M:Hey,Jane.I have been doing a research about fear.Are you especially frightened of anything?

W:Well,I’m afraid of walking alone in an open field at night.

M:What are you afraid of?

W:I don’t know exactly.Darkness just makes me nervous.When I’m staying by myself in a dark room,I wouldn’t dare walk anywhere.I just want to hide under a blanket.

M:If you’re frightened of the darkness,you’ll miss a lot of interesting experiences.To enjoy life,you should find a doctor to help you overcome your fear of the darkness.

W:Yeah,that’s good advice.Time is limited.Let’s hurry up.Our English teacher is waiting for us in the classroom.

M:Oh,my god.I forgot to prepare for the class.

M:Oh_…Don’t you remember we had a picnic on last cloudy Sunday?Why don’t we go hiking to the lake and then go swimming instead?

W:It’s too cold to go swimming this time of year.How about going hiking and then going fishing?

M:That sounds like a good idea for the daytime.But_…I’d like to go to the theatre to watch a play in the evening.

W:If we go and see the play we can’t catch the last bus home.Besides,the last game of the NBA finals will be on that night.I’d rather stay at home and watch the game.

W:Good evening.Today is Mother’s Day,and Sam will give us a speech about Mother’s Day.Now,Sam.

M:Hello,everyone.Mother’s Day is not a new celebration.Historians say it started as a spring festival in ancient Greece.The modern festival of Mother’s Day probably comes from England in the 1600s,when people had a day off from their jobs to visit their mothers on a day they called “Mothering Sunday”.They took small gifts and a special cake.In the United States,Mother’s Day became an official holiday in 1914.People in different countries celebrate Mother’s Day on different days.In China,Australia,Brazil,Italy and the United States,it’s on the second Sunday in May,whereas in France and Sweden,it’s on the last Sunday in May.In Argentina,Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in October,whereas in Portugal,it’s on December 8th.Although many countries celebrate Mother’s Day at different times of the year,the holidays have the same purpose — to show love for mothers.For example,on Mother’s Day morning,children bring their mothers breakfast in bed.And adults buy their mothers flowers or send them cards.May our mothers have a happy day!
