American Football fans are already buzzing about the 2026 NFL Draft heading to Pittsburgh, and Ohio State's defensive lineup has people talking about draft history. If you're at HSK 3 and want to discuss this in Mandarin, this 30-line dialogue between Madison and Benjamin gives you the listening practice you need.
Madison and Benjamin discuss the 2026 NFL Draft being held in Pittsburgh and why Ohio State University might make history with four players — Arvell Reese, Caleb Downs, Sonny Styles, and Carnell Tate — potentially selected in the top ten. They also explore why teams this year seem to favor defense over a star quarterback.
The dialogue introduces vocabulary for talking about American Football in Chinese. You'll hear words like lìshǐ (History), qiú yuán (player), and fángshǒu (Defense), plus topic-specific terms including 选秀, 匹兹堡, 俄亥俄州立, 四分卫, and 首轮秀.
Start by listening to the full dialogue at normal speed. If lines go by too fast, slow the playback to 0.5x or 0.75x and replay individual lines until you catch every word. Then use speaking mode to read each line aloud — Mei Lin will give you pronunciation feedback so you can refine your tones.
