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.

Describe a time you were very busy.

You should say: 

When it was.
Why you were so busy.
How you managed it.
And explain how you felt about being so busy.





“ One of the busiest times I experienced was about 3 months ago, when I had to finish a very important and difficult assignment in order to graduate in my major, business management. 

I had only 2 weeks to complete this paper, and if I didn't meet the deadline, I would automatically fail my finals, as well as being unable to graduate, so it was of great importance to me. I also had a part-time job at this time, which took up a lot of my time and didn’t actually leave much time to complete my paper. 

The assignment was also very challenging, certainly  no walk in the park  and I needed to do a lot of research as well as collect a lot of data before I could even start to brainstorm ideas on how I would complete it. This meant I had to burn the midnight oil, and pull a few all nighters to be certain of having it finished to meet the deadline.

Although I didn’t exactly enjoy being so busy and under so much pressure, I felt very proud and satisfied to have completed the assignment after working all the hours god sent me. I was on cloud nine when I received my grade and discovered I got a straight A for the paper, and could now look forward to graduating.


Thank you…”
