| (J: John and M: Mike are talking in front of their dormitory.) |
| J: |
Hey Mike, where did you get his super bike? |
| M: |
I bought it from a bike shop in Taipei. I'm going to travel around the island on it after finals.. |
| J: |
Really?! Are you going alone? Do you need some company? |
| M: |
It would be nice to have some company. You know my Chinese isn't very good yet. But the trip will be time-consuming and will take a lot of energy. I don't know who would be interested in going with me. |
| J: |
Do you think I'm qualified to be your company? I would like to do something different this summer. |
| M: |
You?! Would your mother let you go? I thought you were interested in nothing besides staying with your mother. |
| J: |
Please, Mike. You know I'm the only son in my family. I just try to do everything I can to be a good son. But I'm twenty years old now, and I have to be my own man. I'll convince my mother of this.
|
| M: |
OK. And after the trip, your mother will realize that you are a bit more mature. Should we check with Eric and Patrick? Maybe they would like to join us too. |
| J: |
Sure. I'll go out and buy a map, and then I'll go to the library to see if there is a tourist guidebook that we can use. |
| M: |
Don't get too excited. First we need to prepare for final exams. |
| J: |
Finals?! I almost forgot that I was supposed to be on my way to the Xerox shop to copy this notebook, which I borrowed from the smartest student in my class. |
| M: |
I also need to calm myself down for finals. Let's talk about the trip after finals, OK? |
