Chinese Overview:

大家好，欢迎收听新一期的《五分钟中文》。今天我想跟大家聊聊中国的季节和气候，特别是冬天和夏天南北方的差异。中国的气候差别挺大的。北方的冬天很冷，干燥，而且有暖气，室内很暖和。而南方虽然冬天不那么冷，但湿气重，而且大多数地方没有暖气，所以有时候反而觉得更冷。夏天的话，北方的夏天很热但干燥，南方则热得又湿又闷。这些气候差异和地理位置也有关系，南北方的天气真是截然不同。听完节目后，欢迎分享你对中国气候的看法！

English Overview:

Hey everyone, welcome to the latest episode of 5-Minute Chinese. Today, I want to talk about China’s seasons and climate, especially the differences between the north and south during the winter and summer. China has a pretty varied climate. Northern winters are cold and dry, with heating systems that keep indoors nice and warm. In the south, winters are not as cold, but they’re very humid and most places don’t have heating, so they can actually feel colder. In the summer, northern summers are hot but dry, while southern summers are hot and humid. These climate differences are also influenced by geography, with the north and south having very different weather. After the episode, feel free to share your thoughts on China’s climate!

本集简介

大家好，欢迎收听新一期的《五分钟中文》！今天我们聊聊中国的高考和美国的 SAT 考试的差别。美国的 SAT 可以多次参加，而中国的高考只有一次机会，这带来了很大的压力。此外，美国的 SAT 只需一个上午三个小时就能完成，而中国的高考通常要三天，每科两个小时。最后，SAT 是全球统一的，而中国的高考是分区域的，录取标准也不同。

Episode Introduction

Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of “5-Minute Chinese.” Today, we’ll discuss the differences between the Gaokao in China and the SAT in the United States. American students can take the SAT multiple times, while Chinese students have only one chance at the Gaokao, which creates a lot of pressure. Additionally, the SAT can be completed in one morning in three hours, while the Gaokao usually lasts for three days, with two hours for each subject. Lastly, the SAT is standardized globally, whereas the Gaokao varies by region with different admission standards.
