《假如》
假如我有一枝
马良的神笔，
我要给窗前的小树
画一个红红的太阳。
让小树在冬天
也能快活地成长，
不会在寒冷的北风里
缩着身子，轻轻叹息。
假如我有一枝
马良的神笔，
我要给树上的小鸟
画许多好吃的谷粒。
鸟妈妈再也不用
到遥远的地方去寻食，
让小鸟呆在家里
苦苦等待，饿得哭泣。
假如我有一枝
马良的神笔，
我一定给不幸的朋友西西
画一双好腿，
还他一个健康的身体。
他再也不会只坐在屋里
望着窗外的小树和小燕，
而是和我们一起
在操场上奔跑，在草地上游戏。
假如我有一枝
马良的神笔……

I'm still learning how to do this podcasting thing, but I'm trying to share my words anyway. I speak quite quickly in this episode... Sorry! I will try to speak slower next time. 

There's a question for you to answer at the end - in audio or written form - so if you have 10 minutes to listen, and then 5 minutes to answer the question that end -- why not GIVE IT A GO?! (which is another way of saying -  GO FOR IT! DO IT!) You have nothing to lose and lots to gain!

Using your words to speak about things that matter to you - that mean something to you - is a great way to create output and use your English. If you don't want to answer my question - you could try writing freely for 5 minutes. Or you could speak into your phone and talk about how you're doing/feeling today - or what's on your mind. It may feel strange, at first, and that's normal! But over time, speaking or writing - just for yourself - will start to feel good - and it's a WONDERFUL habit to start to build.

Thanks for listening, and see you next time!
