Text 2

W: Why are you late? Did you forget you were supposed to work today?

M: No. I got here on time,but I was outside cleaning snow off the steps. We didn’t want anyone to fall on the way inside to the shop.

Text 3

W: I want my daughter to learn to play music,but her hands are too small for my old guitar.

Text 4

M: Has the post come,Mom? My monthly magazine hasn’t arrived yet. I might have to buy one from the shop.

W: That would be a waste. Can’t you read it online for once?

Text 5

W: My shoes have become uncomfortable in the past few days. Should I get new ones?

Text 6

M: I can’t stay awake in here. I slept very well last night but I still can’t keep my eyes open.

W: We need some air in the room. When all the windows are closed,it feels like you can’t breathe.

M: Should I open one?

W: I think so. The other two won’t be back until three o’clock,so it’s our decision. Let’s get some fresh air.

M: Where are the others?

W: They went for a walk. Maybe they couldn’t breathe,either.

W: You seem to be thinking very deeply. What’s on your mind? Bills or the kids?

M: Actually,I was thinking about treasure. I mean,after all,we do live next to an ancient site.

W: Yes,we live next to the castle,not inside it. If there’s any treasure,that’s where it will be.

M: But I’ve been reading about some people who found treasure in a field quite a long way from an ancient temple. It was near the site of an old house that no one knew about.

W: Lucky for them.

M: I might try digging in our garden.

W: Darling,all you will find in our garden are bones buried by the dog.

M: Why are English people always saying “please” and “thank you”?

W: In Western countries,particularly the UK,it is very important to be polite. People will be very upset if you are not.

M: Yesterday I stood on an English man’s foot,and he said sorry to me! That was crazy.

W: Well,even English people laugh at things like that. Being polite is a habit for them,even when it isn’t needed.

M: I suppose it is a form of kindness. Maybe I will be more like that when I get back to China.

W: It doesn’t matter where you are—England,China or France. If you are nice to people,they will usually be nice to you.

Text 9

W: You are looking very healthy. The last time I saw you I was worried about you. You looked ill.

M: Yes,I wasn’t feeling too well,so I decided to change my diet.

W: What was wrong with your diet?

M: I was eating and drinking the wrong types of things,such as hamburgers,sweets and bad food like that.

W: So you changed to proper food,like chicken and fish?

M: No,I cut them out altogether. From now on it’s just fruit and vegetables for me.

W: Wow,that’s extreme.

M: Well,I was feeling bad. I needed to take action and change my diet.

W: You should do some exercise as well. That’s what doctors recommend.

M: Funny you should say that. There’s a fun run in town tomorrow and I’m going to be taking part.

W: Well done. Anyway,I’ll tell everyone in the office I saw you. How’s the new job?

M: Relatively easy. These days I get to see my family a bit more.

Thanks for watching News Channel 11. The first news today is about the new hospital on Second Street. Workers have been building it for six months,and it finally opens tomorrow! Now you won’t have to go to the next town when you’re sick or have an emergency. It’s a large,beautiful building with all new beds and medical equipment. It’s also hiring doctors and nurses. In other news,the big bank on Main Street is closed for two weeks. A tree fell on it during the storm last weekend,and it’s being fixed. The smaller bank on Forest Road is open,however. So you can go to the Forest Road if you need a visit to the bank. The last news is about the new city program to clean up our neighborhoods. We’re asking everyone to spend Saturday afternoon cleaning your yard and the street near your house. Some people are also helping clean the city park. Let’s take care of our city together. Thanks for listening,and have a good night!
