Over 16 lines, they touch on climate change, visibility hazards for athletes, and how organizers have historically coped with extreme weather. It is a natural, fast-paced exchange that mirrors real Mandarin conversation.
The conversation runs 16 lines between two speakers. You will encounter vocabulary like 冬奥 (dōng'ào, Winter Olympics), 高山滑雪 (gāoshān huáxuě, Alpine skiing), 延期 (yánqī, postpone), 暴风雪 (bàofēngxuě, blizzard), 没完没了 (méiwánméiliǎo, endless / without end), 讽刺 (fěngcì, ironic / irony), 抱怨 (bàoyuàn, complain), and 组委会 (zǔwěihuì, organizing committee).
