Welcome to my channel. Let's practice
00:01
your listening skill with video level A1
00:03
and the topic is determination.
00:05
Now listen carefully.
00:11
Hi Dad, I just got home from school. Hi,
00:14
how was school today?
00:18
Why do you look sad? Did something
00:20
happen at school? Today my teacher gave
00:22
back the math test. My score is too low.
00:25
I feel very disappointed. Low score?
00:28
It's okay. You can try harder next time.
00:32
Don't be sad. How many points did you
00:35
get? I only got nine. What? Nine is low?
00:37
The highest score is 10. You got nine.
00:42
That is very good. No, Dad. I am still
00:45
missing one point. I don't have a
00:49
perfect score. Did anyone in your class
00:51
No, I have the highest score. Other
00:55
students got six or seven. Then you are
00:58
the best in your class. You should be
01:01
happy. Why should I be happy? It is only
01:03
nine. When you were young, were you
01:07
happy with nine points? When I was
01:10
young, I was happy with five points. If
01:12
I got nine, my family would have a big
01:14
party. That's why you are not strict
01:16
with me. You always let me do what I
01:19
want. You give me too much freedom, so I
01:22
become like this. Like what? What do you
01:25
mean? You don't understand. Missing one
01:28
point means I may not go to a good
01:31
university. If I don't go to a good
01:34
university, I will not have a good job.
01:36
Then my life will fail. It is not that
01:39
serious. You are thinking too much. You
01:42
are still in middle school.
01:45
Dad, please stop. From today, I will
01:47
give you my phone. I don't want to use
01:50
it anymore. It wastes my time. What?
01:53
Please take all my comic books and hide
01:56
them. I want to buy more math and
01:59
science books to study. Then this
02:01
weekend you don't go to the beach with
02:03
us? You, Mom, and my brother can go. I
02:05
will stay home and study. I don't want
02:09
to waste any time. But I only have five
02:11
years before I finish university. I must
02:15
start now. I don't want my competitors
02:18
to be better than me. What competitors?
02:21
Your friends will go out and have fun
02:24
this weekend. No one studies like that.
02:26
Dad, don't break my motivation. I need
02:29
I will go study now. Don't wait for me
02:34
for dinner. I will not eat today. This
02:36
is my punishment for getting only nine.
02:39
You will not eat? Yes, I must be more
02:42
serious. Good night, Dad.
02:46
I really don't know what to say anymore.
02:49
Good luck with your university in the
