　　W：David， I can’t get the top off this bottle of sauce. Could you open it for me， please？

　　M：I’ll try. Er…er. I’m sorry， Mum. I can’t. It’s too tight.

　　W：I’ll ask your father then. Alex， Where are you？ Alex…

　　M：Mum， I heard him going out a few minutes ago.

　　W：But he didn’t tell me where he was going. But…

　　M：I though you asked him to pick up some clothes for you at the cleaner’s.

　　W：That’s right. Thank you. I hope he took an umbrella with him. It looks as if it’s going to rain.

　　M：I imagine he did. But I didn’t see him leaving， so I don’t know. Oops！ It’s raining already！ It’s really pouring down， isn’t it？

　　W：Too bad！ There’s been too much rain this summer. Oh， here comes your father， but he hasn’t got an umbrella.

　　M：Look at him running up the path. He’s really getting soaked to the skin.

　　W：I’d better find some dry clothes for him.

　　M：But Mum， what about the bottle？

　　W：Not now， David. We’ll ask Dad after he gets changed.

　　Text 8

　　M：Where are you from？

　　W：The United States. I live in New York.

　　M：Oh， really？ I think it’s a big city with a large population， right？ By the way， do you like it？

　　W：Yeah. I think it’s the only place to live in.

　　M：Why do you say that？

　　W：You see， there’s always something exciting to do， and it’s never boring.

　　M：My place isn’t boring， either. You can fish， hike， grow some flowers and vegetables—all kinds of things， if you like， though it’s small and quiet.

　　W：I guess so， especially here in New Zealand.

　　M：Hi， Sue？

　　W：Hello， Dick. How are you？

　　M：I’m fine. Where are you going？

　　W：Oh， I’m on my way home from work.

　　M：I didn’t know you had a job.

　　W：Yeah， I work part time at a supermarket.

　　M：What do you do there？

　　W：I work in the fruit-vegetable section， trimming and wrapping things. Sometimes when it really gets busy， I work at the check-out counter. Have you got a job？

　　M：Yeah. I do garden work for people. You know， cutting grass， pulling weeds， things like that.

　　W：I like doing that. Must be nice to work outdoors.

　　M：Sometimes it is， except when it rains or snows or gets too hot or too cold.

　　W：Well， I guess every job has its disadvantages. But a job’s a job. Got to earn money for school.

　　M：Me too. Tuition is sure high， isn’t it？ Well， don’t work too hard， holding down a job， going to class， studying. Sometimes it can become too much for one person. Take it easy.
