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.

Why is Friday the 13th Unlucky? (with transcript)

The Greetings are the first conversation between two people.
Los saludos son la primera conversación entre dos personas:
We have two ways of making salutations: Formal and Informal.
Tenemos dos formas de hacer saludos: Formal e Informal.
The formal way is used when you meet new people, talk with the oldest person, or converse politely.
Here, we have an example of Greeting:
Good morning Mr. Rodriguez. (in Spanish you say)
Buenos días, señor. Rodriguez.
You start the conversation with: Buenos días (at the morning), Buenas tardes (in the Afternoon) and Buenas noches (at the evening or night)
After that, you need to put the profession or etiquette to show respect to men and women
(Mister = señor, Mistress = Señora, and  Miss = señorita)
(don’t forget to add the surname or First name) like this example: 
Señor. Rodriguez or Profesor. Rodriguez 
The second part of the conversation is making information about the person, situation or what do you want to know?
For example:
¿Cómo te sientes hoy?: How do you feel today?
¿Qué tal? = How are you?
¿Cómo estás? =How are you?
¿Qué estás haciendo? = What are you doing?
¿Como esta el trabajo? How is work?
¿Cómo va todo? = How is everything?
You can include more dialog to keep going the conversation.
And, the third part is the farewell or despedida. 
For example:
Adiós = bye
Hasta luego = See you later
Nos vemos pronto = See you soon
Hasta la vista = See you around
Chao = bye
Te veo luego = See you later
Que te vaya bien = Good luck
The informal way is used when you know well the people for example a friend, partner, brother or coworker.
Epale! = Hey
¿Que mas? = What´s up?
¿Qué tal? = How are you?
¿Qué hay de Nuevo? = What´s new?
Hola, ¿Cómo va todo? =  Hi, How is everything?
This part of the dialog can be more flexible according to the country, age, and social group.

Story = '2000 most common words in English'. 

It was 10am on a cloudy Friday when Bobby was struck by inspiration.  It was a day like any other. Bobby was sitting on his bed, curled up in a ball and Afsane was nearby reading a new book.

Bobby was deep in thought. His eyes were closed but his mind was active. His little tail was wagging softly. Occasionally he got up, turned around and sat back down again. This was part of his creative process. 

Then Bobby’s eyes shot open. “Yes! That’s it! I’ll… I’ll…” Then he rested his head again on his paws.  “No… it’s gone.” 

Asfane turned her attention back to her book and turned the page. The book was called, How to Live with An Extraordinary Dog. She wanted to better understand Bobby’s gift.

“You’ve done so many projects,” said Afsane. “Why don’t you revisit an old idea and explore it from a different viewpoint?” 

All over Bobby’s room were his photographs. They were all in special frames. He had taken photos of almost everything: parks, sports, markets, transportation, roads—whatever Bobby saw, he snapped a photo. But he didn’t know what to do for his next photography project. 

Bobby needed to refresh his mind. He jumped off the bed and walked over to his food area. On the wall in front of his red drinking bowl was a picture of his previous drinking bowl, a blue one. 

“I’m looking for a special subject, Afsane,” said Bobby after drinking some water. “Something which speaks to my soul. Something which lifts my spirits.” 

Afsane shrugged her shoulders and put down her book. “That sounds very serious, Bobby. Why don’t you just take a photo of… oh, I don’t know, that.” 

Afsane pointed to the open window. 

Bobby felt curious, so he jumped up and looked out the window. He didn’t see much. He watched the traffic and the dark clouds. But then, something caught his eye. 

Bobby barked and howled! “That’s it! That’s it!”

“See, I told you. There’s nothing boring about windows,” said Afsane.

“No. There! Children!”
