 “剧马上就要开演了，”我说。
    “也许已经开演了呢，”苏珊回答说。
    我匆匆赶到售票处，问：“我可以买两张票吗？”
    “对不起，票已售完。”那位姑娘说。
    “真可惜！”苏珊大声说。
    正在这时，一个男子匆匆奔向售票处。
    “我可以退掉这两张票吗？”他问。
    “当然可以，”那姑娘说。
    我马上又回到售票处。

Fishing is my favourite sport. I often fish for hours without catching anything. But this does not worry me. Some fishermen are unlucky. Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish. I am even less lucky. I never catch anything -- not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. 'You must give up fishing!' my friends say. 'It's a waste of time.' But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!

 

飞机正在逐渐把我逼疯。我住在一个机场附近，过往飞机日夜不绝于耳。机场是许多年前建的，但由于某种原因当时未能启用。然而去年机场开始使用了。有100 多人肯定是被噪音逼得已经弃家远去，我是少数留下来的人中的一个。有时我觉得这房子就要被一架飞过的飞机撞倒。他们曾向我提供一大笔钱让我搬走，但我决定留在这儿。大家都说我肯定是疯了，也许他们说的是对的。

 

Airplanes are gradually driving me crazy. I live neary a airport, and the planes passing by are heard day and night. The port was built many years before. for some reason, it was not used then. But it began to be used last year. One hundrads and more peoples have been drived away by noises. I am one of the few people left. Sometimes i feel the house is going to be knocked down by a passing plane. I have been offered a large number of money.But i decide to stay.

My daughter Jane never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her same age in Hanan. last year, when we went across the English channel, Jane put a piece of paper on which she wrote down her name and her address in a bottle, then she threw it into the sea. She had never thought of it again. But ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Henan. Now the two girls are writing to each other regularly. howerver, they decide to use post office.
