M:Do you want to go with me to get some pizza,Sally?

W:No,Brad.I’m waiting for a package to be delivered.

M:This is why I hate shopping online.It would be faster to just get what you want from the store.Now you have to sit here all day.Isn’t Mom home?

W:No,Mom went to work.

M:Just download an app to keep track of your package.You can just come back when you get a delivery notice.

W:No,thanks.Even if they leave the package there for a short time,someone could steal it.

M:Goodness! You just don’t want to go with your little brother.

W:It’s not that.I really did the plan to stay home and wait for this package.Why don’t we just have the pizza delivered?

M:Great!

M:Your readers are interested in your childhood.What was it like?

W:I grew up in a small town.We lived in a very poor house but we always lived in a very beautiful environment.I had my favorite trees and I had contact with birds.My parents were farm workers.Though we were poor,I think I was happy.

M:It would not have been expected that you’ll become a literary figure.Was your mother ambitious for you?

W:Well,my mother wasn’t especially ambitious for me in the sense of going to college when I grew up.I think her greatest contribution was simply that she loved me very much.No matter what had happened,I had my mother with me.

M:She gave you confidence.

W:Yes,she did.She earned very little money.And in spite of that,she managed to buy a typewriter for me.She just wanted me to be able to do the things that she couldn’t do even if she didn’t know what they were.

W:Many people have to wear a mask every day now.I plan to wear one tomorrow.

M:Me too.I’ve decided to take a bus to work instead of driving.I hope it will help.

W:I think that’s a good way to cut down on vehicle emissions.I can ride my bike to work since my office is not far from my home.

M:Oh,that’s good! I hope the government will do something to stop air pollution.

W:Yes,though I think it’s not only the government’s job.We citizens should also try what we can do to protect our environment.

Hello,everybody! This is the first day of class,so we are going to give some introductions.First of all,my name is Colin Weaver.You can call me Professor Weaver.This is my helper Liz,who will grade your papers.Now,let’s preview what this class is about.It’s about science in ancient Greece and Rome.I know you think that science is something created in modern times,but people have been studying things like that for a very long time.Much of what we know now is based on what the ancient Greeks and Romans found out.This includes electricity and even some knowledge about the stars.An ancient Greek calculated the size of the earth correctly.And yes,many Greeks believed the earth was round.A huge amount of the math we use today was worked out by people like Archimedes—a smart man.You will learn more about ancient Greece and Rome in this class.All right…any questions,please?OK.That boy over there…
