Episodio 3

In this episode, we talk about the pleasure we get from hearing stories, and I share with you a beautiful tale about the joy that comes from helping others. Listen now, and then read the (shortened) transcript below to check your understanding.

This story takes place in a hospital, many years ago. And there was a room where there were two men, both seriously ill. One of those men was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to drain the fluids from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend of all his time lying flat on his back. He couldn’t see anything, except the ceiling.

The men talked for hours on end. They spoke about their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, where they’d been on vacation, and the things they’d learned in their lives. And every afternoon, when the man in the bed next to the window, could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the wonderful things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed would live for those one-hour periods when his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and the colour of the outside world. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake, the man had said. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm amid flowers of every colour of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all of this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene..........

--------------------------------------------------
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.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
在中国，有的孩子除了学校的课，还会上一些课外辅导班。例如，钢琴课，美术课，演讲课等等。有的父母也越来越重视孩子的公众表达能力。那么应该如何培养孩子的表达能力呢？我们来听一听著名作家、教育家、演讲家刘墉先生的建议。
小孩很内向，要如何引导他敢于社交跟表达自己的看法？很简单，要从家里开始，所有的教育从家里开始。我的儿子他的普通话说得好的，口才也很不错，参加演讲比赛，总是得奖。你晓得他怎么练出来的吗？他在美国长大，但是他中文很好，是因为我常常训他。训完了我说："儿子，现在该是你的时间了。老爸刚才训了你20分钟，现在你有20分钟可以由你来表达了。"各位，当你训孩子的时候，你有没有给孩子时间让他能够答辩呢？让他答，他知道他要答，他在被训的时候就好好在想他要怎么答，而且这个答是非常好的训练，让他表达。于是，从家里走向外面，他会知道怎么保护自己，怎么说出自己心里的道理。
你有小孩吗？你是怎么培养小孩的表达能力的？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
