I think the english translations in the text version of the dialogue are mismatched in some places like:

 
   
 
不要说孩子,连我爷爷都是乔丹的球迷。我上中学的时候,最自豪的事情就是穿一双名牌运动鞋。当年一双鞋可是好多人一个月的工资,可是很多父母还是会全力满足孩子的要求。可见NBA的魅力有多大。
   
  It's even bigger than the American population. So twenty years ago, when the NBA started distribution in China, they first gave free re-broadcasts. Then, they popularized the star players. Star players from different eras were idols for many Chinese kids.

Somewhat interesting but it seems more like an elementary level topic than an intermediate one. 在清明节的时候怎么对别的人祝福?

你可以说:“我受不了了我的学生清一色的思想” - I'm tired of my students' homogenous (all a like) thinking?

the title of this lesson made me think of the wu-tang clan song "protect yo neck." I dunno if anyone knows that song. Maybe it's just me.

eh, i guess that ok but thats 25,000 lives in like almost 30 yrs since the drinking age has been enforced which turns out to be like on average 833 lives in a country of over 300 million people. that's not exactly a compelling reason to keep the law with its many other faults.

great dialogue with a lot of useful words. yes, 21 to drink in the US is ridiculous and ineffective. Enforcement wastes public resources and potentially gives kid criminal records for something so minor as drinking alcohol. We can vote and serve our country in the military at 18 but can't drink? it's absurd
