SWE 142 California Sand Dollars 双语

1富强粉分几次加入清水，用筷子搅拌成絮状
2揉成面团，盖上湿布醒面
3西葫芦洗净去皮，用擦子擦成丝，要转着擦，当露出瓜瓤就转动一下，逐渐留出柱状的瓜瓤，丢弃不用（我是图省事，也可以切开挖去瓜瓤后再擦丝）
4西葫芦丝中撒少许盐，5-10分钟会杀出不少水
5捞起一团西葫芦丝用双手挤出水分，分次直至全部挤完6肉馅加料酒、生抽、香油、胡椒粉、五香粉、盐、葱姜碎，拌匀调味
 7将西葫芦丝加入肉馅中拌匀
 8面团揉匀，搓长条，下剂子
 9将剂子擀成中间厚，周边薄的饺子皮
 10对着光可以看出中厚边薄的效果
 11取一个饺子皮在中间放上饺子馅
12对折，捏出花纹，一定要捏紧，不然一煮就破
13包好的饺子放在盘子上等待下锅，盘子上事先撒干面防粘
14水烧开下饺子，盖盖，水再次烧开时倒入少许凉水，盖盖，再烧开，加凉水，盖盖，直至再次烧开，开盖，再煮1分钟饺子就熟了
 15盛出装盘，蘸上自己喜欢的料汁，就着自家泡的腊八蒜，再有口小酒，齐了~

中国美食简介

西葫芦猪肉饺子


This topic is going to be divided into 4 chapters. We are going to discuss all of these topics thoroughly, going into deep understanding of all of them. So, if you are interested-subscribe to this channel to stay informed.

Alright, let’s start from the basics. Why do we need conditionals? It’s super simple. We use them to talk about some conditions. Here are a couple of examples: We will go to the cinema, if you buy these tickets. Or vice versa ‘We won’t go to the cinema, if you don’t buy these tickets. 
There are 4 types of conditionals and today’s podcast is devoted to “zero and first conditional”.
Okay, guys. Zero conditional. We use it to talk about some facts, rules or laws.
“Snow melts, when it is hot”, “if you violate the law, you are punished”
How do we make it? Super simple. Our sentence consists of 2 parts: clause and main part, both of them are written in present simple. The clause part always contains if or when.
 Let’s take a look again.
“If you don’t work, you don’t get money”
I am about to leave you a couple of exercises in the quiz to practice.

Alright, the first conditional is about FUTURE. Yes, guys, and this is when a lot of students make mistakes. Let’s take a look at the examples.
“If you pass your exams, you will enter the university”
“If I don’t have enough delights, I will go to the supermarket to purchase them”

How do we make it?
In the main part we have Future Simple, in the clause one we, again, have present simple. 
The main mistake is when you use Future Simple instead of Present Simple. Try to remember that here, after ‘if or when” we don’t use the future. (Sometimes we do, but we’ll talk about it later)

“If I don’t exercises, I’ll never achieve a strong body”
“You will never find a good job, if you don’t look for it,”

And of course, I’ve prepared a good exercise for you to practice.

I hope it was useful, it was nice to share this info with you. Feel free to book lessons with me. Thank you and see you later!

Pingping Chinese Elementary Lesson 5：What is your job?

This story uses words from '3000 most common words in English'. 

TV NEWS music plays and introduction animations fly across the screen. A reporter is standing on the street. Behind her is a loud group of protesters. They are holding signs and chanting. The reporter is yelling to be heard over the noise.

Reporter: I’m here in front of the Ace’s Chicken Company factory. As you can see behind me, 
protesters have gathered to take down the chicken giant. They are chanting Down with Ace and other slogans. They have set up a sound system and are playing loud hip-hop music—which, as insider sources have speculated, is Ace’s most hated genre of music. Let’s now speak to the leader of this movement, Sally. Why are you all out here today?

Sally: We’re not going to stand for the propaganda that Ace has been spreading. He’s published lies about me and is trying to manipulate the public perception of his slaughterhouse. The truth must be known. Ace’s chicken is killing people!

Reporter: And what do you have to say to the opposition? As you know, there is a vocal group of employees who have publicly commented that Ace is a kind leader who only wants what’s best for public health.

Sally: They have been paid off! My sources have told me that Ace personally approached every one of them and offered huge amounts of money, and if they declined, he said he would have their careers destroyed. Ace is only interested in how people perceive him. He isn’t a genuine
manufacturer. He’s a powerful baby!

Reporter: You heard it here, folks. Sally, an ex-employee, claims that Ace is spreading propaganda and paying employees to pretend. Sally, what is it that your group wants?

Sally: We want to see that evil dictator fall!

Reporter: Strong words. Back to you in the newsroom.

Talking About Feelings & Mood

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今回も、今年の良かったこと！について。
#169.170のエピソードを聞いてくれた方はわかると思いますが、今年の良かったことについての話をしています。

今回が3つ目ですね。
それは、日本語教師の資格を取れたことです！
これはね、本当に嬉しいですね。

日本の日本語教師の仕組みは少しややこしいと思います。
日本語教師養成講座を420時間受講しても資格が取れます。
それとは別に、講座を受けずに試験だけ受けることができます。この試験に合格すれば、同じ資格を取れます。

どっちを取ってもいいんですが、これから少しルールが変わるみたいで、何年か先には日本の日本語学校で働こうとする時は、筆記試験に合格している必要があるみたいなんです。

ま、試験に受かっておきたかった、ということですね。
10月末に受験して、2ヶ月後のクリスマスごろに結果が出る、ということでした。待つ期間が長いので、少し忘れていました。それから、結構難しかったので、自信はなかったんです。ですが、家に届いた結果は無事合格！とのことでした。これは本当に嬉しかったです。

20年間、全く違う仕事をしてきて、日本語の勉強をはじめめした。はじめは、簡単かなと少し思っていましたが、全然違いました。毎日使っている日本語なのに、こんなに難しいんだと感じました。

でもなんとか合格したので、そのレベルの知識がある、ということは証明することができました。でも、今も完璧に日本語を説明できるわけではないです。わかりやすく、簡単に説明しようと思いますが、うまくいかないこともたくさんあります。でもオンラインレッスンはマンツーマンなので、１つの問題を解決する為に時間を使うことができます。それは難しいことでもありますが、自分にとっても勉強になるので、いつも感謝しています。

簡単じゃない質問をする方もいますが、一緒に考えながら、調べながら解決していくのは、とても良いと思います。

これからも、レッスンをしながら、みなさんと一緒に勉強していきたいと考えています。


ということで、3つ目の今年の良かったこと、について話しました。

みなさんの今年の良かったことはなんですか？

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
