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。
最近在中国年轻人中间刮起了一阵新热潮，那就是去寺庙烧香，求神拜佛。我们一起来听听看是为什么吧？
游客：“马上要毕业了嘛，然后就是希望自己能够顺顺利利的，未来都是一路平坦的。嗯，就是这么一个比较平凡的愿望。”
记者：“上班和上学之间你会选择哪个？我身边的这些年轻人，他们选择的是来上香。今天是周二工作日，北京还下着雨，并且降温了10度。我的右边很多人在排队点香，我的左边很多人正在上香。寺庙游现在是中国平台搜索最火爆的。不但是北京的雍和宫、灵隐寺、九华山，吸引了好多好多的年轻人。很多人真是来寺庙上香比上学还认真。他们为什么沉迷于寺庙呢？那我们就来听听年轻人的答案。”
游客：“就是大家可能最近压力都比较大，然后就是有一些东西，可能觉得自己虽然已经很努力了，但是也希望借助一些神佛的力量。对，就是所以（来寺庙的年轻人）还蛮多的。像平时可能会心里面比较焦躁一些，那来到这块可能还是会感觉比较平静。因为这块所有人都是抱着一个比较虔诚的心来的嘛，所以能感觉到这里的人都是非常虔诚的。
