It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary)
Step 2: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.
Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
每个人多多少少都有一些烦恼，不同年龄的人烦恼的事情可能不太一样。今天我们来听听一个采访，从5岁到90岁的人，聊聊他们人生的难题。采访有点长，我们分两次听，今天先听5岁到40岁的。
5岁：能不能不去上学啊？
10岁：我都这么大了，还要上学，所以应该没有办法了，就是要上一辈子学。我的人生难题是我以后上清华还是北大呀。
15岁：你先能考上初中再说吧。我喜欢我们班上的一个男生，他好像不喜欢我。
22岁：有可能是他不喜欢女生啊。（我的难题是）找不到男朋友。
25岁：找不着挺好的。因为找着也得分，挺不靠谱的，你还不如25岁找完了直接就结婚呢。
25岁：我想给我爸妈买房。我就想知道那些三十岁的人是怎么做到的。
30岁：你应该去问四十岁的人。我也没钱。我感觉自己到了人生的瓶颈期，比较迷茫。
40岁：在这个年龄有这种感觉我特别懂，不过，不要怕，坚持就是胜利。因为未来还有更大的瓶颈。我从15岁半就开始工作挣钱了。当过歌手，很有趣；当过演员，也很有趣；现在当导演了，也很有趣。我的疑问就是，我什么时候可以退休啊。
你几岁？你的人生难题是什么呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

人生从5到90岁的难题① The conundrum of life from 5 to 90 years old（Intermediate level）

Have you ever considered the importance of emotional well-being in language learning? Smith certainly has. Recognizing that mastering a new language can be a formidable journey, she diligently checks in on her students emotionally. It's not just care; Smith understands that personal struggles can profoundly impact the learning process. That's why she's introduced a special lesson, 'Expressional English,' where students can freely discuss their challenges and seek support. In this unique space, Smith ensures that her students not only learn a language, but also feel supported and understood throughout their linguistic endeavors

在运动场

大家好！今天我们要聊一聊中国传统节气小寒。小寒是中国二十四节气中的第二十三个节气，每年在公历的1月5日至7日之间准时登场。在这个时候，北方的雪花开始飘落。不过小寒时节，虽寒犹美。这个时节，梅花凌寒盛开，民间有小寒赏梅的习俗。而在北方，平均气温低于冰点，河面结冰厚实，十分适合冰雪运动。当然，到了小寒，吃的可是重头戏！围炉煮酒，羊肉汤轮番上阵，真是让人暖心又暖胃。
Hi everyone! Today, we’re talking about Minor Cold—one of China’s traditional solar terms.
Minor Cold is the 23rd of the 24 solar terms, arriving right on schedule between January 5th and 7th each year.
At this time, snowflakes begin to fall in northern China.But even in the chill, there’s beauty! This is when plum blossoms brave the cold and bloom proudly. It’s a beloved custom to admire plum blossoms during Minor Cold.
In the north, temperatures stay well below freezing, and rivers freeze thick enough for skating and sledding—perfect for winter fun! 
And of course… food steals the show at Minor Cold!
Nothing beats gathering around the stove, sipping warm wine, and savoring bowl after bowl of rich lamb soup—warming both heart and stomach!
Bonjour à tous ! Aujourd’hui, parlons de Xiaohan — « le Petit Froid » —, l’un des vingt-quatre termes solaires de la tradition chinoise. Xiaohan est le 23e terme solaire, et il arrive ponctuellement entre le 5 et le 7 janvier chaque année.
À cette époque, les flocons de neige commencent à tomber dans le nord de la Chine. 
Pourtant, même dans le froid, la beauté rayonne ! C’est maintenant que les fleurs de prunier osent éclore sous la neige. Une jolie coutume veut qu’on les admire à Xiaohan.
Au nord, les températures restent bien en dessous de zéro, et les rivières gèlent assez solidement pour patiner ou faire du traîneau — idéal pour s’amuser en hiver ! 
Et bien sûr… la nourriture est la vedette de Xiaohan !
Rien de mieux que de se rassembler autour du poêle, boire un vin chaud, et déguster une soupe d’agneau bien corsée — réchauffant à la fois le cœur et l’estomac !

Il film Luca

Il film d’animazione Luca è ambientato a Portorosso. Portorosso non esiste davvero, è un paese di fantasia, ma si ispira alle famose Cinque Terre, cinque paesi che si trovano in Liguria.
 Portorosso
I cinque paesi sono Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola e Riomaggiore. Il nome Portorosso è ispirato a Monterosso, invece l’aspetto del paese, soprattutto la piazza, è molto simile a Vernazza.
