M:Good morning.Since so many of you have asked me about how to learn a language,I thought it might be useful to take some class time today to discuss it.Betty,you speak several foreign languages,don’t you?

W:Yes.I speak Spanish and French.

M:And can you tell me what helped you most in learning these languages?

W:What helped me most… Well,I studied both languages in high school,and I’m still studying Spanish here at the university.But I think that travel has probably been the most helpful to me.

M:Yes.When you live in a country where the language is spoken,it’s perfect.

W:That’s true.But whether or not I’m living in a country where the language is spoken,I also watch TV or listen to the radio in the language I’m trying to learn.

M:That’s good.

M:How are we getting to Georgia?Have you decided yet?

W:What about taking a flight?We can get there in just a few hours.

M:But I’m afraid of flying.And it’s kind of expensive,isn’t it?Besides,we’ll miss the beautiful scenery.

W:You are right.Then forget about the airport.

M:What about going there by car?We can rent a car.

W:But I don’t have a driver’s license,and you’ll get too tired if you drive all the way.You know it’s dangerous to drive when you’re tired.

M:Then what about taking a train or a bus?

W:It’s uncomfortable on the bus.

M:But it’s so cheap.And we’ll get to see the countryside along the way.

W:Yes,it’s cheap.But it will be full of other passengers trying to save money.

M:Hmm.I guess it would be interesting.We’d get to meet a lot of people.And we’d get to see the scenery!

W:Scenery?We’d just be seeing a bunch of city bus stations.We’d have to switch buses in every city.It’ll take forever!

M:Well,all right.Then I guess there is just one option left.

(W)I woke up this morning feeling a little worried.I was going to take part in the 200-meter race in our school’s swimming pool.Was I ready?Was I prepared?

First,the headmaster gave a speech at 8 o’clock.He encouraged us all to do well.Five teams took part in each event.At 8:30,the 100-meter freestyle began.Unfortunately,one of our swimmers had a sudden pain in her left leg during the race.She stopped swimming and shouted for help.A teacher jumped into the pool and brought her back.Luckily,she was fine.At about 9:10,it was time for my event,the 200-meter freestyle.I walked to the edge of the pool and waited for the judge to fire his gun.I heard him say,“On your marks… Get set… Go!”and we jumped in.However,a swimmer dived into the pool too early.We had to start again.I was in the lead for the first 150 meters,but another swimmer swam past me later.I won a medal for second place.My team came in second overall with 47 points.The team which won had a total of 53 points.

I’m tired out now.It’s been a long day and I’m about to go to sleep.Bye!
