M:Lucy, where are you going this weekend?
W:I’m going to the beach with some of my classmates. Want to join us, Mike?
M:Why not? I’ve always wanted to see the boats there. But the bus is really crowded on the weekend.
W:I know. Some students ask me to take the train and have a good view along the way. Luckily, I have my brother’s car.
M:Do you have space for me?
W:Sure. We only have three people so far.
M:When are we leaving?
W:Friday, about 4:30. Shall I pick you up somewhere?
M:Yes, please. I’ll be going to Professor Wilson’s office at 3:30 in the afternoon. We can meet an hour later in front of the building.
W:OK. Then we can go to Joe’s place together to pick him up.

M:I’m thinking of going to New Zealand next year. Could you tell me when is a good time to go?
W:You’d better not go in the winter. It can be very cold and wet from June to August. But if you go from around November to March, you should have nice weather.
M:I see. And what places would you suggest I visit?
W:I think you will like Auckland. That’s the biggest city. And the capital Wellington is nice too. Christchurch is also worthy of a visit. It’s internationally known as the Garden City. Then you should try to see as much of the countryside as possible.
M:Is there plenty of scenery to see?
W:Yes. It’s a small country, but there are mountains, beaches, lakes and everything. You can even go skiing on the South Island if you want to.
M:That sounds nice. I’ll think about it. Thanks for your advice.

M:Oh, Lucy, glad to meet you here on the bus.
W:Oh, you are Jim, right? Long time no see.
M:Yeah, I remember we met at Tom’s wedding party last time.
W:Yes, I remember it too. How is Tom now?
M:Oh， he and Kate are happy together now, but I don’t know Kate very well.
W:I am glad to hear they are happy. I actually don’t know Kate well either. So where are you going?
M:I am going to the city library to do some reading. What about you?
W:I am going to the No.1 Hospital to look after my mother. She is ill in hospital now.
M:I am sorry to hear that. Wait! You are going to the No.1 Hospital?
W:What happened?
M:Oh, this is the No. 15 bus. You should take the No. 50 bus.
W:Oh, no!

M:Mrs. Williams, have you been swimming for a long time?
W:No, I started to get fit after my youngest child was born.
M:So when did you start taking it seriously?
W:About three years ago. I joined the swimming club then, which really made me work at it.
M:And now, how often do you practise?
W:Every day. But I can’t go regularly, as I have to make arrangements for the children to be looked after.
M:And what does your husband think about it?
W:Oh, he thinks it’s wonderful. He’s pleased that I’ve got something more interesting to think about than housework, and he’s proud of me for getting into the country team and winning prizes.
M:Well, thank you very much, Mrs. Williams.

John Collins was a writer, who wrote short stories for magazines. One evening he couldn’t find an ending to a story. He sat with his typewriter in front of him, but he had no idea. So he decided to go to the cinema.
When he came back, he found that he had had a visitor, who had broken into his house. The visitor had had a drink, smoked several of John’s cigarettes and had read his story. The visitor left John a note, which read, "I’ve read your story and I don’t think highly of it. Please read my advice and you’re surely able to finish it. But before you become a successful writer, I will return to your house from time to time."
John read the thief’s advice. Then he sat down and wrote the rest of the story. He is still not a successful writer, so he is waiting for the thief to return. Before he goes out in the evening, he always leaves a half-finished story near his typewriter. |
