1. Holidays

A: Hey, Bill, the winter holiday is coming. Are you excited?

B: Yeah. I have been away from home for half a year. I miss my families. How about you?

A: I am also eager to go back home. You hometown is in the south of China, right? Can you tell me about how to celebrate Spring Festival in your region?

B: People will do Spring Festival shopping, and buy lots of food, new clothes, and so on. Kids like playing fireworks. But It’s a little dangerous. In the New Year’s Eve, families get together to have a big dinner.

A: It sounds great. In the north, people would have dumplings. It’s delicious, but a little difficult to make. Do you have dumplings?

B: No, it’s not a tradition in the south. As you say, it’s complicated to make. But we will eat ricedumpling.

A: Oh, maybe southern people have the right choice. In Spring Festival, we place doublets on our door and make New Year cake. We also have family reunion dinner. And people would watch the Spring Festival Gala of CCTV. To be honest, I don’t really like it. It’s getting more and more tedious.

B: Yeah, I agree with that. But people seem to have no choices but watch the Gala. It has become a tradition to stay home late watching TV, and, in the next morning, people get up early to visit neighbors.

A: Yeah, in my hometown, we sleep for only 4 or 5 hours. I hate it, for it’s cold and dark outside. I just wonder why we cannot get up as usual.

B: Oh, it’s the tradition, whichwe should respect. By the way, when will you come back to school?

A: Maybe before the Lantern Festival. What a pity! How about you?

B: The same with you. We can celebrate the Lantern Festival in Beijing. Maybe we can have more fun. How about going to visit some interesting places together when we come back?

A: Good idea. It’s a deal.

B:Deal!!!

A: Yeah, West Lake is really a great place that I want to visit. Have you been to Leifeng Towel? B: Yeah, of course. Everyone knows the love story of BaiSuzhen and Xu Xian. It would be a pity if I have’t visited theLeifeng Towel.

A: That’s right. I must have a visit th ere if I had a chance. By the way, do you like travel?

B: Yes, I love travel . Not just for fun, it's also educational. It gives me chances to know different places and cultures. In addition, it teaches me how to communicate with strangers and deal with urgencies.

A: I can't agree more. I also like travel very much. After I coming to Beijing, I went to many famous places like Forbidden City, the Great Wall, Tian'anmen Square on weekends. But there are

always crowds of people and it's really tough to get on buses or subway. By the way, where do you want to visit most in the world?

B: About eight ‘clock. You know, originally, it just takes me less than one hour from my workplace to school if everything goes well, but today, I have been standing on the bus for almost about two hours.

A: I’m sorry to he ar that. Last week, I went to Chaoyang District for an interview. The bus was always at a standstill, and all I could do was waiting patiently. I was so bored at that time.

B: It’s true; maybe the only landscape I can see is bicycleweaving their way slowly between busand car.

A: However, some people riding bicycles don’t abide by the traffic rules. It has a so bad impact on the transport.

B: You are right. If everyone obeys the rules, maybe the whole condition will be improved greatly.

B: Oh, I hope so, thank you. So what about you? Do you want to acquire a Ph. D?

A: I’m not really sure what you’re getting at.（我不懂你的意思）

B: Ok. Let me put it another way. Did your teacher look displeased?

A: Yes, he did. Did I annoy him?
