Today I am inviting Maroun from Lebanon to answer the question: "What was the best time of your life?"
This is a new concept I want to do, invite French speakers with various accents and have a nice casual chat with them in French so that you can get to see how we speak! I hope this will be entertaining for you and that you will learn some words and pick up some expressions! This should be some quality French input for you, especially when paired with this PDF (or Google doc):

［日常］7月7日は何の日？｜7月7日是什麼日子？｜What day is July 7th?

ドイツの田舎では庭に鳥小屋を置いている家をよく見かけます。
これは鳥を飼うためのものではなく、野生の鳥にえさをあげるためのものです。
私の家の大家さんもいつもひまわりの種を鳥小屋の中に置いています。
時々そこにえさを食べに来ている鳥を見ることができます。
私の家の庭には大きな木があり、窓から木に止まっている鳥を見ることができます。
先週、ドイツの家の庭で見ることができる鳥の種類を描いたポスターを買いました。私はドイツに来るまで野生の鳥にあまり興味がありませんでした。でも今はこのポスターを見ながら、「今日はこれを見たよ」とか「この種類はまだ見たことがないね」とパートナーと言って楽しんでいます。

日本で鳥といえば、カラスやハトですよね。カラスはゴミをあさったり、ハトはベランダにふんをしたりするので私は正直嫌いでした。
皆さんは鳥を見るのが好きですか？

田舎：いなか　countryside
庭：にわ　garden
鳥小屋：とりごや　bird house 
野生の：やせいの　wild
気軽に：きがるに　easily, casually
大家さん：おおやさん　landlord
ひまわり：sunflower
種：たね　seeds
窓：まど　window
種類：しゅるい　kind
カラス：crow
はと：pigeon
ゴミをあさる:　scavenge through garbage

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【命运和选择】的话题。
这两天，一个名为《回村三天，二舅治好了我的精神内耗》的视频在网上火了起来。两天的时间，1900多万的播放量、12万条评论、300多万的点赞和投币、100多万的收藏和转发。视频讲述了生活在农村的二舅平凡又有力量的一生，感动了很多人。二舅小学和初中都是全校第一，因为发烧后医生的错误治疗导致一辈子残疾。但是二舅并没有怨天尤人，他辛勤地做木工活赚钱，不仅领养了一个小女孩，还照顾着八十多岁的老母亲。除此之外，他还免费帮村里的邻居修各种电器。如果不是因为那次意外，二舅的人生会是完全不一样的结局。但是二舅从来没有这样想过，他的人生拿到了一副烂牌，但是他把这副烂牌打得很精彩。
作者说自己是个四肢健全、上过大学的人，又生在一个充满机遇的时代，他理应度过一个比二舅更为饱满的人生，而不应该因为一些暂时的小困难而陷入精神内耗。我想这也是很多人看了这个视频后很触动的原因，我们在二舅身上看到了勇气和对生活的热爱。
如果你是二舅，你会做什么样的选择呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
