【话匣子英语】新的期待

 新的一年即将到来，对此哈皮和毛拉有什么期待呢，一个全新的节目是什么样子的？

Harp¹:   What ideas are you the most excited about for next year?

Maura:   Well, one episode that I was really happy with and really excited to do was the episode about blah blah blah.

Harp: Ha ha, yeah. The episode about blah blah blah.

Maura: Yes. And if you’ve never heard that, it might sound very funny, but it’s actually how people talk sometimes. Just last week, actually at work, I heard someone telling a story and they said blah blah blah and then they told a little bit more of the story and again they said blah blah blah in the same story. And I thought, “Great!” Because this is actually being used and we’re going to do an episode on this.

Harp: Yes, definitely. So stay tuned² next year to hear this episode.

Maura: Yeah. This episode actually has blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda, whatshername and whatshisname, and whatchamacallit. So it’s a really good one.

Harp: Whatchamacallit.

Maura: Yeah. What about you? What are you looking forward to in terms of Culips episodes?

Harp: Well, there’s gonna be a super fun and interesting episode about fears and what we’re afraid of.

Maura: I’m already scared for that one.
