威廉凯特晒"夏日回顾"：抗癌康复后，凯特24小时登顶英国三座最高峰
William and Kate's 'Summer Rewind': After Beating Cancer, Kate Summited Britain's Three Highest Peaks in 24 Hours
A medium Chinese listening story: the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a 'summer rewind,' and its heart was Kate, who after cancer treatment climbed England, Scotland, and Wales's highest peaks in 24 hours for charity.
This is an HSK 3-4 Chinese listening episode that runs about 1 minute. The full Mandarin script is shown with tap-for-pinyin and a line-by-line English translation, so you can listen and read at once — comprehensible input in the sense of Stephen Krashen's i+1 theory. It teaches 10 key vocabulary words such as 健康、准备、工作 and walks through 3 grammar patterns, each explained in English with examples. The same news story is retold at 4 difficulty levels — use the level selector above to find the version that is challenging but still understandable for you.
