Akıllı Tilki ve Aç Tavşan (The Clever Fox and the Hungry Rabbit)

我爱月夜，但我也爱星天。从前在家乡七、八月的夜晚在庭院里纳凉的时候，我最爱看天上密密麻麻的繁星。望着星天，我就会忘记一切，仿佛回到了母亲的怀里似的。 

三年前在南京我住的地方有一道后门，每晚我打开后门，便看见一个静寂的夜。下面是一片菜园，上面是星群密布的蓝天。星光在我们的肉眼里虽然微小，然而它使我们觉得光明无处不在。那时候我正在读一些关于天文学的书，也认得一些星星，好像它们就是我的朋友，它们常常在和我谈话一样。 

如今在海上，每晚和繁星相对，我把它们认得很熟了。我躺在舱面上，仰望天空。深蓝色的天空里悬着无数半明半昧的星。船在动，星也在动，它们是这样低，真是摇摇欲坠呢！ 

渐渐地我的眼睛模糊了，我好像看见无数萤火虫在我的周围飞舞。海上的夜是柔和的，是静寂的，是梦幻的。我望着那许多认识的星，我仿佛看见它们在对我霎眼，我仿佛听见它们在小声说话。这时我忘记了一切。在星的怀抱中我微笑着，我沉睡着。我觉得自己是一个小孩子，现在睡在母亲的怀里了。 

有一夜，那个在哥伦波上船的英国人指给我看天上的巨人。他用手指着：那四颗明亮的星是头，下面的几颗是身子，这几颗是手，那几颗是腿和脚，还有三颗星算是腰带。经他这一番指点，我果然看清楚了那个天上的巨人。看，那个巨人还在跑呢！

Episode #77 - 16 Personality Types

Speaker one: I’ve had many language lessons over the years. My lessons at school were mundane and a waste of time. They involved rote learning which meant we just repeated everything the teacher said, and we had a lot of grammar lessons! However, when I started university, everything changed. The classes were engaging and practical. I remember a grammar lesson about conditionals in my first term. The teacher introduced the language through a funny picture story and included many engaging activities to help us work out the rules for ourselves and practice the language in a meaningful way. Not only was it enjoyable, but it was also effective as I left the class feeling like I’d really learned something.


Speaker two: Honestly, I think my most enjoyable English classes were at primary school. Our teacher, Miss Hinker was wonderful and very musical. She loved singing and taught us new songs all the time. She gave us musical instruments that we could use too. I’ll never forget the time she taught us a new song called ‘There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.’ I must have been around eight at the time. It was a song about a lady who ate many animals, finishing with a horse. It was hilarious. First, she showed us all the actions and then we sang the song many times and played the instruments. We laughed a lot, and I still remember the words to this day. I never wanted those lessons to end.
