【原文】M: So Marie, your kitchen garden looks excellent. What made you turn to social media
to record your vegetable growing?
W: Initially, I used the online platform as a diary, something to look back on, giving me a sense of
achievements and keeping me motivated and moving forward. As time went by, other gardeners
and like-minded people began to follow my progress, too.
M: I know you grow lots of fruit on your land. Which would you recommend to beginners as the
best to grow?
W: Strawberries would be a good choice. They produce a lot of fruit in their first season.
M: That's cool. Well, do you have plans to try new or any particular crops next year?
W: Next season I will be adding some pear trees to the fruit area. I will be adding more herbs
which I can use in the kitchen. After a couple of years of failure, I will try growing carrots again.
M: What advice would you offer someone thinkingof doing kitchen gardening?
W: Have a plan of what you want your kitchen garden to look like. Don't be too discouraged if
things don't go according to plan. Learn from your mistakes and move on. There's always next
season.

【原文】W: Did you win your match last night, Andy?
M: Yes. I'm much better since I started having tennis lessons with the excellent player, Paul. I've
learnt a lot from him and improved a lot.
W: How often do you have lessons?
M: Every Wednesday because the only other day he teaches is Friday and I can't go then. You like
tennis. Why don't you come too, Rosie?
W: Hmm. How much are the lessons? That's the first question my parents will ask!
M: I give Paul twelve pounds and he teaches me for an hour. It's not expensive.
W: No. Maria pays eighteen pounds an hour.
M: But she goes to the tennis club. Paul works at the tennis courts in Gerald Street.
W: How do you spell that?
M: G-E-R-A-L-D.W: OK. And what time's your lesson? Can I come and meet Paul next time?
M: Yes. I start at six fifteen and play until a quarter past seven. You can come at the same time.
W: OK. What should I wear?
M: You don't need to wear a tennis dress. Shorts and a T-shirt will be fine.
W: All right. See you then.

【原文】M: Have you ever visited a redwood forest?
W: No. I’ve never seen a redwood tree.
M: I recently had the chance to go to Muir Woods National Monument,12 miles north of San
Francisco.
W: What’s it? A redwood forest?
M: It is part of the National Park Service. It protects 559 acres, of which 240 acres are old growth
Coast Redwood forests.
W: Wow, sounds great! Are the redwood trees there tall?
M: Yes. The coastal redwood trees are the tallest living things. Some are more than three hundred
and fifty feet high. But none of the trees at Muir Woods is that high.
W: I’ve heard that many redwood trees are thousands of years old. Are the trees in Muir Woods
that old?
M: The oldest coastal redwood tree on record is more than a thousand years. The trees in Muir
Woods are 400 to 800 years old.
W: What kind of climate do redwood trees like?
M: They like a wet, foggy climate.
W: No wonder the trees in Muir Woods have survived hundreds of years. They’re near foggy San
Francisco.
M: Yes. that’s probably why.
W: I am now quite curious about the redwood trees. I hope I can visit Muir Woods National
Monument some day.

【原文】M: Look at Tina. Why does she look so down today?W: She asked her father for a cell phone, but her father didn’t want to buy one for her.
M: Why?
W: He was afraid she’d spend too much time on it. You know, many kids play games on cell
phones nowadays.
M: I agree. So do you think Tina should get a cell phone?
W: I don’t think so. She’s just ten years old now. She should read books and play outdoors instead
of playing on a cell phone.
M: I think you’re right. So do you have a cell phone?
W: Yes. I’m six years older than Tina after all.
M: So do you often use it?
W: No. I just use it to make phone calls. I’m too busy with my study. What about you?
M: I have a cell phone, too. But I usually listen to music on it. Sometimes I also watch movies on
it.

M: I hope so, too. You know, When we were considering whether to buy the house, Mr. Johnson,
the housing agent, told us that jogging was very popular here. I am a big fan of jogging. I used to
go jogging every day in my old neighborhood.
W: Ah yes. Many people here love to jog. I go jogging twice a week.
M: Can you tell me a good place to go jogging near here?
W: Sure! The long coast path along the beach is a perfect place for jogging.
M: Coast path sounds nice! Is it far from here? Can I walk there?
W: Yes, it’s only a five-minute ride from here.
M: Oh,I see. Anything in particular I should know about jogging there?
W: Hmm... Yeah, just be sure to wear sunglasses there. The sun light there is very bright, and it
can be hard on your eyes.
M: Thanks for the advice! So are there any other activities to do there on the beach?
W: Oh, yes. Beach volleyball is also very popular, a lot of people play there on the beach.
M: Wow, that’s wonderful. It looks like we are going to have a lot of fun here in the neighborhood.W: Yes, I’m sure you will.

W: Well, I have a new project I thought you might be interested in. I’m setting up a writer’s group,
you know, a support group for people who are trying to get published.
M: Well, how would it work?
W: We get together once a week. I’ve already arranged for a meeting room in the library. We share
what we are working on and offer each other some advice.
M: Sounds great. I could use some advice. I’m working on a short story that I’d like to get
published in the Campus Literature Review. You’ve done that, haven’t you? I read a poem of
yours in the last issue.
W: Yes, I was so excited to finally see my work in print. It was presented three times. You just
have to keep trying if they turn you down.
M: Well, I’m sure the group can help me, but I don’t know how much I can contribute. I’m just
starting out.
W: That’s OK. I know from your teacher’s comments that you will be a valuable member. We will
get someone experienced to help us, too.

M: Well, what’s on?
W: Well, hmm. There is a reality show on at 7: 00 on channel 5.
M: Nah, you know I don’t like reality shows. I mean, they usually show people doing crazy things
like, you know, eating live fish or swimming in a pool full of snakes. I don’t get into that.
W: Okay. Well, how about watching a documentary on the life of pandas in the wild?
M: Personally, I’d rather watch something with a little bit more action.
W: Well, then. Ah, here’s something. Do you want to watch a rerun of Star Wars?M: Nah, I’ve seen it a zillion times.
W: Okay, let’s see here. Oh, how about this? On channel 2 at 9: 00, there’s a home improvement
show about fixing anything around the house. We do have a few things that you could repair in the
bathroom. . .

【原文】W: Jacob, your flowers aren’t growing very well.
M: Yeah. That’s why I called you here, Amy. I just started to learn to grow flowers recently and I
don’t know what’s wrong with them. They are becoming less and less energetic.
W: Let me see... There’s too much water in the flowerpot. How often do you water them?
M: I’m afraid they lack water in the hot sun, so I water them at noon every day.
W: Oh, that’s it. Jacob, listen, every two days or three days is enough. Flowers don’t need to be
watered too often and too much watering can be damaging, which can cause the flowers to even
die.
M: Oh, I never realize it. Luckily, the flowers look good.
W: Besides, it is also not advisable to water flowers at noon, especially in summer, as it can make
their leaves turn yellow, just like yours. Well, I think I have to tell you more tips on how to grow
flowers.
M: Yes. It’s much more convenient than learning from books.

【原文】M: Laura, why did you decide to tum your interest into a career as a professional poet?
W: I had some classes in journalism with a well-known reporter. She suggested that I enter a
poetry competition. Two months later, I found out I’d come first. That was when I knew I wanted
to do this full-time.
M: What’s your new book about?
W: I focus on connections with the people I’m close to. I actually started out with the idea of
writing about global warming and the environment, which is very different from what I produced
in the end.
M: Do you read poetry written a long time ago?
W: Yes, I do. It is very different from modern poetry. But, you soon notice how carefully the
poems were put together. I think they took more skills to write than many modern ones do.
M: And what are your plans for the future?
W: Well, there’s a poetry festival soon, and the organizers have asked me to read my work at it.
I’m hoping to turn some of my work into songs. I will continue writing because new poems come
into my head all the time.
