2、ed here eight years ago when I was in high school. And where did you learn the rollerblade? Here in the park. This is only my second time. Well, its my first time. Can you give me some lessons? Sure. Just follow me. By the way, my name is Ted. And Im Ana. Nice to meet you.2.Ted: Hey, hey! That was f

Oh, so youre a computer specialist. Well, sort of. Yeah, I guess so. Thats great. Then maybe you can give me some hel
4、p with a computer course Im taking. Oh, sure.But only if you promise to give me some more rollerblading lessons. Its a deal!(2)1.Interviewer: Where are you from originally, Yu Hong?Yu Hong:m from China.from near Shanghai.Interviewer: And when did you move here? I came here after I graduated from col
5、lege. That was in 1992. And what do you do now?m a transportation engineer. I see. So you re an immigrant to the United States? Yes, thats right. What are some of the difficulties of being an immigrant in the U.S.? Oh, Thats not an easy question to answer. There are so many things really. I guess on
6、e of the biggest difficulties is that I dont have any relatives here. I mean, I have a lot of friends, but thats not the same thing. In China, on the holidays or the weekend, we visit relatives. It isnt the same here. And what do you miss the most from home? Oh, thats easy, my moms soup! She makes g
7、reat soup. I really miss my mothers cooking.(3) 1.A: Hey! Are these pictures of you when you were a kid?B: Yeah! Thats me in front of my uncles beach house. When I was a kid, we used to spend two weeks there every summer. A: Wow, I bet that was fun! Yeah. We always had a great time. Every day we use
8、d to get up early and walk along the beach. I have a great shell collection. In fact, I think its still up in the attic! Hey, I used to collect shells, too, when I was a kid. But my parents threw them out!2.A: You know what I remember most about growing up? What? Visiting my grandparents house you k
9、now, on holidays and stuff. They lived way out in the country, and my granddad had a horse named Blackie. He taught me how to ride. I just love that horse-and she loved me, too! I used to really enjoy spending time at my grandparents house. And every time I came back, Blackie remembered me. Ah, memo
10、ries!(4) Why is there never a bus when you want one? Good question. There arent enough buses on this route. Sometimes I feel like writing a letter to the paper. Good idea. You should say that we need more subway lines, too. Yeah. There should be more public transportation in general. And fewer cars!
11、 Theres too much traffic. Say, is that our bus coming? Yes, it is. But look. Its full! Oh, no! Lets go and get a cup of coffee. We can talk about this letter Im going to write. So you are really going to write a letter to the paper? Sure. Im going to say something about the buses. Theyre too old. We
12、 need more modern buses nice air-conditioned ones. And they need to put more buses on the road. Right. And there are too many cars downtown, and there isnt enough parking. Thats for sure. Its impossible to find a parking space downtown these days. I think they should ban private cars downtown betwee
13、n nine and five. Oh, you mean they shouldnt allow any cars except taxis and buses during the regular workday. Hmm that sounds like a really good idea.(5)1.Quite a number of things have been done to help solve traffic problems in Singapore. For example, motorists must buy a special pass if they want
14、to drive into the downtown business district. They can go into the business district only if they have the pass displayed on their windshield.Another thing Singapore has done is to make it more difficult to buy cars. People have to apply for a certificate if they want to buy a car. And the number of
15、 certificates is limited. Not everyone can get one.There is also a high tax on cars, so it costs three or four times as much to buy a car in Singapore as it does in, say, the United States or Canada.The other thing Singapore has done is to build an excellent pubic transportation system. Their subway
16、 system is one of the best in the world. And there is also a very good taxi and bus system.(6) Excuse me. Could you tell me where the bank is? Theres one upstairs, across from the duty-free shop. Oh, thanks. Do you know what time it opens? It should be open now. It opens at 8:00A.M. Good. And can yo
17、u tell me how often the buses leave for the city? You need to check at the transportation counter. Its right down the hall. OK. And just one more thing. Do you know where the nearest restroom is? Right behind you, maam. See that sign? Oh. Thanks a lot. Excuse me. Its me again. Im sorry. I need some
18、more informationif you dont mind. Not at all. Thanks. Do you know how much a taxi costs to the city? Well, it depends on the traffic, of course. But it usually costs about forty dollars. Forty dollars? I guess Ill take the bus. That means I have almost an hour till the next one. Where could I find a
19、n inexpensive restaurant in the airport? Maybe a fast-food place? Go upstairs and turn right. Youll see the snack bar on your left. Thanks very much. Have a nice day. You, too.(7) What do you think? Well, it has just as many bedrooms as the last apartment. And the living room is huge.C: But the bedr
20、ooms are too small. And there isnt enough closet space for my clothes. And its not as cheap as the last apartment we saw. But that apartment was dark and dingy. And it was in a dangerous neighborhood. Lets see if the real estate agent has something else to show us. Well, um,how do you like this spac
21、e, then? Oh, its much better than that other one. The thing I like best is the bedrooms. They are too huge! Yes, they are nice and big. And there are two bathrooms! I could have my own bathroom! Yes, I guess you could. The only problem is the color of the living room. I really dont like those dark g
22、reen walls. Oh, Im sure we can change the color if we want to.3.A: Creative Rentals. Good morning. Hello. Im calling about the apartment you have for rent. Yes. What can I tell you about it? Where is it, exactly? Its on King Street, just off the freeway. Oh, near the freeway. Can you hear the traffi
23、c? Yes, Im afraid you do hear some. But the apartment has lots of space. It has three bedrooms and a very large living room I see. And is it in a new building? Well, the building is about fifty years old. Uh-huh. Well, Ill think about it. OK. Thanks for calling. Thank you. Bye(8) Hello Hello. Is the
24、 apartment youre advertising still available? Yes, it is. Can you tell me a little about it? Well, its a perfect apartment for one person. Its one room with a kitchen at one end. I see. And is it far away from the subway? Theres a subway station just down the street. Actually, the apartment is locat
25、ed right downtown, so you step out of the building and there are stores and restaurants everywhere. But its on a high floor, so you dont hear any street or traffic noise. It sounds like just the kind of place Im looking for. Id like to come see it, please. Sure. Let me give you the address.Town and
26、city rentals.How can I help you?Hi! Um,Is that apartment you advertised still available?Yes, it is.Oh, good. Um, listen,I,I cant pay too much. So the low prise you asking isis really good for me.Great.B;And how big is it?Its two rooms plus the kichen and bathroom.Well, is it a safe place to live?Wel
27、l,I can tell you Ive lived here for five years and I never heard about anybody having a problem.Oh, thats good. Uh, let see, oh yeah, does the apartment have a lot of windows?Windows, yes, there are plenty of windows, but unfortunately,there isn much light really. See, theres another building right
28、next to ours.Oh,thats OK. Im never around in the day anyway. Do you think its alright if I come and look at it?Anytime.When you wanna see it.(9) So where are you working now, Terry? Oh, Im still at the bank. I dont like it, though. Thats too bad. Why not? Well, its boring, and it doesnt pay very wel
29、l. I know what you mean. I dont like my job either. I wish I could find a better job. Actually, I dont want to work at all anymore. I wish I had a lot of money so I could retire now. Hmm, how old are you, Terry? Uh, twenty-six. So how are things going with you and Susie, Terry? Oh, you didnt know? She and I broke up a couple of months ago. We decided we needed a break from each other for a while. But I miss her a lot. I wish we could get back together again. Im sure you will.
