TASK 60 - YOUR BUCKET LIST 

朋友们你们好！
 
 随着圣诞节进入倒计时，节日氛围越来越浓厚了。 
 对圣诞节我们每个人都有充满期待，对吧？ 
 今天为大家准备的零食，你们试一下，边听边猜, 怎么样？ 

 我前几天在一个商店里，听到有人说她每年都会很期待圣诞节。 
 我想，我今年听过对圣诞节最好的期待理由就是她所说的那个。 
 
为什么呢？
 
 她说圣诞节跟春节不一样。春节跟家人一起，又热闹又开心。 
 圣诞节呢，在这么寒冷的冬天，很难离开被窝出门。不过，一想到圣诞节可以跟心爱的人一起度过，我们就会选择出门感受一下城市的圣诞气息。 

 很简单对不对？ 

 你呢？你期待圣诞节的理由是什么？ 
 希望大家都有一个温暖，快乐的圣诞节！

SWE #7 How I got scammed in Naples Italy

In this episode we are going to learn 【Sickness】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.
