M：How does your sister go to university every day? Does she take a bus or underground or maybe the train?
W：Oh, she always walks—because she lives quite close.
（Text 2）
M：How was the weather for your hiking trip last Saturday?
W：It rained a little in the morning, but got sunny in the afternoon.
M：Did you have a lot of fun?
W：Sure.
（Text 3）
M：Lily, do you have the time?
W：Oh, my watch stopped again. And I just got a new battery.
M：Why don’t you take it to the clock shop? They can check it for you, and the price is pretty reasonable.
（Text 4）
M：We thought we’d all go out for lunch today. Would you like to go with us?
W：I have to pick up my car and mail a couple of letters, so I’ll just come straight to the restaurant.
M：All right. Can you be there at one o’clock?
（Text 5）
M：You are back. How was Kate’s party?
W：There were so many people there. I can’t believe the number of friends Kate has.
M：It’s really no surprise. She was extremely popular even when she was a child.
W：That’s true.

M：Excuse me, I’m a reporter from China Daily. I’d like to know what types of newspaper People often read. Would you mind answering a few questions?
W：No, not at all.
M：Can you tell me where you’re from, please?
W：Er, I was born in Japan and grew up in Italy.
M：Oh, sounds interesting. Are you used to living here, in New York city?
W：Very much so. I’ve been working in a college for three years.
M：Woo, a college teacher. And when do you normally read newspapers?
W：Well, I’m busy during the day, so usually after 8:00 o’clock at night.
M：Which sections do you prefer?
W：I’m mainly interested in the shopping. Other than that, I also like the news.

W：Do you have somewhere to stay in London, Peter?
M：No, I don’t. In fact, I was about to ask you if you could arrange some place for me to stay.
W：Yes, that’s no problem though I am not in charge of it. I’ll ask someone to arrange it for you. What kind of place were you considering?
M：Well, I don’t care if I share with other people, but I’m not good at housework. Maybe a home stay would be OK, but I don’t like young children, because they’re noisy and it’s difficult to study. Hopefully, I can live with a lady who has retired.
W：OK, that’s no problem. But I must warn you that living with a family in London is very expensive. Much more expensive than other small cities.
M：That’s not a big problem. I have some money saved. Besides, I can always get a part-time job. I’m working in a supermarket as a cashier now. So I don’t think I will have trouble with money.
W：Sounds good. I’ll call you if I get some information about that.
M：OK, that’s great. Thank you very much.
W：You are welcome.

M/W：Let’s take a walk around the Entertainment Building now. The first room we’re coming to is the theater. This room screens videos of special interest and is also used for lecture. Today there’s continuous video showing about the people who are teaching in the university, so anyone who’d like to learn more about the life for those people living and working in the university will find that interesting.
Now we’re coming to the Picture Gallery. This shows life in the university over the last 100 years and all the various changes, which happened with the growth of the university. There are paintings and photos, all done by local artists. Some of them now are famous. It’s a great collection and people think highly of it.
Well, I’m going to leave you now to walk around the museum on your own for a while. We’ll meet back at the entrance in an hour and a half. I hope you can enjoy your time in the university today. Thank you.

M：And now here’s our guest, Jane Thomas, to tell us about Montreal’s famous yearly Island Bicycle tour, which is coming up in June. Good evening, Jane. What’s the bike tour all about?
W：Well, Peter, it’s an event that’s open to anybody who’d like to ride a bicycle through the streets of Montreal. The tour covers a standard distance of 65 kilometers, but the route’s quite different every year, so even people who have already done it might enjoy doing it again.
M：How long does it take to go the whole distance?
W：It varies... Cyclists are free to go as fast or as slow and do as much or as little of the course as they like.
M：Well, what’s the typical pace for a cyclist?
W：Between 12 and 30 kilometers per hour. Some cyclists stop along the way and don’t cross the finish line until early evening. But the whole point is that there’s no rush—it’s not a real race, in fact.
M：Well, do you have any tips for our cyclists?
W：Yes. Take water with you. It is provided at the relay stations, but it helps to have an additional supply. And pack a good lunch with plenty of fruit for energy. Candy and chocolate don’t do the trick.

M：Cindy! Have you heard the news?
W：No, Steve. What do you mean?
M：You know all the classes we’ve missed because of the snow? We’re going to have to make them up and it will have to be during spring break.
W：Oh, no! We have our vacation all set! What are we going to do? Do the others know that?
M：I don’t know but I certainly can’t afford to miss five days of classes this term.
W：But I really don’t want to cancel our trip. All of us have already made our plane reservations!
M：I can try to call the travel agency; maybe they can return our money. But before we do anything we need to speak with our professors.
W：You think they’ll excuse us from class?
M：I don’t know. But I think we’re going to have to speak to all of them anyway.
W：Why didn’t they add extra days at the end of the term before summer classes?
M：Because of the graduation date, which can’t be changed.
W：Are other colleges around here doing the same thing?
M：I would imagine so—it’s been such a bad winter and we’ve missed too many classes. We really do need to make them up.
W：I know, I know. I was just really looking forward to this vacation. The idea of the sun and the beach!
M：Oh look, there’s Professor Hampton right now!
W：Come on, let’s go talk to him.
