 安德鲁从小父母就对他严格要求，要求他锻炼身体.....

 

Harp¹: And then we’re gonna talk about what we do to stay in shape. OK. So let’s get started with our first topic² which is sports we played as³ a kid⁴.

Andrew: Yeah. Sports we played when we were kids⁵ and I played pretty much every sport you can think of when I was⁶ a kid.

Harp: Really?

Andrew: Yeah. I don’t know, maybe I was a really hyper child and my parents just wanted me to go and play sports and burn⁷ off⁸ lots of energy⁹, so I’ll be calmer¹⁰ at home, but my parents made¹¹ me play almost¹² every sport you can think of.

Harp: That’s so interesting, off the top of your head, all the sports you played when you were a kid.
