W:Hey,do you mind giving me a ride home?

M:I don’t mind,but I’m not leaving until 7:00.Can you wait until then?

W:Sure.But what are you doing until then?

M:I am going to a meeting for the science club.Do you want to come?

W:No.I’m not fond of science.I seldom get good grades in my science courses…

M:Well,maybe the club could help you get more excited about science.

W:I doubt it.I’ll just go to the campus cafeteria and read a novel while you’re there.

M:Why don’t you go to the library instead?

W:It closes early on Thursdays… But the campus cafeteria is open until 8:00.

W:Mike,can you get out first and tell me if I’ve parked between the lines?I might have to back up and try again.

M:Your right tire is right on the line,but the spot next to you is a parking space that is meant for someone in a wheelchair.

W:This spot is too small for our car,anyway.Come on.We’ll park somewhere else.

M:Are you sure you want to take the chance,Lisa?It’s a holiday weekend,and I doubt there are better spaces available.

W:Fine.Just be careful when you’re opening the door,kids.

M:So,you take Jenny to get some sports shoes,and I’ll take Roger to get a haircut.I’ll be able to pick up your medicine at the drugstore while he’s there.

W:Oh,thanks.We can meet up at the food court for lunch in…an hour?

M:I see you can use chopsticks.I thought that most Americans didn’t know how.

W:There are many Chinese restaurants in American cities.We love to order food from restaurants,and many American kids learn to use them before they even start school.

M:That’s interesting.I think it would be easier to use what you’re used to.When I eat American food,I don’t use a knife and fork.

W:I think people just like the whole experience.The chopsticks,the little white boxes and,most importantly,the fortune cookies.

M:I’ve heard about the fortune cookies,but I’ve never seen one in China.Why are they so popular?

W:The little messages inside the cookies are really fun.People don’t take them too seriously,but it has become a tradition over the years.After you finish eating your food,you just sit back and relax and read a message about your future.

M:What types of things do they say?

W:Most of the time,they are simple sayings like,“A person is never too old to learn.”I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad one.

M:Yeah,you want your customers to be happy at the end of their meal.

M:What’s the best vacation that you’ve ever been on?

W:When I was in middle school,I went to Thailand with my parents.It was my first time out of the country,so it was pretty exciting.

M:What did you do there?

W:We spent one night in the capital Bangkok,and then we took a short flight to the southern part of the country.We saw many islands there,and you can take little boats between them.

M:Did you go to Chiang Mai?I’ve heard that’s where the jungles and elephants are.That’s where I’d want to go.

W:Well,we wanted to,but that city is in the north,so we didn’t have enough time.All right,your turn.

M:Well,when I was 17 years old,I went to China with my classmates.We had been studying Chinese for a few years,and my teacher thought a trip to China would help us get to the next level.We spent two weeks there and stayed with host families.We started out in Beijing,and then we spent a few days in Tianjin and Hangzhou.Our last stop was Shanghai,and that’s where we flew home.

W:Was it cool to live with local families?

M:Yes.Everyone was different,but they were all super friendly.They cooked amazing food every night.And because I talked with them every day,my Chinese really improved.
