W:Henry,I heard you took a trip to China last month.So how was your time there?

M:Fascinating.We went to Beijing.It’s a modern city with a long history.My parents were more interested in visiting the ancient towns,so we stayed in Beijing just for two days.

W:Did you go to Luoyang?It was an ancient capital of China.

M:No,it’s a pity that we didn’t have enough time.My parents wanted to go there most,but we visited Xi’an instead because they knew I’d been longing to travel there.

W:It must be amazing.I watched a documentary about it.

M:Indeed.We wandered around the old streets,the houses,the temples and city walls.All of them could tell stories for centuries.It really gave us a sense of how magnificent ancient Chinese culture was.I felt truly happy to have such a first-hand experience.It was especially worthwhile to me.We also tasted the local snacks while watching some local performances there.

M:Emily,what happened?Why do you have to leave?Any complaints?You’ve always been a good waitress here,and we’re all satisfied with your work.

W:I know the Grand Restaurant is the best one in the city and I get paid well here,but I’m taking some courses at a university from next month,so I won’t be able to work full time.

M:Taking some courses?What courses are you taking?

W:I started working here as soon as I finished high school.Now I really regret that.When I went to university last week,they advised me to take English literature,history and law,because they are easy for me to study by myself.

M:I see.Have you considered coming back to work?I’ll ask the HR to keep your position if you want.

W:Thank you very much,Mr.Harrison.Could you wait until next week before I decide?

M:OK.

W:Kole,could I have a look at this?

M:Certainly.It’s an old picture taken when I was a teenager.

W:Oh,who is the boy in it?Is it a cousin of yours?

M:No.He isn’t a relative of mine.I helped save his life and he took the picture with me after he left the hospital.

W:What exactly happened?

M:It was nine years ago.I was driving along a river in Winnipeg,Manitoba,when I noticed a blue jacket floating in the freezing waters.I was confused and stopped my car to have a look,only to find that a young boy was struggling to get out of a crack in the ice.

W:Did you jump into the water to save him?

M:No,I didn’t know how to swim.I feared both of us would die if I jumped into the water to save him.I found a rope in my car and threw it at him.The boy caught it and I managed to pull him to the bank.

W:Do you still keep in touch with the boy?

M:Yes.He sometimes visits me in the hospital where I work.
