【英语时差8,16】快速约会-上(在线收听) |
Today we’re looking at something which has become very popular in Britain: speed dating. To tell us about speed dating, we’re going to meet a young British man called Adam, who is looking for love. Well you turn up at the venue, which is often a pub. And you feel a little nervous maybe because there are not that many people there yet. Then you go in and you sign up for a speed dating round. And that means you will be sitting down in a group of maybe 12 women and 12 men, and you speak to one woman for three and a half to four minutes. And then you just switch tables, the men are the ones who have to move, the women just get to relax. And well both people can just talk about what they want really, they could say talk about their interests or they could just talk about the weather. It's up to them. Have you tried this, Finn? Finn: Me? Well actually yes, I have tried it, but it was a long, long, long time ago. But it was a lot of fun though, and as Adam said, it’s a great idea for meeting a lot of people quickly. |
