Yeah , and the prices there are very high .
Three dollars for milk .
Do you think they two will get married ?
You can count on it .
Yes , they get along so well .
He ' s good for her .
Dad , where are we off to ?
First we will go to the city centre and stop for something to drink .
Then we will visit the University Museum .
Where are we going to have a drink ?
There is a coffee shop round the corner .
Can you see that big building at the end of the road ?
The coffee shop is opposite the bank .
I will have hot chocolate .
Wait for the lights to turn green .
When crossing the road you must always pay attention to what's around you .
How far is the museum ?
We will ask for directions in the coffee shop .
You find us a table and I'll get the drinks .
How about going to the cinema tonight ?
I am not sure about the name of the film , but I know it's a romantic one .
I am afraid I like thrillers better .
Don't you think it's too bloody ?
On the contrary , very exciting .
I feel so uncomfortable .
The teacher is dragging the chalk over the blackboard .
It set my teeth on edge .
He ’ ll finish writing in a minute .
I have made up my mind .
I am getting a tattoo .
They are trendy and look great !
I want to get a dragon on my arm or maybe a tiger on my back .
Yeah but , it is something that you will have forever !
They use indelible ink that can only be removed with laser treatment .
On top of all that , I have heard it hurts a lot !
They use this machine with a needle that pokes your skin and inserts the ink .
Oh , I didn ’ t know that !
I thought they just paint it on your skin or something .
I think you should reconsider and do some more research about tattoos .
Also , find out where the nearest tattoo parlor is and make sure they used sterilized needles , and that the place is hygienic .
Maybe I should just get a tongue piercing !
Excuse me , what's the screen near your steering wheel for ?
It's a popular thing now .
Oh , that's new to me .
So what's on everyday ?
News about current affairs , documentaries , music , movies , noncommercial ads and so on .
Is there anything interesting ?
Yes , there are something good and informative .
I think that many people underestimate the value of TV in education .
Are there any commercials on the TV ?
Because the TV stations need to make money from commercials between the programs .
That makes a lot of sense .
Does the TV work well ?
It depends on the transmission of the satellite signals .
Do you pay for the programs ?
Yes , 50 Yuan per month .
Look at the view from the window .
Not at all what I expected .
It ’ s awful , isn ’ t it ?
I can ’ t bear to look at it .
I ’ m rather disappointed .
It can ’ t be helped .
What do you do in your free time , Nancy ?
Well , I like playing the violin .
How long have you been playing the violin ?
About ten years so far .
I started learning when I was in middle school .
That's really interesting .
Do you have any hobbies ?
Well , I like collecting matchbox !
I'm not sure if that counts , though .
Everybody has his own hobby .
How can I tell her about this ?
Don't worry , you'll find a way .
There is no need to be so frustrated .
How can you live without job in the future ?
Don't worry , you'll find a way .
What sports do you like to play ?
I like baseball and basketball .
In my country football is brand new , so I never learned the game when I was younger .
It's a very popular game in America .
I heard a lot about it .
Is it really that fun ?
For me , it's one of those games that are fun to both watch and play .
Are you a football player ?
No , I just for fun with my friends .
We play two hand touch or flag football .
We're too old to play tackle football .
What is two hand touch and flag football ?
Instead of tackling somebody , you just have to touch them with two hands , or if it is flag football , grab the flag that the ball carrier is wearing .
It's safer then right ?
We play every Saturdays on the field by the tennis courts .
If you want to learn and play a little , you're welcome to join us .
Give me a call and let's go down together .
I'll call you Saturday morning .
As usual , they reminded me again that I should have a plan to marry by my late 20s .
Easier said then done .
I have no time to go on a date .
It is not your mother finding one for you ?
I will find one myself , of course .
