W: Did you know that? They are planning to build a waste recycling plant in our village!
M: What? That’s unacceptable! I am going to file a complaint to the committee!
M: Jane, wait a second. I’m going with you.
W: Okay. I’m going to Professor Wang’s calligraphy class.
M: I know. It’s in the chemistry building, right? My biology class is in the same building.
M: Excuse me, could you please spare me some time? I’m doing a quick survey on the quality of our products and services.
W: Sorry, I’m in a hurry. I’m supposed to be in class at 9:00 and I’m already ten minutes late now.
W: Jim, what is the speed of our car now?
M: 80 kilometers an hour.
W: The sign says the maximum speed is 70 kilometers an hour on this road.
M: OK. I have to drive more slowly.
M: I’d like to eat some noodles. Do you remember the thick ones we had on our trip to China?
W: Yes, they were good, although I liked the dumplings there most. Right now, though, I’d just like a sandwich.
M: You should have got one while we were shopping.
W: All the food smells fresh today and makes my mouth water.
M: Let’s line up here. This line seems a little shorter.
W: What’s on the menu today?
M: Fish, beef, pork, chicken and vegetables. For main food there is rice, steamed bread and noodles.
W: Oh, we’re lucky today, aren’t we?
M: Yes, I’d rather take cabbage with beef.
W: I think I’ll take fried fish, because fish is my favourite.
M: That’s good. We can share what we have.
M: Clara, I heard you were training for a marathon. I’m really impressed. I could never do that.
W: I’ve been running for a few months now, but I stepped things up about a month ago.
M: But it’s so hard to do marathon. How did you make it?
W: I started off slowly, worked my way along, and now I do over three miles every day, more on weekends. Give it a shot, and you’ll feel great.
M: Sure. I will. So besides running, do you recommend any other workout?
W: Well, it depends. Andrew, do you prefer to be quiet and alone or like making friends?
M: You know I study alone in this city, far away from my hometown. So if I can make some friends, it would be perfect.
W: Well, I know a club focusing on hiking trips at weekends. It usually sets out on Friday evening, taking a bus ride to a nearby mountainous area, and they spend Saturday hiking, camping, even diving sometimes, before heading back on Sunday.
M: Cool! I love that. Please do let me know how to join it.
W: No problem.
M: The guest for today is Sue Walter, a famous judge in court. Good morning, Sue!
W: Good morning, Shawn.
M: Sue, would you please tell us the theme of your new book?
W: Well, I want people who have challenges in their lives to believe that they can still accomplish a lot. Always ask for help, I suggest.
M: Right. What’s the best part of being a judge in court?
W: Having a voice in the decision-making process. I feel a sense of satisfaction and happiness about that.
M: Er... What do you mean by happiness?
W: I think it would be the satisfaction of enjoying things with others, meaning when you give it to others, whether it’s time, attention, a gift, anything, just those moments of sharing. I have been on a children’s program. I talk to them about how the law helps people solve their problems.
M: Thanks. I appreciate your time...
W: Remind me, Trevor. When should we make the presentation?
M: Dr. White said it’s on June 4th.
W: So what are we going to include in it? Shall we start from some historical background of the islands? Maybe something about the economy or something else?
M: Oh no! Dr. White said we shouldn’t go into that sort of detail.
W: OK. How about the geographical location since not many people know where the islands are.
M: Good idea. And an overview of their education system should be included.
W: That means education statistics like literacy rates and school places should be presented.
M: Absolutely. Dr. White said he wanted us to use plenty of visual tools, like the overhead projector and some maps and we might as well try them out before the presentation.
W: No problem. They are available in the Resources Room.
M: I see, Julie. But it’s almost time for my lesson. May we divide it? I will book all the visuals and you do the other stuff. Let’s meet again on Monday.
W: Sure.
W: Public libraries around the United States are changing what it means to be a library. Instead of just being places for books, they have become community centers. Lewes Public Library is one of them. This month, the library held events like discussions about books and current events, movie showings, poetry writing workshops, and Spanish-language discussions. For children, one of the most popular events this year was when a nature center brought in several special animals. Delaware Library also has a program to mail a free book to families with young children each month. The goal is to provide children with a large book collection in their home without having to pay for it themselves. In some communities, libraries are where people access social services. Wheaton Library, Maryland’s new public library, holds job fairs and partners with local organizations to help families get health insurance. People who cannot afford to buy their own laptop computers can borrow one from the library. Besides, many libraries have book stores where visitors can buy new and used books. The money raised goes back to supporting the libraries.
