Extensive listening challenge, October 2014

Extensive listening is one of the most important activities when learning a foreign language. In this sense, extensive means that you should listen as much as possible, covering as much material as you can, rather than digging deep into each audio clip. Try to listen to Chinese at or below your level and try to listen a lot! Read the article that will be published on Thursday for more information and inspiration.

情人的眼泪 这首歌忧闷而死。她为什么离开他?为什么抛弃他,留下他,叫他怎么办?他一边走,一边掉眼泪,他爸爸妈妈叫他流浪;他流浪到台北,找不到他的爱人。他从来没告诉我们有何原因。其实,有可能会他对她不好:我们没办法知道,只能猜这故事将有什么结尾。他找到他的爱人,不肯定是好事。
