大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【挑战】的话题。
你的生活中，遇到过的最大的挑战是什么呢？我想了一下我自己的经历，有两件事情我觉得是很大的挑战。
第一件事情是，大三的时候我去日本留学。大一大二的时候我学习非常努力，最后通过了面试，拿到了去日本当一年交换生的机会。那是我第一次出国，在那以前，我从来没有坐过飞机。在紧张和害怕中，我开启了日本留学之旅。到了日本以后，因为文化差异，语言障碍和学习压力，我遇到了很多的挑战。但是人往往是在困难中成长的，这一年我经历了很多，也成长了不少。
第二件事情是，我决定从兼职的中文老师变成全职的。在这之前，我在一家日本公司上班。我很喜欢我的同事，但是我对我的工作不是很有激情。我给学生上课的时候就很不一样了，我更开心，也更有活力。决定辞职是一个很大的挑战，因为我要考虑很多的事情。例如，收入是不是稳定？我是不是喜欢在家办公？最后我还是决定辞职了，因为我觉得可以做自己喜欢的工作是一件很幸运的事情，我应该好好抓住这个机会。
你现在的生活有什么挑战呢？我觉得我最大的挑战是做好时间管理，因为我想要做的事情太多了。我每天要给学生上课，我还做中文播客，做中文学习视频。我还想做更多的学习资料，帮助我的学生学好中文。这需要时间，我应该耐心点，一点点做。
关于挑战，你有什么故事？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

14 Listening tips for your IELTS exam

    Attempt all questions – there are no penalties for incorrect answers.
    Watch out for plurals in answers. If the question requires a plural answer, a singular answer is incorrect.
    Answers appear in the order they are heard in the audio. They come quickly or with large gaps between them.
    Prepare to hear a potential answer that is not the actual answer. This is common when two people are making plans. They first agree on meeting at a certain time, but then one remembers that they cannot so they decide on a new time.
    Take care when you transfer your answers and pay attention to the word limit for your answers on your answer sheet!
    Multiple-choice answers will ask for a letter (a, b, c, d). Write the letter and not the corresponding answer.
    When asked to complete a sentence using no more than two words, and the correct answer is “leather coat,” then “a coat made of leather” is incorrect. Same goes for numbers.
    Hyphenated words (like “part-time”) are considered as one word.

    Focus on what the speaker is saying not how they say it.
    Don’t take notes in complete sentences – jot down the key points and abbreviate. You only need to write down enough to help your memory later.
    Get the habit of distinguishing between essential and non-essential information. If two people are talking about making plans for a dinner date, the important information is the date/time they finally agree upon. Other dates/times they considered become irrelevant.
    Try to guess what the speaker is going to say. Speakers, will often drop clue words or outline what they will to talk about beforehand. This gives you the ability to start your own outline to then fill in.
    Listen to the audio while reading the audio script. This will help you get a sense of how questions are spaced out, as well as learning some useful common expressions that are frequently used in listening tests.
