大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【周末的打算】。
上个周末中国的公司都要上班，因为中秋节和国庆节放了8天假。一般如果有一周左右的长假，那么前面或者后面的周末需要上班，这个做法叫做“调休”。所以实际上8天的长假有4天是周末，只有4天是真正的假期。我经常跟学生说：“好羡慕你们啊，有那么多假期。中国的假期估计是全世界最少的。”
我的朋友们上个星期六开始上班，要上到这周五，连续上7天班。网友开玩笑说：“如果你觉得放假8天时间过得很快，那么很快你就知道7天有多慢了。”我自己是自由职业，所以我的工作时间跟大家不太一样。我是有时候工作有时候休息，没有很长的假期，所以也没有假期综合症。记得以前在公司上班的时候，长假过后回去上班的第一天，经常很不适应，一直跟同事开玩笑说：“我已经忘了我是做什么工作的了。”我更喜欢现在的工作方式，没有假期综合症的烦恼。
这个周末我打算和朋友一起去广州的老城区逛一逛，打卡一些美食店。广州是一座美食之都，有句俗语叫“食在广州”，说明广州美食很多，广州人也很懂美食。在广州你可以吃到全国各地，甚至是全世界各地的美食。我在云南生活半年后回到广州，最想念的是早茶。和朋友们一起喝茶、吃点心，从早上吃到下午，谈天说地，真的很开心。
你这个周末有什么打算呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

周末的打算 Weekend plan （Intermediate level）

I use this text to describe the importance of speaking casually without hesitating.
Listen to this:
I went to the sea...to the beach two weeks...ummm..ago.  My brother and I...we...ummm...we wanted to...go inside the...to go swimming.  It was very...really, really, really hot.

It is also important not to speak too quickly.  We use pauses but not long ones and not too often.
Listen to this:
I went to the sea to go to the beach two weeks ago.  My brother and I wanted to go swimming.  The weather was ... quite hot.  The water was very relieving.

Practice your speaking speed and fluency with these questions and others.  Record your voice and listen for which of my recordings you sound like.
1). What did you do last weekend?
2). What kind of books do you like to read?
3). What do you usually like to cook for yourself?
