Astăzi am terminat de citit ,,Lecții de chimie”, o carte ce mi-a fost dăruită de @radioseven și pentru care le mulțumesc foarte mult! 
  Cred că dacă ești femeie, e imposibil ca această carte să nu te impresioneze: când vezi cât de puține drepturi aveau femeile, cum erau tratate ca niște persoane inferioare bărbaților, cum nu aveau dreptul de a fi ceea ce își doresc și cum nu erau auzite de nimeni atunci când încercau să strige nedreptățile la care au fost supuse.
 Și atunci mă întreb: e clar că acum am făcut un progres enorm față de anii ‘60 - drept dovadă, eu studiez medicina- dar oare am scăpat de toate nedreptățile la care sunt supuse femeile? Oare nu am auzit de foarte multe ori chiar și în zilele noastre: ,, Ea este femeie, ea trebuie să facă mâncare, curățenie!”. Sunt conștientă că unele diferențe dintre sexe sunt naturale și că trebuie să existe în continuare, dar a face curățenie, mâncare, a fi atent la nevoile celui de lângă tine, cred că nu ține de apartenența la un anumit sex. 
O carte plăcută, ușoară, dar care m-a tulburat și pe care am savurat-o! O recomand cu căldură! ♥️📚

Zwei und zwei zusammenzählen, das ist eine sprichwörtlich kinderleichte Aufgabe: ZWEI PLUS ZWEI IST GLEICH VIER. Addieren und subtrahieren lernt man schließlich schon in der Grundschule und so ist auch ZEHN MINUS FÜNF IST GLEICH FÜNF keine große Herausforderung für ein Kind. Das Multiplizieren kommt etwas später, es ist aber nützlich: Wenn ich von Oma und Opa und der Tante zum Geburtstag jeweils zehn Euro bekomme, dann habe ich DREI MAL ZEHN IST GLEICH DREISSIG Euro. Auch das Dividieren hat Anwendungsmöglichkeiten im täglichen Leben: Vom Kuchen sind noch sechs Stücke übrig und wenn ich sie mit meinen beiden Geschwistern teilen muss, dann bekommt jeder SECHS GETEILT DURCH DREI IST GLEICH ZWEI Stücke Kuchen.
Das Potenzieren ist dann schon etwas schwieriger: DREI HOCH ZWEI IST GLEICH NEUN und DREI HOCH DREI ERGIBT SIEBENUNDZWANZIG. Und schließlich gibt es da noch das Wurzelziehen: Die QUADRATWURZEL AUS NEUN IST DREI. Aber damit beenden wir für heutige Mathematikstunde.

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。
今天想和大家聊一聊【剩女剩男】的话题。
在中国，到了一定年龄还是单身，没有结婚的女人和男人被叫做剩女和剩男。这是一个不太友好的称呼。李银河老师是中国著名的社会学家，我们来听听她对这个话题有什么看法。
30岁好像是一个心理上的一个坎，女孩好像一过了三十岁就要被叫做“剩女”了，是吧？然后男孩也是，好一点儿吧，可能没准35岁，然后就算“剩男”了是吧。其实我是很反对这个“剩男剩女”这种说法，因为他这样说的时候，他有一个前提，就是人人都必须结婚。如果你要（是）不结婚，你就说剩下来的。说得更难听，你是被挑剩下来的。这个就是说你没有魅力啊，你失败啊，你不成功啊什么的，你不漂亮啊什么。种种的这个评价，所以我觉得不好。这个叫“剩女剩男”都不好。
人不一定非得结婚。我从80年代的时候，我看过一个国家统计局的数字，就是我们中国全人口里终身没有结过婚的占3.8%。大家就是至少觉得多了一个选项，就是我可以结婚我也可以不结婚了。就是过去这个选项是没有的，过去在中国如果你要是不结婚的话，你成为一个可怜的对象，觉得你的人生整个就是一个失败。你完全是个loser（失败者）。但是现在可不是了。现在独身可以作为一种，另一个选择了。那些（选择）独身生活方式的都是因为他们已经都安排好自己的养老，自己有能力养老，然后就可以做这种选择了。
就是说一桩爱情啊，有两个最重要的因素。一个是爱的能力，另外一个是运气，就是说你能碰上你爱的人。这两个因素缺一不可。我觉得其实爱情和婚姻跟年龄的关系并不太大。
你对这个话题有什么看法？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
