Unit 6

Part One

E = E.T. H = Human Being

H: Hey, why are you dressed in such a funny costume? Are you trying to tell me you are from Mars? Don't be silly! It's not Halloween. Come on. Take off the costume.

E: Ouch! Stop! This is my life support! I landed on this planet only yesterday. How can you treat a visitor so rudely!

H: I'm sorry. But did you say you just came to this planet?

E: That's right! I was traveling space the other day when I met a human being called Yang Liwei. He told me that his homeland on Earth is extremely attractive. So I decided to come here to have a look.

H: Wow! You are a real E.T.! Welcome, but I still don't believe it.

E: You'd better believe it. I'm a real E.T.! Good to meet you!

H: Welcome to Earth. Have you found anything different here?

E: Sure. There are so many people, bicycles and cars on the streets that they can hardly move. And the bicycles and cars look like toys. I have never seen them before. We don't need them at all. We can move freely whenever and wherever we want. H: Well, it would be nice not to have traffic jams.

E: But it looks like you are enjoying life more than we do. It's beautiful here with all the trees and flowers. I hear that there are lots of interesting places here.

H: There sure are!

E: And the food you eat attracts me very much, especially the vegetables and fruits.

H: Don't you have attractive and tasty foods at home?

E: No, we need only electricity. It gives us enough energy to keep alive and active.

H: Amazing!

E: And I notice that you play interesting and exciting games. I watched one game and enjoyed it very much. There were ten people and one ball moving back and forth. Is it called basketball?

H: Yeah, that's right. Basketball is one of the most popular sports. Many people here love it. It's not strange that you liked it when you saw it. There are also many other kinds of sports, such as football, tennis and volleyball. All of them are very exciting to us.

E: I wish we had exciting sports. We spend too much time on high technology. Everything in our world is controlled by computers and all we have to do is sit in front of them to get what we want and need.

H: So, do you play computer games as sports? Some of us like them very much.

E: They were popular on our planet one hundred years ago. Now nobody has much interest in them. I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I must say our computer technology is much more advanced than yours.

H: You must be kidding. We have always thought that humans are the most intelligent creatures in the universe. But anyway, I'd really like to take a trip to outer space and see what exactly your life is like. Can I go back with you? That would be great!

E: I'd love to take you there, but there are two problems. How would you survive on my planet without oxygen? And how could you return to Earth by yourself?

H: Do you mean that it's impossible for me to go with you to your place?

E: That's right. But if it is ever possible, I promise you I'll show you around when you get there. I do have to go back now because I've almost used up the electricity in my body. It's been nice talking with you. I really do have to say goodbye for now.

H: One day I hope we do meet again and I hope you will keep your promise. Bye.
