Hi Sovan! At B1 level, you MUST stop trying to translate every word in your head. Listen only for the STRESSED words (usually nouns and verbs). If you hear "MEETING", "FRIDAY", and "BOSS", you know the gist is Work! center_focus_strong

Can "leisure" mean just sleeping or doing nothing?

Yes, definitely! "Leisure" just means "Free Time". If your free time activity is "taking it easy" and sleeping all day, that is a leisure topic! bedtime

What if they use a mixed topic? Like talking about work and then suddenly talking about leisure?

That happens a lot! Listen for transition words like "After work..." or "Anyway, for the weekend...". These signal words tell you that the Gist is changing! sync
