first, put you consonant on the left. Then put your vowel at the right or at the bottom.(It depends on the vowels, some are supposed to put at right and some are supposed to put at bottom). Then if there's a final consonant or two final consonants just put them on at the bottom after you put on everything. Is this a understandable description? lol, hope so.

for a different way of thinking or for fun.

either is fine.

电视节目 《证人》

我想向您介绍一下我喜欢的一个意大利电视节目，他的名字叫《证人》，
是意大利人最爱看的节目之一。
《证人》的主要人主角是一个记者。他叫PIF，这是他的外号。
他通过摄象机展现意大利的特色。他采访了很多名人: 歌唱家，演员，足球运动员以及模特儿(款式)。
他不仅采访名人而且还有普通人。
这个电视节目的主题很有意思，比如盲人的生活，歌唱家的事业，米兰时装秀，饭馆，宗教 等等。
为什么我喜欢看这个节目呢?
原因有很多 :
第一 ，因为节目里的人物都是表现真实的自己，不是表演，所以很自然。
(这一定不会让所有看节目的人失望，感觉非常高兴。) think about this twice. You are good. I bet you can make it better yourself.
第二 ，节目的主题很有意思 比如黑手党，政策，意大利的作家。
第三 ，我最喜欢记者自然的风格。这样，在电视机前面的观众看着人物着急，
弄错出糗和搞不清楚状况不知道怎么做的样子，就觉他们也和一般人一样，跟着他们一起笑，一起担心，还会给他们建议。这也是节目吸引人的地方。
当然这个节目不光是让人高兴，而且也让人思考现在意大利的问题。
意大利的社会会有正面和负面的反映 :一方面有经济危机和失业问题，另一方面有最好的风光，
美味的菜肴，创造力。

Excellent! Totally understandable and makes people want to keep on reading!

(It's hard for me to get simplified characters so I mostly write comments in English.)

4.死心眼.死心.心寒.鐵了心腸 (none of them are nouns, you can take the whole sets as phrases put into the sentence at the position of verb.) Chinese say "用心" means "with effort, with passion"(Chinese used to think we feel things, experience things with heart instead of brain.) So when your heart has already been dead means you don't have passion anymore. And when your eyes has already been dead means you don't look forward anymore. 心寒 means your heart that used to be with passion has been turned cold. Even frozen. 鐵了心腸 means your heart and intestine are turned into stone, so you won't be touched. (不會被軟化、感動) *Don't disguise 鐵了心腸 with 鐵石心腸，鐵石心腸 means the organs are originally stone, means "cool, with no sympathy nor mercy." 5.財迷心竅 we have to discuss 竅 here. 靈魂出竅: here, 竅 means your body. 七竅生煙:竅 means the holes of your eyes, nose, ears, and your mouth. Anyway, I don't know you would take this from which aspect. However, that's just means all the body or all the feeling are enchanted and controlled by money. 6.空落落 is a expression "you feel empty like you drop something and you cannot find it back or make it up." I mean maybe you can memorize this way. Cuz a lot of "an adj+ two same characters" in Chinese doesn't really mean something different from the first adj. (But sometimes they do. Alright, it's sometimes hard for native speaker as well.) 7.苦過來 過來here means "has been through" We call people have the same experience, have been through the same thing "過來人"。(The experience is often bitter, bittersweet, or valuable) Ex: You are bullied today, and Mary comes to tell you she was bullied when she was in elementary school. Then you can call her "過來人。" so we might hear some successful business men say "我也是苦過來的"which means " I had been suffering before." I guess that is! Really inspiring question! All in all, hope this helps!

If you don't read traditional Chinese just put it into google. Google gets no barrier to translate traditional to simplified. ( but gets barrier to change simplified into traditional.) When you are reading the passage, watch out the objective and subjective! They do not often appear or you can just see either one but not both. You offered really good words. 1.財迷樣 -means "the look of being (irrationally) enchanted by money." 瞧你一副財迷樣也知道這生意你是非接不可了。 -or it refers to the painting of the gods of Chinese myth that would help you gain money. It's an item about culture. 2. 敗家 *in Chinese traditional value, a "successful family" is often with a lots of money or great reputation. So "敗家" means "to squander your money or to break the reputation of your family ", that may be severe enough to make your family become fail. -about the money,(as a verb) 今天有錢剛好來百貨公司敗敗家。 This is a situation someone is joking about himself to consume in a department store. -about the reputation,(as a noun) 你這個敗家子，竟然在外頭跟人打架還被抓到警察局 。in English they often say "I'm so ashamed of you." The same function anyway. 3.念舊* means care about and considering the old (good) relationship(sometimes it can just refers to an old stuff you own). With a layer of meaning that you want to remain it. 我這個人很念舊，看著照片總是會想念過去的朋友。 *just another thing I came up with. "舊雨新知"。 舊雨 means old friend and 新知 means new friend. In Chinese we can call your super friends as "知己". Means that one knows you well and can empathy you. "故"and "舊" both means old. But you can't say 故雨 instead of 舊雨(it's an allusion). And you can't say "舊事" instead of "故事" . Compared them I would say 故 is often with reasons and 舊 don't have to be. By the way story in Chinese means "old, event that happened in the past.", isn't it fun?
