おとといからヨーロッパでYahoo Japanが見られなくなりました。
私は日本のニュースをチェックするためにYahoo Japanを使っていたので、とても不便です。
でも、ニュースをチェックするついでに芸能人のゴシップやくだらない記事を読むのに時間を使っていたので、この悪い習慣を止めるためのいいきっかけになるかもしれません。

みなさんはどんなサイトを使ってニュースを読んでいますか？
今すぐやめたい悪い習慣はありますか？

ついでに：while I’m at it
不便：ふべん　inconvenient
くだらない：useless

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.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
每个人多多少少都有一些烦恼，不同年龄的人烦恼的事情可能不太一样。这个采访是从5岁到90岁的人在聊他们人生的难题。今天我们来听听50岁到90岁的烦恼。
50岁：（回答：我什么时候可以退休啊？）那按照那个法定的年龄60岁退休嘛。女同志五十周岁（55岁：听说还要延长退休时间）。我家孩子在外面北漂好几年了，我想让她回来.
60岁：你就让孩子去发展去吧，发展得好就让他在那边混，混不好他自然就回来了。我呀，才60岁，就感觉身体啊跟不上了，以后70可咋办呢？
70岁：到70啊，你就到时候把你的孙子叫过来，这孩子也皮实了，你身体也就好了。难题就是我这个老伴儿呢，怕我这个高血压。菜的里头呢，又少油又少盐又少糖，不好吃。
80岁：难吃啊？难吃上我那吃去。我现在就血压高，就经常得上医院去跑，开药去。我就有一个老同志，我春节的时候去看他，住在医院里的，躺在床上相当可怜。八十多了，好几十（朋友）了。走到尽头了。
90岁：你现在呢就说也不要太难过，你也劝劝他到公园转一转。全是咱们老同志，一块儿聊聊大天。侃侃咱们过去，在一块，年轻的时候。在这方面自己想开点，也就舒畅了。我老伴儿三年前去世了。都这么大岁数了，总得要有一个人先走，但是我也很想念她。说到这儿吧。（5岁：老爷爷，您别难过。老奶奶只是睡着了，您以后碰见她，亲她一口她就醒了）你几岁？你的人生难题是什么呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

人生从5到90岁的难题② The conundrum of life from 5 to 90 years old （Intermediate level）

Forget bullet points and dry statistics. Capturing attention and sparking action requires a different approach: storytelling.  Effective communication transforms you from an information provider into a captivating storyteller, weaving a narrative that resonates with your audience.

Why Stories?

Humans are wired for stories. They tap into emotions, create a sense of connection, and make information more memorable.  A well-crafted story in a business presentation can:

Illustrate complex concepts: Imagine explaining a new marketing strategy. By weaving a story about a customer's journey, you make the strategy relatable and engaging.
Highlight challenges and solutions: Business is full of obstacles. Share a story about overcoming a past hurdle, showcasing your problem-solving expertise.
Inspire and motivate: The most powerful stories evoke emotions and ignite action. Use a story of a customer's success to inspire others to do the same.

Identify the Hero: Every story needs a hero. In a business context, the hero could be your customer, your team, or even your company itself.
Define the Obstacle: What challenges does the hero face? This could be a market disruption, a competitor's strategy, or an internal obstacle to overcome.
Showcase the Journey: How does the hero overcome the obstacles? This is where you highlight your product, service, or strategy in action.
Deliver a Satisfying Resolution: What is the positive outcome of the story? Did the hero achieve their goal? Leave your audience with a sense of accomplishment and hope.
Storytelling in Action:

Imagine pitching your innovative new software to potential investors. Instead of a dry presentation full of technical jargon, weave a story about a struggling small business frustrated with outdated software.  Highlight how your product transformed their operations, leading to increased efficiency and growth.  This narrative approach connects on an emotional level, making your pitch more memorable and impactful.
