Conversation 1
Andy: I’m not sure which activity to do. Any suggestions?
John: You are good at the 400-metre race. Why not try that?
Andy: Are you joking? Do you think I can beat Mike in Class One?
John: What about the high jump then?
Andy: No. Do you think I should try the long jump?
John: Well, don’t you think it would be a better idea for me to do that one? I’m pretty good at it.
Andy: I think I am good at it too. I suggest that you run the 100-metre race. No one in our school can beat you. If I were you, I would certainly choose that.
John: But I haven’t practiced for a long time. Shall we do some training?
Andy: That’s a good idea. Will Saturday morning do?
John: Yes.
Conversation 2
Daniel: Where shall we go with Linda? Shall we go to the Great Wall?
Kitty: I’m afraid that’s not a good idea. She went there yesterday.
Daniel: Well, we could go to the Palace Museum.
Kitty: Yes, that’s a good idea, but it’s very expensive. I’d like to go to the Temple of Heaven.
Daniel: Sure. Why don’t we go to Beijing Amusement Park, too?
Kitty: What a great idea! Let’s go to the Temple of Heaven and then play hide-and-seek in Beijing Amusement Park.

B: Why not? If were you, I certainly would.
A: But I’m afraid it’ll take up too much of my time.
B: As the saying goes: Work while you work, play while play.
A: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, you know?
B: Hmm, you’re right.
Conversation 4
A: Would you like to go swimming with me?
B: No, I don’t think so.
