Chinese story
《同学的爱》  The Classmates’ love

在重庆市的一家医院里，有一位女孩儿躺在病床上。她叫小菲，今年十七岁。
There was a little girl lying in bed in a hospital in Chongqing City. She was called Xiao-Fei, aged 17.
二零一二年夏天她还可以在外面跟朋友、同学一起玩儿，但是她现在只能躺在床上，因为二零一二年八月，她发现自己生病了，而且是白血病。
She could still play with friends and classmates outside in the summer of 2012. Now she could only lie in bed, as she found herself sick in August, 2012 and was diagnosed with leukemia.

小菲的高中同学都很难过。为了鼓励她，小菲的高中同学也和她一起做出改变，这让她觉得很多人都在支持她。
Xiao-Fei’s high school classmates all grieved for her. To encourage her, her high school friends also made changes with her to make her feel that many were supporting her.

小菲生病以后，每天都必须早睡早起，锻炼身体。小菲的同学也开始每天早睡早起，锻炼身体。他们让小菲知道，他们正在和她做一样的事。小菲只能喝开水，不能再喝可乐了。小菲的同学也和她一样不再喝可乐。
After getting sick, Xiao-Fei needed to go to bed and get up early to exercise. Her classmates also started to go to bed and get up early. They let Xiao-Fei know that they were doing the same thing. Xiao-Fei could only drink water, but not coke anymore, and her classmates followed suit.

小菲的同学对小菲说：“你不放弃，我们也不会放弃！”
“If you don’t give up, we won’t either,” Xiao-Fei’s classmates told her.

同学们知道小菲需要很多钱治疗，所以大家拿着箱子向路人募捐，最后募到了兩万多元。
Her classmates knew that Xiao-Fei needed lots of money for treatment, so all of them carried boxes to raise money from pedestrians. Eventually, they gathered a total of 20,000.

小菲看到大家这么支持她，她说：“大家这么关心我，我一定会更努力让自己好起来。”
Knowing that all of them were supporting her, Xiao-Fei said: “All of you cared about me so much; I will certainly try my best to get well.”

Yasmine's Chinese Reading - intermediate

同学的爱  The Classmates’ love

Today I will be discussing a topic that I find not only interesting but important. Assertiveness is commonly confused with aggressiveness but assertiveness is important in emotional intelligence and plays an important role in the workplace. It allows us to create boundaries and be able to express ourselves confidently. I will discuss assertiveness, what it is, why it's important and how to become more assertive.

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。今天我们来听听一个采访，从5岁到90岁的人，聊聊他们人生的难题。采访有点长，我们分两次听，今天先听5岁到40岁的。
5岁：能不能不去上学啊？
10岁：我都这么大了，还要上学，所以应该没有办法了，就是要上一辈子学。我的人生难题是我以后上清华还是北大呀。
15岁：你先能考上初中再说吧。我喜欢我们班上的一个男生，他好像不喜欢我。
22岁：有可能是他不喜欢女生啊。（我的难题是）找不到男朋友。
25岁：找不着挺好的。因为找着也得分，挺不靠谱的，你还不如25岁找完了直接就结婚呢。
25岁：我想给我爸妈买房。我就想知道那些三十岁的人是怎么做到的。
30岁：你应该去问四十岁的人。我也没钱。我感觉自己到了人生的瓶颈期，比较迷茫。
40岁：在这个年龄有这种感觉我特别懂，不过，不要怕，坚持就是胜利。因为未来还有更大的瓶颈。我从15岁半就开始工作挣钱了。当过歌手，很有趣；当过演员，也很有趣；现在当导演了，也很有趣。我的疑问就是，我什么时候可以退休啊。
你几岁？你的人生难题是什么呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
