my son, Jim.
W: He is not in
trouble, I hope. He is doing well in all his lessons. He is not lazy. He will
do very well in the exams.
M: Except
Chinese, I am afraid. I know that he is doing his best, but he says he is a
little weak in Chinese.
W: Is he? I am
sorry to hear that.
M: That is why I
have come to see you. You see, we have been here in China for over two years
now, so we are travelling back to
England soon for a holiday.
W: Really? Where
will you stay in England----the capital?
M: Yes, London.
The whole family is going for two months.
W:I am afraid
that Jim will miss a lot of his lessons.
M:I know I can
help him with most of his subjects, but I'm worried about his Chinese. He may
fall behind the other students when he comes back.
W: It is possible.
Two months is quite a long time. But of course, he can learn by himself. He has
a book and a dictionary.
M:I know, but
even that is not enough. I think that maybe his Chinese teacher will give Jim
some work to do during the holiday.
W: Yea, that's
possible. I will ask Mrs. Hu. I'm sure that she won't
mind. We may talk again next week.

All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great
ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping,
for that was what the notice inside the entrance said:“Remember, once a week, one of our
customers gets free food. This may be your lucky day!”
For several weeks Mrs Edwards hoped to be
the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hope. The cupboards
in her kitchen were full of things which she did not need. She dreamed of the
day when the manager of the supermarket would come over to her and say:“Madam, this is your lucky day. The
things in you basket are free.”
One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had
taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy some tea.She dashed back to the supermarket，got the tea and went towards the
cash desk. As she did so,she saw the manager of the
supermarket approach her.“Madam”, he said“I want to congratulate you! You are
our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”
