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。
在中国，有的孩子除了学校的课，还会上一些课外辅导班。例如，钢琴课，美术课，演讲课等等。有的父母也越来越重视孩子的公众表达能力。那么应该如何培养孩子的表达能力呢？我们来听一听著名作家、教育家、演讲家刘墉先生的建议。
小孩很内向，要如何引导他敢于社交跟表达自己的看法？很简单，要从家里开始，所有的教育从家里开始。我的儿子他的普通话说得好的，口才也很不错，参加演讲比赛，总是得奖。你晓得他怎么练出来的吗？他在美国长大，但是他中文很好，是因为我常常训他。训完了我说："儿子，现在该是你的时间了。老爸刚才训了你20分钟，现在你有20分钟可以由你来表达了。"各位，当你训孩子的时候，你有没有给孩子时间让他能够答辩呢？让他答，他知道他要答，他在被训的时候就好好在想他要怎么答，而且这个答是非常好的训练，让他表达。于是，从家里走向外面，他会知道怎么保护自己，怎么说出自己心里的道理。
你有小孩吗？你是怎么培养小孩的表达能力的？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

Morning Exercise Best for Women's Heart Health
A new study has found that exercising in the late morning is better for women's heart health than exercising at other times of the day.

Researchers from Leiden University looked at data from the UK Biobank to find out whether the time at which people exercise has an effect on heart health. The data was collected from more than 86,000 women and men with an average age of 62.

Participants' exercise times were recorded over seven days, and heart health was observed for six years. The participants were grouped based on the time of day they exercised, including early morning, late morning, midday and evening.

It was found that women who exercised in the early morning — between around 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. — had a 22% lower risk of developing heart disease compared to those who exercised at midday. Women who exercised in the late morning — between around 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. — had a 24% lower risk.

No significant difference was found for men, or for anyone who exercised in the evening.

The data also showed that women who exercised in the late morning had a 35% lower risk of stroke compared to those who exercised at midday.

The benefits of morning exercise were true both for women who prefer waking up early and those who prefer sleeping late.

Study author Gali Albalak said that although she's not sure why exercising in the morning was found to be better for women than men, the results add to the evidence that morning exercise — and especially late morning exercise — may be best for our health.
