Yes, I like weekends.
https://spoken-edubot-au…0171949753cc.wav
null
I usually just stay in the home and watch some TV.
https://spoken-edubot-au…49d009e392a0.wav
null
Oh, last weekend, I actually I went to hike with some of my friends.
https://spoken-edubot-au…e3145285227d.wav
null
No, actually I don't make many plans for my weekends.
https://spoken-edubot-au…4c37f13be7b0.wav
null
I celebrate my birthday with my parents every year and some of my friends joined in the party.
https://spoken-edubot-au…fe516b675ace.wav
null
Actually, it's much like other's birthday. I received some gifts from my parents, friends and maybe grandparents, and I had a big nice meal with them.
https://spoken-edubot-au…8817e4efa791.wav
null
Yes, I think it's very important because it means that I grew up one year and I maybe should take some responsibilities for my family and actually it's also remind me that my parents, especially my mother, sacrificed a lot for me.
https://spoken-edubot-au…3af561cf2cc3.wav
null
I think Tuyouyou's birthday is the most important birthday to celebrate because she contributes a lot for the whole world.
https://spoken-edubot-au…3d2adefd79ee.wav
null
She's the person who find qinghaosu and received the Nobel prize. And the drug she invited...she found actually, is very important for some patients.
https://spoken-edubot-au…a52c32bfeda8.wav
null
I like many kinds of music such as popular music, jazz music and the blue.
https://spoken-edubot-au…4d24458dcf28.wav
null
In my country, the most popular music is actually the popular music, R&Bs.
https://spoken-edubot-au…cad2232871de.wav
null
Oh, I've been a big fan of Jerry Drowth, so I often sing his music.

Okay, actually I moved to Hangzhou just one year ago. And after a week, my landlord told me that there would be a hiking in the next weekends. And that time, I had no friend in Hangzhou, so I'm lonely and I would like to make some new friends. So I think it was a great opportunity for me to make some friends with maybe the same hobbies or some person in the same situation with me. And I went to hiking and the most difficult part for me is actually to remember many people's name because I'm not good at…good at it. So I just ask my neighbors and landlord to introduce me to others. I think it’s…it was a very good activity because I actually made some new friends from hiking. And one of them is still my friends who chat often. So I think maybe some hikings and other outdoor activities is very good for a person who moved into a new city and have no friends in this city.
https://spoken-edubot-au…2436bfae04de.wav
null
Yes, I told my parent this activity. Immediately after hiking…I hiking was over, because they were worried about me because I'm a young girl who was in a very new strange new city myself.
https://spoken-edubot-au…6c7f72a87772.wav
null
Actually, it depends on different kinds of people. For example, for the middle-aged male, fishing is the most popular activities for them. Every weekend when I go to subway, I can see many middle-aged men. They carry a lot of instruments and catch the subway and trains to go to some fishing park. Well, on the other hand, for maybe for the young students, the most popular adult activity is hiking, because it good for people's health and they can maybe enjoy the beautiful scene.
https://spoken-edubot-au…71375c7f94b8.wav
null
Just as I mentioned before, I can see a lot of middle-aged men who carry lot of fishing instruments with them and to catch the subway and train to go to the fishing park...fishing ponds actually. And for some young students, hiking is not only activity who can do some physical exercise but also is an activity that can make new friends.
https://spoken-edubot-au…940331d698f7.wav
null
Well, I don't think so because there is no proof to link success to…to doing outdoor activities or not. I think to be successful requires a lot of things.
https://spoken-edubot-au…8d26aa21ce52.wav
null
Well, my favorite food is... Let me think... maybe pizza!
https://spoken-edubot-au…176dc8c2e966.wav
null
I think pizza is the best food that I can share with my families, my friends, because it's big…it's big enough.
https://spoken-edubot-au…528f2e5f68e6.wav
null
Well, I…I don't think so. Only me.
https://spoken-edubot-au…f10600965545.wav
null
I never really think about it, but maybe... well...Ccookies.
https://spoken-edubot-au…c10ddb6d883e.wav
null
Yes, I think it's great to change a new job when there are chances, new chances, because it...it has many benefits. For example, it can...it's actually a new...it's actually a new challenge for people. If they overcome or if they handle the challenge, they will get more pay, right? And it's good for people to make new friends.
https://spoken-edubot-au…8024d0f3f203.wav
null
Yeah, I used to eat snacks with my classmates sometimes even in…in...during class.
https://spoken-edubot-au…e4b6198772c5.wav
null
Definitely not. But I…I...I…I like...to eat snacks.
https://spoken-edubot-au…c954551e229f.wav
null
Yeah, I do.
https://spoken-edubot-au…25511f9588f9.wav
null
Strawberry.
https://spoken-edubot-au…0813f9bdc59c.wav
null
No, I don't think so because people has a limited budget of energy. If they just try as many new activities as possible, they will soon run out of energy and they feel tired. Besides, not all the young people like many activities. If they...they just need...they do need to pick some of them that they actually like most.
https://spoken-edubot-au…e970a6d053e0.wav
null
Yeah, because everyone...likes chocolate, I think.
https://spoken-edubot-au…4860ffe0da73.wav
null
Yes. I read an article and it said that black chocolate is especially good for our heart.
https://spoken-edubot-au…a090cdf53b0c.wav
null
I...I...I'd like to...tell you about the...the meal that I had when I was 10 years old. It...it...it was on my birthday party. My...my mom bought me a pizza...a pizza. I think it's...it's...it was very big, like 12 inches big. I ate the meal at home. I also invited some friends of mine, and we had a really good time. I...I still remember the meal. I...and...I...I just...I like it so much.
https://spoken-edubot-au…f8366b0f02c3.wav
null
Maybe 18 years old they...when they become adults.
https://spoken-edubot-au…c0822d92ad85.wav
null
Because cooking can be somehow dangerous. If they are too young, maybe they…they cannot take care of themselves, so they may get hurt.
https://spoken-edubot-au…ac2392eef696.wav
null
I think schools and parents should be the…the one who are responsible for children's health. They have the responsibility to teach them. It is important to…to keep healthy.
https://spoken-edubot-au…e837011d9a77.wav
null
No, I don't think so, because there are so many snacks that they…they just take…they just taste so deliciously. So I...maybe children will not be healthier in the future.
https://spoken-edubot-au…888ed9d1d645.wav
null
I think food really connects people in my culture because Chinese people they love to make food to welcome the…the guests, so yeah
https://spoken-edubot-au…147d7ee6eb84.wav
null
I would say they eat more healthy in the past, because they have so much junk food, which is not good for their health, I...I think. Maybe it's better for them to eat less junk food.
https://spoken-edubot-au…e590dc2ad8b4.wav
null
Yes, yes. It's a good time for them to unite together. So I think yes.
https://spoken-edubot-au…bc05592c3bb2.wav
null
I want to sing for my parents because my parents especially my mother do a lot for me.
https://spoken-edubot-au…7fd46cf3bbba.wav
null
Yeah, of course. I think singing is a good way to release stress and communicate with others. For example, when I was a high school student, I...I remember that I was...I was in my 12th grade and I feeled...felt a lot of pressure for study. So I...every weekend I went to karaoke and sung a lot to release stress.
https://spoken-edubot-au…300d1f1d58e5.wav
null
Oh, I like listen…I like to listen a lot of different types of music, but I enjoy the blue music most.
https://spoken-edubot-au…7b6fd84b0804.wav
null
Yeah, I often listen to popular music, blue music and some R&B.
https://spoken-edubot-au…a01c51d92e79.wav
null
Well, because it's can bring me some peace.
https://spoken-edubot-au…8fa33d9503fd.wav
null
The most…the most popular music in my country is the popular music actually, because it's very easy to understand and follow.
https://spoken-edubot-au…f8d2790cad2e.wav
null
Oh, I…I would like to see J-Jo because I have been a big fan for him for more than 20 years. So I just want to see him in person. And his concert is very popular. I don't...I can't buy...actually I can't buy a ticket for his concert because it's so popular.
https://spoken-edubot-au…b3932e739380.wav
null
I like it because it…it holds some of the most maybe…most vivid paintings.
https://spoken-edubot-au…f07199e8661c.wav
null
No, I don't have the gift so I don't want to be an artist.
https://spoken-edubot-au…64ea3336df1d.wav
null
When I was young, I enjoyed reading adventure stories because it's full of imagination, adventure, courage and heroes. And the other reason I enjoyed it is when I was a little kid, my parents read a lot of stories for me, so I am a big fan for stories. I read in my home and library because you know we...my parents...my parents couldn't buy the whole adventure stories for me. And the...the library actually has had a lot of those books. So I went to library every weekend. After I read those books and stories, I would share those stories with my friend. And one of them I remember, she was Tina, she also found out adventure stories, so she go to...she went to library with me maybe one third time. And I think reading adventure stories actually taught me a lot. I learned courage, working with others and how to make new friend from the books. So I enjoy reading adventure stories very much when I was young.
https://spoken-edubot-au…944c48349212.wav
null
Yeah, my parents and some of my friends know this hobby.
https://spoken-edubot-au…fa1dcf6391ac.wav
null
No. Most people have to work more than 8 hours a day in my country because the work is overwhelming and the mortgage is very high. So they have…have to work more and gain more to pay the pay…to pay the price.
https://spoken-edubot-au…c3a1998c7c9c.wav
null
No. Adults have a lot of work to do. They...many of them have to work in Sundays, so they don't have enough time for leisure activities. For children, they are told to focus on their studies, so after five days of study, they have to go to some...some organizations to maybe...to learn English or math.
https://spoken-edubot-au…1b4f0c53c954.wav
null
Yeah, I like singing. Though I'm a bad singer, I like to sing especially when I'm nervous because it's a good way to release stress.
https://spoken-edubot-au…c1a6caaf1949.wav
null
Yeah, of course, when I was in primary school, I attend music and singing class. My music teacher is a very nice madame. She taught me how to sing.
https://spoken-edubot-au…0fb8b1331328.wav
null
Oh, I want to sing for my parents and my sister. My young sister is very fond of me. And she...I like her very much and I like to sing for her.
https://spoken-edubot-au…0e04e0677490.wav
null
Yeah, of course, as I mentioned before, singing is a good way to release stress and forget sadness. So singing can bring happiness for people.
https://spoken-edubot-au…081b2a3c193f.wav
null
Yeah, I like to listen country music.
https://spoken-edubot-au…525acc642316.wav
null
Because the melody is very beautiful and I like listen to country music while I'm driving.
https://spoken-edubot-au…e978cbda925b.wav
null
I like to sing for Jay Chou. because I'm a big fan of he and I want to sing for him.
https://spoken-edubot-au…6c723c0d7bd6.wav
null
Yeah, I like art.
https://spoken-edubot-au…f5fd8e798fde.wav
null
Yes, in fact, I often visit some of the art galleries in my city because I can closely observe those artifacts.
https://spoken-edubot-au…152d467cb6f3.wav
null
Oh, I prefer traditional art because modern art is too advanced for me to understand. And I was taught how to enjoy traditional arts in my high school.
https://spoken-edubot-au…30d935710f24.wav
null
Well, I think I'm still young, to be fair. But anyway, an activity that I used to enjoy when I was young in my first year at university was dancing. I used to attend a dance class that was run by one of the South African teachers on campus. I think she was from Brazil. I can't recall exactly. Anyway, I loved going to this dance class. It took place two evenings a week and was a great way to stay healthy and fit, enjoy great music, and get to know other people. Because a lot of these kinds of dances are interactive. Men and women dance together as partners and change partners too, then it's a really good way to break the ice with people of the opposite sex and become friends or maybe more. We would often go out for drinks after the dance evenings and sometimes stay out late chatting or even clubbing in the city. So yeah, these evenings I particularly enjoyed and for a while the dance society at the university was one of the most important things in my life. Apart from studying and all that, it was my social outlet as well as my form of regular exercise and a nice chance to get involved in something more international. It's a shame that I don't seem to get time to do something like that now really, or at least I don't create time and opportunity. Maybe I should make the effort, just thinking about it makes me feel a bit...
https://spoken-edubot-au…759f401e0c26.wav
null
Yeah, I think it's very important to have a break during work or study because people often focus on what they do no more than one hour. So after one hour high tension of work or study, people have to have a break and release themselves.

There are more activities for young people now than 20 years ago. It's undeniable that there are more activities available for young people today than there were 20 years ago. New technology combined with an increase in awareness with the importance of physical and mental health has resulted in a wider range of opportunities for young people to engage in meaningful activities. From outdoor sports to arts and crafts to volunteering, young people now have more way to explore their interests, develop their skills and make a...make a positive contribution to their communities.
https://spoken-edubot-au…fb2a3bcbb7b9.wav
null
No, actually most people can't balance work and life in my home country, especially for adults because they have to work more than 8 hours...8 hours a day often. They usually work until 10 o'clock pm, so they don't have many social lives. They...after they...they finish their work, they just go to home and go to sleep.
https://spoken-edubot-au…cee4f7557be6.wav
null
As far as I am concerned, some people experience intense pressure to make the greatest decision during their downtime, such as doing more research, planning ahead, and spend more money. However, as the data show, this drive to maximize our enjoyment could interfere with how much we actually enjoy our leisure time. Additionally, some people find it difficult to see the value of leisure at all. These people prioritize productivity to the point where they are unable to enjoy downtown...downtime, actually, frequently at expense of their mental health. They frequently work in high-stress, high-paying industries.
https://spoken-edubot-au…189c2b9b5086.wav
null
Yes, it is.
https://spoken-edubot-au…da47b7e51a3c.wav
null
Yes I do, I do like weekend.
https://spoken-edubot-au…87fd14e063be.wav
null
Yes, I sometimes do. When my parents are busy or too tired, I tend to help them with dishwashing, vacuuming, and taking out the trash, and so on.
https://spoken-edubot-au…3e0e65332f0f.wav
null
Yes, I did. My parents taught me to do some housework when I was still five or six. They thought it would be a good idea for young kids to learn as a necessary skill for kids so that they can take care of themselves when they grow up and live alone. And it's also a part of their responsibility as a family member.
https://spoken-edubot-au…48000522e42e.wav
null
I generally just dislike this one, although I liked it when I was little kid. I don't know why. Maybe I just started doing a lot of it and I stopped hating it. I like vacuuming. It's calming and, yeah, it's relaxing.
https://spoken-edubot-au…1a636182290d.wav
null
My favorite food is hot pot. So it's a very traditional type of Chinese food. The interesting part is for hot pot, you don't actually... the chef doesn't cook it. You cook it yourself. Basically, what happens is you order a pot of boiling water and also you...you order ingredients and you put the ingredients into the water, the pot of boiling water. Whatever you want to eat, pour it in there, wait for it to be boiled, and you will might eat it. It's interesting kind of food because you get a lot of choices, you get to cook it yourself and it's a great way for people to communicate during the entire process.

Personally, I don't like using social media that much, at least not in the last few years. I used to use it a lot because that was the best way to connect with your friends. But now there's so much information social media and so much negativity. It's better to stay away from it, at least once in a while. And a lot of my friends also stopped using social media that much, and that reduced my incentive to use social media even more.
https://spoken-edubot-au…7028d9163e0a.wav
null
Right now, I definitely don't use too much social media. In fact, I probably use too little social media that I sort of out of the loop lots of time when it comes to news or whatever is trending. Well, in terms of my friends, I don't know. Some of them probably use too much social media. They spend a lot of time posting literally everything about their life on social media, and that could be problematic.
https://spoken-edubot-au…8d96783fc0bd.wav
null
Well, the usual suspects, I guess. Cell phones and laptops are on top of my list because I use them for pretty much everything, from communicating with others, to work, to surfing the internet, and searching for information and making plans. Well, literally everything that I do probably involves either my cell phone or my laptop...
https://spoken-edubot-au…980a797165b5.wav
null
Yes, obviously. I would say technology is important in pretty much everyone's life these days. Everything you do, everything you buy, everything you use probably has a ton of technology behind it, whether you realize it or not. So yes, technology is a very important part of my life.
https://spoken-edubot-au…b2409188354f.wav
null
It's quite different, I have to say. I honestly can't remember what technology was like when I was a kid. It was probably, yeah, I honestly don't remember. But these days, it's all about big data and artificial intelligence, and those concepts weren't even relevant back when I was a kid. So, yeah, it's quite literally a different world now.
https://spoken-edubot-au…084e6f2ece8a.wav

There are all kinds of small businesses. The ones that I usually…usually have a connection with are restaurants. Small restaurants tend to have surprises for you, and I like to go to small restaurants and be surprised. And usually it's a pleasant surprise.
https://spoken-edubot-au…df0c609965b9.wav
null
It really depends on what it is. If it's just a little gadget that you just use for a little while and it's cheap, then it really doesn't matter whether you buy it from a big company or a small one. But for important and expensive purchases, I tend to trust big companies more because they have a reputation and they generally also have better customer services.
https://spoken-edubot-au…24af9f598d58.wav
null
Both have advantages and disadvantages obviously. Small companies tend to be more flexible and there are a lot of things you can try in a small team and they tend to be more personal and close knit. But big companies tend to be more stable and they have a bigger platform and more resources and there's more vertical space for you to...for you to develop your own portfolio for your career development. So you can enjoy working in both types of companies. It really depends on what you want and what kind of person you are.
https://spoken-edubot-au…a11544256f5a.wav
null
I don't think I have a concrete plan for starting a small business in the future. I wouldn't rule out the possibility, but right now I don't have a specific plan for that. It's just so complicated and challenging, and I don't think I have a good idea for a small business or even know where to start.

I would like to tell you about the time when my wife, well then girlfriend, got an offer from Cornell University. We went to the US in 2012 together and I went to Cornell and she went to Purdue University and pursued her Masters degree in Linguistics. And then in 2013 she applied to Cornell, the Linguistics Department at Cornell because we want...obviously wanted to be together with each other. And finally one day in February 2014, she got an email and it's an offer from the Linguistics Department at Cornell. And I almost lost my mind and...and I... I was pretty sure I was even more excited than she is. And obviously I immediately told her the news and I even went to the Linguistics Department just down the road and took some pictures for her. It was probably one of the best days of my life and I would remember it forever.
https://spoken-edubot-au…a5d352daf07d.wav
null
Well yes, of course. First with my wife, and then with my parents and our friends. And everyone was ecstatic. And we actually got married soon after she came to Cornell, so that's even more good news.

It's fine to share something good on social media. It's...well it's at least better than sharing toxic content on social media. But the...it can be addictive. And it's important to, you know, understand the boundaries and respect boundaries between people. And limit the time you spent on social media. Because social media is not a substitute for real life. If you would like to share some news with friends, consider asking them out. And relay the news to them in person. That could actually feel kind of special these days.
https://spoken-edubot-au…e6dea9c3874e.wav
null
Right...It's fine to share the news on social media. If...if all your friends use social media, then it's probably the most efficient way to get the news around. Although there are definitely alternatives to this. You can still text them or tell them the news in person. It might actually feel more special that way, because not everyone checks social media that much these days.
https://spoken-edubot-au…cda5b5711f88.wav
null
Of course not. The media should report news objectively, whether it's good news or bad news. Besides, who has the right to decide which news are good and which news are bad? Some news can be good for certain people, bad for others. So nobody should have the right to define good news or bad news and forbid others from telling...from...from posting bad news. That is just too much power.
https://spoken-edubot-au…7abb8d695d75.wav
null
It...It depends on how old people were. When they younger, news...good news is usually about getting good scores in exams, and getting offers from schools and universities. When they're slightly older, it's about getting married or having kids, yeah and so on. Each...each age group has their own sort of different types of good news that are common to each group.
https://spoken-edubot-au…a1997d1fc137.wav
null
I think it's the study pressure that caused the young people to…to have more stress today.
https://spoken-edubot-au…43aefa24d1a1.wav
null
Yes, I believe so. The social media allow the student to have more access to more information. The more information they have, the more pressures they can get from their peers and other perfect life.
https://spoken-edubot-au…2d512851e4af.wav
null
Yes, it is important to take photo during travel.
https://spoken-edubot-au…ea99b6332b5e.wav

Yes, I think we can trust other people's travel journal.

null
In your view, what factors affect how people feel about travel?
https://spoken-edubot-au…0705836cb548.wav
null
Yes, exercise could help with stress. I usually exercise when I have stress.
https://spoken-edubot-au…931e1c0a56d8.wav
null
Then I think you should try it. It's a really good way to have like entertain yourself and release the stress you get from home, study and work.
https://spoken-edubot-au…afd3ea746d8c.wav
null
So we have been talking about person you want to study with. I would like to discuss with you one or two more general questions related to this. First of all, let's talk about relationships. Why should children be kind to their classmate?
https://spoken-edubot-au…138537dbbce9.wav

No!
https://spoken-edubot-au…fd6700b6ee1b.wav

Hey

Well, I totally agree with you…what you said.

null
I agree.
https://spoken-edubot-au…58f64cda4d3c.wav

Well, of course, because the doctors have the expertise that the online community in general doesn't have, so it's right that we have a tendency to trust the doctors over online posts.
https://spoken-edubot-au…828a487212db.wav
null
I mean everyone has their own conditions and the doctor gives you a...a suggestion based on his past experience and like it's like extrapolating the model. You have the parameters, inputs and you have the expected outcome but sometimes the result is slightly different from the true result. So yeah there could be sometimes off but in general I think doctors are pretty much trustworthy.
