| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "beach volleyball." |
| Yasmine: beach-volley |
| Eric: In social media, nouns are often used by themselves to point out something particularly important. Listen again- "beach volleyball" is... |
| Yasmine: (SLOW) beach-volley (REGULAR) beach-volley |
| Eric: All together, "On today's agenda: beach volleyball! " |
| Yasmine: Au programme d'aujourd'hui: beach-volley! |
