Gucci: What did the boss say?
May: He asked me if I'd like to be a newspaper salesperson?
Gucci: You are still student so I don't think you should have time for that.
May: Don't worry about that. He said I can do that at spare time. Anyway, it's just a part-time job.
Gucci: Okay, then. What kind of newspaper he wants you to sell?
May: It's a weekly newspaper named “Olympic English”. So I need to be here only on Sunday.
Gucci: Sounds interesting. Especially that we are Olympic Volunteers.
May: That's exactly what I am thinking about, And also it's a good way to get social experiences.
Gucci: And a good way to get some pocket money.
May: Let's do it together.
Gucci: I'll say yes. Wait a minute. I need an IC card.
May: For what? You have a telephone at home, don't you?
Gucci: Yes, but I don't want my Mom to tap my phone when I call Clive.
聽看學(xué)
古奇：老板說什么？
阿美：他問我愿不愿意做報(bào)紙促銷員？
古奇：你還是學(xué)生怎么會有時(shí)間做這個(gè)。
阿美：這個(gè)倒不用擔(dān)心。他說我可以用空余時(shí)間做。不管怎樣，只是個(gè)兼職啊。
古奇：那挺好的。他想讓你賣什么樣的報(bào)紙呢？
阿美：是一份叫《奧運(yùn)英語》的周刊。所以我只需要每個(gè)周日來這里就可以了。
古奇：聽起來很有趣。尤其是我們還是奧運(yùn)志愿者。
阿美：我也是這么想的。這也是增長社會經(jīng)驗(yàn)的好方法。
古奇：同時(shí)也是掙點(diǎn)零花錢的好方法。
阿美：那讓我們一起做吧。
古奇：我同意啊。等一下，我要買一張IC卡。
阿美：為什么？你們家有電話機(jī)，不是嗎？
古奇：是的，但是我給克萊夫打電話的時(shí)候我不想讓我媽媽偷聽啊。
經(jīng)典背誦 Recitation
Gucci: My mom taps my phone when I call my boyfriend which makes me upset. So I've decided to use the IC card. It's convenient, cheap and also safe. You can buy them everywhere, even at the newsstands. It's funny that I got a part-time job last time when I was buying an IC card.
