Lee and Pat are speaking about what they are going to do today.

李和佩特在討論他們今天要做什麼

Lee

Today is Thursday, isn’t it?

Pat

Yes, I think so. Yes, today is Thursday.

Lee

Oh, yes. That’s right, isn’t it? Yesterday was Wednesday, so today is Thursday.

Pat

That’s right. Today will be a very good day for me. I’m taking these beautiful pink flowers to give to the teacher. Then, after school, I’m going to go to the teacher’s house.

Lee

Really? What are you going to do there? Why are you going to go to the teacher’s house?

Pat

I’m going to go there so I can help the teacher in her garden.

Lee

Well, be careful not to walk on the teacher’s grass. The teacher doesn’t like it if people walk on her grass. The teacher wants us to be good when we are at her house. She doesn’t want us to do things that are bad for her garden.

Pat

I know. Our teacher wants everything in her garden to stay beautiful - the flowers, the grass… everything!

Lee

What time will you come home?

Pat

I’ll come home after we have dinner. The teacher is going to show me her new kitchen. Then we are going to make dinner together.

Lee

And then?

Pat

Then, we will eat dinner together. After that, we will speak a little and then I will come home.

Lee

When you get home, please come and see me so you can tell me about everything in the teacher’s house. And Pat?

Pat

What?

Lee

Please bring me a little of the food you and the teacher make for dinner.

李

今天是星期四，不是嗎？

佩特

是的，我也這麼想。沒錯，今天是星期四。

李

噢，對，沒錯，不是嗎？昨天是星期三，所以今天是星期四。

佩特

是的，今天對我來說會是非常開心的一天。我要把這些美麗的粉紅花朵帶去送給老師。然後，放學之後，我要去老師家。

李

真的嗎？你要去那裡做什麼？你為什麼要到老師家去？

佩特

我去那裡就可以幫老師打理她的花園了。

李

嗯，小心點，別走到老師的草坪上。老師不喜歡人們在她的草坪上走動。老師希望我們在她家的時候要懂事。她不希望我們做一些對她的花園不好的事情。

佩特

我知道，我們的老師希望她花園裡的一切都保持美麗——花、草、所有東西！

李

你什麼時候回家？

佩特

吃完晚餐我會回來。老師要給我看看她的新廚房，接著我們會一起做晚餐。

李

然後呢？

佩特

然後，我們會一起吃晚餐。在那之後，我們會聊一會兒天，接著我會回家。

李

你到家時來找我，這樣你就可以告訴我在老師的房子發生的一切了。還有啊，佩特。

佩特

什麼？

李

請給我帶一些你和老師一起做的晚餐。
