       我家有五口人：爸爸、妈妈、哥哥、妹妹和我。我十二岁，是中学生。我养了一只宠物，它是一只白色的小狗，叫皮皮。我爱我的家人，也爱我的宠物，有时候我觉得皮皮就是我的弟弟，因为它喜欢和我一起玩。爸爸也喜欢皮皮，他每天下班以后都和皮皮一起玩。皮皮也喜欢爸爸，可是不太喜欢妹妹。你们知道为什么吗？

你养宠物吗？

Life sometimes challenges us with difficult circumstances. Getting through these complicated times takes support, motivation and skill, even though failure feels both scary and possible.

In this episode, we discuss how to stay motivated and consistent even during times of personal challenge.

Talking about Dialects and New Standard Japanese with Akari-san

Сегодня мы будем говорить о наших милых друзьях — о кошках 🐱. Вы когда-нибудь замечали, что они ведут себя странно? Например, почему кошки могут спать весь день, а ночью вдруг бегают по квартире, как сумасшедшие? Почему они обожают коробки и могут долго в них сидеть? Сегодня я расскажу вам, откуда у кошек такие интересные привычки.

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: Check the script and learn new words. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can then retell the story.
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游戏。
在我小时候，小孩子没有手机和ipad，我们的游戏是更传统的。那个时候最流行的游戏是《老鹰捉小鸡》，有一个小朋友当老鹰，一个小朋友当母鸡，其他小朋友躲在后面当小鸡。母鸡要保护小鸡不被老鹰捉走，被捉到的小鸡就输了。大家在草地上跑来跑去，又紧张又好玩。我们还有其他的游戏，例如：跳绳、打弹珠（也叫打玻璃珠）和打扑克牌等等。
现在的小孩子更多的时间花在学习上，没有那么多时间在室外玩。他们很小就有手机，可以在手机上玩游戏，看视频。因此，近视戴眼镜的小孩子也越来越多。
我觉得我们小时候可以玩的东西更多，学习压力比较小。现在的孩子有机会学习更多的东西，压力也比较大。真希望他们也有机会做一些我们小时候的游戏，虽然简单，但是很快乐。
你小时候喜欢做什么游戏呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
