W: Have you finished the report?

M: Don’t mention it. I haven’t even started writing it.

M: ⑥I’ve been reading all the information I need to write it. But the more I read, the more I want to know.

W: What are you reading?

M: What’s wrong with the bus? I have waited nearly an hour.

W: So have I. It’s so cold. The weatherman said it’s going to snow, around 5 to 7 inches. M: ⑧So what? Last night the weather report said the snow would last only one hour, but actually it snowed about three hours.

W: I agree with you. Anyway, the weather changes so much. If it snows today, I’ll stay at home tomorrow.

M: Oh, you’re so lucky. I have to work as usual. I just work in the white building over there. W: Really? We work in the same building.

M: It sounds good! ⑨Why don’t we have a drink in the coffee shop while waiting for the bus? W: Good idea.

W: Excuse me. Can you tell me if there is a gas station around here?

M: OK. ?Just go straight until you see the first traffic lights up there. Take a left turn, and go down one block. You’ll see the gas station near a post office. W: OK. I should be able to make it. Text 9

W: Dad, look at this friendship quiz.

M: Why don’t you try it? The first question. How often do you get in touch with your friends? W: Hmm... my friends aren’t in the same secondary school as me. And I dislike ringing people up. I don’t call my friends even once a week.

M: ?That means seldom. Secondly, how many friends can you talk with when you are upset? W: Oh, I can’t think of any. ?I usually talk with you or mom when I feel sad.

M: Poor Susan! You can’t rely on us all the time. The last question. Your friend wants to talk with you. Where would you have the talk?

W: Well, we can’t talk in the classroom. Maybe ?I would talk to her in a shopping center. We can talk and shop at the same time.

M: Oh, Susan, you’ve only got 8! ?I think you should get along with your friends. Why not call or visit them often? W: You’re right, Dad! Text 10

I would like to share story between my mother and me. When I was eight years old, I wanted to buy my mom something nice for birthday, but I didn’t have any money. ?I collected empty Cola bottles and trade them for a penny each at the corner shop. Later, I could afford a birthday card and a candy bar. ?I put the candy in my pants pocket, tucked the card under my shirt and ran home. ?By then it was getting dark. As I rounded the corner near our house, I saw mom looking for me. I could tell she was worried and angry. “Where were you?” she shouted. I explained, “I was out collecting bottles to get money for your birthday present.” I reached into my shirt and gave her the unsigned card and the candy bar. Her anger disappeared. She reached out to hug me. As she held

me tight and buried her face in my hair, I heard her sobbing.
