–        ¿Dónde trabajas?
–        Aquí, en Madrid. Trabajo en un hospital. Soy enfermero. Y tú, ¿En qué trabajas?
–        Soy peluquero. Tengo mi salón de belleza. Además, tengo 2 hijos y ahora están con sus abuelos.
–        ¡Ah! ¡Qué bien! Yo no estoy casado, no tengo hijos.

Motivation 

本期聊了我们对冬奥会的了解。
两个完全没有冰雪背景的人聊冬奥会聊得非常艰辛。😂
涉及到了冬季运动比赛项目的表达，运动员的出身，运动员食物，吉祥物等话题。
希望大家听得愉快！

In this podcast, we talked about Beijing Winter Olympic.
We both don't have a very familiar experience of ice and snow world, so it is a little bit hard for us to talk about winter sports.
In this podcast there are some topics like events, food and mascot etc.
Maybe we are not serious about the content what we talked about, but hope it is helpful for you to practice your listening.
