T1 E1 - La Rama: Tradición Navideña de Veracruz México

Асханада жұмыс істеймін. Бүгін таңертең бір азамат келді. Кассадағы кезегі жеткен соң «Менің артымда тұрған қыздың кофесін мен төлеп кетейін. Менен оған «Қайырлы күн!» тілей салыңызшы» деді. Ол кеткен соң қыз оның қылығына таң қалды. Көп ойланбастан өзінен кейін тұрған адамға ол да солай жақсылық жасағысы келді. Осылай бес адам бірінен соң бірінің кофесін төледі! Жақсы күн тілеймін! Жақсылықты көп жасайық!

I work in the canteen. A man came here this morning. As soon as it was his turn at the checkout, he said, "I'll pay for the coffee of the girl behind me. He asked me just say, " good afternoon!" to the woman. When he left, the girl was surprised by his behavior. Without thinking much, she wanted to do the same thing to the person standing after her. So five people paid for coffee one by one for each other! Have a good day! Let's do good things more!

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。
每个人多多少少都有一些烦恼，不同年龄的人烦恼的事情可能不太一样。今天我们来听听一个采访，从5岁到90岁的人，聊聊他们人生的难题。采访有点长，我们分两次听，今天先听5岁到40岁的。
5岁：能不能不去上学啊？
10岁：我都这么大了，还要上学，所以应该没有办法了，就是要上一辈子学。我的人生难题是我以后上清华还是北大呀。
15岁：你先能考上初中再说吧。我喜欢我们班上的一个男生，他好像不喜欢我。
22岁：有可能是他不喜欢女生啊。（我的难题是）找不到男朋友。
25岁：找不着挺好的。因为找着也得分，挺不靠谱的，你还不如25岁找完了直接就结婚呢。
25岁：我想给我爸妈买房。我就想知道那些三十岁的人是怎么做到的。
30岁：你应该去问四十岁的人。我也没钱。我感觉自己到了人生的瓶颈期，比较迷茫。
40岁：在这个年龄有这种感觉我特别懂，不过，不要怕，坚持就是胜利。因为未来还有更大的瓶颈。我从15岁半就开始工作挣钱了。当过歌手，很有趣；当过演员，也很有趣；现在当导演了，也很有趣。我的疑问就是，我什么时候可以退休啊。
你几岁？你的人生难题是什么呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
