The Accident that Changed my Life

Why a lot of people like to buy books in the book store？ The story is suit for the listeners whose level is HSK1 or above.
书店里有什么？
学校里有一个书店，去那儿买书的人很多。这个书店能卖很多书，我想那儿的书很便宜。有一天，我去那儿买书，我问书店老板：“你的书能便宜一点儿吗”？老板说：“不能，一本书50块钱。”
书不便宜，为什么很多人买书呢？
我每天去书店看书，一个星期以后，我知道为什么了。书店里有桌子和椅子，桌子上有水、茶、咖啡，很多人坐在椅子上看书、喝茶。你能买喜欢的书，不买也没关系。
我现在也喜欢在那个书店买书了。

Lesson 3 text 2

In this episode we are going to learn 【Sickness】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
