【一起闲话英语】丝黛芬妮的喜好和厌恶—Stephanie's Likes and Dislikes

 Passage Transcript¹

i would² like to tell you, a little bit³ about some things i like, and then a little bit about some things i don't like. first of all, i really enjoy exercising. some of my favorite⁴ types⁵ of exercises are swimming, especially⁶ in rivers in the country and in big oceans⁷, because i like to jump over the waves⁸. i also really enjoy dancing. i like dancing to American music, because that's what i know best and i also, like Salsa and Merengue, which are more Latin⁹ types of music. i also like to walk in the woods and to explore¹⁰. i like to walk through forests¹¹, and i like to hear rivers.

i enjoy meeting¹² new people too. i like to, find out about different ways of life¹³, what different people think, where they're from, and how they live. probably¹⁴ one of my favorite things are animals. i really love dogs, and cats, and horses. when i was¹⁵ little i always tried to talk my mom in letting me have more animals. but usually she wouldn't. so i think now that i'm going¹⁶ to have my own¹⁷ house, i'll try to get lots of animals. some things that i don't really like are rude¹⁸ people. sometimes people are not very nice to strangers¹⁹, and that makes me feel bad. i also don't really like driving. i tend²⁰ to get pretty bored²¹ in the car. and it seems²² like it just takes a long time to get there. one final²³ thing i don't really like is waiting. sometimes i'm not a very patient²⁴ person²⁵. and i just like to hurry things up.
