Lesson 1 A private conversation 私人谈话

Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very

interesting. But I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting

behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. Because I could not hear the

actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not

pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. 'I can't hear

a word!' I said angrily. ‘It’s none of your business,' the young man said rudely.

'This is a private conversation!'.

Lesson 2 Breakfast or lunch? 早餐还是午餐？

It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until

lunch time.

Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside.

'What a day!' I thought. 'It's raining again.' Just then, the telephone rang. It

was my aunt Lucy.' I've just arrived by train,' she said. 'I'm coming to see you.' 'But

I'm still having breakfast,' I said.

'What are you doing?' she asked. ‘I’m having breakfast,' I repeated.

'Dear me,' she said. 'Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!''

Lesson 3 Please send me a card 请给我寄一张明信片

Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to Italy. I visited

museums and sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter taught me a few words

of Italian. 'Then he lent me a book. I read a few lines, but I did not understand a

word. Every day I thought about postcards. My holidays passed quickly, but I did

not send any cards to my friends. On the last day I made a big decision. I got up

early and bought thirty-seven cards. I spent the whole day in my room, but I did

not write a single card!

Lesson 4 An exciting trip 激动人心的旅行

I have just received a letter from my brother, Tim. He is in Australia. He has

been there for six months. Tim is an engineer. He is working for a big firm and he

has already visited a great number of different places in Australia. He has just

bought an Australian car and has gone to Alice Springs, a small town in the centre

of Australia. He will soon visit Darwin. From there, he will fly to Perth. My brother

has never been abroad before, so he is finding this trip very exciting.

Lesson 5 No wrong numbers 无错号之虞

Mr. James Scott has a garage in Silbury and now he has just bought another

garage in Pinhurst. Pinhurst is only five miles from Silbury, but Mr. Scott cannot get

a telephone for his new garage, so he has just bought twelve pigeons. Yesterday, a

pigeon carried the first message from Pinhurst to Silbury. The bird covered the

distance in three minutes. Up to now, Mr. Scott has sent a great many requests for

spare parts and other urgent messages from one garage to the other. In this way,
