Because the moon is the roundest on this day, it also represents the reunion of the family, so the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a festival for families to get together. Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat mooncakes under the moon together. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! **Language**: English **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://sz-ht.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/mvo/sz-ht/210921/2261871_e80624492ba24aa0f5fb749122f2af42.hac) *215 likes · 102 comments · 3 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/RNDzymy2ZRNtDD.md) --- ## 3. 9/21/2021 English Conversation >Jane & Lucy< Jane: Hi Lucy, do you want to go grab some lunch? Lucy: Yes, that would be great. Jane: I want to try the new café on the corner near the library. Lucy: Are you sure, it’s very small and we may have to sit outside. Jane: Yes that’s why I want to go. It’s autumn now and the weather might not be good for eating outside again until the spring. Lucy: It looks like it might rain soon. Jane: No, the sky is clear and you can see the sun. Lucy: But there’s a gusty wind that makes it a bit chilly. Jane: We can wear our coats. It’s been cloudy for weeks. I want to sit in the sun for a bit. Lucy: Ok, but if it starts to rain we have to go inside! **Language**: English **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://sz-ht.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/mvo/sz-ht/210921/2261871_b4606a4fcf133ba54b94a65b3ae1ea98.hac) *96 likes · 47 comments · 4 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/RaxzDlpyBGNtDD.md) --- ## 4. 9/21/2021 Almost everyone watches at least a little bit of television. Some people watch a whole lot. So, doesn’t it make sense to watch some television shows in English? Get hooked on a great TV show. Getting hooked on, or addicted to, a great TV show is an excellent way to improve your English. In fact, most of the English learners that I’ve met watch all their television shows in English! **Language**: English **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://sz-ht.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/mvo/sz-ht/210921/2261871_c3c4636c586b4d954a00cf444d97af3d.hac) *89 likes · 63 comments · 2 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/twpvIxZ1rQNtDD.md) --- ## 5. 9/21/2021 Kathy and Anne are good friends. Recently, Kathy invited Anne to attend her 16th birthday party. Anne accepted the invitation. On Kathy’s birthday, however, Anne went to see a movie with some other friends and forgot all about the party. At school the next day, Kathy asked Anne why she hadn’t come to the party. Anne blushed because she suddenly remembered the invitation and felt embarrassed that she had forgotten. She wanted to tell the truth but she said something else instead. “My dog got sick and we had to take him to the veterinarian,” she replied. “Really?” asked Kathy. That’s strange... **Language**: English **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://sz-ht.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/mvo/sz-ht/210921/2261871_a7db5ae63319939bdfc80f180e922e1c.hac) *81 likes · 39 comments · 8 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/xFWxAPMFumNtDD.md) --- ## 6. 9/20/2021 Building Your Vocabulary Very Old = Ancient Meaning: When something has existed for a long time, you can say it is ancient.
