How to greet in Italian - 3 minutes Italian

An action in progress can be expressed by adding the adverb “在”、“正” or “正在” before a verb or by using the modal particle “呢” at the end of a sentence. For example
wǒ zài shuì jiào 。  wǒ zài shuì jiào ne 。 
我在睡觉。=我在睡觉呢 。
tā zhènɡ liàn xí kǒu yǔ 。  tā zhènɡ liàn xí kǒu yǔ ne 。 
他正练习口语。=他正练习口语呢。
dà wèi zhènɡ zài chī fàn 。  dà wèi zhènɡ zài chī fàn ne 。 
大卫正在吃饭。=大卫正在吃饭呢。

The negative form is“没(在)+Verb/Verb Phrase”, without “呢”at the end of the sentence. For example:
wǒ méi zài kàn shū 。 
我没在看书。

Prepositions of time 

Luego de una encuesta realizada en las calles de España preguntando a la gente si es feliz, no hubo ni una sola persona cuya respuesta haya sido ‘no’. Si nos hubieran mentido, estaríamos hablando de 'happycracia', la tiranía de la felicidad. Estar obligados a ser felices y sentirnos culpables si no superamos las dificultades. Lo describen muy bien el psicólogo español Edgar Cabanas y la socióloga israelí Eva Illouz en el libro 'Happycracia': “hoy declarar que no eres feliz es vergonzoso, como si hubiéramos perdido el tiempo o hecho algo mal”.

¿Qué es la 'happycracia' y por qué se nos obliga a ser felices?

Nuovo video di presentazione

Après avoir lu un article sur le Courrier International, nous avons réfléchi avec certains étudiants à ce sujet ! Pourquoi selon les pays faisons - nous ou pas beaucoup de gestes en parlant ? Comment l'expliquer ?

Pourquoi selon les origines gesticule -t on beaucoup ou peu lorsqu'on parle ?

Some animals have been known to use tools such as sticks, rocks and even bait to hunt for food. And humpback whales have been found using their own unique tool to hunt — bubbles.

A study published in Royal Society Open Science in August observed the hunting behaviors of more than 70 humpback whales in Stephens Passage in southeast Alaska, documenting how the whales blow bubbles to catch more prey.

Humpback whales hunt for krill — small, shrimp-like creatures that are around the same size as a paperclip, and which swim in swarms.

Whales can take in large amounts of krill in one mouthful. And to make this easier, humpback whales trap swarms of krill in "bubble nets" before feeding on them.

The whales create these "nets" by releasing air from their blowhole as they swim in circles below the surface of the water. The bubbles rise in a spiral pattern, which, from above the water's surface, looks more like artwork than a tool for hunting.

The rising bubbles create "curtains" of air around the krill that they are reluctant to swim through, although researchers aren't yet sure why this is. The whales then swim up through the "net" with an open mouth to eat the trapped krill.

The study data showed that as a whale swam in tighter circles and the "net" got smaller, the krill caught inside became, on average, more than seven times denser. This allowed the whales to catch more krill in a single mouthful.

A whale doesn't have to move very fast to create a net or eat trapped krill, allowing it to get more food without using any more energy.

While not many other animals create their own tools to catch prey like the humpback whale, there are examples of animals using other tools to hunt.

For example, chimpanzees have been observed using sticks to dig for bugs, while sea otters use rocks to open mussels. Certain species of heron have even been found to use food as bait to attract fish.
