M: Oh yeah. I can’t find my umbrella. Can you buy one?
W: Shouldn’t it be in the cupboard?
M: I just checked. It wasn’t there.
W: Impossible. That was where I usually put it. Did you check the balcony?

M: Hi Lucy! How was your weekend?
W: Great! You know, we went mountain climbing in the Forest Park. The air was so
different from the city. Cool and fresh.
M: Sounds great.
W: Yeah. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky. And we could see for miles from the top.
What about you? What did you do?
M: Busy packing.
W: Oh yes of course. I forgot you and Jenny are moving into a new house. It’s on
Wednesday, isn’t it?
M: Yeah. Two days after. I didn’t realize there’re so many things to do.
W: Can I help out with anything?
M: Umm…it’d be nice if you could take care of Henry for a couple of days.
W: Henry?
M: Yes. My dog.
W: Oh sure! No problem. You just focus on the move.

Hello, everybody. Today I'd like to share with you something about John
Audubon. John was born on April 26th,1785. He spent much of his childhood in
France where he spent many hours each day outdoors painting pictures. At the age of
18, he moved to the United States. Well, actually, John began his life in the US as a
businessman. However, instead of taking care of his business, John was often off
exploring nature. At first, John spent his time hunting for fun. Then he found that the
animals around were very beautiful, and he particularly enjoyed observing the birds
he saw. He began studying them, trying to learn the differences between the birds and
noticing their different behaviors. Therefore, he painted the birds he observed a lot. In
1819, John realized that he didn't have enough money to pay his bills. He was very
upset that he couldn't earn enough money to support his family. So he spent time
improving his painting skills and began to sell his paintings. He discovered that he
could earn some money while doing something he really enjoyed. We are lucky now
to have so many paintings of American birds by John Audubon.
