地道美语听力播客:The Big Game

On my way home from class, I ran¹ into Cara, a schoolmate² that I have not seen³ in a few⁴ months. I stopped to say hi to her.

Mark⁵: Hey Cara! How's everything? Long time no see.

Cara: Yeah! It's been a while⁶. I'm doing alright. What about you?

Mark: Great! I'm excited⁷ about the Big Game this weekend. Are you going⁸?

Cara: Uh, no. What Big Game?

Mark: Are you kidding? This is the biggest football game of the season! And we're playing against⁹ one of the best teams in the state¹⁰, so it's going to be really exciting.

Cara: Wow, that sounds like fun! Who are you going with?

Mark: A big group of friends Hey, you know what? One of my friends has to go out of town this weekend and he won't be able¹¹ to make it to the game, so I have an extra¹² ticket. You want to join us?

Cara: Sure, I would¹³ love to go! I've never been to one of our school's football games before.

Mark: Awesome¹⁴! There's a bus picking¹⁵ students up in front of the dorms at 1pm. Meet us there at 12:30.

Cara: Sounds like a plan¹⁶! Thanks for giving me the extra ticket. I'll see you Saturday.

Mark: Alright, see ya!
