_________________________________
Це моя бабуся. Її звати Варвара Іванівна. Іванівна – це по-батькові. Її батька звали Іван. Зараз, на жаль, її батько вже помер.
Їй шістдесят два роки. Вона пенсіонерка. Це означає, що зараз вона вже не працює. Раніше бабуся Варвара працювала в торгівельному центрі. Вона колишній продавець. Вона продавала книги, підручники, папір, ручки, олівці, блокноти, степлери, скріпки та багато іншого.
Моя бабуся дуже гарна. Зараз, звісно, на її обличчі є зморшки. У неї коротка стрижка і вже сиве волосся. Раніше її волосся було чорним і довгим. Я знаю, тому що я бачив фото. У неї була струнка фігура. Але зараз вона зовсім не товста, ні! Зараз бабуся просто худа. Раніше у неї були зелені очі, але зараз одне око зелене, а інше око блакитне. Це називається гетерохромія. Вона дуже мене любить, а ще вона кохає її* чоловіка. У бабусі ще є велика чорна кішка на ім’я Ніч і маленький білий пес на ім’я Сніг. Ось така моя бабуся.

*here we would use reflexive pronoun “свій” in Genetive, however we don’t cover it at A1 lvl

Episode 6: about appearance

In many parts of the world, summer has kicked in, and people are really feeling the heat.

But people in one city in the Middle East may have more reason to complain about the heat than anywhere else in the world.

This place is so hot that birds fall from the sky, some streets are air-conditioned, and, allegedly, fish boil in the sea.

This is Kuwait City, the capital of Kuwait, often called the hottest city in the world.

Temperatures often get as hot as 50 degrees Celsius in the summer — and sometimes even higher. In July 2016, the temperature reached 54 degrees Celsius in the north, which is the highest temperature Kuwait has experienced.

People are rarely seen walking outside in the summer, and many residents leave the city while it's this hot.

Kuwait has always been hot, but climate change has made the summers hotter and longer.

According to the Emirates Policy Center, between 1962 and 1999 there were 18 days when the temperature in Kuwait was 50 degrees Celsius or higher. Between 2000 and 2021, the number of days was 80 — and 64 of those were between 2010 and 2021.

The country is also getting less rain than before. As a result, it's experiencing more frequent and intense dust storms.

Living in these high temperatures is not good for humans. A study by the University of Roehampton in London found that the human body has an upper temperature limit of between 40 degrees and 50 degrees before it starts to malfunction.

At higher temperatures, a person may start to experience "heat stress," which can cause things like confusion, nausea, dizziness and fainting — and can be fatal.

Some may say that Kuwait is contributing to its own problems, since it's one of the world's largest emitters per capita of carbon dioxide, and uses only fossil fuels for energy.

But things may be changing. According to the International Energy Agency, the country plans to generate at least 15% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030.

Modern Chinese(時代華語)B1- Reading(短文)

Hi everyone, I am Sara and this is Persian made EZ. 
Let's begin with Persian greetings.

“Salām” in Persian is “hi”, and “khosh-bakht am” is “nice to meet you”.

As a response to “khosh-bakht am”, we can say “khosh-bakht am” back, or “ham-chenin”.
“Ham-chenin” means “likewise”.

So if someone says, “Salām, khosh-bakht am!”, you can say “Salām, khosh-bakht am!”, or “Salām, ham-chenin!”.

Persian Script 

سَلام: hello, hi
خوشبَختَم: nice to meet you
هَمچِنین: likewise

Latin Script 

Salām: hello, hi
Khosh-bakht am: nice to meet you 
Ham-chenin: likewise
