Simple Sentences in Hindi(Sanskrit and English)

ANGELICA: Doesn’t the bride look beautiful in that wedding dress?
MARIA: Yes. She looks amazing. And the groom is so romantic. 
I just heard the story of how they got engaged! He 
proposed to her during a candlelight dinner in London. 
Did you know that was where they went to school?
ANGELICA: Oh? Wonderful. And the honeymoon! What a great 
idea! Most people just go to the beach for a week 
after they tie the knot. But they plan on heading to 
California and cruising the coast on their motorcycle.
MARIA: Really! What a fantastic idea. This is by far the best 
wedding I’ve ever been to



LANGUAGE NOTES
• Doesn’t …? When you have a negative question, the expected answer is “yes.” As 
such, it expresses the exact opposite of what is being conveyed (i.e., the bride DOES 
look absolutely beautiful).
• Listen to the stress on honeymoon. There are three syllables in “honeymoon,” with the 
stress on the first syllable [HO-ney-moon]. This content word is culturally important, so 
it’s emphasized: It means a trip or vacation taken by a newly married couple.
• Tie the knot is an informal way of saying “get married.”
• Can you find and explain the two usages of just in this dialogue? “Just” is an adverb 
that can be used in two different ways:
 a) To indicate a very recent past (I just heard the story). When used to convey 
time, “just” is commonly used with a simple past verb because the action is 
complete. Sometimes it can also be used with the present perfect (He’s just 
finished writing a book).
 b) To indicate contrast or emphasis (Most people just go to the beach). In that 
case, “just” can be replaced by “simply” and emphasize the word it relates to 
(a verb, adjective or other adverb) by denoting contrast. Compare the following 
sentences: “They just got married yesterday” (adverb of time). “The wedding 
reception was just wonderful” (adverb of emphasis).

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【外卖】的话题。
网上有一个采访外国人的视频，问他们最想把中国的什么东西带回自己的国家。有的人说中国的食物，有的人说中国的快递，有的人说微信，有的人说外卖。我现在生活在国外，我也很想念中国的外卖。其他国家也有外卖，我觉得中国外卖最大的特点是又多又快又便宜。
首先，中国外卖选择多。我们有两个点外卖的软件，一个是黄色的美团外卖，一个是蓝色的饿了么。打开软件，你可以看到二十多个分类，例如粉面、烧烤、快餐、咖啡奶茶、汉堡薯条等等。点开每一个分类，都有无数的商家可以选择，每个商家里面都有很多菜可以选择。你还可以选择自己的口味，例如辣度，微辣、少辣、中辣还是重辣。
第二，中国外卖很快。我在广州的时候，大部分外卖半个小时内都可以送到，有时候十五分钟就能收到。你点外卖的时候就可以看到大概需要等多少分钟，一般用餐高峰会慢一点儿。如果你很着急，你可以选择派送时间更短的店。
第三，中国外卖很便宜。很多的店都有特价菜，而且派送费只要一块钱左右甚至免派送费。如果你是会员，你还可以用红包抵扣。例如20块钱的外卖，你可以用5块钱的红包，那就只需要付15块钱就可以吃到一份饭。有的店还有一些优惠活动，例如买一送一，或者第二份半价。
不过随着中国的物价上涨，外卖也是越来越贵了，而且点外卖的时候你还需要付打包费。如果你在家里吃，可以选择不要餐具，这样可以减少一次性筷子勺子的使用哦。
你经常点外卖吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
