W: When I got home last night, I found a letter from students at the school I used to go to. They want me to go back and talk to them.
M: Oh, really? And are you going?
W: I don’t know. I used to hate school, so I don’t want to go back very much.
M: But it’s different now.
W: Yes, I know. But it’s still a difficult decision. You see, when I was at school I used to be a rebel and none of the teachers used to like me very much.
M: Well, I think you should go. When I was younger, I used to dream about meeting a famous pop star. You can’t disappoint them.
W: You’re right. OK. I will go.

W: We can go swimming and bowling.

M: I talked to my great-grandmother on the phone this morning.
W: Your great-grandmother? Do you talk with her often?
M: I try to call her at least once a week. She’s a really wonderful woman. She’s over 85. I enjoy talking to her, because she is so understanding, and because she gives me good advice.
W: What advice did she give you today?
M: She told me to be careful because a big storm is coming.
W: She said that a big storm is coming? Is she a weather forecaster?
M: Not exactly. She said that she could feel it in her bones when the storm is coming. I know it sounds funny, but when she feels it, she is usually right.
W: That’s not actually so funny. When people get older, they probably have some pain in their joints from decreasing air pressure just before a storm.
M: Then I’d better pay more attention to my great-grandmother’s weather forecast.

Sunday
Peter,
I am very glad that my mother is coming this afternoon by air. But I have to give a lecture and have no time to meet her. I am writing to ask you to meet my mother at the airport at 3:30 for me. As you have never seen her before, I will say something about her to help you recognize her. She is around sixty years old, fat and short, with a long face and gray hair. I have been told she is dressed in a white blouse and brown trousers and she will take a yellow suitcase with her.
I will be grateful to you for your help.
Yours,
Li Hua
