オルゴールの 大きな大きな音色は、ちかくの星にも とどきました。

「博士、なんだいこりゃ？」
「音楽だねえ。うん。いい音色だ。ちょいと休けいしようかの」
「オンガク、オンガク」

その音色は、空に住む すべての人間をつつみこみました。
そして5000メートル下の『森』で あそぶこどもたちにも ふりそそぎました。
「ありゃりゃ？　音楽がふってきた。こりゃゆかいだ」
「お婆、オイラたちの好きな音楽が空から ふってきたぞー」
「お婆、これは空中帝国から聴こえてくるぞー」
「おい、お婆！」

さわぐ こどもたちの奥で、ゆりいすに すわっている ひとりの老婆が、
目に涙をためています。

「どうした、お婆。なにかあったのかい？」

老婆は やさしく こたえたのでした。

「阿呆が つなげよったんじゃ」

In this episode we will talk about 【What is a good speech?】, you will learn how to say 【informal,public welfare,emotional】 ect. The material helps you get used to different voice and accent. 
--------------------------------------------------
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: Check the script and learn new words. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can then retell the story.
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。
我们经常需要在各种各样的场合中讲话，有时候是非正式的聊天，有时候是正式的演讲。那么什么样的演讲才是好的演讲呢？我们来听一听刘墉先生的看法。
主持人：您觉得对您来说什么是一场成功的演讲？
刘墉：就是把你心里要说的，你都尽量地完全地顺顺当当地表达出来，而且让听众能够得到感动。你真实的情感，让他能够感触到，而且他们感动了之后能够延伸下去，就（是）说产生影响力。我记得有一次我在山西太原做公益演讲，讲完了大家除了有公益的捐款之外，出了场子知道有一个有个孩子在那哭，说他脚踏车被偷了，一个听讲的人就说没关系，我来出钱我给你去买一辆。让我非常地惊讶，那个人后来跟我说，他说：“刘老师，我听了演讲，我觉得我们让下一代快乐，帮别人解决问题，那其实就是解决我们自己心理的问题。”也就是它产生了正面的影响，我们不会只是希望在这个场子里头他感动，应该能够延伸下去，甚至能够影响人的一生。而且我的经验，一场成功的演讲，尤其是感性的演讲，当你讲完的时候，除了掌声之外，你会注意很多人会留在场子上不急着走，他们依然坐在那边。为什么？他们正在取决于他们咀嚼所听到的东西。我们要讲的东西让人能在现场听得精彩，让他在未来能够咀嚼，让他人生当中能够实现，这就是好的演讲。
你觉得什么是好的演讲？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

Yuli's Chinese Channel

什么是好的演讲？ What is a good speech? （Intermediate level）

In this episode we are going to learn 【Having meals】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
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 already, 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: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

 Ciao a tutti/e! Oggi il nostro podcast  esplora le affascinanti storie e leggende di uno dei dolci più amati del nostro paese. Parleremo di uno dei dolci natalizi più iconici: il panettone. Scopriremo insieme le sue origini medievali, le tradizioni e le leggende che lo circondano, e la sua evoluzione nel corso dei secoli.

Dalle prime testimonianze documentate nel 1470, passando per le ricette dei cuochi rinascimentali, fino alle innovazioni del XX secolo, il panettone ha una storia ricca di curiosità e cambiamenti. Vi racconteremo di come un semplice pane di frumento si sia trasformato in un dolce arricchito con burro, uova, zucchero e canditi, diventando un simbolo delle festività natalizie in Italia e nel mondo.

Non mancheranno le leggende che hanno contribuito al fascino del panettone, come quella del garzone di Ludovico il Moro e del falconiere innamorato. Concluderemo parlando del panettone moderno, dalla produzione artigianale a quella industriale, e di come continua a essere celebrato oggi.

Preparatevi a un viaggio gustoso e appassionante nella storia del panettone! Buon ascolto!
