Shirley: Thanks to you. I'm totally pumped up.

 

Trainer: So you are happy that you made the decision to join us.

 

Shirley: I surely am. But still there is one single problem.

 

Trainer: What's that?

 

Shirley: I eat more and more these days. And it puts even more weight on me.

 

Trainer: It's not good to start with too much work-out at the beginning. What about trying something else?

 

Shirley: I'd love to do that. What do you recommend?

 

Trainer: More and more people are warm up to Yoga these days. Do you want to have a try?

 

Shirley: Do you think it's a good option for health and relaxation?

 

Trainer: Absolutely. But it takes great perseverance to master.

 

Shirley: I can so that.

 

Trainer: Here is a free class going on right over there. Go and join them.

 

(After having the Yoga lesson, Shirley comes back to the trainer.)

 

Trainer: How did it go?

 

Shirley: Everything was okay when it started, but the music made me drowsy. So I think I may have dozed off for a minute over there.

 

 

 

听看学

 

 

 

教练：你看起来真棒！

 

雪莉：多亏了你。我感觉很精神。

 

教练：所以你应该高兴做了加入我们的决定。

 

雪莉：当然了。但是还有一个问题。

 

教练：是什么呢？

 

雪莉：我最近吃得越来越多。我甚至比以前更胖了。

 

教练：开始的时候运动量过大是不好的。要不要试点别的？

 

雪莉：很乐意。你有什么推荐的吗？

 

教练：越来越多的人热衷于瑜伽。你想试试看吗？

 

雪莉：你觉得那是健康和放松的好选择吗？

 

教练：当然了。但是想要掌握的话需要很大的毅力。

 

雪莉：我可以的。

 

教练：那边正在上一堂免费的瑜伽课，过去加入他们吧！

 

（雪莉练完瑜伽回来找教练。）

 

教练：怎么样？

 

雪莉：开始的时候一切都很好。但是音乐让我感觉昏昏欲睡。后来有好几分钟我都在打瞌睡。

 

 

 

经典背诵 Recitation

 

 

 

Trainer: I'm a personal trainer in a gym. My job is to help people achieve their fitness levels and goals. Everything would be exciting at the beginning when it starts but it calls for great perseverance to hold on to it. But they can do it if they try. And the biggest reward for me is to see my customers look good.
