此话不假。”都江堰”、这个世界水利文化的鼻祖，是一座屹立了超过2000年的水利建设的丰碑，今天仍在使用。That's true." Dujiangyan, the ancestor of the world's water conservancy culture, is a monument of water conservancy construction that has stood for more than 2,000 years and is still in use today.
它的建立，让成都平原变成了千里沃野,也使四川一跃成为“天府之国”。 Its establishment transformed the Chengdu Plain into a fertile field and made Sichuan a "land of abundance".
这是公元前276年（秦昭王后期）蜀郡守李冰组织岷江两岸人民、花了25年建成的。It was built in 276 BC by Li Bing, Governor of Shu County, who organized the people on both sides of the Minjiang River and took 25 years to build.


新鲜事儿（Anecdote）

Host: Welcome back to the podcast everyone. I’m joined today by Naseem, an IT consultant from 
Delhi and Deepa, an HR consultant from Bangore. Today we’ll be discussing the increase in the number of people moonlighting and what the future holds for companies and workers. So, Deepa, I’ll ask you first: What has created this problem?

Deepa: Well, as with many places around the world, during the pandemic, there was a big increase in the number of people working from home and also economic instability. So, at the same time, we had more people working without any supervision and people were more worried about being able to make a living. So, the increase in online moonlighting was a consequence of that situation really.

Naseem: That’s certainly what happened to me. At the time, you read about all of these companies that were *laying off * their staff and there wasn’t much you could do about it if it happened to you. So suddenly working for just one company seemed like a bad idea. I have a family to feed: three boys and a girl. I felt a lot of insecurity and was terrified of losing money, or maybe even worse, my house. So, I took two jobs.

Host: What effect did that have on you and your family?

Naseem: It gave us some comfort, financially, as I started making more money than I had before the pandemic. But I was also working very long hours each day. I saw the children every day of course, but I couldn’t spend any real time with them as I had to work from almost as soon as I got up, until late in the evening. My wife was working as well, so it was quite hard to manage everything. When the crisis was averted, we had gotten used to having the extra money, so although I cut back on my hours in both jobs, I still continued to work at both.

Host: Do you see anything wrong with doing what you are doing?

Naseem: Not at all. I’m a professional and I work hard at both jobs. My main job is in IT as you mentioned, but my second is in design.

Привет, меня зовут Георгий, я родился в Москве, живу во Франции. Я веду уроки русского языка для иностранцев на сайте Italki. Я долго думал, с чего начать свой первый подкаст, и я решил посвятить его фразеологизмам, то есть устойчивым выражениям в русском языке. Для этого я сочинил небольшой рассказ, чтобы вы смогли услышать эти фразеологизмы. Это далеко не весь список, их еще больше.

Bueno, inicialmente, grabé con la intención de brindar la oportunidad a mis estudiantes de escuchar algunos de mis pensamientos o reflexiones sobre diversos temas. Ahora decido dar un paseo corto en el que puedo expresar uno de mis pensamientos relacionados con muchas cosas de las cuales puedo hablar. 🌲🐶 Me gustaría enfocarme en el país, ya que muchas personas que aprenden español conmigo desean conocer Latino América. Como una luciérnaga en la noche, es mi deber hablarles un poco. A veces, en una clase de gramática, no se puede hablar mucho, es mejor intentar transmitir señales gramaticales cuando tenemos conversaciones sobre diferentes temas. Muchos estudiantes me hacen preguntas y trato de que el estudiante participe. Creo que se pierde la oportunidad de hablar y comunicarse cuando solo hablo yo. Para eso me buscan. Ahora que estoy aquí afuera, caminando alrededor de un parque, es la oportunidad perfecta para plasmar ciertas opiniones y ver hasta dónde podemos llegar. Al fondo se escuchan perros y jóvenes practicando deportes. Como un pequeño plus, hay perros con sus dueños disfrutando del paseo. 🐶 🐕 🌲🌲
