In this episode, I talk about interviewing in a second language. Speaking in a second language is tough; interviewing is tough. Doing both of them at the same time? Well, it can feel like walking into the lion’s den. It’s not for the faint of heart.

5 Tips for Interviewing In English

听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。 

学习中文的你，听说过“早恋”这个词吗？这个词的意思，其实就是青少年时期的恋爱。这个词在中文中的意思，隐含着一种社会性的不认可。确实，多年以来，青春期孩子的“早恋”，让中国的老师和家长都如临大敌。

青少年情窦初开，喜欢上了同龄的异性，本来就是非常自然的事情。但是多年以来，在中国的大多数学校里，这样的事情都是被严厉禁止的。大人们担心“早恋”会影响孩子的学习成绩，更别提出现过早的性行为，导致严重后果了。虽然，这样的担心不无道理，但是，严厉禁止更有可能酿成大祸。因为心理学上有个效应，就是越被强力阻止的恋爱，越容易促进关系的发展。多年以来家长和老师对待“早恋”的高压政策，并没有实质性的改善这个现象。

其实，这样的现象主要归因于大人们的教育方式的问题。高压、禁止早恋，不是正确的教育方式。我想，正确的方式是善于引导孩子，让他们能正确的认识这个问题。对孩子的两性教育也是非常的重要，应该从小学阶段开始。这样的话，到了孩子开始喜欢异性的时候，就能够正确面对。青春期的孩子应该充分了解到此时谈恋爱可能会给自己的人生带来的影响，比如影响成绩导致影响升学，过早的性行为可能造成的严重后果等。但是话说回来，早恋代表着孩子开始长大成人，并开始探索亲密关系和什么是真正的爱。在我看来，这就是“早恋”的积极一面。只是希望中国的父母能更开明一些，不要过于的控制孩子的生活。近两年来，其实很多的中国家长已经能做的很好了，不过于干涉青少年的生活，让他们自由自信地成长。

好了，感谢你的收听，希望你喜欢今天的节目，我们下次见。

茶时话中文 -  “早恋”

Hi everyone, this is Jesse, your story writer, and you’re listening to the Being a Cloud podcast. 

More teachers are waking up to the power of stories to teach languages, and on this show, I share the stories I’ve made with my italki students for you to enjoy. 

Are you an ESL student? Do you want to make a story? Book a lesson with me and let’s create one together. 

In this story, an orange named Orangutan gets an unexpected text message from his girlfriend. This is part 1 of 3.  

~~~

Orangutan the Orange

Rain is pouring heavily onto a small town somewhere in Russia. It’s 8:15 in the morning on a cold Monday. 

Inside of a small, community-run gym, there is an angry-looking orange lifting some weights. It’s early, so no other members are in the gym. Not all the lights are turned on. The fourteen-year-old orange is alone lifting some dumbbells. 

8 – 9 – 10 – Rest… 

He takes in huge breathes to recover. He seems very driven to push his body to its limits. 

Again… 1 – 2 – 3… 

After completing his 5th set, the orange walks over to the bench press. He lays down on the bench, grabs the steel bar and lifts the 50kg weights. He’s very strong for such a young piece of fruit. 

Then, his mobile phone makes a sound. The orange completes his set, then grabs his phone from his bag. Two new messages have arrived. He opens the first one and scans the text. 

Hi, Orangutan, my dear, it’s me. I’m sorry to say, but our relationship is over. Please don’t visit me or call me anymore. You’re very strong and handsome, but you’re not polite or considerate. While I do care for you, sometimes I don’t feel safe around you…

The message stops there. It continues in the second message. But Orangutan feels so insulted and hurt by the message. He instantly deletes both of the messages, without reading the second.
