Meu nome é Sérgio Ferraz, tenho 28 anos e moro em Juiz de Fora, cidade que amo de paixão. Trabalho no Centro de distribuição de cartas dos correios da cidade.

How can understanding these distinctions enhance your communication? Let's dive in. In this insightful conversation, Smith delves deeper into the essence of 'these' as denoting objects or individuals in close proximity, and 'those' as referring to things or people at a distance. They provide relatable examples, like 'Are these your keys?' and 'Can you pass me those books?' to solidify comprehension. By the end of this discussion, learners will wield 'these' and 'those' with confidence, enriching their language precision in day-to-day interactions.

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: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.
Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

《如愿》
你是遥遥的路
山野大雾里的灯
我是孩童啊走在你的眼眸
你是明月清风
我是你照拂的梦
见与不见都一生与你相拥
而我将爱你所爱的人间
愿你所愿的笑颜
你的手我蹒跚在牵
请带我去明天
如果说你曾苦过我的甜
我愿活成你的愿
愿不枉啊愿勇往啊
这盛世每一天
你是岁月长河
星火燃起的天空
我是仰望者就把你唱成歌
你是我之所来
也是我心之所归
世间所有路都将与你相逢
而我将爱你所爱的人间
愿你所愿的笑颜
你的手我蹒跚在牵
请带我去明天
如果说你曾苦过我的甜
我愿活成你的愿
愿不枉啊愿勇往啊
这盛世每一天
山河无恙烟火寻常
可是你如愿的眺望
孩子们啊安睡梦乡
像你深爱的那样
而我将梦你所梦的团圆
愿你所愿的永远
走你所走的长路
这样的爱你啊
我也将见你未见的世界
写你未写的诗篇
天边的月心中的念
你永在我身边
与你相约一生清澈
如你年轻的脸

Yuli's Chinese Channel

中文歌《如愿》 Chinese song <Having your wishes fulfilled> （Advanced level）

Switzerland has a problem, and it needs your help.

Between 1918 and 1964, lots of military ammunition was thrown into lakes around the country. At the time, it was believed to be a safe way to dispose of it.

And it wasn't a small amount, either. According to a government press release, about 8,000 metric tons of ammunition lies underwater, mostly in three lakes: Lake Thun, Lake Brienz and parts of Lake Lucerne.

Some of the ammunition lies as deep as 220 meters, and some is just a few meters deep.

Now, the country needs help getting it out, and it's offering a prize of about $58,000 for the best ideas.

Getting the ammunition out won't be easy — although it has been underwater for a long time, the risk of explosion is still high. Some of it weighs up to 50 kilograms, and the water visibility is poor in many parts of the lakes.

Some of the ammunition has components that can pollute the water and soil if moved, so the government is also looking for ideas that are environmentally friendly.

The competition to find the best idea is open now, and will run until February 2025. The three best ideas will be announced in April next year, and the winners will share the $58,000 prize.

The government said this doesn't mean the ideas will be implemented immediately, but said they could help with future research on the issue of underwater ammunition.
