Lesson 1: A Private Conversation（私人谈话）
原文：
Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. 'I can't hear a word!' I said angrily. 'It's none of your business,' the young man said rudely. 'This is a private conversation!'
译文：
上周我去看戏。我的座位很好。戏很有趣。但我不喜欢。一青年男子和一青年女子坐在我的身后。他们在大声说话。我非常生气。我听不见演员在说什么。我回过头去怒视着那一男一女，他们却毫不理会。最后，我忍不住了，又一次回过头去，生气地说：“我一个字也听不见了!”“不关你的事，”那男的毫不客气地说，“这是私人间的谈话!”
Lesson 2: Breakfast or Lunch？（早餐还是午餐？）
原文：
It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. Sometimes I stay in bed until lunchtime. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. What a day! I thought. It's raining again. Just then, the telephone rang. She asked me what day it was. I said it was Sunday. She said, 'You always get up so late吗？ It's already one o'clock!'
译文：
那是星期天。我星期天从不起床很早。有时候我一直睡到午餐时间。上个星期天我起得非常晚。我往窗外看。外面很黑。多糟糕的一天啊!我想。又在下雨了。就在那时，电话响了。她问我今天星期几。我说今天是星期天。她说：“你总是起得这么晚吗？现在已经1点钟了!”
