SWING GYPSY-----摇摆吉普车 Opening ? F: Hello, everyone. Welcome to this week’s Crispy English on Xiamen University Broadcasting Station. I’m Sijia. M: I’m Yuanxuan. F: To outsiders, the Gypsy is always a mystery. From origin to fortune telling, from clothing to everyday life, everything about them seems to be covered with a veil. M: In today’s program, we are going to get close to the special ethnic group—the Gypsy. F: We will begin the journey with Word Club, and in World’s Kaleidoscope, more information about the Gypsy is waiting for you.
