Apa kabar semua! selamat pagi, siang, sore dan malam! 
Sekarang di Jepang, panas banget loh! Lebih panas dari Indonesia! Hampir setiap hari saya makan es krim! 
Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian? Hari Sabtu lalu adalah hari spesial, karena sahabat atau teman baik saya datang ke Jepang. Kami adalah teman dari kecil, dari SD! Terakhir bertemu langsung dengannya, kira-kira 10 tahun lalu! Tapi, meskipun dia tinggal di negara lain, dan saya juga di Jepang, hampir setiap hari kami saling berkirim pesan, jadi hubungan kami selalu dekat. 
Di Bahasa Indonesia, ada ekspresi "Jauh di mata, dekat di hati", yang artinya adalah "meskipun tinggal tidak berdekatan, tapi hati selalu dekat". Di Bahasa Jepang pun ada ekspresi seperti ini ya, 天涯比隣. Kalau di Bahasa Inggris artinya "far from the eyes, but close to the heart". 
Untuk kalian yang punya situasi sama seperti saya, tinggal jauh dari keluarga, pacar atau teman dekat, tidak bisa bertemu mereka setiap hari, jangan khawatir ya! kalau kita terus berkomunikasi, kita akan selalu merasa dekat. Jaga kesehatan, dan sampai jumpa lagi di podcast selanjutnya! Daaah! ^^ 


Akhir minggu

Отрывок из рассказа "Бабушкин подарок" М.М. Зощенко

Ever found yourself pondering the difference between 'these' and 'those'? Join Smith as they unravel this common linguistic puzzle. How can understanding these distinctions enhance your communication? Let's dive in. In this insightful conversation, Smith delves deeper into the essence of 'these' as denoting objects or individuals in close proximity, and 'those' as referring to things or people at a distance. They provide relatable examples, like 'Are these your keys?' and 'Can you pass me those books?' to solidify comprehension. By the end of this discussion, learners will wield 'these' and 'those' with confidence, enriching their language precision in day-to-day interactions.

Jimmy abita a Venezia in un appartamento al primo piano. A lui non piace il pianoterra perché quando c’è l’acqua alta, l’acqua entra in casa. Il primo piano è più sicuro.

Come quasi tutte le case di Venezia, anche la casa di Jimmy è antica. È grande e spaziosa, ma non troppo luminosa. La casa è pulita e ordinata. Ci sono tante piante, che Jimmy cura ogni giorno.

La casa ha un grande salotto con il divano, le poltrone, la libreria e la televisione. Davanti al divano c’è un tavolino. Sopra il tavolino c’è un vaso di rose e sotto il tavolino c’è un tappeto. Nella casa ci sono anche una cucina con il forno, i fornelli e il frigorifero - dove Jimmy tiene il cibo; un bagno con la vasca e due camere da letto. Nella camera da letto grande c’è un letto matrimoniale in mezzo a due comodini. Nella camera da letto piccola ci sono due letti singoli ed è la camera per gli ospiti. A casa di Jimmy ci sono anche un guardaroba per i vestiti e uno sgabuzzino dove conserva le scatole e i prodotti per pulire.

Marco abita al pianoterra in un bilocale. Bilocale significa che la casa ha solo due stanze: un salotto molto piccolo che comprende anche la cucina e una camera da letto dove Marco dorme, tiene la scrivania con il computer e l’armadio con i vestiti. Ha anche un bagno con doccia.

La casa di Marco è piccola, stretta, buia, un po’ sporca e molto disordinata. Per questo motivo Marco trascorre molto tempo a casa di Jimmy a giocare a carte con lui. Anche se sono molto diversi, insieme si divertono molto.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊我的海南岛之旅。我现在在海南度假。大家知道海南在哪儿吗？海南是中国最南边的一个省，也是最有名的海岛。这是我第一次来海南，我和我的朋友计划在这里待一个星期。有一天我们在聊天，突然说到很想去海边。我们商量了一下儿，很快就决定一起来海南。
这次的行程很随意，我们打算一边工作一边玩。我们定了机票和民宿，看了下网上的旅游视频，大概了解了可以去哪里吃喝玩乐。昨天早上我们坐飞机到了机场，再坐一站高铁到海南的文昌市。民宿的老板来高铁站接我们，开车几十分钟就到我们住的地方了。我们订的民宿是在海边的一个小区里面，从阳台就可以看到大海和沙滩。在阳台喝着咖啡吹海风，非常舒服。
海南的椰子非常有名，我们到了马上买了两个椰子喝。这里的海鲜非常新鲜，我们去市场买了虾和螃蟹，然后拿去旁边的饭店加工。加工费是一斤13块钱，我们还点了炒青菜，还有免费的茶和菠萝。我们在酱油里面加一点柠檬汁，这样蘸着吃很好吃。
早上我很早就起来看日出，然后给学生上课。学生看到我身后的大海，他们都说很羡慕。昨天我们买了一只鸡，这也是文昌有名的美食。今天中午我们打算自己在家里做饭吃。待会民宿的老板会送我们去当地的菜市场，我们可以买些新鲜的蔬菜水果和海鲜。下午我休息一会，继续给学生上课，然后傍晚我们去海边散散步。晚上是我们头马俱乐部的演讲例会，今晚我是主持人。今天非常充实，明天我们工作不多，准备去椰林玩。这是中国最大的椰树林，那里的椰子鸡很有名，就是椰子味的鸡肉火锅。
这几天我会做一些视频放在我的Youtube，大家如果感兴趣可以在DailyChineseWithYuli看到。
你最喜欢的旅游地是哪里呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
