Добрый день, уважаемый студент!

Part 1 of 5. 

Inside a dusty workroom, an old craftsman held up a chess piece to the window. He rotated it in the sunlight and inspected its every detail. 

“Perfection,” said the craftsman. 

He added it to the set he had been building. Sixteen grey pieces sat on his worktable, all handmade and almost ready for sale. 

The craftsman felt very satisfied with his designs. He was ready for the final stage of the process. He picked up one of the pawn pieces and said, “What about you, my little friend? What colour would you like to be?” 

He reached for his paint brush, dunked it into glass of water and then into a container of paint. The grey pawn received a heavy coating of shiny white paint.

Fast-forward several years into the future. After repeated use and abuse, that little pawn’s proud white colour had faded. Areas of his original grey were visible. Because of this, whenever players assembled their chess set, they left this little grey-white pawn to the side. 

“Uhm, is that yours or mine?” said the white player. 

“It doesn’t matter. Put it back in the box and choose from the others,” said the black player. 

This little plastic pawn’s name was Gary.

June and Yuli have a talk about Chinese Blind Date, this episode is part 4: Can we trust what the matchmaker says, you will learn how to say 【objective,tend to】 ect. (This is casual talk so there're some repetition and unnecessary words, which is also very natural authentic dialogue.)
--------------------------------------------------
It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
1st time: listen without looking at the text.
2nd time: look at the text and write down the new words, later look up the dictionary. 
3rd time: listen again without looking at the text.
4th time: repeat after it without looking at the text.

June：还有就是一般相亲的时候我们是有通过中间人去介绍，可能这个人是你的亲戚，对吧？也可能是你父母的朋友，中国叫做媒婆或者媒人嘛。你觉得媒人说的话都是真的吗，或者是你觉得百分之多少是可以相信的？
Yuli：因为我就经历过那一个相亲的对象，那个是我小叔他的朋友的儿子，所以他们说的还算挺客观的吧。就是介绍了一下他的学历、他的工作、他的年龄，还有家里的情况，就是这些。还是蛮客观的，就没有太夸大的成分。网上有一些段子（看到）都会说，如果说这个人很老实，可能是一般，潜台词就是可能也不帅。
June：我觉得很多人会谎报，有的是会谎报身高，有的是会谎报年龄。
Yuli：年龄也会谎报吗？是报大还是报小？
June：对，看情况。这边也有报大，也有报小。相亲可能女方她的年龄，在二十七八岁，基本上如果相成功了就会想要结婚了，对吧。所以她会倾向于找一个比较成熟稳重，那如果像你刚刚说的有的人可能大学在读的时候就去相亲了，但是那个时候才20岁左右吧，20到22岁。那女生可能会觉得偏小，然后有的人就会谎报说，噢这个男生已经25岁了。所以就是因为你报太小的话，可能他就一开始就不想见面，就不给机会了，对不对？那谎报年龄也有报偏小一点的，但可能就是大家都是觉得，因为在中国好像大部分的时候是30岁好像是一个界限，特别是对女生而言。所以有的人会觉得，差一两岁，差不多可能如果31， 32，有的可能会报30岁这样子。就是（先）觉得要有一个见面的机会。
