German Listening Practice A2-B1 🇩🇪 | My Week in German (Alltagsdeutsch)

I would like to tell you what I did last week. But first I need a drink. Better! I worked from Monday to Friday. But on Monday evening I attended a circus. The circus tent was decorated with many beautiful lights. It looked beautiful. There were many talented circus artists. The two circus performers gave a wonderful show. You first climbed up the poles and then simply let themselves fall. That was really very acrobatic. And the colorful spotlights made the show especially exciting. Wow! This man balanced another man on his feet. And he did several backflips. Not just one somersault, but several, so many. That was my favorite performance. These acrobats hung high above the stage. and spun around very quickly and elegantly. In the end, they brought a large metal sphere onto the stage. The performers drove their motorcycles around in a circle. Very quickly, then. You started first with an artist, Then there were two, then three, then four And in the end, there were five of them. That was really very exciting. I could hardly believe it, that five motorcycles have simultaneously fit into the sphere. Overall, it was really a great evening. After that, I had a completely normal workweek, But then, finally, the weekend came. On Saturday, the weather was very nice, That's why I spent a lot of time outdoors. I went for a walk and ate a few snacks. We shared a dumpling and a Scotch egg. The Scotch egg was very interesting. This is a British snack. It usually consists of a hard-boiled egg, It is surrounded by a layer of meat. Outside, there is a breadcrumb coating. But this version was vegan. There was no real egg in the middle and no meat either. Nevertheless, it tasted very authentic. We were at a street food market with various stalls. It was quite busy because it was sunny. Many people have talked, eaten, and spent time together. I wanted to order a tree-shaped pastry and stood in line. I looked at the board and had to think for a moment, which type I should order I then chose the classic cinnamon and sugar dough twist. The employee wrapped the dough around a long roll. Then, the piece was baked in this oven. The pastry is called Baumstriezel because it somewhat resembles a tree trunk. It was still quite warm, you could even see the steam. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I had to try the tree-shaped pastry right away because it smelled so good. I sat down and enjoyed the beautiful weather and the view. On Sunday I had a different adventure. I attended a LEGO fair. Many people have displayed their self-built LEGO models there. Look here, do you recognize this castle? This is Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. It is a very famous castle and visited by many tourists every year. This model is made entirely of Lego bricks. But that was not all yet. There were very many large Lego models. Look how detailed everything looks. It must have taken hours, or perhaps even weeks, to build all of this. I believe this is supposed to depict a futuristic city. Also a city from the future. The train slowly passed by me. This train traveled faster. Another train. The train has gone through the tunnel. Here is a scene from a zombie apocalypse. The idea comes from the series The Walking Dead. It's a series about people who must survive in a world full of zombies. That was also very nice. It reminded me a little of Switzerland. It was very exciting to see all the LEGO models. It was not only very interesting for children, but also for adults. What does a typical weekend look like for you? What do you usually do on Saturdays and Sundays? Feel free to write it in the comments. Thank you very much and see you soon!
