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在中国工作是什么样的体验。在中国的工作大概可以分为这几种：公务员、国企、事业单位、民企和外企。
公务员的工作很稳定，一直以来都是最受欢迎的工作。特别是疫情以后一些公司倒闭，员工失业，大家更觉得有一份铁饭碗很重要。在中国，我们把这种很稳定的工作叫做铁饭碗，例如公务员、教师和医生等等。
国企就是属国家所有的企业单位，例如中国石油、国家电网等等。国企的好处也是稳定，但是发展有限，关系和人脉很重要。
事业单位是一些从事教育、科技、文化、卫生等活动的社会服务组织，例如教师、医生和研究人员等等。事业单位的工作也是比较稳定的，但是收入要看当地的经济，很多地方的待遇其实很一般。
随着经济的发展，中国涌现出一批营收上百亿的大民企。2023中国民营企业500强榜单显示，民营企业500强入围门槛达275.78亿元，比上年增加12.11亿元。京东、阿里巴巴和腾讯都是为大家熟知的企业。2016年到2018年可以说是中国互联网行业的高光时刻，薪酬待遇远远超过普通的公司。然而2022年开始的“裁员潮”似乎到了今年也没有停下来的趋势，这让很多中年失业者陷入“上有老、下有小，背负房贷和车贷”的危机。在民企的发展空间比较大，缺点就是不稳定，小公司制度不完善，管理混乱。
外企的工作曾经备受名校毕业生追捧，但是随着民企的崛起，外企的薪酬逐渐失去竞争力。不过外企还是有很多优点，例如：综合福利好，假期也比较多；上下级关系比较平等，也有利于开阔视野和眼界。
除了当“打工人”，也有越来越多的人选择创业当老板、做自媒体博主，或者其他自由职业。每种工作都各有利弊，找到适合自己的才是最好的。
你更喜欢哪一种工作呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

在中国工作 Working in China  （Advanced level）

I believe that motivation is a force which is always with us, but a poor schedule can often lead us to believe we have no motivation, when the issue is simply time or a wrong motive for learning.

Better time management and reminding ourselves why we want to learn is the key.
