Criando lição...
1
I feel like I want to be a food ASMR person now.
2
This is amazing!
3
International skiing superstar Eileen Gu has brought this crowd to a team.
4
Bringing home three medals at just 18 years old.
5
I'm Eileen Gu and I can't wait to show you how I spend my off day in one of my favorite cities.
6
Beijing.
7
We're looking forward.
8
Who's that?
9
If you can keep up.
10
But let's take a photo.
11
That's probably what heaven tastes like.
12
Most of my life is spent on the road.
13
So I always look forward to a delicious Beijing breakfast.
14
So in front of me right now, I have this incredible spread of breakfast foods.
15
This is Dà Nien, which is like kind of a potsticker you can think of it.
16
It has meat inside.
17
This is Jà Gao, so it's like a kind of sticky rice.
18
This is Yú Kiao, but in English I guess it's sometimes translated to a Chinese donut.
19
It's savory, it's crispy, it's crunchy, and you can dip it into soybean milk to kind of just like bring all the flavors together.
20
This is tofu na'a.
21
Really umami, savory broth.
22
I grew up eating this.
23
I'm a big breakfast person, so if you want to talk about macros, we pretty much have everything in front of us.
24
The joke with my mom that I have is dumplings are the most balanced meal because you have your carb, you have your fiber, you have your protein, you have your fat, all in one.
25
I am a huge foodie.
26
I do have a secret food review page.
27
No, I'm not going to drop the handle.
28
I don't follow it on my main, so don't even try to find it.
29
Listen to that.
30
Yeah, nothing better. So good.
31
One thing I love about Chinese food is it's so easy to pack.
32
So for me, as someone who's always on the road, it's really easy to like have a jiucai huesl in my pocket, which is like the famous chive dumpling that I took a bite out of at the Olympics.
33
If you've never been to Beijing, you're in for a treat.
34
I'm heading to one of my favorite areas to explore, Beihai Park.
35
There are a number of major parks and palaces in Beijing.
36
So currently we are headed to Beihai Park.
37
I'm gonna be meeting my mom there and we're gonna be having tea together.
38
My mom is my biggest supporter to say the least.
39
We go everywhere and do everything together.
40
This is where they used to have tea a hundred years ago. So...
41
Wow.
42
She grew up in Beijing, so we really share the love for the little snacks.
43
Fangshan Tea House is still serving up imperial-style tea and snacks just like they did back in the days of emperors.
44
The tea is one of the most known green tea in China too.
45
It's called Longjian.
46
I think this is a prime example of Chinese desserts.
47
It's definitely not as sweet as Western desserts.
48
So for example, in this one, it's walnut, peanut, black sesame, a little bit of salt, egg yolk, but the whole thing is sweet.
49
This one has mango mousse inside of it, the lotus one.
50
And this one is persimmon on the outside and carrot filling in the inside.
51
When I was a little kid, my mom used to take me here for tea.
52
And then since she was one, I would take her here to have this.
53
Was she a precocious kid?
54
She has always been precocious.
55
I think ever since she was three months old.
56
There was an old woman in this body.
57
Give up. So good.
58
It is sweet.
59
You should have a taste.
60
You guys actually have to.
61
Try one of these too, because they're also my favorite.
62
But these are actually the Empress.
63
No, the Empress's favorite?
64
Yeah, this one and this one.
65
I'm going to try the Empress's favorite.
66
That one's my favorite too.
67
Now it's time for another side quest.
68
Peking University, my mom's alma mater.
69
And rather than spend more time in the car, I'm taking advantage of Beijing's amazing footpaths to squeeze in a workout.
70
Beautiful!
71
Like 80% of the time you'll run past
72
and it's just enough time for people to like recognize your face and get excited.
73
But my favorite are the really dedicated ones who will try to cut me down.
74
And like my rule is like I try to stop during runs.
75
If you can keep up, let's take a photo.
76
Like, let's hang out!
77
My first route, I couldn't resist running around Beihai Park
78
and then through Beijing's streets for a bit before hopping a quick ride to PKU.
79
For Route 2, I'm looping around the lake and cruising past some classic campus scenery.
80
I run by myself always, except for my mom.
81
We are running on Peking University's campus and it is absolutely stunning.
82
My mom, she would take me here when I was younger.
83
I don't remember a ton because I was very little.
84
She told me that it put Stanford's campus, really gave Stanford's campus a run for its money.
85
And I didn't believe her because what could possibly give Stanford's campus a run for its money?
86
I think this is definitely off there.
87
Isn't this beautiful?
88
Look at the lake because that's where I used to ice skate.
89
Running, in my opinion, is the best way to see a city on foot.
90
You are able to kind of maneuver and navigate in a way you can't in a car.
91
It takes you places that are totally unexpected, and if you see an interesting side alleyway, you can go explore it immediately.
92
It's also just so accessible, and it's always really surprising.
93
If you plan your visit, you know exactly what you're going to get.
94
With running, you never know exactly what you're going to get.
95
Anytime I'm in Beijing, I like to drop by a few of the stores from brands I love.
96
Anta is always on that list.
97
I really like their athletic line and running shoes.
98
And since my schedule is always jam-packed, I'm also working with a second camera crew today for a Chinese language documentary series.
99
Work smarter, not harder, right?
100
So yeah, technically not a full off day, but honestly I love this stuff, even in sub-zero temperatures.
101
We're going into this ice rube right now.
102
Oh my god, it's really cold in here.
103
It's going to go in the Arctic.
104
Bye!
105
Bye!
106
Thank you!
107
Thank you!
108
Thank you!
109
Thank you!
110
All that work has my stomach grumbling.
111
Luckily, there's no shortage of street food in Beijing.
112
So this is candied hawthorn.
113
I would liken it most to a sour cherry, but more bite to it.
114
It's kind of more of a traditional winter thing, but you can buy it in little streets and alleyways of Beijing, and this is a very Beijing specialty.
115
I grew up eating it and I love it.
116
This outside thing is actually edible, so you can just take a bite out of it.
117
I really love sour things, and so the sour and the sweet together really reminds me of Beijing in the winter.
118
It wouldn't be an off day without a quick shopping stop.
119
This area that we're in right now, Taguli, Sunnytun, is one of the most stylish places to see and be seen in Beijing.
120
You'll just see all these incredibly dressed, beautiful people.
121
You would think that they're on their way to Fashion Week and they're literally walking around the streets.
122
It's incredible.
123
I think that's kind of my big thing.
124
And then also kind of sporty and urban because all of these are real parts of me
125
and facets that make me unique.
126
And so being able to express that through what I wear is really my goal.
127
Oh, this is cute.
128
This is how many people wear?
129
Yeah.
130
Coming from a male-dominated sport, it's surprising to people, the way that I dress or the way that I look.
131
Your first impression is what someone is wearing, how they carry themselves before they even open their mouth.
132
And so you kind of form an opinion opinion of what you think this person is going to be, and then they can open their mouth and totally break every expectation that you've ever had.
133
And that element of surprise is what really keeps me excited and motivated.
134
There's just enough time to fit in one last activity before dinner.
135
When I want to saddle up, this is my go-to spot in Beijing, Western Giant Equestrian Club.
136
I learned to ride when I was six or seven in China, and I just really fell in love with it.
137
Even got to like competing in show jumping, which was just the ultimate side quest.
138
Go outside!
139
We were in a digital world.
140
We were a teacher who used to use a phone.
141
We were able to see the phone.
142
We were able to use a computer to see the camera.
143
At the end of the day, the whole field was really big.
144
Coach Fah is my equestrian coach from age 9 onward.
145
He's also a snowboarding traumatic.
146
I've been trying to convert him for like 10 years, but to no avail.
147
skiing or post-rack riding, I think the sense of motion is very shared as far as knowing where you are in space.
148
Like as you're moving, you have to be like 30 feet ahead of where you are.
149
There's a lot of skiers on the mountain, you gotta see where everyone is, you don't hit anyone.
150
And it's the same here, there's a lot of horses out.
151
My little baby, what's that?
152
Oh, you want more?
153
Mmm, crunchy.
154
After all that cardio, it's dinner time.
155
I'm heading to meet a few friends at Dà Dòng to share one of Beijing's iconic dishes, the savory and decadent Peking duck.
156
When it's done traditionally, the skin should be perfectly crispy, and the meat full of juicy flavor.
157
I want to go to Argentina to get the beef.
158
We've had a bunch of really fun adventures all over the world.
159
And then Beijing is the place where we all meet up and congregate together.
160
We were saying this dinner, everyone's flying in from different places and meeting up in the heart of where it all began.
161
So that just makes it a really special place to be celebrating with really special people.
162
Also today is the first day of autumn in Liqiu.
163
So it's also a good time to be...
164
I feel like it's so hot.
165
It's not at all.
166
Oh my god.
167
You tell me you're running outside today.
168
I have a challenge for her to be very nice.
169
I have yet to find a place overseas that serves Peking duck like in Beijing.
170
And so every time I'm in Beijing, it's an absolute must for me.
171
The way that the skin crisps is absolutely unparalleled.
172
The initial kind of crisp is just, it's mind-blowing, seriously.
173
That's probably what heaven tastes like.
174
Beijing will always be close to my heart.
175
I'm so happy you could spend my off day experiencing it with me.
176
Until next time, 再见!

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
