EP 12. WHY COLOMBIA HAS NO SUMMER?

Crowds of people queued up at Australia's Royal Sydney Botanic Garden on January 23, with some people waiting as long as three hours.

And for what?

A very smelly flower.

The titan arum, known as the "corpse flower," is a tall, pointed plant that releases an unpleasant smell when it blooms. The smell has been likened to things like decaying flesh, gym socks or rotting garbage.

The endangered plant is only found in the Sumatran rainforests in Indonesia, where there are thought to be fewer than 300 of them. It only blooms every 7 to 10 years in its natural habitat.

"The fact that they open very rarely, so they flower rarely, is obviously something that puts them at a little bit of a disadvantage in the wild," said Sophie Daniel from the Royal Sydney Botanic Garden. "When they open, they have to hope that another flower is open nearby, because they can't self-pollinate."

The flower at the botanic garden is the first to bloom there in 15 years, and she's been named Putricia — a combination of "putrid" and "Patricia" — by her fans.

Putricia's online fandom grew quickly and globally. A 24/7 live stream established by the botanic garden drew close to a million views in under a week, and people on social media planned to hurry to the garden as the plant opened. In just 24 hours, Putricia's bloom — and her stench — would be gone.

As she opened, the plant heated to 37 degrees Celsius to better spread her scent. In the wild, the smell tricks pollinators into landing on what they think is rotten meat and spreading pollen between flowers.

Up to 20,000 people filed past for a moment in her pungent presence, leaning in for a sniff or taking selfies.

It was difficult to say why the flower attracted such a following — but perhaps the answer lay in the "reverence" viewers felt in the presence of "such an amazing living being," Daniel said.

오늘 새로운 친구를 만났어요

오늘 저는 새로운 친구를 만났어요. 아침에 학교에 갔을 때, 선생님이 새로운 친구를 소개해 주셨어요. 그 친구의 이름은 민수예요. 민수는 우리 반에 새로 온 친구예요.

처음에는 조금 어색했어요. 민수도 긴장한 것 같았어요. 하지만 선생님이 우리를 같은 조로 정해 주셨어요. 그래서 우리는 같이 활동을 했어요. 민수는 수학을 잘했어요. 그래서 저에게 문제를 푸는 방법을 알려 주었어요. 저는 민수에게 학교에 대해 설명해 주었어요. 이렇게 이야기하면서 우리는 친해졌어요.

점심시간에 저는 민수에게 같이 밥을 먹자고 했어요. 우리 반 친구들도 같이 먹었어요. 우리는 좋아하는 음식과 취미에 대해 이야기했어요. 민수는 축구를 좋아했어요. 저도 축구를 좋아해요. 그래서 쉬는 시간에 운동장에서 축구를 하기로 했어요.

쉬는 시간이 되었어요. 우리는 운동장으로 갔어요. 친구들과 같이 축구를 했어요. 민수는 달리기를 정말 빨리 했어요. 그리고 골도 넣었어요. 우리는 재미있게 놀았어요. 시간이 금방 지나갔어요.

수업이 끝난 후, 저는 민수에게 내일도 같이 놀자고 했어요. 민수는 웃으며 "좋아!"라고 했어요. 우리는 벌써 좋은 친구가 되었어요. 새로운 친구를 만나서 기뻤어요. 내일도 민수와 함께 놀고 싶어요.

Understanding Concessive Clauses in Spanish and English

In Spanish, the mood (indicative or subjunctive) in concessive clauses depends on whether the action is factual, non-factual, or counterfactual. For example, the conjunction "aunque" (although) can be used with both indicative and subjunctive moods depending on the context.
Example in Spanish:
Indicative: "Vendré aunque no tengo ganas." (I will come even though I don't feel like it.)
Subjunctive: "Vendré aunque no tenga ganas." (I will come even if I don't feel like it.)
In English, concessive clauses typically use the indicative mood. The conjunctions "although," "even though," and "though" are commonly used, and they don't change the mood of the verb.
Example in English:
"Although he doesn't want to, he will come."
"Even though she is tired, she will finish the work."
So, while Spanish requires a choice between indicative and subjunctive based on the nature of the action, English consistently uses the indicative mood in concessive clauses.
