W: Hi, Henry, did you say you're going to take a vacation next week?

M: Actually, I'm leaving for Dollie this weekend. 

W: Cool, but I can't get away until the end of July.

W: I heard that they are planning to build a high-tech agricultural lab in our village? 

M: What? It sounds like the kind of development we actually need. 

Text 3

M: We just passed the City Library. The museum should be next to the traffic lights. 

W: Good. The exhibition starts in 10 minutes. We'll be there on time. 

M: I need to find a place to park our car first.

M: How was the performance between the two competing teams last night?

W: Amazing. I watched the whole game sitting on the edge of the chair.

W: Is this your first camping trip in this forest?

M: Yes, the scenery is wonderful! Though I wish the mosquitoes weren't so energetic. See, my arms and legs are blanketed with so many bites. 

W: Oh, no.

Text 6

M: Excuse me, ma'am, is this your car parked here?

W: Yes, officer. Is there a problem?

M: You're in a no-parking zone. The sign clearly says “No Parking 8 AM -6 PM.” 

W: Oh I didn't see that sign. I just stopped for a quick coffee.

M: I'm afraid you'll have to move it immediately, or I'll have to issue a ticket. 

W: Understood. I'll leave right away.

W: Hello, Sara speaking.

M: Hello, Sara. This is Sam. I'm just calling about our meeting this afternoon. I wonder if it's possible to change our appointment time. 

W: Let me see, I need to check my schedule first.

M: I'm really sorry. And I hope it doesn't inconvenience you too much. My wife Tara needs to attend a painting exhibition and I have to drive her there.

W: You know what, I can't make it to our meeting either. I'm going to record a variety show. Why don't we postpone it until tomorrow afternoon at the same time? 

M: Sounds great.

W: Hi, John. Sorry, I'm late. I just came back from Sarah's.

M: Oh, how is she doing? I heard she hasn't been feeling well lately. 

W: That's why I went to see her. She's recovering, but she's still feeling a bit weak. 

M: Well. I'm glad she's getting better. Did you stay for long?

W: No, I didn't. I just dropped off some soup and had a quick chat. I have to prepare for the important meeting with the client tomorrow morning. 

M: The one about our new marketing proposal? 

W: Yes. I need to finalize the presentation tonight. I think Sarah would lead the discussion if she were here. But I'll have to take over for her.

M: That makes sense. By the way, I'm going to see Sarah tomorrow. Do you think sending her some flowers would be a good idea? 

W: That's nice. You're so thoughtful.

W: Welcome to Golden Years Radio, I'm Alice. Today, we have Mr. Chen from the Sunshine Senior University with us. Hello, Mr. Chen. Could you tell us about your programs for elderly learners? 

M: Certainly! Our university offers a variety of courses designed specifically for retirees. On weekdays, they can attend classes like calligraphy.

W: That sounds wonderful. What else does the program include?

M: Well, we also organize social activities such as weekend hiking. 

W: That's excellent for both mental and physical health. Do the students get any opportunities to engage with younger generations?

M: Yes! We have a “Wisdom Exchange” program where seniors share life experiences with high school students. In return, teens teach them digital skills like online shopping. 

W: That's a fantastic way to narrow the generation gap. Are there any career-related courses for seniors? 

M: Absolutely. We offer part-time job training and volunteer opportunities — many of our graduates now work as guides or assistants.

W: So, your program isn't just about leisure but also meaningful social contribution. 

M: Exactly. We believe aging shouldn't stop learning and giving back. 

W: Inspiring work. Thank you, Mr. Chen.

M: Citizens of Nanjing, our “Heritage Trees Conservation Program” urgently calls for your support! These magnificent ancient trees — some dating back more than 500 years — are not merely natural wonders but irreplaceable backbones of our city's biodiversity. Serving as important habitats, their trunks provide a shelter for Nanjing's local bird populations, while their seeds and fruits sustain over 200 bird species, including migratory birds that rely on them during seasonal journeys. Beyond ecology, these trees are living monuments, embodying centuries of history and cultural heritage. Yet, despite their ecological and historical significance, the fast development of the city has caused serious damage. Since 2010, construction projects have already destroyed 15% of Nanjing's heritage trees, threatening the ecosystems that depend on them. Without immediate action, we risk losing these natural treasures forever. We need volunteers to record tree locations using our app, monitor bird activities, and report damage. Selected participants will receive training from experts and earn “Green Guardian” certification. Together, we can preserve these living museums.
