What's up? Today we have a new episode of the inglesonline podcast. Please subscribe to this podcast using the Podcasts app for iPhone or iPad, or listen to the episodes using the Inglesonline Android app. So I registered on this website, quora.com, but I haven't really used it for anything so far. Well... that is, until today. Have you heard of Quora? Are you a frequent user, or participant? For those of you who've never heard of it, I'm gonna give you a very basic explanation: Quora is a place where you can ask a question and get answers from people all over the world, so it's a place with lots of discussions being generated every day on pretty much every topic you can imagine. Anyway, I signed up a while ago and I probably checked the box for weekly digests... Oh, here's an update: I just looked at the Email preferences page and it doesn't seem like I opted into any kind of newsletter, so I guess they're sending this to me without my permission. Anyway, today that's a good thing 'cause through reading their newsletter I found the story that inspired today's podcast. So, just listen: "We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our order. While we’re approaching our table two people come in and they go to the counter: ‘Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended’ They pay for their order, take the two and leave. I ask my friend: “What are those ‘suspended’ coffees?” My friend: “Wait for it and you will see.” Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go. The next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers - three for them and four ‘suspended’. While I still wonder what’s the deal with those ‘suspended’ coffees I enjoy the sunny weather and the beautiful view towards the square in front of the café. Suddenly a man dressed in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar comes in through the door and kindly asks ‘Do you have a suspended coffee ?’ It’s simple - people pay in advance for a coffee meant for someone who can not afford a warm beverage. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Naples, but it has spread all over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwich or a whole meal. OK, so here's a recap of the story: in the city of Naples, in Italy, there's a café... probably more than one, where certain clients will pay not only for what they are ordering for themselves, but they will also pay in advance for people who don't have enough money to be buying their coffee. In other words, some clients will pay in advance for beverages for people who can't afford to buy them. I think most people will agree this is a nice story. What's your personal opinion about it? Like I said, I think most people will agree this is a nice story, a nice thing to do - that's actually my personal opinion. So if you disagree, if you think that these people shouldn't be paying for other people's coffees, let us know what you think in the comments! And let me give you a few more examples with the expression "I can afford" or "they can't afford", "he can afford" and so on. Are you familiar with this? That means simply "I have or don't have enough money to pay for this". For example, I can afford my dog's food but if I owned a thousand dogs then I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to afford all the necessary dog food. When people go out househunting, they have an idea of what kinds of houses they can afford. They usually go to neighborhoods where they can afford to buy a house. If they're tight on money,
