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。
今天想介绍给大家的歌是王菲的《如愿》。这首歌是电影《我和我的父辈》的主题曲。作曲者说这是献给父母一辈的歌，致敬他们，正是他们一辈辈的奋斗与奉献，给大家创造了现在更好的环境和生活，也希望听歌的听众们能获取更多感动和力量，去传承，去奋斗。
《如愿》
你是遥遥的路
山野大雾里的灯
我是孩童啊走在你的眼眸
你是明月清风
我是你照拂的梦
见与不见都一生与你相拥
而我将爱你所爱的人间
愿你所愿的笑颜
你的手我蹒跚在牵
请带我去明天
如果说你曾苦过我的甜
我愿活成你的愿
愿不枉啊愿勇往啊
这盛世每一天
你是岁月长河
星火燃起的天空
我是仰望者就把你唱成歌
你是我之所来
也是我心之所归
世间所有路都将与你相逢
而我将爱你所爱的人间
愿你所愿的笑颜
你的手我蹒跚在牵
请带我去明天
如果说你曾苦过我的甜
我愿活成你的愿
愿不枉啊愿勇往啊
这盛世每一天
山河无恙烟火寻常
可是你如愿的眺望
孩子们啊安睡梦乡
像你深爱的那样
而我将梦你所梦的团圆
愿你所愿的永远
走你所走的长路
这样的爱你啊
我也将见你未见的世界
写你未写的诗篇
天边的月心中的念
你永在我身边
与你相约一生清澈
如你年轻的脸

In this episode we are going to learn 【My work】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
