在小红书看世界杯，不要钱

This news

is about watching football.

"看球" (kàn qiú)

means watching a football match.

This summer

there is

a very big football competition.

This competition is called the World Cup.

Once every four years.

The World Cup has many matches.

There are 104 in total.

Many people all over the world

want to watch.

So the question is:

how do you watch?

In the past, in China,

to watch the World Cup,

there were mainly two places:

one was television,

and the other was an

app called "Migu."

These two

both let you watch.

But some matches

cost money.

Not every match

was free.

Today there is a new piece of news.

A new app

can also broadcast the World Cup.

This app is called "Xiaohongshu."

Have you heard of Xiaohongshu?

Xiaohongshu is a

Chinese mobile app.

Many people use it.

Many young people,

especially women,

use Xiaohongshu.

But in the past,

on Xiaohongshu

people did not usually watch football.

So why this time

is Xiaohongshu doing this?

Xiaohongshu says:

"We also want everyone,

"on Xiaohongshu,

"to be able to watch big matches.

What makes everyone even happier is:

all 104 matches

can be watched for free.

Free

means you don't have to pay.

You only need to open Xiaohongshu

and you can watch.

Many people, hearing this news,

were very happy.

Because in the past,

watching big matches

sometimes cost some money.

Now,

on Xiaohongshu,

you don't have to pay anymore.

I read this news,

and I thought of one thing.

When an app

wants to do something new,

it often gives everyone

some kind of benefit.

For example, this time,

it lets everyone watch for free.

But under the sky,

there is no free lunch.

The app doing this

also wants

more people

to use it.

So next time,

when you see

the two words "free,"

you can also think a bit:

the other side —

what do they want?

Finally I'll ask you:

Have you watched a World Cup?

Which country's team

do you like the most?

Think about it.

Okay.

That's all for today.

Talk tomorrow.
