بَيتِي اللي عِشْت فِيه لَمَّا كُنْت صَغِير كان بِحَارَة قَرِيبَة مِن نُص البَلَد.
كُلْ شَي كَان قَرِيب مِن البَيت والحَارَة مَا كَانَت تِنَام.
البَيت كَان عِبَارَة عَن شِقَّة كَبِيرَة و وَاسِعَة بِالطَابِق الثَالِث. 
كان فِيه خَمْسَة غُرَف وثَلَاثَة حَمَّامَات وصَالَة ومَطْبَخ.
الصَالَة وغُرْفَتَين كَانُوا كْبَار حَتَّى المَطْبَخ كَمَان.
المُشْكِلَة الوَحِيدَة فِي البَيت إنو كَان قَدِيم شْوَي وكَان دَائِمًا فِيه مَشَاكِل بالسِبَاكَة.

今天想和大家聊一聊【高考】的话题。
大家知道高考吗？高考就是高三的学生为了上大学而参加的考试。在中国，高考的时间一般是6月7号、8号。
第一个原因是天气，每年这两天的天气是比较好的。第二个原因是寓意。6、7、8连着读，听起来像“录取吧”，这是大家对考生们的深深祝福。
高考成绩一般在考后15到20天出来，2022年高考成绩公布时间在6月25日前后。上周开始，全国各地的高考成绩都陆续出来了。在网上可以看到很多这样的视频：考生和考生家长看到成绩以后，激动得大哭起来。也有些考生成绩不理想，查完成绩以后非常低落。
那么，高考都考什么科目呢？在传统高考地区，高考考4门科目，即语文、数学、外语和理科综合或文科综合。在实行新高考模式的地区，高考是考6门科目，即语文、数学、外语，物理或历史，以及政治、地理、生物、化学四门当中的两门科目。
成绩出来后就要开始准备填志愿了，每个地方的时间不一样。每个学生可以填6-9个志愿，录取的原则是“分数优先，遵循志愿”。也就是优先录取分数高的学生，以及按照志愿的顺序录取。
祝福考生们能够顺利拿到理想的大学录取通知书，开始他们期待已久的大学生活。
你们国家的高考是什么样的呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

Yuli's Chinese Channel

高考 College entrance examination  （Intermediate level）

Around the world, "Kiwi" is a popular nickname for New Zealanders, and people from New Zealand will often call themselves "Kiwis" too. For most New Zealanders, the word Kiwi is a positive and friendly nickname — but where did it come from?

The name actually comes from the kiwi: a fluffy bird that has a round body, a long beak and cannot fly. It is only found in New Zealand.

While the bird was already used on New Zealand's stamps and money by the late 19th century, it was first used to represent New Zealand in 1904 — when it was used in a cartoon to represent the country's rugby team. After that, the bird was often shown in cartoons to represent the country.

During World War I, soldiers from New Zealand who were fighting in Europe wore an image of the bird on their uniforms. "Kiwi" became a popular nickname for these soldiers, and it continued to be used after the war.

So the people and the birds don't get mixed up, "Kiwi" as a nickname for New Zealanders is usually written with a capital K, while the bird's name is usually written with a small k: "kiwi."

The kiwi fruit, which is originally from China, is also named after the bird. In 1959, fruit exporters in New Zealand started calling it "kiwifruit" because its fluffy, brown skin looks similar to the fluffy bird.

However, it is important not to mix up Kiwi people, kiwi birds and the kiwi fruit! Although the fruit is usually just called "kiwi" in other parts of the world, New Zealanders only ever call it "kiwifruit."
