How to express your opinion in English (B1 -B2)

Привет! Dans cette petite histoire  je parle de la difficulté de choisir un cadeau. J’utilise beaucoup d’impératifs. J’utilise la méthode TPRS comme d’habitude. 

В ноябре у папы Кати день рождения. Ему будет 60 лет. Катя не знает, что ему подарить, потому что у него много хобби и интересов.  Поэтому она попросила родственников и друзей дать ей совет. 
- Не дари ему деньги! Папа очень хочет научиться играть на гитаре. Подари ему гитару! – сказала мама. 
- Папа любит читать фантастику. Подари ему книги братьев Стругацких. Но не дари ему подписку на электронную библиотеку. Ему нравится читать только бумажные книги, - посоветовал брат.
- Твой папа очень активный. Он никогда не сидит на месте. Подари ему туристическую путёвку на Байкал! - предложили друзья.
Все идеи были очень хорошие. Как трудно выбрать идеальный подарок близкому человеку…

Vocabulaire
день рождения – anniversaire
дарить/подарить подарки - offrir des cadeaux
советовать/посоветовать - conseiller 
предлагать/предложить - proposer 
подписка на электронную библиотеку - abonnement à la bibliothèque électronique
бумажные книги / электронные книги - livres papier/électroniques
он никогда не сидит на месте -il ne reste jamais en place
туристическая путёвка - certificat de voyage/ forfait voyage

A short introduction of your Stairway to English host!

我想小王子大概是利用一群候鸟迁徙的机会跑出来的。
I believe that for his escape he took advantage of the migration of a lock of wild birds.
在他出发的那天早上，他把他的星球收拾得整整齐齐，
On the morning of his departure he put his planet in perfect order.
把它上头的活火山打扫得干干净净。
He carefully cleaned out his active volcanoes.
他有两个活火山，早上热早点很方便。
He possessed two active volcanoes; and they were very convenient for heating his breakfast in the morning.
他还有一座死火山。
He also had one volcano that was extinct.
他想，“说不定它还会活动呢！”
But, as he said, "One never knows!"
他也把它打扫干净。
So he cleaned out the extinct volcano, too.
打扫干净了，它们就可以慢慢地有规律地燃烧，而不会突然爆发。
If they are well cleaned out, volcanoes burn slowly and steadily, without any eruptions.

火山爆发就象烟囱里的火焰一样。
Volcanic eruptions are like fires in a chimney.
当然，在我们地球上我们人太小，不能打扫火山，
On our earth we are obviously much too small to clean out our volcanoes.
所以火山给我们带来很多很多麻烦。
That is why they bring no end of trouble upon us.
小王子还把剩下的最后几颗猴面包树苗全拔了。他有点忧伤。
The little prince also pulled up, with a certain sense of dejection, the last little shoots of the baobabs.
他以为他再也不会回来了。
He believed that he would never want to return.
这天，这些家常活使他感到特别亲切。
But on this last morning all these familiar tasks seemed very precious to him.
当他最后一次浇花时，准备把她好好珍藏起来。
And when he watered the flower for the last time, and prepared to place her under the shelter of her glass globe,
他发觉自己要哭出来。
he realised that he was very close to tears.
“再见了。”他对花儿说道。
"Goodbye," he said to the flower.
可是花儿没有回答他。
But she made no answer.
“再见了。”他又说了一遍。
"Goodbye," he said again.

In this episode we will talk about 【What is a good speech?】, you will learn how to say 【informal,public welfare,emotional】 ect. The material helps you get used to different voice and accent.

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: Check the script and learn new words. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can then retell the story.
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。
我们经常需要在各种各样的场合中讲话，有时候是非正式的聊天，有时候是正式的演讲。那么什么样的演讲才是好的演讲呢？我们来听一听刘墉先生的看法。
主持人：您觉得对您来说什么是一场成功的演讲？
刘墉：就是把你心里要说的，你都尽量地完全地顺顺当当地表达出来，而且让听众能够得到感动。你真实的情感，让他能够感触到，而且他们感动了之后能够延伸下去，就（是）说产生影响力。我记得有一次我在山西太原做公益演讲，讲完了大家除了有公益的捐款之外，出了场子知道有一个有个孩子在那哭，说他脚踏车被偷了，一个听讲的人就说没关系，我来出钱我给你去买一辆。让我非常地惊讶，那个人后来跟我说，他说：“刘老师，我听了演讲，我觉得我们让下一代快乐，帮别人解决问题，那其实就是解决我们自己心理的问题。”也就是它产生了正面的影响，我们不会只是希望在这个场子里头他感动，应该能够延伸下去，甚至能够影响人的一生。而且我的经验，一场成功的演讲，尤其是感性的演讲，当你讲完的时候，除了掌声之外，你会注意很多人会留在场子上不急着走，他们依然坐在那边。为什么？他们正在取决于他们咀嚼所听到的东西。我们要讲的东西让人能在现场听得精彩，让他在未来能够咀嚼，让他人生当中能够实现，这就是好的演讲。
你觉得什么是好的演讲？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
