以前、从前

台词学中文
 
电影里的台词，也是学习中文的好材料，简单又好记。
 
- 哪吒的自信：哪吒说“我乃哪吒三太子，能降妖来会作诗” ，“我乃”就是“我是”的意思，在古代文学里常用，是不是一下就有了古代大侠的感觉？“能降妖来会作诗”，简单直白，展现了哪吒的本领和自信。大家可以模仿哪吒的语气，大声说这句话，感受中文的力量。
 
- 亲情的温暖：殷夫人对哪吒说“无论你是‘魔’是‘妖’还是‘仙’，你都是我儿，每一天与你在一起都是快乐的” ，“无论……都……”是中文里常用的句式，表示不管什么情况，结果都一样。这句话充满了母爱，大家可以用这个句式，说说自己对家人的爱。
 
- 勇敢的决心：“不管前方有多少险阻，我都要闯一闯” ，这句台词体现了哪吒的勇敢。“不管……都……”也是很实用的句式，用来表达坚定的决心。比如，不管学中文有多难，你都要坚持，就可以说“不管学中文有多难，我都要坚持学下去” 。
听完这些，大家是不是迫不及待想试试？现在就给大家留个小作业：用今天学到的“无论……都……”或者“不管……都……”造个句子，发在评论区，我会选出最有创意的小伙伴，送上神秘小礼物。
 
今天的播客就到这里啦，希望大家通过《哪吒2》感受到中文的魅力。别忘了，学习中文就像一场冒险，每一步都有惊喜。下期咱们继续在中文的奇妙世界里探索，拜拜！

La preposizione A

Recruiter: Why do you want to do this job?

Candidate: I would be very happy to work here because I really respect the work that this company does and I have always had a positive opinion of it. I believe that with the skills that I have learned over the past six years in this industry, I would be an excellent person to have on the team.

Recruiter: What experience do you have?



Candidate: When I started, I worked as a sales rep for two years and learned a lot during that time and went to a lot of training courses. After two years, I was promoted and became an area manager with a small team of two other people. I did that for three years, before moving to the job I do now. I currently manage a different area with a larger team of five people and since I have been there, our sales have increased by 25%.

Recruiter: Why are you looking for work?

Candidate: Ihave been with this company for six years now and I would like to have experience with a new company and I’m looking for a new challenge. Also, I have a new manager who started a couple of months ago and I don’t really get along with him. He’s pretty stupid.

Recruiter: How would you describe yourself?

Candidate: I’m a hard worker and enjoy learning new skills. I really love working in sales and don’t have a problem with working as long as I need to reach my goals. I’m good at working as part of a team, but I’m happy to work by myself too.

Recruiter: What is your dream job?

Candidate: Selling ice cream on a beach! Sun, ice cream, and sales: my three favorite things.

Recruiter: What are you good at?

Candidate: One of my biggest strengths is listening to customers to find out what they need and building relationships with them.

Recruiter: How do you deal with a large amount of work?

Candidate: First, I decide what are the most important tasks to deal with and I do those first. If I’ve got a lot to do, I will get up extra early and get a head start.

Recruiter: What are your hobbies?
