Former President Trump has issued another warning to Iran, while Israel launched its largest attack since the invasion of Lebanon. On April 9th at 12:30 PM, Charles Zhang, Founder, Chairman of the Board, and CEO of Sohu.com, hosted a live session on the Sohu Video "Follow Stream" for his program "Charles Zhang's English Lesson." He shared analysis of international news in both Chinese and English, helping viewers easily master authentic English expressions.
Although the US and Iran agreed to a two-week ceasefire, tensions in the Middle East remain high. During the live broadcast, Zhang shared two reports related to the Middle East situation. According to media reports, former US President Trump stated on social media that all US ships, aircraft, and military personnel, along with additional ammunition, weaponry, and any other appropriate and necessary supplies, will remain stationed in and around Iran until the agreed terms are fully complied with. He added, "If the agreement is not upheld for any reason, then conflict will reignite on a scale larger, stronger, and more severe than anything seen before."
Another international news story shared by Zhang focused on a new round of attacks launched by Israel against Lebanon. On April 8th, Israel conducted its largest airstrike since March, resulting in at least 182 deaths and 890 injuries, with the death toll potentially rising further. Multiple countries and international organizations, including the United Nations, have condemned the attacks.
Additionally, Zhang cited reports sharing the latest developments in the US Long Island serial killer case. According to reports, serial killer Rex Heuermann recently admitted in court to killing eight women between 1996 and 2010. Most of the victims were sex workers; he lured them with money before strangling, dismembering, and disposing of their bodies on Long Island beaches. He showed no remorse in court and will be formally sentenced to life imprisonment.
Throughout the live session, Zhang analyzed key English vocabulary related to the news content, including terms such as "command center," "assertion," "mediate," "rhetoric," "conquest," and "remorse." "Charles Zhang's English Lesson" is a representative knowledge live-streaming column on Sohu Video's "Follow Stream," airing live from Monday to Thursday at 12:30 PM. To facilitate review, selected clips and summaries of key vocabulary from each session are updated on the Follow Stream after the broadcast concludes. Chinese versions of the international news shared in the daily English lessons are also posted via the Follow Stream account "ZhiShi Video."
At the end of the broadcast, Zhang specifically announced to viewers the upcoming Sohu Video Follow Stream Conference, scheduled for April 18th in Haining, Zhejiang. As a premier event for content creator networking, this year's conference will feature many celebrity hosts and influential figures active on the Follow Stream, gathering to connect through video content.
