嗨大家好，我是Cara欢迎收听我的频道，今天跟大家讲一个关于中国“年”故事。

中国的新年可以追溯到几千年的历史，那么中国新年是怎么出现的呢？
在中国古代，有一只凶猛的野兽，它有着锋利的牙齿，巨大的爪子和恐怖的吼叫声。它吼叫的时候会发出“年~”的声音，所以人们把它叫做：年兽。在每年春天最黑暗的夜晚，新月new moon挂在天上，年兽就会出现，它会跑到村庄里，吓唬村子里的人，吃掉村子里的动物，所以每年春天人们特别害怕新月的升起。但是时间一久，人们渐渐发现年兽害怕三样东西，那就是红色、火光和巨大的响声；于是后来的人们在每年年兽将要到来的时候就会聚到一起，贴上红色的纸（后来逐渐改为贴红对联），挂上红色的灯笼，放鞭炮等等，目的就是为了赶走年兽。当年兽被赶走以后，人们总是会高兴地说到：“又熬过一个年了。”所以慢慢的就有了过年的说法，也由此出现过年的习俗了。后来人们会在春天的时候，庆祝新月的升起而不是害怕它，这个庆祝活动，变成了现在持续15天的中国农历新年，也叫春节。它代表着幸福和新的开始。
好的，以上就是关于中国年的故事了，我还录制了关于中国元宵节的播客，可以去我的播客频道搜索。你们还想听什么样的中国故事呢？欢迎给我留言或者在我们上课的时候告诉我吧。我们下次节目再见。

7 minute transportation vocabulary and conversations.

June and Yuli have a talk about Chinese Blind Date, this episode is part 2: Why do Chinese parents set their children up on blind dates, you will learn how to say 【intervene,force of public opinion】 ect. (This is casual talk so there're some repetition and unnecessary words, which is also very natural authentic dialogue.)
--------------------------------------------------
It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
1st time: listen without looking at the text.
2nd time: look at the text and write down the new words, later look up the dictionary. 
3rd time: listen again without looking at the text.
4th time: repeat after it without looking at the text.
-------------------------------------------------- 
June：那刚刚有提到中国的父母喜欢给孩子安排相亲，但是我们知道很多西方国家的父母不太去管，或者是插手孩子的，比如说谈恋爱或者是什么时候结婚这件事。那你觉得为什么中国的父母喜欢给孩子安排相亲呢？
Yuli：我父母他们说是他们觉得这个像一个任务一样，他觉得说把我养大，然后看着我结婚成家，他觉得这个才是他的一个任务的完成。然后我觉得还有一个就是社会大环境是这样，所以是一个舆论压力。他们会觉得说周围的同龄人特别是我们同龄的那些亲戚，还有他们自己的朋友的小孩，这个年纪或甚至是比我年轻的都结婚了，生小孩了，他们就觉得说应该跟别人一样，就别人这样做你也应该这样做。
June：我觉得还有一点就是中国的一个传统观念就是传宗接代，还有一个养儿防老。父母会担心，现在有可能自己一个人过得挺好，但是将来你也有老了的一天或者是你生病了，那等父母都不在这个世界上了，他们希望会有一个人来照顾你，所以我觉得这个就是为什么他们想要给孩子安排相亲（的原因）。

안녕하세요? 2023년 5월 13일 한국어 강사 Sadie예요.
오늘은 일상생활 속에서 자주 시용되는 문법을 하나 배워볼까해요. 
Today, we are going to learn a grammar that is often used in everyday life.

* Vern stem + 아/어/해 본 적이 있다 (없다)

과거의 무언가를 시도한 경험의 유무를 물어볼 때 쓰는 표현이에요. 
Which means to have the experience of having tried something. 

예를 들어 볼게요. Let me give you a few examples.
- 가다 to go / 가 +(아)본 적이 있다 have been to
- 먹다 to eat / 먹+어 본 적이 있다  have tried
- 사용하다  to use / 사용+해 본 적이 있다  have used 
- 만나다 to meet / 만나+ (아)본 적이 있다 have met 

- 가다 to go / 가+본 적이 없다 have never been to 
- 먹다 to eat / 먹+어 본적이 없다 have never tried 
- 사용하다  to use / 사용+해 본적이 없다  have never used
- 만나다  to meet / 만나 +(아) 본 적이 없다 have never met 

- 저는 미국에 가 본 적이 있어요. I have been  to the U.S. 
- 한국 음식을 먹어 본 적이 없어요. I’ve never tried Korean food. 

그럼 짧은 대화를 통해서 이 표현이 어떻게 쓰이는지 들어볼까요? 
Let's listen to a short conversation using this expression

1) 
A 어제 명동에서 연예인을 만났어요.   Yesterday, I met a celebrity in Myeongdong. 
B 와， 난 지금까지 한 번도 연예인을 만난 적이 없어요.  Wow, I’ ve never met a celebrity.  

2)
A 시장에서 물건 값을 잘 깎아요? Can you bargain well at the market? 
B 아니요， 깎아 본 적이 없어요. No, I’ve never been able to bargain. 

어땠나요?  어렵지 않죠?  그럼 아래의 연습문제도 한번 해보시기 바랄게요. 

1. Have you seen this guy before? (to see = 보다, this guy = 이 남자) 
2. Have you attended before? (to attend 참석하다)

그럼  다음시간까지 안녕히 계세요.
