大家好，我是Yuli。这是我的第7期播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊“梦想”。
大家还记得自己小时候的梦想是什么吗？我小时候的梦想是开一家卖零食的小商店，这样我就可以有吃不完的零食了。我从来没有想过我要当一名老师，因为我觉得老师的工作很单调。那个时候，我的老师们重复地教着一样的课本，一样的内容。我觉得这不是我喜欢的工作，我很快就会厌倦的。
但是命运很神奇，长大后，我竟然成为了一名老师。我为什么会做我曾经很讨厌的工作呢？因为我发现，老师的工作也可以很不一样。
第一，我可以教学生各种各样的知识，不只是课本的内容。我们还会通过视频、图片来学习中文。我们也会聊各种各样的话题，分享自己的看法。
第二，做这个工作我可以发挥自己的创造力。我总是思考可以用什么资料和什么方法给学生上课。根据学生的表现，我会一直改善我的课堂。
最后一点，也是最重要的一点，做这份工作让我觉得很有成就感。因为我帮助学生把中文学得更好，他们在生活和工作中可以用到。每次看到学生因为会说中文而生活发生改变的时候，我都很替他们高兴。
那你呢？你的梦想是什么呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

Perché si festeggia il carnevale a Venezia?

Ciao studenti e studentesse di tutto il mondo e benvenuti nel quarto episodio di “Impara l'italiano con Isa”! 🌍📚😃 in questo episodio come già preannunciato nell'episodio precedente parleremo di un utensile da cucina che potete vedere nell'immagine del podcast. Questo utensile non è altro che una spatola di gomma che ha mille utilizzi nella cucina, ma non è questo il punto; il punto è il nome italiano di questo utensile. 

If you need the transcription, I could provide to give it to you, so feel free to contact me with a message! :)

大家好，最近天气回暖，南法也开始变得越发热闹，希望万物复苏的季节大家的心情也可以得到适当地放松。今天和大家分享狄更斯在《双城记》里的一段话，他说：“那是最美好的时代，也是最糟糕的时代；那是智慧的年头，也是愚昧的年头；那是信仰的时期，也是怀疑的时期；那是光明的季节，也是黑暗的季节；那是希望的春天，那也是失望的冬天。“

可能这个世界就是由黑暗和光明组成的，我们应该，向往光明，但也不畏惧黑暗。

用顾城的一首诗来结尾吧：“黑夜给了我黑色的眼睛，我却用它来寻找光明。”
