Jimmy è un signore inglese di Bristol. Abita in Italia, a Venezia, da pochi mesi. Jimmy ha lavorato per tanti anni come panettiere. Un giorno ha scoperto che un lontano parente gli ha lasciato in eredità cinque milioni di euro. Quindi Jimmy ha chiuso la panetteria, ha studiato l’italiano e poi è andato a vivere in Italia.
Adesso la sua vita è molto semplice ma felice: tutte le mattine Jimmy si sveglia presto e va a fare una passeggiata per le strade di Venezia. Di solito mangia un cornetto e beve un cappuccino al suo bar preferito, poi si siede a leggere il giornale fuori se c’è bel tempo o dentro se il tempo è brutto.
Mentre le persone hanno fretta perché devono iniziare a lavorare, Jimmy è calmo e tranquillo perché ha tutto il tempo del mondo.
Passa le mattine a leggere in biblioteca - a Venezia ci sono molte biblioteche, alcune civiche e altre universitarie - e a studiare la lingua italiana.
Dopo pranzo passeggia oppure voga una gondola. A volte visita le altre isole della laguna veneziana. Spesso visita i musei perché ama l’arte. Raramente passa un’intera giornata a casa e non cena mai da solo.
Lavorare come: Maria lavora come insegnante di italiano (Maria è insegnante di italiano), Lucrezia lavora come astronauta (Lucrezia è astronauta).
Lasciare in eredità: Il nonno ha lasciato in eredità ai suoi nipoti la casa al mare.
Il tempo è bello/il tempo è brutto: Oggi il tempo è bello, possiamo andare al mare. Puoi anche dire: c’è bel tempo/c’è brutto tempo. Esempio: domenica prossima c’è brutto tempo, staremo a casa tutto il giorno. Puoi anche dire “fa bello/fa brutto”: Com’è oggi il tempo a Milano? Oggi fa bello.
Avere fretta: Le persone la mattina hanno sempre molta fretta perché devono correre al lavoro.
Abitare in Italia da: Studio italiano da due settimane. Sono sposata da cinque anni.
Lavorare per tanti anni: Ho lavorato in Cina per due anni. Ogni giorno studio italiano per due ore.

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。

You may have heard the phrase “beating a dead horse”, which refers to continuing an effort that is no longer useful. But how do you know when your study methods, goals, or mindset are the dead horse? And when should you move on?

Let’s explore how to detect when something isn’t working, how to adjust your approach, and most importantly—how to avoid wasting energy on language learning methods that will never work for you.

🐴 The Dead Horse Theory in Language Learning
The Dead Horse Theory suggests that if a strategy no longer works, stop using it. But here’s the catch—most of us don’t realize we’re on a dead horse until it’s too late.
We keep pushing through outdated learning strategies, believing that more effort will eventually yield results. We blame ourselves for not being “smart enough” or “motivated enough,” when in reality, we might just be riding the wrong horse.

Here’s where self-awareness and rational decision-making come into play. How can you tell if you’re stuck beating a dead horse in your language journey?

A coach can be a valuable asset in overcoming the challenges posed by micromanagement. By providing a confidential and supportive environment, a coach can help individuals develop strategies to navigate these situations effectively.

A coach can help individuals pinpoint the underlying reasons for micromanagement. This could be a manager's insecurity, lack of trust, or simply a poor management style. Understanding the root cause is crucial for developing an effective strategy.

Micromanagement often thrives on employees' lack of confidence. A coach can help individuals build self-esteem, develop assertiveness skills, and learn how to communicate their needs and boundaries clearly.

A coach can guide individuals in developing open and honest communication with their manager. By teaching active listening and clear expression, a coach can help individuals create a more productive and respectful working relationship.

A coach can help individuals establish healthy boundaries with their manager. This involves identifying areas where autonomy is essential and learning how to assert those boundaries without creating conflict.

Micromanagement can often lead to feeling overwhelmed. A coach can help individuals develop effective time management and prioritization skills, enabling them to manage their workload more efficiently and reduce the need for constant supervision.

A coach can provide emotional support and encouragement throughout the process of overcoming micromanagement. By offering a listening ear and providing guidance, a coach can help individuals build resilience and maintain a positive outlook.

Remember, overcoming micromanagement is a journey, not a destination. A coach can be a valuable partner in this process, providing the tools and support needed to thrive in challenging work environments.
