国庆假期刚过去,休闲的时间里你都去哪里玩了？

我除了和朋友们约见聊天外,其他时间在家里追剧。

说到追剧,我看现在有很多网友称这是他们假期最爱做的事情之一。

B: Yup. Because we are usually too busy at work and the holidays are high travel seasons, a lot of people I know choose to stay at home to binge-watch shows.

是的。因为平日工作太忙,假期又是旅游高峰期,我身边也有很多人选择在家追剧。

我和朋友们做了一张计划表,按照计划放映大家选出来的电影和电视剧。最后大家还会聊聊剧情。

(wǒ hé pénɡyǒu mén zuòle yīzhānɡ jìhuábiǎo, ànzhào jìhuá fànɡyìnɡ dàjiā xuǎnchūlái de diànyǐnɡ hé diànshìjù.zuìhòu dàjiā háihuì liáoliáo jùqínɡ.)
