script: 
城市孩子上不了大学，对城市孩子影响不是那么大。但是农村孩子上不了大学，其实他就变成一辈子农民了。我觉得一个农民的孩子如果说能上上正规的大学的话，对他来说，扩大他的视野也好；扩大他对这个世界的理解以及人脉关系也好；以及他的自我认知也好，一定是有大大的好处。我相信进了大学整体来说命运总会变得更好。因为人们的想法是被观念改变的。那能够改变观念的人最好的地方就是大学。那他只要考上大学，哪怕是三本，是吧？那他大学四年给他的磨练；带来的眼光、感觉、格局肯定就不一样的。那个时候他再回到农村,他可能就变成农村的创业者，或者是变成农村中间最有想法的人。我觉得想法是改变世界的基础。

translation:
Being able to go to university or not has little effect on students from cities. But for students from rural areas, if they don't go to college, they will be lifelong farmers.
I think it would be good for a peasant's child to expand his horizons, understanding of the world， connections, and self-perception if he went to a proper university.
I think going to college will change your destiny. Because people's thoughts are changed by perspective. College is the best place to build a new perspective. As long as you can get into a university, even if it is just a third-class university. Four years of college life will change his new ideas and views. Then he goes back to the countryside, and he may start his own business, or he may become the most thoughtful person there. I think ideas are fundamental to changing the world.

10.俞敏洪：高考，农村孩子“改变”命运的唯一机会 Gaokao is the only chance for rural students to change their destiny.

في هذه الحلقة، نحكي قصة نبيٍّ قليل الكلام في الكتب،
لكن أثره عظيم…
نبيٍّ ارتبط اسمه بالعلم، والصبر، والصدق.

إنه إدريس عليه السلام.

يُقال إن إدريس عاش في زمنٍ قديم، بعد آدم عليه السلام.
كان الناس من حوله قد بدأوا ينسون طريق الله،
لكن إدريس اختار طريقًا مختلفًا.

كان نبيًّا صادقًا…
لا يقول إلا حقًا، ولا يدعو إلا إلى الخير.
وكان أيضًا عالمًا، يحبّ العلم، ويعلّمه للناس.

علّمهم كيف يكتبون،
كيف يفكّرون،
وكيف ينظرون إلى السماء لا إلى الأرض فقط.

لم يكن إدريس نبيًّا كثير الصراخ،
بل كان هادئًا…
قريبًا من الله…
طويل التفكّر.

كان يدعو قومه إلى عبادة الله وحده،
وإلى ترك الظلم،
وإلى العمل الصالح.

لكن كثيرًا منهم لم يستمعوا.

ومع ذلك… لم يتوقف إدريس.
لم يغضب،
ولم ييأس،
بل صبر.

وفي القرآن، يصفه الله بكلمات قليلة، لكنها عظيمة:

﴿وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِدْرِيسَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَبِيًّا﴾
﴿وَرَفَعْنَاهُ مَكَانًا عَلِيًّا﴾

مكانٌ عالٍ…
ليس فقط في السماء،
بل في المنزلة،
وفي القرب من الله.

قصة إدريس عليه السلام تذكّرنا بشيء مهم:
أن الطريق إلى الله ليس دائمًا صاخبًا،
أحيانًا يكون هادئًا…
مليئًا بالعلم،
والصبر،
والصدق.

هذه كانت قصة إدريس عليه السلام…
نلتقي في قصة جديدة من رحلة مع الأنبياء.

In the episode "How to Remember Any English Word," Teacher Smith emphasizes the importance of feeling confident while speaking English. They suggest that confidence is key to remembering words easily and provide a simple way to boost confidence instantly. Teacher Smith illustrates the concept by comparing it to rescuing a little girl from a pool, highlighting the idea that the value you bring to a conversation is more significant than any fear you may have.

The episode advises against focusing too much on fears, such as pronunciation or translating phrases, during conversations, as it can lead to forgetting words. Instead, Teacher Smith encourages listeners to focus on listening actively, as simply being present in a conversation is valuable. Additionally, they reassure listeners that making mistakes is natural, even for native speakers, and emphasize the importance of relaxing and letting speech flow naturally.

Overall, the episode offers two key points for speaking confidently: valuing participation in conversations and embracing imperfection. By prioritizing these principles, listeners can boost their confidence in speaking English.
