In todays episode I would like to discuss the importance of stress, and the coping mechanisms you should use! 

Let's have a chat (Discussions In English) 

Episode 5 : Why do we have stress? Let's find out! 

Agora que você já está craque em utilizar o pronome Te, vamos ao Lhe! O pronome “lhe” é usado para substituir o complemento de um verbo indireto, ou seja, um verbo que exige a preposição (a, para ) como antecedente na terceira pessoa do singular, seja ela qual for: Ele, Ela ou Você. Exemplo: Paguei a José. Quem paga, paga alguma coisa A alguém: Paguei-lhe Paguei a Bruna. Paguei-lhe Exatamente igual, não importa se o final da frase, se o complemento for masculino ou feminino. O pronome lhe serve para os dois gêneros! Mais exemplos: Eu dei um conselho para você. Querendo substituir “para você”. Eu lhe dei um conselho Nós pedimos uma ajuda a ele. Substituindo “a ele”. Nós lhe pedimos uma ajuda. Eles prometeram os céus a ela. Substituiremos “a ela”. Eles lhe prometeram os céus! É possível pluralizar: Paguei aos meus amigos. Paguei-lhes Uma pausinha para explicar a Pronúncia do Lhe: O som de L e H pronunciados juntos, nós chamamos de dígrafo - quando uma palavra tem consoantes que perdem o som próprio, formando, assim, um único som.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
大家知道成语吗？成语一般是四个字，很多成语背后都有一个故事。我们可以用四个字的成语来表达一些特定的意思。如果你和中国人聊天的时候说成语，他们一定会觉得你的中文非常厉害。那今天我们来学一些带有动物的成语吧。
第一个是鼠目寸光。它的意思是：老鼠的眼睛只能看到一寸远的地方。一寸是3.33厘米，很短的距离。所以这个成语可以用来形容一个人只考虑眼前的事情，没有远见。例如，一个老板只考虑现在赚更多的钱，不考虑公司以后的发展，我们可以说他鼠目寸光。
第二个是对牛弹琴。它的意思是，对一头牛弹琴，牛一点儿也听不懂。所以这个成语可以用来表示，跟不懂的人说是没有用的，浪费时间。例如，你朋友对科幻电影一点也不懂，一点也不感兴趣。你和他说了半天，真是对牛弹琴。
第三个是望子成龙。它的意思是，希望自己的孩子能成为一条龙。这个成语用来表示，父母希望自己的子女能在学业和事业上有成就。例如，许多家长望子成龙，星期日也不休息，陪着孩子去上各种各样的培训班。
最后一个是马到成功。它的意思是，马一到就成功了。这个成语用来表示成功迅速而且顺利，我们可以用来鼓励别人。例如，你的朋友要参加一个重要的比赛，或者有一个重要的工作，你可以跟他说：“祝你马到成功。”
你还知道哪些成语呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

Talk to Cara in Chinese

10. 道歉 make an apology

How’s it going?… or sometimes in the US we say… How goes it?  It means the same thing.  How goes it is informal and friendly.

So, what are we talking about today.

Techno, Rock, Hip Hop, Classical – whatever the genre is, we have all been exposed to music in one way or another. According to Nielson’s Music 2014 study, 94% of the American population chose to listen to music for 25 hours per week on average. I have a sound system in my office so that I can blast music during my free time throughout the day but do you know that there are health benefits that come from listening to your favorite songs?

In this episode, I am going to talk about 5 ways that music can mentally affect your health.
So, let’s begin…

最近特别特别忙。一般我早上七点就醒了。躺一会儿之后，大概到七点二十吧，我就得起床。起来之后第一件事情，先喂猫，然后稍微把家里打扫一下。八点之前，我肯定就吃完饭了。然后我一般会看半小时书。我很喜欢看书，中文的英文的都会看。我一般九点去上班，中午有两个小时休息时间。下午五点下班，回家之后我可能会去健身房，运动一个小时左右，然后回家休息或者放松。

Story Chinese

我的一天 my day (elementary level)

When our circumstances change, so does our mind. Some people may not be able to see the way things were before, and might not be able to appreciate them. There are many things to take away from this story, not just one.
This is one of the inspirational short stories that left me speechless.
