常用应急场景

范例一：Learn to play Majiang

M: Have you ever played Majiang?

W: Not really, but I know it is very popular a traditional Chinese gambling game.

M: Yes, some friends play it all day, all night, and sometimes a whole weekend. I tried to read about some basic rules online, but it is hard to understand. So I went to watch people play yesterday only to find I was even more confused. I think I have to work hard on those rules and more learning by doing. Practice makes the master.

W: Typical Francis, whether you are at work, or engaged in leisure time activities, you always show the same eagerness and curiosity to learn something new and improve yourself.

M: It is important to keep your mind up-to-date and active.

范例二：Cool down

M: I am going to celebrate my birthday with you all in a night club this year, what do you say?

W: Fantastic! I enjoy clubbing, especially those clubs with live bands. The only fly in the ointment is that the air is bad, full of smoke, and the music is too loud, so conversations are not really possible. Once I nearly got burnt by a cigarette.

M: How did that happen?

W: A wild dancer dropped it on my left foot and said nothing about it. If I had drunk enough and I would have had the bold to punch him in the face.

M: Sounds cool! But that is not what a lady should do. People are easy to lose head in a night club and being drunk.
