W:It's so hot today. I was going to wash the car and water the plants, but now I don't want to do anything.

M: I agree. You should have a rest. Too much work could cause you to feel uncomfortable.

M: Hello! I haven't seen you before.

W: I'm new here. I have just arrived at this school.

M: Really? Let me take you to your class. What class are you in？

W: I don't know.

M: Never mind. I will show you to the teachers' office. Come with me.

W: Thanks! Oh, by the way, I don't know where to put this bike.

M: Oh, you have got a bike, haven't you? You can put it over there.

W: It is very kind of you. Thank you.

M: Not at all. This way, please.

W:Julia and I are driving downtown this afternoon. Want to come, Tom?

M: Thanks, Cathy. But I've got to study. I'm behind in chemistry.

W: Well, in that case, is there anything we can get for you?

M: I left my watch to be fixed at Gilson's the other day. It should be ready by now.

W: If you've got the claim check, I'd be glad to pick it up.

M: Well, Cathy, now that I think about it, I've got something else to do downtown. I have to buy something at the supermarket. Maybe I'd better go with you.

W: We'll be leaving from the parking lot. I'm behind with my work so we'll only be there for a couple of hours.

M: Oh. If it's only a couple of hours, I can certainly go.

W: Great! See you in a few minutes.

Text 8

W:I haven't seen you for a while. Where have you been?

M: I took a tour around the Great Lakes. Have you ever been there?

W: Oh, yes! When I was young, I lived in Erie Town and I used to go swimming in Lake Erie. We also went to Lake Ontario in Canada.

M: But I think that Lake Erie is so polluted now that everything living in it has died.

W: At one time Lake Erie was almost dead. But since both America and Canada took some action to fight against water pollution, there has been a great change. In fact, all the Great Lakes will probably be improved within the next generation.

M: I'm glad to hear that.

Text 9

W:Can I help you?

M: Yes. I wonder if you could look at my leg.

W: What's the matter with it?

M: I was bitten by a dog yesterday evening. It was bleeding quite badly.

W: Let's have a look at it then. I see. What did you do before coming here?

M: I washed the wound under running water for a few minutes. Then I dried it with a clean cloth and tied another piece of clean cloth around it.

W: Does it hurt?

M: Yes, it does hurt a bit.

W: Is it your dog?

M: No. It belongs to a neighbor.

W: This is very important. The dog must be examined immediately.

M: Why is that? The dog is usually very friendly.

W: If the dog with a disease bites you, you could die.

M: Dear Mr. Smith, I've read your advertisement for a teaching assistant for a children's winter camp. I'm very interested in this position and I think my personality and working experience will qualify me for the job. To begin with, I gain much experience of working with children from my part-time job as a babysitter. Besides, I have been a helpful assistant for both my English teacher and my classmates. More importantly, I can speak English fluently, which will help me work with native teachers from English-speaking countries. I will be available for the work on evenings and weekends and can start working from the end of this term. I would really appreciate it if you could give me this opportunity so that I can accumulate more working experience.

Looking forward to your early reply.
