Rap or weather forecast?

  1. Dengdeng

    我(wǒ)最近(zuìjìn)在(zài)学(xué)说唱(shuōchàng)，你(nǐ)听听(tīngtīng)。

    I've been learning rap lately. Have a listen.

  2. Liangliang

    说唱(shuōchàng)很难(hěnnán)吧(ba)？要(yào)说(shuō)得(de)又快又准(yòukuàiyòuzhǔn)。

    Rap is hard, right? You have to speak fast and accurately.

    Yes, I practiced for a week and only know a short part.

  4. Liangliang

    那(nà)你(nǐ)来一段(láiyīduàn)吧(ba)！

    Then give us a verse!

  5. Dengdeng

    今天(jīntiān)晴(qíng)，明天(míngtiān)阴(yīn)，后天(hòutiān)刮(guā)大风(dàfēng)！

    Sunny today, cloudy tomorrow, strong wind the day after!

  6. Liangliang

    你(nǐ)这(zhè)是(shì)说唱(shuōchàng)，还是(háishi)在(zài)读(dú)天气预报(tiānqìyùbào)？

    Is this rap, or are you reading the weather forecast?
