Lesson 1

Text A How Old Is She?

A woman was having some trouble with her heart, so she went to see the doctor. He was a new doctor, and did not know her. So he first asked some questions, and one of them was:"How old are you?"
一位婦女的心臟有問題，所以她去看醫(yī)生。這是一位新醫(yī)生，他對她不了解。所以他先問了一些問題，其中一個是：“你幾歲了？”

"Well," she answered:"I don't remember, doctor, but I will try to think. "She thought for a minute and then said,"Yes. I remember now, doctor! When I married, I was eighteen years old, and my husband was thirty. Now my husband is sixty, I know. And that is twice thirty. So I am twice eighteen. That is thirty-six, isn't it? "
“唔，”她回答：“我不記得了，醫(yī)生，但我會試著去想?！彼肓艘粫赫f，“是的，我記起來了，醫(yī)生！我結(jié)婚的時候，我是18歲，我的丈夫是30歲?，F(xiàn)在我知道丈夫60歲了。那正好是30的兩倍。所以我也是18的兩倍。那就是36歲，不是嗎？”

哈哈，這位女士還真是“幽默”呀，聰明的你覺得她已經(jīng)幾歲了呢？記得把你的答案留下來分享哦！

一定要試著復述下哈，對口語提高有幫助滴！

Accident

The river, you see, was never really safe at that time of the year- early autumn, I mean, when there is heavy rainfall. So when I heard the children had gone swimming, as they used to all spring and summer, I knew there might be an awful accident. And when they came home late without little Katie, I guessed what had happened.
