(A)  Eine Fernseh-Werbung aus den 90er Jahren wird in Deutschland auch heute noch oft zitiert: Zwei Männer, die sich aus ihrer Schulzeit kennen, treffen sich nach Jahren wieder und wollen demonstrieren, wie viel sie im Leben erreicht haben. Sie wollen einander IN DEN SCHATTEN STELLEN, indem sie abwechselnd Foto um Foto auf den Tisch legen mit den Worten: „Mein Haus. Mein Auto. Mein Boot.“ Wobei das Boot eine Yacht ist.

(B)  Tatsächlich war es damals ein Zeichen von Wohlstand, ein schönes Haus und ein tolles Auto zu besitzen. Heute trifft das nicht mehr hundertprozentig zu. Junge, hochqualifizierte und gut verdienende Leute ziehen es nicht selten vor, ein Haus oder eine Wohnung zu mieten. Zum einen verlangt ihr Beruf oft dass sie flexibel sind und jederzeit umziehen können, zum anderen ist Wohneigentum in deutschen Großstädten fast UNERSCHWINGLICH geworden. Auch ein eigenes Auto ist nicht mehr für jeden erstrebenswert. Die Suche nach einem Parkplatz gestaltet sich zum täglichen Drama und die Innenstädte sind ein einziger Verkehrsstau. Nicht wenige junge Leute ziehen ein Fahrrad vor: Es ist gesünder, schneller und umweltbewusster. 

(C)  Ein hoher Lebensstandard zeigt sich heute eher in der neuesten digitalen Ausstattung. Auch schöne Reisen in die ganze Welt gehören zu den Wünschen der jungen Generation.  Andererseits spricht natürlich nichts gegen einen tollen Urlaub auf einem Boot.

There are many factors that influence language learning such as a student's age, personality and environment. In today's podcast, we will talk about three factors that affect a student's language learning progress namely motivation, learner's environment and and student's personality.

FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE  LANGUAGE LEARNING

Whenever 不 is before another fourth tone character, it becomes a second tone. 
Take for example, 不错 bùcuò, which means not bad. Since 错 is fourth tone, we read it as búcuò.

“One city that I really find so interesting is Venice, which I think has to be one of the most amazing, and fascinating cities in the world. Venice is located in… I think….the north of Italy, on the coast,and is one of the most popular tourist destinations… not just in Italy but, anywhere in the world today.

 

Venice is known as the city of canals, and there are so many things Venice is famous for including its beautiful bridges, gondola rides, historical buildings…. interesting old streets…..Oh! and also the Venice carnival, which looks like so much fun.

 

I remember I first learned about Venice back when i was in high school, and we studied the Shakespeare play “The merchant of Venice……. I can still remember my English teacher showing us a short video showing all the sites of Venice……… I remember thinking…..wow! This has to be one of the most amazing cities i’ve ever seen, and decided this is a place i must visit in the future.

 

Venice with all of its magnificent….. historical buildings, ancient bridges and water really looks like no other city in the world today. It almost looks like something from a movie set, and it’s amazing to think that this is actually a real place, that still remains and looks the same as it did hundreds of years ago. I think that’s what really makes it so interesting in my mind.

 

There are no ugly modern or high rise buildings, which again just makes it such an interesting city compared to other popular tourist cities.

 

  I really think there are no other cities that can be compared to Venice, and it is truly a unique city, with more interesting and fascinating sites than you can imagine.”

 

Thank you……
