Epizód 1 - Bemutatkozás

Hey iTalkiers, this is Chadwick.

Thanks for listening today.

I am going to answer a question which may appear on a test like the IELTS.

And that question is this:  Do you enjoy outdoor activities?

The short answer to that question is yes.

I do enjoy activites that take place outdoors.

The longer answer needs to be unpacked, or explained a bit more in detail.

To begin with, I am not a fan of winter activities.  I used to be, but not so much anymore.

I was never really keen on skiing, but I used to enjoy snowboarding.

But, those days are gone, and I would much rather be cozied up next to the warm fire during those long cold winter months.

And now when it comes to spring, summer, and fall... I am all in.

Anyone who knows me or follows my Instagram (organicenglishus) knows that I am an avid gardener.

Avid means that I show a keen interest, or am enthusiasitic about, in this case, gardening.

I could spend all day playing in the dirt and watching things grow.

During the warmer months of the year, I also enjoy Hiking the North Country Trail, or paddling around a quiet lake with my wife.

So, yeah, spring, summer and winter are amazing.

Winter time, not so much.

How about you?

Do you enjoy outdoor activites?

Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Thanks for listening, and please subscribe.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【运动】的话题。
在中国，最受欢迎的运动项目包括篮球、乒乓球、羽毛球、足球和跑步等。篮球在中国尤其是年轻人中非常流行，姚明的影响力使得这项运动在中国得到了极大的推广。乒乓球是中国非常突出的运动项目，早在20世纪50年代初，中国领导人毛主席就宣布乒乓球为一项全民运动。这项运动在中国的普及程度非常高，到处可以看到乒乓球桌。羽毛球是中国的另一项全民运动，与乒乓球类似，羽毛球可以随时随地进行，只需要一副球拍。足球在中国也有很大的影响力，但是因为踢足球需要更大的场地，不是每个学校都有足球场。跑步在中国变得越来越流行，越来越多的人选择在城市的街道和乡村小路上跑步。
这几年，户外运动也流行了起来。例如徒步、登山、露营、滑雪、漂流和骑行等，受到了越来越多的人喜爱。这些活动不仅能让人们亲近大自然，还能提供一种健康的生活方式。周末参加一个一天的徒步团，在山里面徒步，呼吸新鲜空气，然后在村里面吃一顿地道的农家菜，对住在城市里的年轻人来说是很新鲜的体验。在徒步的过程中也可以跟其他人聊聊天，认识新朋友，有的年轻人甚至在徒步中遇到自己的另一半。
除此之外，去健身房锻炼身体，去瑜伽馆做瑜伽也是很多年轻人的选择。你可以选择月卡、半年卡和年卡，一般年卡是最划算的。不过经常有年轻人买了年卡以后很少去，坚持运动也是一件不容易的事啊。
没有时间去健身房或者不喜欢社交的人，也可以选择在家里做运动。一边看视频，一边跟着做动作。因此很多运动博主也收获了不少粉丝，一个视频甚至有几千万的播放量。还有一些博主直播带着大家一起运动，运动变成一种新时尚。
你最喜欢什么运动？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
