| Harp: | …So those are some traditional ways where we find people to date. |
| Maura: | Right, but more and more people take classes, and they work, and of course they have friends, but they still don’t find someone that they want to date or be in a relationship with. |
| Harp: | Exactly. So there are some new ways that are coming out to find people to date. |
| Maura: | Yes, and they’re on the Internet. |
| Harp: | Exactly. There are a lot of dating websites out there now. |
| Maura: | Yeah, there are so many — I don’t think I can even count them. |
| Harp: | No, I agree. |
| Maura: | So more and more it’s become normal for people to use dating websites to find someone to go on a date with. |

One day around three month ago, I visited culips.com for the first time, then downloaded a few podcasts and listened to them and I found this podcast so useful and full of fun. After that day I decided to listen to the podcasts everyday. So I downloaded all of the podcasts and continued to listen to them until now and it really helped me improve my English and now I'm so absorbed in following this great podcast. I want to thank this amazing team for their great job in teaching us English with their warm voices and their honest works. Thank you so much Maura, Harp, Robin and Jessie.
