Poesia di Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962), scrittore, filosofo e pittore tedesco. In "Io ti chiesi" Hesse i mostra una grande verità: gli occhi non mentono e solo guardandovi dentro capiremo il reale stato d'animo delle persone. 

Buon ascolto!

"Io ti chiesi"

Io ti chiesi perché i tuoi occhi
si soffermano nei miei
come una casta stella del cielo
in un oscuro flutto.

Mi hai guardato a lungo
come si saggia un bimbo con lo sguardo,
mi hai detto poi, con gentilezza:
ti voglio bene, perché sei tanto triste.

H.H.

As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

周末计划 Weekend plan（for beginner）

Lehrer gesucht!

(A)   ZUM GEGENWÄRTIGEN ZEITPUNKT gibt es in Deutschland viel zu wenig Unterrichtspersonal. Der Lehrermangel an den Schulen verschärft sich mehr und mehr. Die Gründe sind bekannt. Schnelle Lösungen gibt es nicht.

(B)   Wie konnte es zu dieser Situation kommen?
Zum einen steigt seit über zehn Jahren die Zahl der Geburten und zum anderen die hohe ZUWANDERUNG aus dem Ausland. Beides führt zu mehr Schulanfängern in den Grundschulen.
Gleichzeitig sinkt aus demographischen Gründen die Anzahl der Erwachsenen, die diese Kinder unterrichten könnten. Dazu kommt, dass immer weniger junge Leute ein Lehramts-Studium beginnen und immer mehr  von ihnen ein solches Studium ohne Abschluss abbrechen. 

(C)  Eine weitere Schwierigkeit ist, dass die Fächer der jungen Lehrer ungleich verteilt sind: Es gibt genug Deutschlehrer und Sportlehrer, aber viel zu wenige für Mathematik oder Informatik.

(D)   Zur Zeit versucht man die Situation durch die Einstellung von Leuten aus anderen Berufen aufzufangen. Da diesen Menschen die pädagogische und didaktische Qualifikation fehlt, ist das nicht immer erfolgreich. Auch bessere Bezahlung wird das Problem nicht lösen. Man wird die Arbeitsbedingungen der Lehrer überdenken müssen: Das bedeutet kleinere Klassen und niedrigere Stundenzahlen.
