I wanted to ask you something. I'm really interested about Mexican holidays.Olga: What?Daniel: Can you tell me something about it?Olga: Sure but what do you want to know? I mean why are you interested in Mexican holidays? Daniel: What kind of holidays you have, what do you do in those holidays?Olga: Well my favorite holiday is the Dìa de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead.Daniel: What is it?Olga: What do you think about when you hear Day of the Dead?Daniel: I don't know. It's a bit scary, isn't it?Olga: Yeah, kind of but actually for us Mexicans it's not really scary. We're so used to it.Actually that day we celebrate the, not celebrate but remember the people who are already dead especially in our close family.Daniel: OK.Olga: We put an altar for them which is like a big table decorated with flowers, bread, coffee or whatever the person that is dead used to like and we think that on that day that person is going to come back from the dead.Daniel: Really?Olga: Yeah and visit us and maybe eat the food.Daniel: OK.Olga: It's on November first, the second too. The second, the altar is still there and after that we just take everything off and go on with our lives.Daniel: You keep the altar only on the first and the second?Olga: Yeah.Daniel: OK and do you do it just for your family or do you go and visit friends or other relatives? Olga: No, we only keep it within the family actually.Daniel: OK.Olga: Well sometimes we do it at school but still it's just like you know to keep the tradition but usually in the family.Daniel: OK.Olga: Well another holiday I can think about is Easter. You have Easter too in Chile?Daniel: Yes, we do have Easter.Olga: Easter we actually don't keep it traditional any more.Daniel: What do you mean?Olga: You know traditionally we make plays where we represent Jesus and the moment when he died and everything right? But you know we don't reflect about it any more. We just go on vacations to the beach and celebrate and you know go to concerts and stuff.Daniel: Just as Chilean people do.Olga: I guess it's kind of a trend now right?Daniel: Yeah. We don't really think a lot about Easter.Olga: Yeah.Conversation 2Maria: So do you believe in love at first sight?Alex: Yea, I think it does exist. I think you can have a sort of 1 spark at first sight, but what I consider as love is a bit different to what that first kind of meeting would be. If you can having something like and then you think that person has a real possibility, I think that's what you mean by love at first sight, but you can't 2 instantly love someone. It takes 3 growth.Maria: That's true.Alex: It takes coming together, shared experiences and that sort of stuff but, you know, I think for some people, my parents actually met at a guitar concert and it was a total mistake. They thought, no, seriously, it was a total mistake. They thought that each other was in the same group and it turned out they were on separate groups and then things went from there. He 4 proposed after five weeks.Maria: Wow.Alex: And actually had to, he proposed in front of the fax machine while his divorce was being finalized.Maria: Oh my God.Alex: To his first wife so...Maria: What a romantic story.Alex: So, and twenty years later you know, so it took one conversation in a guitar concert so I've seen it, you know, I guess that spark 5 definitely exists in them.Maria: I guess if you call it attraction at first sight, it's way more 6 fitting?Alex: Yeah.Maria: That's what I feel at least. I've seen, I have friends who experienced, like one of my friends at my university now, she experienced love at first sight, like she saw the guy and she thought that's the guy I want to marry. So I never tried anything like that but I heard it happen and I see it happening now because she's still way head over heels for this guy. Alex: I think if you decide the person that you're going to marry when you see them, you're a little bit insane.Maria: Well, insanity is a good point.Alex: I suppose.Maria:: She is a little bit insane, yeah. She had a very sad love story 7 beforehand. A guy she was in love with for two and a half years who knew but he didn't, I think they actually did date a little but he didn't want to be 8 serious about it.Alex: Yeah.Maria: So I guess she's more, she wants it to be serious but I never tried. Like I think the peopleI've been in love with it has taken time and it's taken at least half a year before I've felt that there was more. Like I could be 9 attracted to them but the love part, the really wanting to be with this person came later because I didn't want take, I didn't want to get serious at least immediately.Alex: Yeah, I think after that sort of six month puppy love 10 stage where it's so new and exciting and you're learning all about the other person, that's when it starts to get like I think you start to feel the strong...Maria: But I mean also like if there was a guy I didn't even date but we were talking together for half a year and when we met, because it was internet, and he was in Holland and I was in Denmark so we met after half a year. We first met on a trip. So we met and then I could feel it grow but it took me half a year to slowly and safely just get to the point where I could actually feel something. It didn't work out but...Alex: Ah well, what can you do?Maria: Yeah, I tried.Passage 1Remarks of President Barack ObamaWeekly AddressThe White HouseAugust 31, 2013Hi, everybody. This Labor Day weekend, as we gather with family and friends, we’ll also come together as a nation to honor some of our own – the working men and women of America who, across the generations, built this country up and helped make us who we are today.On Monday, we’ll celebrate that proud history.We’ll pay tribute to the values working Americans 1 embody – hard work; responsibility; 2 sacrifice; looking out for one another. And we’ll recommit ourselves to their cause; to securing for them a better 3 bargain so that everyone who works hard in America has a chance to get ahead.See, over the past four and a half years, we’ve fought our way back from the worst 4 recession of our lifetimes. And thanks to the grit and resilience of the American people, we’ve begun to lay a foundation for stronger, more 5 durable economic growth. But as any working family will tell you, we’re not where we need to be.For over a decade, working Americans have seen their wages and incomes stagnate, even as corporate profits 6 soar and the pay of a fortunate few explodes. For even longer than that, 7 inequality has steadily risen; the journey of upward 8 mobility has become harder. And in too many communities across this country, the 9 shadow of poverty continues to cast a pall over our fellow citizens.Reversing that trend needs to be Washington’s highest 10 priority. It’s certainly mine.That’s why, over the past month, I’ve traveled all across America, laying out my ideas for how we can build on the cornerstones of what it means to be middle class. A good job that pays a good wage. A good education. A home of your own. Health care when you get sick. A secure retirement even if you’re not rich.And more chances for folks to earn their way into the middle class as long as they’re willing to work for it.The tr uth is, it’s not going to be easy to 11 reverse the forces that have conspired – for decades –against working Americans. But if we take a few bold steps – and if Washington is able to come together with common purpose and common 12 resolve –we’ll get th ere. Our economy will keep getting stronger and more Americans will be able to join the ranks of the middle-class.So this Labor Day, while you’re out there grilling in the backyard, or taking that final trip for the summer, I hope you’ll also take a mome nt to 13 reflect on the many contributions of our working men and women. For generations, it was the great American middle class that made our economy the 14 envy of the world. And as long as I’m President, I’m going to keep fighting to make sure that happens again.Thanks, and have a great weekend.大家好。
