The Past Continuous in a Song (with transcript)

大家好，您正在收听中文播客《丹霞说》，我是丹霞。

01 白雪放假啦！Báixuě fàng jià la! Baixue is on holiday!

今天，白雪告诉我，下个星期她有七天的假期，这是她的年假。她跟我分享了她的计划。

放假的时候，她一点儿也不想待在家里。因为她非常喜欢运动，所以她打算下个星期每天都去锻炼锻炼。她觉得工作日的时候，每天待在办公室八九个小时，需要坐在电脑前面很长时间。如果不运动，身体会慢慢变得不健康。

星期一早上她打算去公园跑步；
星期二她可能去游泳；
星期三她和朋友们去打篮球；
星期四她想去小河边骑自行车；
星期五她会去爬山。
星期六她不出门儿，她得打扫一下儿她的家，然后喝喝咖啡看看书，好好儿休息一下儿。

她问我星期天有没有空，她想和我一起去买衣服，吃饭和看电影。我高兴地答应了！真希望星期天快点儿来呀！

这些词语你知道吗？

分享 fēn xiǎng v. to share
骑自行车 qí zì xíng chē v.o. to ride bike

Today, Bai Xue told me that she has seven days' holiday next week, which is her annual leave. She shared her plan with me.

She doesn't want to stay at home at all during the holiday. Because she likes sports very much, she plans to exercise every day next week. She felt that she needed to sit in front of the computer for a long time when she stayed in the office for 8 or 9 hours every day on weekdays. If don't exercise, body will slowly become unhealthy.

She is going to run in the park on Monday morning;

She may go swimming on Tuesday;

On Wednesday, she went to play basketball with her friends;

On Thursday, she wants to go cycling by the river;

She will go climbing on Friday.

She doesn't go out on Saturday. She has to clean her house, drink coffee, read books and have a good rest.


She asked me if I was free on Sunday. She wanted to go shopping, dinning out and watching movies with me. I said yes happily! I really hope this Sunday come soon!

EP 45. EXPRESIONES CON EL VERBO “TENER”


Job insecurity is the feeling of uncertainty or anxiety about the continued existence of your employment. It's the opposite of job security, where there's confidence your position is stable. Job insecurity can be triggered by actual threats like company restructuring, economic downturns, or technological advancements, or it can be a perceived threat based on factors like short-term contracts, limited job control, or a lack of clear career advancement opportunities.

While the fear of job loss might be the main concern, job insecurity goes beyond that. It encompasses feelings of powerlessness, a lack of control over your future, and potential negative consequences like stress, anxiety, and decreased motivation. This can impact not just employee well-being but also company performance through lower productivity, increased absenteeism, and higher turnover.

Job insecurity is a complex issue with various causes and effects. Understanding it allows businesses to create a work environment that fosters security and reduces employee anxiety. This can involve providing clear communication about company goals and employee roles, offering opportunities for professional development, and promoting work-life balance initiatives. By addressing job insecurity, businesses can create a more stable and productive workforce. 

A business coach, like myself, can be a valuable asset in combating job insecurity within a company. They can work with managers to develop transparent communication strategies, ensuring employees understand their roles and the company's direction. Additionally, the coach can guide managers in crafting career development plans for employees, fostering a sense of growth and opportunity. By creating a culture that values continuous learning and clear communication, business coaches empower employees and mitigate the anxieties associated with job insecurity.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊游戏。
在我小时候，小孩子没有手机和ipad，我们的游戏是更传统的。那个时候最流行的游戏是《老鹰捉小鸡》，有一个小朋友当老鹰，一个小朋友当母鸡，其他小朋友躲在后面当小鸡。母鸡要保护小鸡不被老鹰捉走，被捉到的小鸡就输了。大家在草地上跑来跑去，又紧张又好玩。我们还有其他的游戏，例如：跳绳、打弹珠（也叫打玻璃珠）和打扑克牌等等。
现在的小孩子更多的时间花在学习上，没有那么多时间在室外玩。他们很小就有手机，可以在手机上玩游戏，看视频。因此，近视戴眼镜的小孩子也越来越多。
我觉得我们小时候可以玩的东西更多，学习压力比较小。现在的孩子有机会学习更多的东西，压力也比较大。真希望他们也有机会做一些我们小时候的游戏，虽然简单，但是很快乐。
你小时候喜欢做什么游戏呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
