M: Yes, I have. What a good memory you have! I was here for the Arts Festival two years ago.
W: And what will you be doing on this visit?
M: Oh, I came here primarily for a holiday and to see some friends. But I will also be giving some private cello lessons as well.
W: I believe that your cello is rather special. Is that true?
M: Oh, yes. It was made for my uncle by a very expert German cello maker called Schuster. When I began cello lessons at the age of eight, he said that when I grew big enough to handle a full-sized cello, he would give it to me.
W:So when a child begins to play the cello, he or she starts on a smaller instrument?
M: Of course, or he would be very uncomfortable. Many children begin with a half-sized cello, but as I was big for my age, I began with a two-thirds-sized cello.
W. Are you going to other places on this trip and will you take your cello with you?
M: Yes, very definitely.
W: But, isn't it difficult taking a cello around with you?
M: Not really. I just reserve two scats when I'm traveling anywhere, one for me and one for my cello. It's such a precious instrument to me that it hardly ever leaves my side.
Which is NOT the man's purpose of this visit?
A.To visit friends.
B.To vacation.
C.To give private lessons.
D.To attend the Arts Festival.
W: Thank you, Mr. Parker.
M: Oh, look at those trophies! You became a swimming star at the age of fifteen, didn't you?
W: Yeah, you're right.
M: Could you tell me something about your plans for the future?
W: To tell you the truth, I'm going to give up swimming from how on.
M: I beg your pardon?
W: I mean I'd rather not swim at all. I'm too old to...
M: Excuse me, if I'm not wrong, you're only twenty now. Is it too old at twenty .9
W: Yes, too old for a swimmer. If I swim in an international competition, I'll hardly be able to win.
M: But... er... don't you enjoy swimming?
W: Certainly, and I enjoy visiting other countries, and the Olympics are very exciting. However, I missed more important things. I had to work very hard at swimming. There was training before school, after school, and at weekends. While other girls were growing up, I was swimming, swimming. But life isn't merely swimming, is it?
