CUATRO DE LOS CHISTES MÁS COMUNES EN LAS PROVINCIAS DE MÉXICO.

CHISTES MEXICANOS

Mona and I discuss an enigmatic concept known as the American Dream. What does it mean and what doesn't it mean? How do Americans and non-Americans view it differently? In our conversation, we attempt to tease out some answers.

(By the way, my apologies for the poor sound quality in this episode. I'll certainly do my best to fix it for the next episode!)

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.

男：最近晚间或者是24小时营业的健身场馆就格外地火爆，这种再晚也能撸铁的空间受到了很多城市年轻人的喜欢。
女：嗯，这种健身房它有全自助方式的无人健身房，也有半自助的。你比如说上午10点到晚上十点是正常营业的，剩余时段是会员自助。像全时段营业、智能化运营、付费方式灵活也成为了24小时健身场馆的卖点。
男：嗯，目前多家24小时健身馆客流人群还是以年轻人为主，当然也得提个醒，医生的建议是饱餐后太过疲惫不适合做运动。另外，保障规律的运动时间也很重要。如果想早上或者是晚上运动，那还是要在不影响睡眠和工作的前提下进行。另外，一个人在健身房练习的时候还要格外注意安全。
女：现如今大家的生活水平越来越高了，我们对于运动健身包括体重管理更重视了，追求健康科学规律的生活是一种生活方式，更是一种生活态度。
男：在这样的地方想运动可以运动，想社交呢也可以社交，想休闲呢也能够独处。一方面是方便，一方面也确实让人感受更自在。
女：其实不仅是健身场馆，这些年全天候不打烊的24小时空间都挺火的。像便利店，还有24小时的阅读空间等等。市场有需求，相关的场所也越来越多了，对相关行业是机遇，让咱们的生活更加便利。
