节因此得名。又因这晚月亮很圆，人们由天上的圆月联想到人生的团圆，因此阖家团圆也成为中秋节的核心意义。中秋节的来历说法很多，通常被认为和嫦娥奔月的故事有关。传说王母娘娘为奖赏后羿射日的功绩，赐予他一粒不老神丹。后羿不舍与妻子分离，因而没有吃。这件事被歹人所知，歹人趁后羿不在家中，逼迫嫦娥交出丹药，嫦娥当机立断，一口吞下不老神丹，随后不由自主地飘离地面，飞上月宫成了仙。后羿从此在八月十五的月下设案，怀念嫦娥。由于“男不拜月，女不祭灶”的习俗，这一天拜月的仪式通常只有女性和孩子参与。中秋节有着很多习俗，形式也各不相同，但都寄托着人们对生活无限的热爱和对美好生活的向往。总的来说是传承历史，传递亲情，希望亲人生活都团团圆圆。
中秋节有什么习俗呢？中秋节的十大习俗，你知道哪些？一、中秋赏月。赏月活动源于魏晋，到了宋代更是不明之夜，也是通宵达旦，玩月游人。二、吃月饼。唐僖宗在中秋节吃月饼觉得味道甚好，是关于月饼最早的记录。现如今月饼的品种层出不穷。三、祭月。在古代有秋暮夕月的习俗。四、燃灯。中秋将燃起的夜灯悬挂于屋檐下。五、观潮。在古代，浙江一带观潮也是中秋盛事。六、玩兔儿爷。现在很少见到，基本作为民俗文物在民俗博物馆展出。七、走月。中秋月夜，人们衣着华美，三五结伴，进行赏月活动。八、玩花灯。早在宋代将“一点红”灯放入江中，漂流玩耍。九、吃鸭、螺和芋头。十、饮桂花酒。中秋时节桂花芬芳，饮桂花酿，现在大多红酒代替。
你们国家有和月亮相关的节日吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

中秋节 Mid-autumn Festival （Advanced level）

From checking into hotels under different names to living in homes that can't be seen on Google Maps, rich people work hard to keep others from knowing where they are and where they're going.

But some new data might tell us more about where they've chosen to live and work.

An investment company called Henley & Partners has released data that gives information about the countries the world's millionaires are leaving, and where they're going.

And the company says 2024 will be a big year for millionaire moves, with economic and political uncertainty — including big elections in the UK and the US — encouraging a record 128,000 rich people to move somewhere new.

This information is important, according to the company, because it tells us about the health of a country's economy.

And if you're a millionaire, the UAE is the place to be, with a record 6,700 of them expected to move there this year.

The top destination for the last three years, the UAE is a good place for rich people to look after their wealth, experts say. There's no income tax to pay, and if you're rich, it's easy to get a "golden visa" — which lets people live there for a number of years if they invest money in the country.

After the UAE, the next most popular destination is America, followed by Singapore, Canada and Australia.

China, the world's biggest loser of millionaires, could see more than 15,000 leave the country this year — 10% more than last year — while 9,500 millionaires may leave the UK, and 4,300 are expected to leave India.

However, according to experts, China and India's losses may just be because their successful economies are seeing more and more millionaires being created there, not because of local problems.

IELTS SPEAKING PART 1 /  Topic - People you study/work with:

Tacos are the world's most popular street food, according to a new study of TikTok posts.

Originally from Mexico, these simple, messy, hand-sized snacks are enjoyed around the world.

A money transfer company called Remitly wanted to find out about the world's best-loved street foods.

It made a list of more than 300 such foods from 136 countries, and looked at TikTok to see how many times each one had been mentioned on the app.

Tacos — tortillas filled with meat, vegetables or almost anything else you can think of — were mentioned more than 1.8 million times.

Next came a South Asian favorite, pani puri. Eaten in India at any time of day, these are crispy dough balls often filled with potato, chickpeas and spices.

Pani puri was mentioned more than 734,000 times, a little more than the third-placed food: hot dogs, which were mentioned almost 654,000 times.

Many of the most popular street foods on the list are things you can easily eat while walking — although you might get some sauce on your shirt!

But Vietnamese pho — a noodle soup — also did well, and so did Peru's ceviche, a fish dish made with lime juice and onion.

Some sweet snacks were also in the website's top 10, including waffles, croissants and crepes.

Many of these street foods can now be found around the world, although some are easier to find than others.

But travel website TimeOut says eating authentic local street food is one of the best parts of traveling!
