Conversation Two
M: Hi, Betty, it's nice to see you here. Thank god the final examination is over, and we don't have to stay up all night to cram all the academic stuff into our minds.
W: Yes. That's true. (5) And now we can look forward to the summer holiday. I've been thinking of going to the United States for some time.
M: Well, I think it would be much better for you to go on holiday here in England than to the U.S. (6) To start with, it's much nearer, and so it would be much cheaper to get around. That means you will have far more money to buy things you like.
W: That may be true. But I still want to go the U.S. (7) Just thinking about when you get there, there are so many different things to see, and places to go. Imagine you could go to New York, San Francisco, the Grand Canyon, and Disney World! That's really cool.
M: Exactly! Disney World! I have been dreaming of going there ever since my childhood.
W: So, you are gonna change your mind, aren't you?
M: No, I'm kind of still worrying about the cost of taking a trip to the U.S. That's a lot of money. Meanwhile, if you stay here in England, you can probably take up some part-time jobs. Then you can even earn some extra money to support your study next semester.
W: Yeah, maybe you are right. (8) I'll think it over, and talk about it with my parents while I'm home. After all, it is they who pay for my study here in the university.
5. What are the two speakers talking about?
6. Why does the man advise the woman to spend her holiday in England?
7. Why does the woman want to spend her summer holiday in the U.S.?
8. What does the woman decide to do at last?
对话二
男:嗨,贝蒂,在这里见到你很高兴
女:嗯,对啊 。现在可以期待暑假的到来了 。我在想要去美国待一段时间 。
男:嗯,我觉得你待在英格兰度假比去美国要好 。首先,这里更近,四处逛逛会便宜很多 。那样你就能有更多钱去买你喜欢的东西了 。
女:有道理 。不过我还是想去美国 。想想你到那儿以后,那里有很多不同的东西可看,更多的地方可去 。想象一下,你可以去包括纽约、旧金山、大峡谷和迪士尼乐园!太棒了 。
男:是的!迪士尼乐园!我从小时候就一直梦想能去那里 。
女:那么,你改变想法了,对吗?
男:不,我还是会担心去美国的费用 。那是一大笔钱 。而且,如果你待在英格兰,或许还能做一些兼职 。这样你还能攒下个学期的学费 。
女:是啊,或许你是对的 。我会好好考虑一下,在回家后和父母讨论一下 。毕竟是父母为自己支付上大学的费用 。
