W: Hi, Andy. I didn't see you in Professor Smith's class yesterday. What happened?

M: Mary, how are your Chinese lessons going?

W: I'm learning very slowly. It's more difficult than English.

W: I have a dentist appointment then. Is the afternoon OK?

M: Well, how long would you like to meet?

W: Excuse me. Do you think I can return these gloves?

M: What's the problem with them?

W: They are too small.

M: Didn't you try them on before you bought them?

W: Well, as a matter of fact, I received them as a gift.

M: OK, I see. I'm afraid I can't give you a cash return, but you can change them.

W: I believe you sell these gloves for ＄25.

M: Yes. I'll take the gloves of the same price for you to choose.

W: Oh, that pair looks nice. May I have a try?

M: It's ＄29.If you want to take that pair, you'll pay some extra money.

W: Hello, Simon. Where are you?

M: Hi, Janet, I'm home.

W: Why? I didn't notice you were not here until the teacher called your name but nobody replied.

M: I was about to call the teacher.

W: I heard that you fell when climbing the mountain last weekend.

M: Yes, I did. I nearly hurt my leg， but luckily there was nothing serious. What made me lie in bed was my fever after that. The temperature was much lower on the mountain.

W: Oh, have you gone to see the doctor?

M: Without the doctor's permission, how dare I stay at home during school hours? I can take two days' leave.

W: Please take care of yourself and I can help you with the leave.

M: It's very kind of you, Janet.

W: My pleasure. I'll hang up. Bye.

M: OK, I'll take my pills. Bye.

W: How is little Ed doing at the kindergarten, Jack?

M: Oh, he's doing fairly well. It's been three weeks since he first started going, so Macy and I are pretty used to it now. You should have seen Macy cry when Ed was about to set off on the first day, though.

W: I think that's a normal reaction for mothers. You live quite close to the kindergarten, don't you? How does he get there?

M: Macy walks there with him every morning unless the weather is bad. When it rains, Macy will drive.

W: And is Ed enjoying kindergarten?

M: Yeah, he loves to have other kids to play with. He keeps telling us things they do together.

W: What do the teachers at the kindergarten say about him?

M: They said he's bright, and that he's starting to learn how to tell time. Isn't that fantastic?

W: That is fantastic. It sounds like everything goes well.

M: I was walking around the other day when I saw a sign for The Bookworm. It's a really cool cafe that has great food, and sometimes it has music and other special events. Well, I happened to hear that Peter Hessler was going to be speaking at 7:30 that very night. Peter Hessler is probably my favorite writer at the moment. He used to write about China for The New Yorker, and he also wrote 3 books about his experience living and working in Beijing. I was so excited to hear him speaking that I went right over to The Bookworm at 7:00, took a seat at the bar, and waited for him to arrive. I waited and waited, but he didn't show up. Finally, at 8:30, I asked one of the staff when Peter Hessler was supposed to be there. "Peter Hessler?" he replied. "He's not supposed to be here tonight. He was here last month, though." It was then that I realized my mistake. I had come on the right day, but not in the right month!
