Cactus and Succulent Show 🌵 [Learn English Listening]
[EP 70] Cactus Interview Show! Oh, and I put "Learn English Listening" in the show title so more people can find it. Will it work? If it did and you are a new listener, Hi there! Join the fun! Transcription below!
*** Hi everybody in this episode of Unexpected English we visit the San Diego Cactus and Succulent Society. Say that again: the San Diego Cactus and Succulent Society. Yeah,  and I'll tell you my favorite part of this interview. Um, when  I'm talking to the lady, I repeat that name (the name of the society) because I repeat things during the interview to help you understand. And so, I repeat that and then I say "And it's a show" after she tells me it's a show and and at this point she must think I'm a little stupid. Because, you listen, and she says yes it's a SHOW, we're having a SHOW. OK that's it that's my introduction. Here we go!
*** OK here we are in Balboa Park at a special event and I thought I would interview somebody who could explain just what's happening. Hi, my name is Susan I am a volunteer with the Cactus and Succulent Society of San Diego. Today and yesterday we have our big annual show and sale. OK, hold up now, this is... what is the name of the society again? San Diego Cactus and Succulent Society. All right then today there is a show. Yes, this is the show, we have probably over 600 plants in the SHOW. They were judged yesterday evening and they all have their ribbons placed next to them. We have several that were trophy winners and they are up on the stage at the front of the room. Oh, oh so I can go and find first place and second place and third place. That is correct. And how many different categories of prizes or awards or ribbons are there? Well, there's three categories --- you get first prize second prize or third place OK? And it's blue ribbon, red ribbon or white ribbon. And if you get a ... if you are a special plant, then you get a plaque up on the stage. OK? OK, and how many people do you think ... ah, how many entries were there in this competition... it's kind of a competition, right? Yeah, well there’s probably over 600 plants in this room. So about 600 entries, and then there were how many winners? Oh, I have no idea. Any, any number of winners... you have to go and look and see the ribbons. And how many people you think will be visiting the show today? Really I don't know, but we had hundreds of people yesterday and probably about 500 today also. OK, fantastic! So we have a popular event here in Balboa Park and I hope you enjoyed the interview.
*** [outro] and then .... Auction sounds!
