M:I’m sure you’ve noticed a lot of things that are different about our school.  

W:Oh, yes. In the United States, we don’t have to carry a big school bag with us like you do.  

M:Why is that? 

W:We have a locker of our own which is a small box with a lock. We keep textbooks and our personal things in it. I just bring a day pack to school.  

M:A day pack? 

W:Yes. It is a small bag that you carry on your back.  

M:What do you carry in it? 

W:My notebooks, or a few books for homework.  

M:That’s convenient. Is there anything else you’ve noticed about our school? 

W:Yes. I am surprised that everyone is so silent in class.  

M:What do you mean? 

W:Well, we usually ask questions about exams, homework or textbooks on the first day of the school year. The teacher likes such questions.  

M:So you thought it different.  

W:Yes. I expected to see a lot of discussions in class, because we learned that way in the United States.  

M:I see. That would be a good topic for our school newspaper for the first month of the term. Nice talking with you. See you around. Bye.  

W:Bye.

W:Good morning, everybody. Today for our writing class, we are glad to have Mr. Henry Stone with us, a well-known writer in this country. He is going to share with us his writing experiences. Now, Henry, please tell us how you find so many interesting things for your stories.  

M:OK. I watch people a lot. I do that when I travel. I’ve been to many countries, such as Britain, Italy and Sweden. So I spend a lot of time at airports. While waiting for my flights, I watch people passing by and start my imagination. For example, the other day when I was waiting for my flight to Greece, I saw a couple. They were buying magazines at that moment. They were not wearing business clothes, but the man was carrying a suitcase. Every few seconds, the woman looked around. I wondered if someone was following them. Perhaps they were running away and...You know, this reminded me of a story in the newspaper that day:a bank clerk stole one million pounds a week before and disappeared with his wife. There was a picture of them in the paper. The couple really looked like the thieves. Maybe I should stop them. Just then, I saw them say goodbye to each other, and the woman walked away. Well, sometimes I make mistakes like that, but I find things like that very useful for my writing.
