B: No, you can’t, Joe. The grass is wet.
A: Look, Mum. I can see a bench near the tree.
B: We can sit there.
A: No, you can’t, children. The bench is wet too.
B: It’s not raining, mum. The bench isn’t wet.
A: Can you see the notice on the bench, Amy?
B: Yes, I can.
A: What does the notice say?
B: I can’t read it. Can you read the notice, Joe?
A: I can read it. It says wet paint.
Unit Ten going aboard (Sun is going to study in Britain, and now he is asking Li some questions about going aboard.)
A: Hello, Mr. Li. I heard you’ve just come from England. And I’m going to study there within a month. Can you give me some suggestion about it?
B: Sure. What do you want to know?
A: First. What do you think I should take with me?
B: How long are you going to stay there?
A: Three years.
B: Oh, in that case, you need to take cloth for every season. But don’t take too much cloth. You can buy them quit cheap in England.
A: What kind of gift should I bring along?
B: Anything that is Chinese, but since your luggage allowance is 20 kilos. You’d better buy thing that don’t weight too much. Things like silk scarf, and paper cuts alike. That may be lovely present.
A: These have really been very useful. Thanks.
B: It’s been a pleasure. Good bye. |
