Todd: So, Matt, we’re talking about adjectives this week and, or qualities about people, so let’s talk about what makes people good at what they do. First of all, what do you think makes a good student? We’re both teachers so in your mind what’s a good student?

Yeah, hi, I wanna talk about, yeah, watching sports, like live or on TV. I mean I like to play sports more than I like to watch sports but sometimes a good game on TV or watching it live can be really good, um, you know, everybody, or many people like to watch the olympics or the world cup of soccer, I mean those kinds of sports are really, really exciting. I like to watch them too. I like to watch a good game on TV, you know, if there’s lots of buildup and tension for the match, it’s even better. One sport that I’ve been really getting into recently is Japanese Sumo wrestling, yeah, it’s, you know, it’s quite a spectacle. Many westerners think that it’s kind of a joke, you know, a bunch of fat guys in tiny underwear, you know bashing their bodies against each other, but there’s really a lot more to it than that, I mean, these guys are incredibly athletic.
大家好，我想谈谈去现场看比赛或是在电视上看体育比赛。我是说相较于观看体育比赛，我更喜欢进行体育运动，不过有时候在电视上或是去现场观看精彩的体育比赛也不错，你知道，所有人或者说大部分人喜欢看奥运会或是足球世界杯，这些体育比赛会令人非常非常兴奋。我也喜欢看这些比赛。我喜欢在电视上看精彩的比赛，如果比赛中充斥着紧张会更好。我最近喜欢的一项运动是日本相扑，你知道，比赛非常精彩。许多西方人认为那是一种玩笑，一群胖人穿着小内裤互相撞击对方的身体，但是相扑不仅仅是这样，我是说这些人是了不起的运动员。

杰西：汤姆，我今天早上看报纸时注意到一篇新闻报道，报道中说东京和大阪是现在最昂贵的居住地。我记得你说过，你曾在东京居住过。你住在那里时有这种感觉吗？
Todd: So Monica, this week we’re going to talk about technology and how maybe technology changes patterns of how we read and how we write, so let’s talk about reading. Do you think you read fewer books now because of the Internet?
