and the children are small.
M:That’s right.Jane and I have been talking about visiting you.So when I saw you in the garden,I decided to come over and say hello.
W:I’m glad you did.In fact,I should have called on you first,since you have newly moved here.
M:By the way,do you need anything from the store?
W:No,but thanks for the offer.And thank you for coming over. M:It’s a pleasure. (Text 7)
W:How can I help you?
M:I’d like to return this sweater.I bought it a week ago. W:Well,first of all,what seems to be the problem?
M:Well,isn’t it obvious by just looking at it? The first time I washed and dried it,the thing shrank at least five sizes.
W:Uh,I see what you mean,but did you follow the washing instructions?
M: How was I supposed to know that? The label is written in Spanish! And the color faded from a nice dark blue to a light green.
W:Sir,we take a lot of pride in our clothing. What I can do is allow you to exchange the sweater for another one. M:But I just want my money back!
W:Sorry.Since the item you bought was on clearance,we can’t give back your money. M:A clearance item! Was I supposed to know that?
W:I guess you didn’t read the fine print in our ad.Look. Here’s the ad,and the information about the clearance sale is right here.
M:OK.I’ll exchange it for another one.But you should give credit for your goods next time. (Text 8)
W:Why weren’t you at the German class last night,Tom?Have you given up?
M:Well,no...I came back late yesterday and found John sleeping in the chair.He’d been writing a report all day long and he was too tired to go out again,so we gave
the lesson a miss.
W:You’ve missed quite a lot of lessons lately,haven’t you?Are you losing interest? M:Yes,I’m afraid so.Neither John nor I have a gift for language.People just laugh at us when we attempt to speak German.How did you and Jane pick it up so quickly and easily?You’ve hardly been in Germany a month.
W:It was neither quick nor easy.We’d both studied the language before we came,and we only needed to revise it.
M:Anyway,all our friends here speak English very well,so we don’t really need to learn German. (Text 9)
W:Did you go out today?
M:With my bad luck?What good would it have done if I’d gone out? W:If you’d looked for a job,you might have found one.
M:But I’ve been looking for one over a year.Today wouldn’t have been any different. W:I know how bad you feel,but if you don’t keep on looking,you’ll never get a job. M：If I’d stayed in Puerto Rico in the first place, I wouldn’t have had so much trouble.
W:What would you have done?There are more people out of work there than there are here.
M:I could have had a farm of my own if I’d stayed there. W:You?Up the mountains,with nobody to talk to,but the children?
M:I don’t like the city.There are too many people.There’s too much noise,too much dust.
W:I like here.
M:Yes,because your brother’s here.This is really your home.
W:Well,maybe we should go to Puerto Rico for a visit anyway.You could see AndisNanco. M:You really mean that?I’d like to see the island again and feel the sunshine and here everyone’s speaking Spanish. (Text 10)

Dear editor,
I am a senior student. I’m writing to tell you my opinion about whether students ought to be allowed to watch TV after school. I think it is right for us to watch TV after school.
On TV there are many interesting programmes, such TV plays, films and sports. By watching them, we can enrich our knowledge and enlarge our views, which we can’t learn in class. My English is not very good. I think watching TV is a good way to improve my English, especially spoken English.
Besides, why shouldn’t we relax ourselves and have a good rest at home since we have so much work to do at school? Do you agree with me?
Yours sincerely, Liu Qiang
Possible version2:
Dear editor,
I am a senior student. I’m writing to tell you my opinion about whether students ought to be allowed to watch TV after school. I don’t think it is right for us to watch TV after school.
In my opinion, watching TV is just a waste of time. We are students so we have a lot of homework to do. If we spend much time on TV, how can we finish our homework? Besides, we’ll get short-sighted if we spend too much time on TV every day. What’s more, I don’t think all the TV programmes are instructive. If we often watch them, we’ll form some bad habits. That’s very dangerous to us!
Do you agree with me?
Yours sincerely,
Liu Qiang
