西班牙的雨The W eather in Spain
A：Hi.Great party，isn't it？
B：Yes，and isn't the weather good？
A：Actually，I think it's a little cold.
B：Cold？！But it's the hottest day so far this year.
A：Well，you see，I live in Spain.It'smuch hotter there.
B：Really？Is it hot all the year round？
A：Well，in the winter it's cool；but it's still hotter than England.
B：Does it ever snow in Spain？
A：Yes，but only on the mountains.People go skiing in the winter.There're lots of mountains for skiing in the North-East and some in the South too.
B：Oh，when Iwent to Spain it rained every day.
A：Oh dear，youmust have been very unlucky.Where were you？
B：We were in the South，near the coast.The locals thought it was unusual to have so much rain.Look at those clouds.I think it's going to rain here.It's getting colder，too.
A：Yes，I think I just felt a drop of rain.Shallwe go inside？
B：Yes，good idea.Let's go.

A：Do you drive to work，John？
B：Yes.It's silly because I live so close，but it'smuch more convenient.
A：You should walk or bicycle；it would make you healthier and help to protect the environment at the same time.
B：Don't be ridiculous！If just one person doesn't drive，it'llmake no difference.
A：No.Listen.If everyone think that way，then nothing would ever happen.People should realize it's up to them to do a little.Every little does helps.
B：But the problem is not that serious，is it？
A：Yes，it is.The earth is warming up because of all the air pollution from cars and factories，and all the man-made waste that is polluting the water and eroding the soil.
B：Iheard something about trees too.
A：Yeah.The trees need carbon dioxide to live and it's one of the gases that's causing the earth to warm up.
B：What can we do about that？
A：We should learn to use less paper，and when we need it，we should try to use recycled paper.
B：What's that？
A：It's papermade from old，used paper.
B：Is that recycled paper that you're using，Jane？

美国访友A V isit to an Am erican Friend
A：Welcome to America，Susan.
B：Thank you，Juana.I'm so happy to see you.Oh，whata lovely house you've got！But your front gardens haven't got any hedges between them.
A：We call them “front yards”here，Susan.No，our front yards belong more to a street as a whole.We drop in on each other.We'remore sociable than you are.You like to bemore private.“An Englishman's home is his castle”，isn't that right？
B：Well，yes and no.I'm afraid we are becomingmore and more American.
A：Come on in！I'll show you your room.Mum tellme thatmany English people would rather take a bath than a shower.I'm afraid our bathtub is very small...Well，now you know where everything is.I'll leave you alone，to unpack.
B：Excuseme，but you haven't told me where the toilet is.
A：Ah，yes.Bathroom is one of the words we use for“toilet”.We don't have bathrooms in the English style；most of us prefer showers.We say“take a bath”，but you say“have a bath”，don't you？
B：Yes.We have a bath in a bath.
A：Crazy language！The closets are all empty.Understand？
B：Yes，cupboards！I read somewhere not long ago that British and American English would soon be two different language.
A：Rubbish！In another ten years，you British will all be speaking American English.But Ihope you don't change your accent！
B：Who knows？To be serious，I've got only a fortnight to stay in America，but I'd like to visit somemajor places of interest here.What do you suggest？
A：I'd suggest you go to New York City and Washington D.C.，where you'll be able to see some highlights of places of interest in the country.Besides that，there's one place you shouldn'tmiss before you go back to England，that's Hollywood in Los Angeles.
B：I'll certainly find time to visit Hollywood.It's such a famous place for the American film production.
A：Movies！We say“movies”instead of“film”.We go to themovies when you say“go to the cinema”.
B：God！You're confusingme with your American English.
