〈#74〉6月7日火曜日　小学生が犯罪から身を守る方法を学ぶ

This episode is about 【中国学校开学】, you will learn how to say 【Cry loudly,Separation anxiety】 ect. 
------------------------------------------------
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.

男：时间来到了9月1号，不仅是中小学，不少地方的幼儿园小朋友们也开学了。幼儿园迎来了整个学习里说是最忙碌的一天。
女：是，大家通常会把这一天称作叫“神兽归笼”。幼儿园呢确实变成了大型的“伤别离”现场。我们也看到网上有很多的视频引发了大家的热议，有网友就开玩笑说：“哇幼儿园开学第一天真的是听取哇声一片。”
男：是小朋友第一次离开家要出个小远门了哈。有嗷嗷大哭的，有含泪一步三回头的，也有搂着爸爸妈妈脖子，挂在身上不愿意下来的。老师呢恨不得长八只手，感觉哄不完，根本就哄不完。
女：其实爸爸妈妈也没好到哪儿去，因为他们的分离焦虑呀可能比孩子们更严重。
男：是，通过大家发布的视频呢我们总结了一下哈，比如说，有这个老父亲送完了萌娃回来一直抹眼泪的，有上一秒嘴上说着“解放了”下一秒却化身壁虎各种趴墙头偷看孩子的。
女：特别理解啊，为人父母的心情。你像幼儿园是孩子离开家庭独立成长的第一步，其实也是爸爸妈妈面临和孩子分离的第一步。这世上大部分的爱都是关乎拥有的，但唯独呢父母对子女的爱却应该是逐步放手的爱。所以啊，对于家长们来说呢，希望大家也要提前做好准备，也给孩子充分的信任和鼓励。
男：是，其实每一次流泪呢也都是孩子成长的一个契机，所以家长们也要相信孩子啊，当他们独立面对陌生环境的时候，将爆发出意想不到的小宇宙。

As a pessimist, you might view language learning as hard work—and you’re not wrong.
Language acquisition requires effort, repetition, and managing confusion.

Here’s the beautiful part: Pessimists tend to manage disappointment better than idealists.
When you anticipate difficulty, you're less likely to be devastated by it.

In psychological terms, this creates cognitive resilience—the ability to stay in the game even when things go wrong. You expect challenges. You face them head-on. You recover faster because you weren’t expecting ease.

You might never say, “I’m going to be fluent in a year.” That’s okay.
But you might say, “I’m going to keep learning, even if progress is slow.”
And that is the spirit of persistence.
Don’t try to change who you are. Just learn to steer with it.
Pessimism doesn’t mean you’re giving up—it means you’re prepared to endure.
And that, my dear listener, is what long-term success looks like.

Tip 65 - How Pessimism Builds Resilience in Language Learning

从古代开始，中国的文人墨客就擅用同义词的现象写诗、做文章。清朝才子纪晓岚参加宴席的时候，有人让他写一首祝福的诗句，没想到纪晓岚竟然“骂”起人来了，这究竟是怎么一回事儿呢？

汉字小故事-同义转换-《纪晓岚巧用“坏”词说好话》

Clear usage try and + (verb)
Andrew says:
'we try and meet up when we can'
'we try and make excuses to meet up'
Putting try and before a verb means you want to do something, and you make an effort to do it - Andrew and his family make an effort to meet up.
 You may also hear try to + (verb), which means exactly the same thing.
