M: Sarah, we’re going swimming at the lake tomorrow. Can you meet us there at 11:00 a.m.?

W: It smells terrible! I think Lily’s cat played here again.
M: No, it’s not her cat. Our dog played on the couch before I took him for a walk in the park. I’ll give him a bath
tonight.

W: If we stay for the second half of the play, we’ll miss the last train home at 9:30 p.m.
M: Hmm, it’s 8:30 p.m. now. How about this: we stay until the end and catch the 9:50 bus home instead?

M: Look at this. The woman in the painting looks exactly like the girl I went to
school with.

M: Hello, this package was delivered to my house by mistake.
W: Oh, thanks, Bill. I don’t know how it went to your house. It clearly says number four, not number six.
M: Well, the delivery men have a tough job. Maybe they get confused sometimes.

M: Beachcomber Hotel looks quite small, but the website says that there are tasty local dishes. I can’t wait to have
a try.
W: I agree. It is good, but this larger hotel has better entertainment and it’s closer to the main town. We wouldn’t need
to hire a car.
M: That’s true. But the bigger hotel is more expensive, and the reviews say that the bedrooms aren’t as nice as they
are described on the website.W: My friends Liz and David stayed at the Beachcomber Hotel last weekend. I’ll ask
them if they recommend it.

M: What brings you in today?
W: As you know, I have pretty high blood pressure, so I’ve been trying to stay away from salt, but my blood pressure
isn’t going down.
M: Well, new research shows that a low-salt diet may actually increase your risk of heart disease, surprisingly. Right
now, you can safely eat around 2.3 grams of salt a day, which is about one teaspoon of salt, but another new study
has shown that people who ate more than 7 grams of salt did not increase their risk of heart disease.
W: OK. So, what does all that mean?
M: Well, you shouldn’t necessarily go out and eat a bunch of salty food. It just means that salt is not as harmful as
we originally thought.

M: I’m going to New York this week. What do you suggest I do there?
W: The New York Botanical Garden is offering wine tasting and live music on Saturday and Sunday. There are also
around 150,000 flowers. It’s supposed to be beautiful. And there’s a classic ballet going on at the David H. Koch
Theater.
M: Sounds good. What about nightlife? I have Saturday night free.
W: You can always see a jazz show at Smalls Jazz Club. Littlefield in Brooklyn is hosting a show to honor a late
singer. There will be live performances and music.
M: That sounds fun. I’ll definitely go to that. What do you usually do on weekends?
学科网（北京）股份有限公司W: I don’t normally go out, actually. I love staying home with a glass of juice and watching movies. It makes me feel
relaxed. I’d like to see you when you get here, though.M: I’ll be arriving on Wednesday morning. Do you want to
grab dinner that night? W: I have a class on Wednesday night, but the next day works for me.
M: All right.

M: I can’t wait to see this film. It’s supposed to be the most exciting movie this year. I read the book that the film was
based on ages ago. It was brilliant. I hope the film is as good!
W: I tend to find that books are better than films. Anyway, I hope it’s not too scary. I’m not really a fan of horror
movies. Funny movies are my cup of tea. Do you remember that I got scared on the ghost train at the fair last summer?
And it was supposed to be for kids!
M: I’d almost forgotten about that. You had your eyes closed the whole time. Anyway, Michael and Beth went to see
it last weekend. Beth doesn’t like horror films either, but Michael said that he really enjoyed it.
W: Maybe you and Michael should have gone to see the film together, and Beth and I could have bought tickets for
a different movie altogether — one that isn’t scary at all.
M: Hopefully, you’ll be fine. I’ll tell you what — if you find it too scary, we’ll leave early and grab a bite to eat at
the Mexican restaurant across the road instead. Does that sound okay?
W: Okay, it’s a deal. And if we watch the whole film, we could get a takeout. I already fancy some enchiladas!
