1 A private conversation
私人谈话
Last weekI
went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was
very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a
young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking
loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned
round. I looked at the man andthe woman angrily. They did
not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I
turned round again. 'I can't hear a word!' I said angrily.'It's
noneof your business,' the young man said rudely. 'This is
a private conversation!'

3 Pleasesend me a card
请给我寄一张明信片
Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went
to Italy. I visited museums and sat inpublic gardens. A
friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. Then he
lent me a book.I read a few lines, but I did not understand a
word. Everyday I thought about holidays
passed quickly, but I did not send cards to my friends. On
the last day I made a big decision. I got up early and
bought thirty- seven cards. I spent the whole day in myroom,
but I did not write a single card!

town. Nearly everybody enters for
'TheNicest Garden
Competition' each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill
Frith'sgarden is
largerthan Joe's. Bill works harder than
Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables,but
Joe'sgarden is more interesting. He has made neat paths
and has built a woodenbridge
over apool. I like
gardens too, but I do not like hard work. Every year I enter

prize for the worst garden in the town!
