One Minute Speaking Challenge - Describe an old house

Covered with pins and adornments, Vivianne Robinson is hard to miss in the streets of Paris.

The Olympics superfan has attended seven Summer Games over 40 years. But this trip to Paris came at a cost of $10,000.

Robinson, 66 and from Los Angeles, maxed out her credit cards and worked two jobs to afford the trip and the 38 event tickets she bought. And she has to work two more years to make up the money she spent.

"It was hard to save up and it's a big budget, but it's a thousand times worth it," she says.

Robinson's fascination with the Olympics started when her mother worked as a translator for athletes during the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Her mother would come home after work with pins from athletes that she gave to her daughter.

Her hobby of collecting pins led her to Atlanta 1996, where she made rice necklaces for athletes in exchange for their pins.

"I got all the pins and I got to meet all the athletes. And in those days, it wasn't high security like now," she said. "Now you can't even get near the athletes' village."

From there: Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, London 2012 and Rio 2016. She got a visa for Beijing 2008, but couldn't afford the trip. It was similar for Tokyo: she bought tickets, but got refunded as COVID-19 soared and the Games were held without spectators.

Robinson's outfits started simply but have become more complex over time. She spent a year working on her Paris outfit, which has hundreds of adornments. People often stop her in the street, asking for a photo.

As soon as these Olympics end, she will start working on the next Summer Games — which will be in her hometown in Los Angeles.

"I'm going to do it forever," she said. "I'm going to save all my money and just concentrate on Olympics."

'Worth It': Olympics Superfan Spent $10,000 to Get to Paris

In this episode we will listen to Lucy Liu's story, you will learn how to say 【ethnic Chinese,widely known】 ect. The material helps you get used to different voice and accent. 
--------------------------------------------------
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。
今天要介绍的是美国华裔女演员刘玉玲。她在中国也很有名，特别是2019年她出演的《致命女人》吸引了无数中国粉丝。除了最为人所知的演员身份，她其实还是一名画家、慈善家。我们来听听她的艺术故事吧。
她是好莱坞著名的华裔女星，是大热剧集中的致命女人，但很多人不知道刘玉玲其实还是一个现实中肆意洒脱的艺术家。一副作品卖出17万美元，惊艳众人后才被人得知出自她之手。在父母只关注她的好成绩，期待她成为医生或律师的传统教育下成长，她独自下手改写人生。勇闯好莱坞演戏的同时，挤出时间去专门进修艺术，最终成为家喻户晓、留名好莱坞星光大道的亚裔明星和低调独特的灵魂画手。这一切都是源于她内心深处的自我认同和对人生目标的坚定感。她的作品有的张扬大胆，有的细腻柔软，融合着她自由、真实、坦荡的性格和历经世事的人文关怀。她以形态各异的木头雕塑强调个体的自由，72张看似乱涂的水墨画，展现创作的玩心。以色彩迷人、造型大胆的抽象画，挑战禁忌话题，映射着她在一个避讳谈论“性”的家庭中成长的反思。她曾建议每个人都该努力挣钱，为自己建一个“去你的”基金。也曾说“艺术是教育的一部分，也为人类创造更美好的未来。”她所展现的是一位女性抛开外表仍具有的更迷人的美。我想一直活在一个不对自己设限的世界里。无所畏惧，敢于冒险。
希望她的故事能够给你带来力量。我们下期见。

おはようございます！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

今日も旅行の話をしようと思います。

大学を卒業する時に、友達と3人でアメリカへ行きました。
ロサンゼルスとラスベガスですね。

かなり前の話なので、思い出しながら話しますね。
あ、日本では、大学を卒業する時に、友達と卒業旅行に行く人が多いです。今もたぶんあると思いますが、日本では社会人になると、長い休みは取りにくいので、大学生のうちに2、3週間旅行に行く人が多いと思います。


僕たちは、3人ともバスケットボールが好きでした。なので、NBAですね、アメリカのバスケットボールを見に行こうとなり、友達がチケットなど全部用意してくれました。今思うと、全部任せてしまってたなと思います。

旅行では、サンタモニカの方へ行ったり、ビバリーヒルズや、ハリウッドの方にも行った記憶があります。

そして、NBAの試合を見に行きました。ロサンゼルスのステイプルズセンターですね。今はクリプトドットコム・アリーナ、という名前に変わったみたいです。

そこで、ロサンゼルスレイカーズとポートランドトレイルブレイザーズの試合を見ました。当時のレイカーズはとても魅力的なチームでした。コービーブライアントと、シャキールオニールがいたので、とても強かったですね。今思うと、めちゃくちゃ良い時に試合を見に行けたと思います。本当に迫力がありました。

リング裏、後ろの席だったんですけど、結構近い席で見れました。今思うと、当時20年ちょっと前ですが、僕の友達はどうやってあの席を取れたのか不思議ですね。

でも本当にいい思い出になりました。

と、もう1つ行った場所はラスベガス、そして、グランドキャニオン、なんですが、話が長くなりそうなので、これはまた次にしますね。

みなさんはどんな場所に旅行に行きましたか？
そんな話をぜひ、オンラインレッスンで話しましょう！
お待ちしています。

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！

#183 旅行について③

“Hit the Nail on the Head” *Hey everyone! Let’s dive into a useful idiom: “hit the nail on the head.” It means to say or do exactly the right thing. Imagine your friend explains perfectly to you,why you’re tired and he says
“You’ve been working too much.”
You could say, “You hit the nail on the head!” It’s great for emphasizing accuracy in ideas or actions. Can you think of a time you hit the nail on the head?
