In this episode, my dad and I recall some of our favorite memories as sports fans.

If you’re a sports fan yourself, that’s great, but even if you’re not, I think you’ll benefit from listening to this one, as many English idioms and other vocabulary were born out of the world of sports.

Otherwise, listening to this episode should give you a sense of what being a sports fan in America is like, because it’s unique compared to sporting culture in most other countries.

***For English learners! – Detailed vocabulary lesson begins at 31:56***

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。

玩游戏 Playing games（Intermediate level）

In this episode we are going to learn 【Having meals】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
