    Previsão do Tempo no Rio

    Que tempo faz hoje no Rio de Janeiro? Eu olho a previsão no meu celular. Esta semana o tempo muda muito. No Rio, isso é normal. Quando o sol aparece, a cidade fica animada. Quando chove, as pessoas mudam os planos.

    Hoje é segunda-feira. Está sol e faz calor. A temperatura está alta. Eu penso: “Vou caminhar de manhã e depois vou trabalhar.” Antes de sair, eu passo protetor solar, porque o sol está forte. No Rio, é melhor se cuidar.

    Amanhã, terça-feira, a previsão diz que chove. De manhã, o céu fica nublado e, à tarde, pode chover muito. Então eu já coloco um guarda-chuva pequeno na mochila. Se chover, não dá para ir à praia. Eu vou fazer outra coisa: vou ficar em casa e organizar minhas coisas. Melhor prevenir do que remediar.

    Na quarta-feira, o tempo fica mais fresco. O vento sopra forte perto do mar. Eu visto uma jaqueta leve e vou ao parque. É um dia bom para caminhar e conversar. Quem não tem cão caça com gato: se não tem praia, tem parque.

    Na quinta-feira, volta o calor. De novo, sol forte e muita luz. Eu bebo água, ando devagar e evito o sol do meio-dia. Na sexta-feira, pode ter chuva rápida. No fim de semana, sábado é sol e domingo é nublado. Por isso eu sempre pergunto: “Que tempo faz hoje?” e eu planejo meu dia com calma. No Rio, tempo bom é meio caminho andado.

    Weather Forecast in Rio

    What is the weather like today in Rio de Janeiro? I check the forecast on my phone. This week the weather changes a lot. In Rio, that is normal. When the sun appears, the city gets lively. When it rains, people change their plans.

    Today is Monday. It is sunny and hot. The temperature is high. I think, “I will walk in the morning and then I will work.” Before leaving, I put on sunscreen because the sun is strong. In Rio, it is better to protect yourself.

    Tomorrow, Tuesday, the forecast says it will rain. In the morning, the sky is cloudy and in the afternoon it can rain a lot. So I already put a small umbrella in my backpack. If it rains, you can’t go to the beach. I will do something else: I will stay home and organize my things. Better safe than sorry.

    On Wednesday, the weather becomes cooler. The wind blows strongly near the sea. I wear a light jacket and go to the park. It is a good day to walk and talk. If there is no beach, there is a park.

    On Thursday, the heat returns. Again, strong sun and lots of light. I drink water, walk slowly, and avoid the midday sun. On Friday, there may be a quick shower. At the weekend, Saturday is sunny and Sunday is cloudy. That is why I always ask, “What is the weather like today?” and I plan my day calmly. In Rio, good weather helps a lot.

    Clothes and Colors in Daily Life

    Every day I need to wear clothes and shoes. In daily life, colors and clothes are very important. In the morning, I look at the weather to decide what clothes to wear. If the weather is cold, I wear a black coat. If the weather is hot, I wear white clothes. I like red and blue because they look nice. At work, I wear blue pants and a white shirt. When I meet friends, I like to wear new clothes. Clothes are not only something we wear on our body, they also show what we like.

      Shopping at the Supermarket

      This morning I wanted to go to the supermarket to buy some things. I had just moved to a new city, so I didn’t really know what was best to buy. In the supermarket, I saw lots of fruit and vegetables. I wanted to buy some apples and tomatoes. I also wanted to buy a little rice and bread. But I didn’t know the prices here. I went to ask a shop assistant. I said, “Hello! May I ask, how much are the apples?” The assistant said, “This kind is cheap, and that kind is more expensive.” I asked, “Should I buy the cheap ones or the expensive ones?” The assistant smiled and said, “Buy the kind you like. The cheap ones are also tasty, and the expensive ones are also tasty.” I thought for a moment and decided to buy the cheap ones. I still wanted to buy some fruit, and also some vegetables. When I walked to the checkout, the cashier asked me, “Do you want a bag?” I said, “Yes, thanks.” After I left the supermarket, I felt I could slowly adapt to the new city.

      A Good Way to Study Each Week

      I am an adult, and I also want to study Chinese. I work every day and I am very busy, but I feel studying can still be interesting. I asked my friend, “What do you study?” He said, “I study English. How about you?” I said, “I study Chinese.” I have three ways to study. The first way is an evening class. After work, I go to class. During class, I can see the teacher and classmates. We practice speaking and writing. After class, the teacher gives us homework. The second way is self-study. At home I read books, listen to recordings, and take notes. The third way is an online lesson. Sometimes I attend class on my computer. This way I don’t need to go out, and I can still study. I think a good study week needs a plan. I write in my notebook: Monday evening: attend class. Tuesday: self-study for thirty minutes. Wednesday: online lesson. Thursday: do homework. Friday: review. Saturday: rest a bit, and also read a little. Sunday: prepare for a test. My friend said, “Your plan is very clear.” I also said, “I want to study a little every day. Step by step, I can improve.” I know sometimes I am tired, but I don’t want to give up halfway. I tell myself: “Do a little today, and do a little tomorrow. Persist steadily, and you will have good results.” So I divide my time well. Before the next class, I first read the lesson text once. Then I do practice. Finally I finish the homework. I hope this week I can get twice the result with half the effort. As long as I don’t stop and apply what I learn every day, I will get better and better.

      Community Center Opens New Hobby Clubs: Choose What You Like

      This week, the city’s community center announced new hobby clubs. To help more residents stay healthy and happy, the center decided to open several clubs so everyone can choose activities they like.

      The first club is a cooking club. It starts at 6:30 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday and lasts about one hour. The teacher will teach everyone to make simple dishes, such as noodles and fried rice.

      The second club is a walking group. It meets at 9:00 a.m. every Saturday at the entrance of the park. Everyone walks together, chats, looks at trees and birds, and can also take photos.

      The third club is a beginner calligraphy class. It starts at 3:00 p.m. every Monday and Wednesday in the center’s classroom. The teacher says beginners don’t need to worry—take it slowly.

      The center also invited several residents to share their preferences. Xiao Li (25) said he likes eating and cooking because he can eat with friends, so he chose the cooking club. Grandma Wang (70) said she relatively likes walking because the wind feels comfortable and the air is good, so she chose the walking group. Another resident, Student Zhang, said he likes quiet and also likes writing Chinese characters. He thinks calligraphy is interesting, so he signed up for the beginner calligraphy class.

      The community center reminds everyone: if you want to join, you can sign up before 10:00 a.m. next Monday. If you have questions, you can call the staff.

      Retell the Story

      用你自己的话写这个故事。

      中文建议:先用两句写“中心发布消息、开新俱乐部”。再写三句介绍三个活动(什么时候、在哪里)。最后写两到三句:谁喜欢什么、因为…所以…、他/她选择了哪个俱乐部。

      English tips: Start with 2 sentences about the announcement. Add 3 sentences describing the clubs with time and place. End with 2–3 sentences: who likes what, give one reason with because/so, and say which club each person chose.

      document.querySelectorAll(‘.tab-group’).forEach(group => { const buttons = group.querySelectorAll(‘.tab-btn’); const contents = group.querySelectorAll(‘.tab-content’); buttons.forEach(button => { button.addEventListener(‘click’, () => { buttons.forEach(btn => btn.classList.remove(‘active’)); contents.forEach(content => content.classList.remove(‘active’)); button.classList.add(‘active’); document.getElementById(button.dataset.tab).classList.add(‘active’); }); }); });

      第一次买车

      小丽工作三年了,她觉得应该给自己买一辆车。她大学毕业后,一直坐地铁上班。虽然这样很方便,但是每次下雨,她的衣服都会湿。有时候地铁太,她连地方都没有站。

      有一天,她对朋友小王说:“我想买车了。” 小王笑着说:“好啊!我可以帮你看。” 于是他们一起去看车。

      他们去了三家汽车店。第一家车太,第二家车颜色不好看。第三家店有一辆红色的小车,小丽一看就喜欢了。价格也合适。她问:“这辆车多少钱?” 售货员说:“八万元。” 小丽想了想,说:“能便宜一点吗?” 售货员笑着说:“七万八千可以吗?” 小丽点头:“好吧,我要了!”

      买车以后,小丽觉得非常高兴。她第一次开车去上班,觉得世界都不一样了。她听着音乐,看着蓝天,心里很舒服。

      不过,买车以后她也发现了一些问题。她必须每周开车去洗车店,还要加油。她开始学习怎么保养汽车。起初她不会换轮胎,也不会看油。后来朋友教她,她就慢慢了。

      三个月后,小丽写了一篇微信日记:“买车不是最重要的,重要的是学会责任。我的小车就像我的朋友一样!” 朋友们都佩服她,说:“小丽,你越来越成熟了!”

      Buying My First Car

      Xiao Li has been working for three years and decides to buy her first car. She is tired of commuting on the subway, especially in the rain. One day, she tells her friend Wang that she wants to buy a car. They visit several dealerships before finding a small red car that she loves. After negotiating the price, she happily buys it. Later, she learns that owning a car also means maintenance and responsibility. Over time, Xiao Li becomes more mature and proud of her choice.

        第一次买车

        小丽工作三年了,她觉得应该给自己买一辆车。她大学毕业后,一直坐地铁上班。虽然这样很方便,但是每次下雨,她的衣服都会湿。有时候地铁太,她连地方都没有站。

        有一天,她对朋友小王说:“我想买车了。” 小王笑着说:“好啊!我可以帮你看。” 于是他们一起去看车。

        他们去了三家汽车店。第一家车太,第二家车颜色不好看。第三家店有一辆红色的小车,小丽一看就喜欢了。价格也合适。她问:“这辆车多少钱?” 售货员说:“八万元。” 小丽想了想,说:“能便宜一点吗?” 售货员笑着说:“七万八千可以吗?” 小丽点头:“好吧,我要了!”

        买车以后,小丽觉得非常高兴。她第一次开车去上班,觉得世界都不一样了。她听着音乐,看着蓝天,心里很舒服。

        不过,买车以后她也发现了一些问题。她必须每周开车去洗车店,还要加油。她开始学习怎么保养汽车。起初她不会换轮胎,也不会看油。后来朋友教她,她就慢慢了。

        三个月后,小丽写了一篇微信日记:“买车不是最重要的,重要的是学会责任。我的小车就像我的朋友一样!” 朋友们都佩服她,说:“小丽,你越来越成熟了!”

        Buying My First Car

        Xiao Li has been working for three years and decides to buy her first car. She is tired of commuting on the subway, especially in the rain. One day, she tells her friend Wang that she wants to buy a car. They visit several dealerships before finding a small red car that she loves. After negotiating the price, she happily buys it. Later, she learns that owning a car also means maintenance and responsibility. Over time, Xiao Li becomes more mature and proud of her choice.

      New Year in the City

      Today is the day before New Year, and Zhang Lei and his family are very busy in the city. Mum is cooking in the kitchen, Dad is cleaning the living room, and little sister is tidying her clothes in the bedroom because tomorrow they will go to a friend’s home to celebrate the New Year together.

      In the afternoon, Zhang Lei goes to the mall with his friend to shop. There are many red lanterns and colored lights in the mall, and at the door of every shop there is a big New Year sign with “Happy New Year” written on it. There are many people and everyone is very happy.

      Zhang Lei wants to buy a new piece of clothing for his mum and also a gift for his little sister. He sees a red dress that is very pretty and also very cheap, so he buys it for his sister. For his mum, he buys a blue top, because blue is her favorite color.

      In the evening, the streets are full of people. The street lights and big screens all light up. Some people are dancing, some are singing, and others are taking photos. There are stars in the sky, and everyone is waiting for midnight.

      Dad takes the whole family to their friend’s home. The friend’s home is not far, only ten minutes on foot. On the way, they walk and talk at the same time, chatting about their plans for next year.

      When they arrive, the door is already open and good smells and laughter come from inside. Their friends have already arrived and are sitting around the table together. On the table there are many dishes: dumplings, noodles, beef, and fruit.

      Everyone eats and chats. Some people watch TV and some play games. On TV, a New Year’s Eve show is playing. Little sister especially likes dancing, so she dances together with the other friends.

      When it is almost midnight, everyone goes outside to watch the fireworks. At the same time, the big clock in the city center starts to strike. Everyone counts down together, and when they reach zero, the sky is full of colorful fireworks and they all shout “Happy New Year!”

      At that moment, Zhang Lei gives a small gift to his mum, dad, and little sister. He thanks them for taking care of him during the year and hopes that next year everyone will be healthy and that his studies will be even better. His family feel very moved after hearing this.

      On the way home, the city is already quieter than before. On the sides of the road they can still see the lights from the shops and a little smoke from the fireworks. Zhang Lei feels that today is very special, because he not only celebrated the New Year with family and friends, he also wrote down his own wishes.

      After arriving home, he puts a New Year card on his desk. On it he writes: “Study hard, spend more time with family, and be a good friend.” Smiling, he turns off the light and goes to sleep, hoping that the new year will be even better.

      你可以先写新年前一天家人在家里做什么,然后写下午在商场看到的东西和买的礼物。接着说晚上去朋友家吃饭、看晚会,最后写倒数、新年愿望和回家的感受。
