        我们经常会说：中国的历史有“上下五千年”。那是从“三皇五帝“开始算起的。We often say that the history of China is " From BC to AD, there are five thousand years of time.". That's from the Three Kings and Five Emperors.
        真正有准确年代记载的，是从公元前2146年的“夏朝”开始，到1911年“清朝”结束，大致经历了18个皇朝。The real accurate chronological records, from the "Xia Dynasty" in 2146 BC to the end of the "Qing Dynasty" in 1911, roughly experienced 18 imperial dynasties.

Pépète, le lapin
- Quand j’étais petit, raconte Pépète le lapin, ma maman m’a un jour demandé d’aller chercher six carottes dans le champ d’à côté.
En faisant des petits sauts, j’y suis allé. Hop ! hop ! hop ! Pas de danger à droite ? Rien à gauche ? Hop ! hop ! hop !
J’ai arraché les carottes et je suis rentré à toute vitesse à la maison. Maman s’est mise à crier. J’en avais pris beaucoup trop ! Il n’y avait plus de place dans la cuisine ! Ce n’est pas ma faute, je ne sais pas compter jusqu’à six !

Histoire 11 - Pépète, le lapin

Ziua de naștere a lui Matei: cum am sărbătorit-o și ce cadouri a primit? 

!!!! Îți recomand să citești transcriptul abia după ce ai ascultat și ai rezolvat quizul! 
TRANSCRIPT: 
Astăzi a fost ziua de naștere a lui Matei. El este născut pe 05.mai.2000. A împlinit 23 de ani. M-am gândit foarte mult timp ce cadou ar fi potrivit pentru el și cum ne-am apucat recent să învățăm tenis am ales să îi cumpăr o rachetă. M-am documentat ce rachetă s-ar potrivi cu stilul lui de joc și cu experiența și am ales una de la Wilson, verde. Pentru a sărbători am invitat prietenii în oraș, la un bowling, iar după la noi acasă unde am comandat o pizza. A fost frumos: am râs, am spus, am povestit. Când i-am cântat ,,La mulți ani” Matei s-a emoționat. Am obervat ca toți ne emoționăm atunci când ni se cântă ,,La mulți ani”. Este ceva special, simți că toți oamenii care s-au strâns alături de tine îți celebrează viața și că se bucură că te-au întâlnit.

Ziua lui Matei

Сегодня вторник.
Today is Tuesday.

На минутку я подумала, что сегодня уже среда.
For a moment, I thought it was already Wednesday.

Но нет!
But no!

Сегодня только второй день недели.
It’s only the second day of the week.

День начался хорошо:
The day started well:

я встала рано,
I got up early,

вкусно позавтракала
had a delicious breakfast

и даже приготовила лазанью на обед.
and even made lasagna for lunch.

Надеюсь, что она будет вкусной.
I hope it will be tasty.

На улице очень солнечно.
It’s very sunny outside.

Кажется, что сегодня будет тепло весь день.
It seems like it will be warm all day.

Надеюсь, что я смогу выйти погулять днём.
I hope I’ll be able to go out for a walk during the day.

Всем желаю хорошего настроения и хорошего дня!
I wish everyone a good mood and a great day!

Если у вас уже вечер, тогда — хорошего вечера.
And if it’s already evening where you are — then have a good evening.

Unyielding Learners: Grit-Fueled English Mastery

As a pessimist, you might view language learning as hard work—and you’re not wrong.
Language acquisition requires effort, repetition, and managing confusion.

Here’s the beautiful part: Pessimists tend to manage disappointment better than idealists.
When you anticipate difficulty, you're less likely to be devastated by it.

In psychological terms, this creates cognitive resilience—the ability to stay in the game even when things go wrong. You expect challenges. You face them head-on. You recover faster because you weren’t expecting ease.

You might never say, “I’m going to be fluent in a year.” That’s okay.
But you might say, “I’m going to keep learning, even if progress is slow.”
And that is the spirit of persistence.
Don’t try to change who you are. Just learn to steer with it.
Pessimism doesn’t mean you’re giving up—it means you’re prepared to endure.
And that, my dear listener, is what long-term success looks like.
