Pitch accent (noun)

Three Russian tongue twisters specifically designed to make your pronunciation clearer! 
Try repeating after me. First time I’m reading slowly, second time closer to real speech speed.

собирАла маргарИта маргарИтки на горЕ, растерЯла маргарИта маргарИтки во дворЕ. (р,г)

из кУзова в кУзов шла перегрУзка арбУзов. в грозУ в грязИ от грУза арбУзов развалИлся кУзов. (з,в)

в шалашЕ шуршИт шелкАми жЁлтый дЕрвиш из алжИра и, жонглИруя ножАми, штУку кУшает инжИра. (ш,ж)

These tongue twisters focus on various Russian sounds. Try to articulate them as clearly as possible. Let's focus on accuracy rather than speed. Good luck!

大家好，我是Yuli。这是我在italki的第一期播客，很高兴可以跟你一起分享。在我的频道，我会分享各种主题的闲谈。内容大概是1到2分钟，文稿会放在每一集播客下面。希望对你的中文学习有所帮助，那我们开始吧。
今天想和大家聊一聊睡眠的话题。
你是早睡早起的人，还是夜猫子呢？夜猫子，大家看晚上的猫是不是经常不睡觉，在外面玩儿呢？所以夜猫子就是指晚上不想睡觉、喜欢熬夜的人。那早上不想起床怎么说呢？睡懒觉。懒就是lazy的意思。
晚上熬夜的时候，你一般是在做什么呢？有的人是在加班，有的人是在学习，有的人是在打游戏，还有的人是想睡但是睡不着。这个我们叫失眠。你会失眠吗？我有时候会失眠。如果白天喝了太多茶，或者晚上工作到太晚，我的大脑非常清醒，那我就失眠了。失眠的时候你会怎么办呢？躺在床上等着睡着，还是玩手机，还是起来工作或者学习呢？我发现，失眠的时候起来看书，过一会儿就犯困了，自然就可以入睡了。
你的睡眠怎么样呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

夜猫子	yè māo zi	night owl (people who sleeps very late)
