Intermediate Listening Lesson 19

你喜欢什么运动？我喜欢棒球和篮球。

 

A: "What sports do you like to play?"

B: "I like baseball and basketball."

A: "How about football?"

B: "In my country football is brand new, so I never learned the game when I was younger."

A: "It's a very popular game in America."

B: "Yeah. I heard a lot about it. Is it really that fun?"

A: "For me, it's one of those games that are fun to both watch and play."

B: "Are you a football player?"

A: "No, just for fun with my friends. We play two hand touch or flag football. We're too old to play tackle football."

B: "What is two hand touch and flag football?"

A: "Instead of tackling somebody, you just have to touch them with two hands, or if it is flag football, grab the flag that the ball carrier is wearing."

B: "I see. It's safer then right?"

A: "Exactly. We play every Saturdays on the field by the tennis courts. If you want to learn and play a little, you're welcome to join us."

B: "I'll give it a try. Give me a call and let's go down together."

A: "Ok. I'll call you Saturday morning."

B: "Great."
