1 Daming: I have a question. What does “spring” mean?

Ms James: Spring? Spring is a season. It comes after winter and before summer. Try to remember our famous Spring Festival, Daming.

Daming: Oh, I understand.

2 Ms James: Lingling, your grammar isn’t correct. You made a mistake. It’s not “Yesterday I go to the cinema” but “Yesterday I…” .

Lingling: Went.

Ms James: Good. “Today I have an English lesson. Yesterday I…”

Lingling: Had.

3 Daming: How do you spell “cinema” ? I know how to pronounce it, but does it begin with “s” or “c” ?

Ms James: What do you think? How do you check the spelling of a word, Daming?

Daming: Well, I usually look it up in the dictionary. But this one is difficult because I don’t know the first letter!
