M:Oh, I’m really sorry, are you OK?

W:I’m fine, but I’M not very good at this.

M:Neither am I, say are you from south America? Did you grow up there?

W:Yes, I did, but my family moved here 8years ago when I was in high school.

M:And where did you learn the rollerblade?

W:Here in the park, this is only my second time.

M:Well, it’s my first time, can you give me some lessons?

W:Sure, just follow me.

M:By the way, my name is Ted.

W:And I’m Anna, nice to meet you.

Intermediate 1-2

M:Hey, hey! That was fun. Thanks for the lesson!

W:No problem. So, tell me a little about yourself. What do you do?

M:I work in a travel agency.

W:Really! What do you do here?

M:I’m in charge of their computers.

W:Oh, so you’re computer specialist.

M:Well, sort of. Yeah, I guess so.

W:That’s great. Then maybe you can give me some help with a computer course I’m taking. M:Oh, sure~ But only if you promise to give me some more rollerblading lessons.

W:It’s a deal!

Intermediate 2

W1:Where are you from originally, Yu Hong?

W2:I’m from China~ from near Shanghai.

W1:And when did you move here?

W2:I came here after I graduated from college. That was in 1992.

W1:And what do you do now?

W2:I’m a transportation engineer.

W1:I see. So you’re an immigrant to the United States.

W2:Yes, that’s right.

W1:What are some of the difficulties of being an immigrant in the U.S.?

W2:Oh, that’s not an easy question to answer. There are so many things, really. I guess one of the biggest difficulty is that I don’t have any relatives here. I mean, I have a lot of friends, but that’s not the same thing. In China, on holidays or the weekend, we visit relatives. It isn’t the same here.

W1:And what did you miss the most from home?

W2:Oh, that’s easy: my mom’s soup! She makes great soup! I really miss my mother’s cooking.

Intermediate 3-1

M:Hey! Are these pictures of you when you were a kid?

W:Yeah! That’s me in front of my uncle’s beach house. When I was a kid, we used to spend two

weeks there every summer.

M:Wow, I bet that was fun!

W:Yeah. We always had a great time. Every day we used to get up early and walk along the beach.

I had a great shell collection. In fact, I think it’s still up in the attic!

M:Hey, I used to collect shells, too, when I was a kid. But my parents threw them out!

Intermediate 3-2

M:You know what I remember most about growing up?

W:What?

M:Visiting my grandparent’s house. You know, on holidays and stuff. They lived way out of the country, and my granddad had a horse named Blackie. He taught me how to ride. I just love that horse-and she loved me, too! I used to really enjoy spending time at my grandparents’ house. And every time I came back, Blackie remembered me.

W:Ah, memories!

Intermediate 4-1

W:Why is there never a bus when you want one?

M:Good question. There aren’t enough buses on this route.

W:Sometimes I feel like writing a letter to the paper.

M:Good idea. You should say that we need more subway lines, too.

W:Yeah, there should be more public transportation in general.

M:And fewer cars! There’re too much traffic.

W:Say, is that our bus coming?

M:Yes, it is. But, look, it’s full.

W:Oh,no! Let’s go and get a cup of coffee. We can talk about this letter I’m going to write.

Intermediate 4-2

M:So, are you really going to write a letter to the paper?

W:Sure, I’m going to say something about the buses. They’re too old. We need more modern

buses~ nice air conditioned ones.

M:And they need to put more buses on the road.

W:Right, and there are too many cars downtown, and there isn’t enough parking.

M:That’s for sure. It’s impossible to find a parking space downtown these days.

W:I think they should ban private cars downtown between nine and five.

M:Oh, you mean they should allow any cars except taxis and buses during regular workday?

M:Hmm~ That sounds like a really good idea.

Intermediate 5-1

W:Excuse me, could you tell me where the bank is?

M:There’s one upstairs, across from the duty-free shop.

W:Oh, thanks. Do you know what time it opens?

M:It shouldn’t be open now. It opens at 8 a.m.

W:Good. And can you tell me how often the buses leave for the city?

M:You need to check at the transportation counter. It’s right down the hall.

W:OK. And one more thing. Do you know where the nearest restroom is?

M:Right behind you, ma’am. See that sign?

W:Oh, thanks a lot.

Intermediate 5-2

W:Excuse me. It’s me again. I’m sorry. I need some more information-if you don’t mind.

M:Not at all.

W:Thanks. Do you know how much a taxi costs to the city?

M:Well, it depends on the traffic, of course. But it usually costs about $40.

W:$40? I guess I’ll take the bus. That means I have almost an hour till the next one. Where could I

find an inexpensive restaurant in the airport? Maybe a fast-food place?

M:Go upstairs and turn right. You’ll see the snack bar on your left.

W:Thanks very much. Have a nice day!

M:You, too.

Intermediate 6

M:Quite a number of things have been done to help solve traffic problems in Singapore. For example, motorists must buy a special pass if they want to drive into the downtown business district. They can go into the business district only if they have the pass displayed on their windshield. Another thing Singapore has done is to make it difficult to buy cars. People have to apply for a certificate if they want to buy a car. And the number of certificates is limited. Not everyone can get one. There is also a high tax on cars. So it costs three or four times as much to buy a car in Singapore as it does in, say, the United States or Canada. The other thing Singapore has done is to build an excellent public transportation system. Their subway system is one of the best in the world. And there is also a very good and taxi and bus system.

Intermediate 7

M:What do you think?

W1:Well, it has just as many bedrooms as the last apartment. And the living room is huge.

W2:But the bedrooms are too small. And there isn’t enough closet space for my clothes.

M:And it’s not as cheap as the last apartment we saw.

W1:But that apartment was dark and dingy. And it was in a dangerous neighborhood.

M:Let’s see if the real estate agent has something else to show us. Well, how do you like this place, then?

W2:Oh, it’s much better than that other one. The thing I like best is the bedrooms. They are

huge!

W1:Yes, they are nice and big.

W2:And they are two bathrooms! I could have my own bathroom!

W1:Yes, I guess you could.

W2:The only problem is the color of the living room. I really don’t like those dark green walls. M:Oh, I’m we can change the color if we want to.

Intermediate 8-1

M:Creative Rentals. Good morning.

W:Hello. I’m calling the apartment you have for rent.

M:Yes, what can I tell you about it?

W:Where is it exactly?

M:It’s on King Street, just off the freeway.

W:Oh, near the freeway. Can you hear the traffic?

M:Yes, I’m afraid you do hear some. But the apartment has lots of space. It has three bedrooms and a very large living room.

W:I see. And is it in a new building?

M:Well, the building is about 50 years old.

W:Uh-huh. Well, I’ll think about it.

M:OK, thanks for calling.

W:Thank you. Bye.

Intermediate 8-2

W:Hello?

M:Hello. Is the apartment you’re advertising still available?

W:Yes, it is.

M:Can you tell me a little about it?

W:Well, it’s a perfect apartment for one person. It’s one room with a kitchen at one end.

M:I see. And is it far away from the subway?

W:There’s subway station just down the street. Actually, the apartment is located right downtown., so you step out of the building and there are stores and restaurant everywhere. But it’s on a high floor, so you don’t hear any street or traffic noise.

M:It’s sounds just like the kind of place I’m looking for. I’d like to come see it, please.

W:Sure, let me give you the address.

Intermediate 9-1

M:Yeah, I really need a change. I’ve been doing the same thing for over five years now, and I’m just learning anything new. It’s the same routine every day, and I’m really sick of sitting in front of the computer. I think I need to try something totally different. I want to be in a profession that involves meeting people.

Intermediate 9-2

W:I really need to join a club or sports team to give me something to do on weekends. I get really bored on the weekends. And if I joined a club, I’d probably get to meet people and make new friends.

Intermediate 9-3

M:I should take a typing course this summer. I really need it for my school work. And people say that if you can type really well, it’s something you’ll find useful later in life.

Intermediate 9-4

W:Gosh, I really have to go on a diet. I’ve gained ten pounds since last year, and everyone tells

me I look fat. And if I don’t lose weight now, I won’t be able to get into any of my summer clothes.

Intermediate 10-1

M1:So, where are you working now, Terry?

M2:Oh, I’m still at the bank. I don’t like it, though.

M1:That’s too bad. Why not?

M2:Well, it’s boring, and it doesn’t pay very well.

M1:I know what you mean. I don’t like my job, either. I wish I could find a better job.

M2:Actually, I don’t want to work at all anymore. I wish I had a lot of money so I could retire now. M1:Hmm, how old are you?

M2:Uh, twenty-six.

Intermediate 10-2

M1:So, how are things going with you and Susie, Terry?

M2:Oh, you didn’t know? She and I broke up a couple month ago. We decided we needed a break from each other for a while. But I miss her a lot. I wish we could get back together again. M1:I’m sure you will.

M2:I’m really hope so. So what kind of job would you like to look for?

M1:I’m not sure, but I’d love something that would involve travel. And I’d really like to move to another city. I’m sick of this place. I need to live somewhere more exciting.

M2:I know what you mean. It sure can get boring around here at times.

Intermediate 11-1

W:Hey, this sounds good, snails with garlic! Have you ever eaten snails?

M:No, I haven’t.

W:Oh, there are delicious! I had them last time. Like to try some?

M:No, thanks, they sounds strange.

W2(waitress):Have you decided on an appetizer yet?

W:Yes, I’ll have the snails, please.

W2:And you, sir?

M:I think I’ll have the fried brains.

W:Fried brains? Now that really sounds strange!

Intermediate 11-2

W:Oh, good, here comes the waitress now!

W2:Here are your snails, madam. And for you, sir~ the fried brains.

M:Thank you.

W:Mmm, the snails are delicious! How are the brains?

M:Well, I think they’re~ yuck! Oh, sorry, I guess brains are pretty strange after all. Um, I think I’m going to order something else, if you don’t mind.

W:Oh, sure. Go ahead.

M:Miss! Excuse miss!

W2:Yes?

M:Uh, I really don’t care for this appetizer. Could you bring me something else?

W2:Yes, of course. What would you like instead?

W:Try the snails.

M:No, I don’t think so. I’ll tell you what. Just forget an appetizer for me, and bring me a nice, juicy hamburger~ medium rare~ with French fries and a large soda.

Intermediate 11-3

W1:Have you finished with this?

M1:No, I’m still drinking it, thanks.

M2:Did you order this?

W2:Yes, that’s mine. Mmm, it looks great and smells delicious!

M3:Don’t you like it?

W3:I haven’t tasted it yet. I’m waiting for the waitress to bring me a fork.

M4:Did you enjoy it?

W4:Well, it was a little tough. I think it was cooked for too long.

W5:How is it?

M5:Great. Just the way I like it: black and strong.

M6:Your turn or mine?

M7:It’s my treat this tine. You paid last time. Remember?

Intermediate 13-1

W1:I’m so excited, we have two weeks off! What are you going to do?

W2:I’m not sure. I guess I’ll stay home. Maybe I’ll catch up my reading. What about you? Any plans?

W1:Well, my parents have rented a condominium in Florida. I’m going to take long walks along the beach every day and do lots of swimming.

W2:Sounds great!

W1:Say, why don’t you come with us? We have plenty of room.

W2:Do you mean it? I’d love to!

Intermediate 13-2

M:Have you planed anything for the summer, Brenda?

W:Yeah. I’m going to work the first month and save some money. Then I’m going to go down to Mexico for six weeks to stay with my sister. She’s working in Guadalajara. She says it’s really interesting there, so I want to go and see what it’s like. It will also give me a chance to practice my Spanish. I’m really looking forward to it.

Intermediate 13-3

W1:So, what are you planning to do for your vacation, Judy?

W2:Oh, I’m doing something really exotic this year.

W1:You know, I went to Hawaii last year, and stayed on the beach for two weeks. This year, I’m going white-water rafting!

W2:Oh, that sounds great. But what is it, exactly?

W1:Oh, well, you know. It’s in Colorado. They have all these trips down the rapids. The water

gets really rough, but I think it’ll be really exciting.

W2:Oh, I’m doing some rock climbing, too. And you call that a vacation?

Intermediate 14-1

M:Hi, I’m your new neighbor, George Rivera. I lived in the next door.

W:Oh, hi. I’m Stephanie Lee.

M:So, you just moved in? Do you need anything?

W:Not right now, but thanks.

M:Well, let me know if you do. Um, by the way, would you mind turning your stereo down? The walls are really thin, so the sound goes right through to my apartment.

W:Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize that. I’ll make sure to keep the volume down. Oh, by the way, is there a good Italian restaurant in the neighborhood?

M:Yeah, there’s a great one a couple of blocks from here. Try their lasagna. It’s delicious!

Intermediate 14-2

M:Hello, I’m sorry to bother you, but I think your car is parked in my space downstairs.

W:Really?

M:Yes, do you drive a blue Honda?

W:Yes, I do.

M:Well, there’s blue Honda parked in space 13 and that’s my space.

W:Oh, I’m so sorry. My son must have put it in the wrong space. Ours is the one right next to yours- number 12. Let get my keys, and I’ll go right down and move the car.

M:Thanks.

W:And I’ll make sure my son doesn’t do it again.

M:I appreciate it.

Intermediate 15-1

M1:Jason~ Jason! Turn down the TV a little, please.

M2:Oh, but this is my favorite program!

M1:Definitely!

Intermediate 15-2

drives me crazy.

W:And he can never find his glasses either.

M:I know.

W:You know what drives me crazy about Mom?

M:What?

W:Those awful talk shows she watches on TV. She just love them.

M:Yeah, I think she watches them for hours everyday.

M:Me, too. Hey, let’s go and play a video game.

W:Great idea. By the way, have you seen my glasses anywhere?

Intermediate 16-1

M:Did you know next week is Halloween? It’s on October 31st.

W:So what do you do on Halloween? We don’t have that holiday in Russia.

M:Well, it’s a day when kids dress up in masks and costumes. They knock on people’s doors and ask for candy by saying the words ‘TRICK OR TREAT’.

W:Hmm. Sounds interesting.

M:But it’s not just for kids. Lots of people have costume parities. Hey, my friend Pete is having a party. Would you like to go?

W:Sure, I’d love to.

Intermediate 16-2

W:So are we going to wear costumes to the party?

M:Of course. That’s half the fun. Last year I rented this great Dracula costume, and this year I’m going as a clown.

W:A clown? Yes, you would make a good clown.

M:Hey!

W:Oh, I’m just kidding. What about me? What kind of costume should I wear?

M:Why don’t you go as a witch? I saw a terrific which outfit at the costume store.

W:A witch~ yeah, that’s a good idea. So after I scare people, you can make them laugh.

Intermediate 19-1

M:I don’t know what classes to take this semester. I can’t decide what I want to do with my life.

Have you thought about it, Brenda?

W:Yes, I have. I think I’d make a good journalist because I love writing.

M:Maybe I could be a teacher because I’m very creative. And I like working with kids.

W:Oh, I wouldn’t want to be a teacher. I’m too impatient.

M:I know one thing I could never do.

W:What’s that?

M:I could never be a stockbroker, because I’m not good at making decisions quickly.

Intermediate 19-2

W:My history professor says I should think about a career in politics. But I don’t think I’d make a good politician.

M:Why not, Brenda?

W:Oh, you know me, I’m terrible at speaking in front of a lot of people-You know, like giving

speeches and things. And politicians have to speak in public all the time.

M:That’s true. You know, that reminds me of a problem I’m having.

W:What is it?

M:Yoou know my parents have a really successful restaurant, right? Well, my father wants me to be the manager.

W:And you don’t want to?

M:No, not at all. I’d be a terrible manager. I’m much too disorganized.

It has a framework inside that’s made of iron; The outer skin is made of copper. The copper skin is only2.4 millimeters thick. The supporting framework inside the statue is what holds the whole thing together. The Statue of Liberty is a major tourist attraction, and every about two million people from all over the world come here to visit it.

Intermediate 21-1

M:How did you get into modeling, Stacy?

W:Well, when I graduated from drama school, I moved to Los Angeles to look for work as an actress. I was going to auditions every day, but I never got any parts. And I was running out of money.

M:So, what did you do?

W:I got a job as a waitress in a seafood restaurant. While I was working there, a customer offered me some work as a model. Within a few weeks, I was modeling full time.

M:Wow, what a lucky break!

Intermediate 21-2

W:So, Richard, what did you do after you graduated？

M:Well, I majored in English literature in college.

W:Uh-huh.

M:So, when I graduated, I tried to make my living as a writer.

W:Oh, really?

M:Yeah. See. I’ve written a novel. And I’ve sent to eight different publishers, but they all, uh,

rejected it. Say, would you like to read it, Stacy? I have it right with me.

W:Well, I’d love to read it, Richard~ but not right now. Uh, so do you have a job anything?

M:Oh, yes. I’m in sales.

M:How come?

W:I’m saving the money for a trip Europe.

M:Well, I’ve only been spending money. I quit my job to the graduate school. I’m studying journalism.

W:Really? How long have you been doing that?

M:For two years, luckily, I finish next month. I’m almost out of money.

Intermediate 22-2

W:Hey, Bob, how’s it going?

M:Pretty good, thanks.

W:I haven’t seen you for a while. What have you been up to?

M:Well, I’ve been looking for a house to buy. I finally found one last month. I’ll move in next week.

M:Yeah, I’m really tired of dealing with landlords. So what have you been doing lately?

W:Well, I just got back from a vacation in Italy.

M:Italy? Where about in Italy?

W:Mostly in the north, around Milan. I have a cousin up there.

M:I see, did you have a good time?

W:Yeah, it was great. In fact, I just got engaged to a guy I met there.

M:You’rekidding! Well, that must have been some vacation!

Intermediate 23

W:Ugh! I feel awful. I really have to stop smoking.

M:So why don’t you quit?

W:Well, if I quit, I might gain weight!

M:A lot of people do, but~

W:And if I gain weight, I won’t be able to fit into any of my clothes!

M:Well, you can always go on a diet.

W:Oh, no. I’m terrible at losing weight diets. So if my clothes don’t fit, I’ll have to buy new ones. I’ll have to get a part-time job, and~

M:Listen, it is hard to quit, but it’s not that hard. Do you want to know how I did it? Well, giving

up smoking isn’t really as hard as you think. I managed to do it, so it can’t be that difficult. You

should try nicotine gun. You chew it just regular chewing gun, and you don’t feel like smoking.

W:Well, I guess it’s worth a try.

Intermediate 24-1

W:Welcome to A Night at the Movies! I’m Pauline Kahn~

M:And I’m Colin Hale. Good evening!

W:Tonight we’re going to review the new James Bond film. Well, I really liked this new James

Bond actor very, very much!

M:Mm-hmm.

W:He’s the best actor they’re ever had in the role-warm, human, even funny. A totally believable character.

M:I have to agree, a perfect double-oh- seven type. Pauline, what do you think of the story? W:It was a standard story for a Bond movie~ Uh, the usual beautiful women, the usual evil villain- nothing new.

M:Well, I’m surprised. I have to say that I thought the story was unusually good. The race car scenes were exciting , and the surprise ending was great.

W:Well, I can’t agree with you there!

Intermediate 24-2

M:Well, what do you think about the photography?

W:I was not very impresses at all by the photography. Everything looks fake, not real. I can’t

believe it was actually filmed in Africa where the story took place.

M:I can’t believe you! I haven’t seen such good photography in a long time, especially in the action scenes.

W:Now that brings up another weakness in the film, the special effects. Again, it just the same old stuff~ the car that flies, the pen that’s really a gun. You get tired of that kind of thing.

M:I’d hardly think you and I saw the same movie, Pauline. I have to say that the special effects were the best ever in a Bond film. For example, the scene where ~

W:Excesu me, Colin. We’re going to have to break for a commercial.

M:You’re right, Pauline. We’ll be right back with our ratings.

Intermediate 25

M:Look at this. Some guy found $750,000! He returned it and the owner thanked him with a

phone call.

W:You’re kidding! If I found $750,000, I wouldn’t return it so fast.

M:Why? What would you do?

W:Well, I’d go straight to Las Vegas, and try my luck in the casinos. I could double the money in a

day and keep $750,000 for myself.

M:You might also lose it all in a day. And then you could go to jail.

W:Hmm, you’ve got a point there.

Intermediate 28

W1:How do you like your new boss?

M1:She’s OK. I just wish she’d learn to lighten up a little.

W1:What do you mean?

M1:Oh, she never enjoys a joke. She never laughs, it’s hard to even get a smile out of her.

M2:Look what Mary gave me! Isn’t this a great book?

W2:Yeah, it is! Mary’s so sweet. She’s always giving her friends and co-workers presents. I wish there were more people like her in this world.

W3:What do you think of the new French teacher?

M3:Well, she’s kind of strange. She’s in good mood one minute and in a terrible mood the next.

M4:Hey, what’s wrong?

W4:I’m fed up with my brother! It seems as if he’s always angry at me about something.

M4:Really?

W4:Yeah. He gets upset so easily. I don’t what’s the matter with him.

So you’re an immigrant to the United State? Yu Hong: Yes, that’s right. Reporter: What are some of the difficulties of being an immigrant in the US? Yu Hong: Oh, that’s not an easy question to answer. There are so many things, really. I guess one of the most difficulties is that I don’t have any relatives here. I mean, I have a lot of friends. But that’s not the same thing. In China, on holidays or the weekend, we visit the relatives. It isn’t the same here. Reporter: And what do you miss the most from home? Yu Hong: Oh, that’s easy.

第1课 A: Do you have a date for the party yet? B: Actually, I don’t. Do you think you could help me find one? A: Hmm, what kind of guys do you like? B: Oh, I like guys who aren’t too serious and who have a good sense of humor. You know, like you. A: Ok, what else? B: Well, I’d prefer someone I have something in common with-who I can talk to easily. A: I think I know just the guy for you. Bob Branson. Do you know him? B: No, I don’t think so. A: Let me arrange for you to meet him, and you can tell me what you think. A: So, what’s the verdict? What did you think of Bob? B: Well, I was worried at first especially when I saw that he wears not one but two earrings. I thought he might turn out to be one of those guys who are into heavy rock music and stuff like that. You know what I mean? A: But he’s just a regular kind of guy, right? B: Yeah, we got along really well! A: I just knew you’d like him. B: Yeah, I do, and he’s really funny. He had me laughing hysterically during dinner. I think the people sitting next to us in the restaurant thought we were crazy. A: So, are you two going to get together again? B: Definitely, in fact, we’re going to a concert tomorrow night. A: That’s great. 第2课 1.Andrea A: So, have you seen Andrea lately? B: Yeah, I see her pretty often. We work together at a café latté. A: How’s she doing, I’ve been meaning to call her. B: Well, to be honest! I’ve always thought she’s a little difficult. But these days, I find her impossible. A: What do you mean? B: Oh, you know how she is. She has strong ideas about everything. And if you don’t agree with her, she lets you know what she thinks of you. A: Yes, that’s true. But that’s why we love her, right? B: Yeah, I guess so. But she’s changed a lot since she started college. She talked about herself all the time and she always manages to mention how good she is at everything she does. A: Hmm. Maybe I won’t call her after all. 2. James A: Are you going to James’s party on Saturday? B: Of course, James always gives the best parties. And there are always lots of interesting new people to meet. A: That’s true. I don’t know where he manages to find them all. B: Well, you know what he’s like. He makes friends really easily. He really likes talking to people, and he loves inviting people over. A: Ur – Ur, he invited me for dinner last Saturday, what a feast! B: Yeah, he’s a great cook too. A: After dinner I offered to help clean up, but he told me not to worry about it. He said he’d take care of it in the morning. He was like，it’s nothing, no b ig deal. B: Yup, that sounds like James. 3. Mr. Johnson A: Have you met the new apartment manager? B: Mr. Johnson? Hmm. Yeah, I met him last week. He’s… a little strange. A: Yeah, he is. I’m not sure I like him. He’s hard to predict. Sometimes he’s pret ty cheerful and talkative, and the next day he doesn’t even say hello. I think he must have personal problems or something. B: I think you’re right. And have you noticed that half the time when he says he’s going to do something, he never actually does it? He told me three times he’d come to fix the light in my kitchen, and he still hasn’t done it. 第3课 A: Hello? B: Hi. My name’s Jim Hunt. I’m calling about the ad for a roommate. A: Oh, right. B: Are you still looking for someone? A: Yes, we are. B: Oh, good. I’m really interested. A: Well, there are four of us, and it’s a fairly small house, so we want someone who’s easy to get along with. B: I’m pretty easygoing. A: Great! So can I ask you a few fairly straightforward questions about yourself? B: No problem. I like it when people are direct. A: What do you do, Jim? A: Oh, well, I’ve had a lot of different jobs, but I’m not working right now.

I really miss my mother’s cooking. 3 A: Hey, are these pictures of you when you were a kid? B: , that’s me in front of my uncle’s beach house. When I was a kid, we used to spend two weeks there every summer. A: Wow, I bet that was fun. B: , we always had a great time. Every day we used to get up early and walk along the beach. I had a great shell collection. In fact, I think it still up in the attic. A: Hey, I used to collect shells, too, when I was a kid. But my parents threw them out. A: You know what I remember most about growing up? B: What? A: V isiting my Grandparents’ house. You know, on holidays and stuff, they lived way out in the country and my Grandad had a horse named Blackie. He taught me how to ride. I just love that horse, and she loves me, too. I used to really enjoy spending time at my Grandparents’ house. And every time i came back, Blackie remembered me. B: Err, memories. 4 A: Why is there never a bus when you want one? B: Good question, there aren’t enough buses on this route. A: Sometimes I feel like writing a letter to the paper. B: Good idea, you should say that we need more subway lines, too. A: , there should be more public transportation in general. B: And fewer cars, there's too much traffic. A: Say, is that our bus coming? B: Yes, it is. But look, it's full. A: Oh, no. Let's go and get a cup of coffee. We can talk about this letter I'm going to write. B: So, are you really going to write a letter to the paper? A: Sure, I'm going to say something about the buses. They're too old. We need more modern buses, nice, air condition ones. B: And, they need to put more buses on the road. A: Right, there are too many cars downtown, and there isn't enough parking. B: That's for sure. It's impossible to find a parking space downtown these days. A: I think they should ban private cars downtown between 9 and 5.
