Whether one should learn an American or British accent is a constant debate among English learners. Here's my take on it. To give me suggestions for future podcast episodes follow me on Twitter @tanatswaforever.

        我们经常会说：中国的历史有“上下五千年”。那是从“三皇五帝“开始算起的。We often say that the history of China is " From BC to AD, there are five thousand years of time.". That's from the Three Kings and Five Emperors.
        真正有准确年代记载的，是从公元前2146年的“夏朝”开始，到1911年“清朝”结束，大致经历了18个皇朝。The real accurate chronological records, from the "Xia Dynasty" in 2146 BC to the end of the "Qing Dynasty" in 1911, roughly experienced 18 imperial dynasties.

中国历史上的“北魏”

In the late 1970s, a naive young secretary abandons her hometown in Cleveland for San Francisco, and heads into a brave new world of strange and wonderful characters, in this cult classic novel by the Charles Dickens of San Francisco Armistead Maupin. Maupin writes in a simple, but creative way to blend together the lives of some of the city's most-eccentric inhabitants; which makes the story highly accessible for language learners*.

*Suitable for adults over the age of 18.

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.

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。

什么是好的演讲？ What is a good speech? （Intermediate level）

Describe a time you were very busy.

You should say: 

When it was.
Why you were so busy.
How you managed it.
And explain how you felt about being so busy.





“ One of the busiest times I experienced was about 3 months ago, when I had to finish a very important and difficult assignment in order to graduate in my major, business management. 

I had only 2 weeks to complete this paper, and if I didn't meet the deadline, I would automatically fail my finals, as well as being unable to graduate, so it was of great importance to me. I also had a part-time job at this time, which took up a lot of my time and didn’t actually leave much time to complete my paper. 

The assignment was also very challenging, certainly  no walk in the park  and I needed to do a lot of research as well as collect a lot of data before I could even start to brainstorm ideas on how I would complete it. This meant I had to burn the midnight oil, and pull a few all nighters to be certain of having it finished to meet the deadline.

Although I didn’t exactly enjoy being so busy and under so much pressure, I felt very proud and satisfied to have completed the assignment after working all the hours god sent me. I was on cloud nine when I received my grade and discovered I got a straight A for the paper, and could now look forward to graduating.


Thank you…”
