Sharon: I really think we should take a tour of the white house. Sharon: I really think we should visit the White House. Stuart: I thought we could go to some of the museums. Stuart: I think we can visit museums. Don't you want to see the museums? Don't you want to go? Sharon: Of course. But today I feel like seeing the white house. Sharon: Of course, but I want to go to the White House today. We should see it first, because it's the most famous historical building here. We should go there first, because it is the most famous historical building here. Stuart: I don't agree. I think the capitol building is the most famous. Stuart: I don't think so. The US Capitol is the most famous. But okay. If you want to see the white house, we'll go see it. But it doesn't matter. If you want to go to the White House, go ahead. I'm just afraid it will be boring. I'm just afraid it will be boring. SHARON: Boring? How can it be boring? It sounds very interesting to me. Sharon: boring? How can it be? I think it's very interesting. STUART: But it'S the White House. The President and His Family Live There. Stuart: The White House is where the President and his family live. They won't let us see most of it. Probably we can only see a couple of rooms. They won't let people visit many places, maybe only a few exhibition rooms. SHARON: No, that's not true. Sharon: That's not true. The white house is very big. And there are a lot of historical exhibits there. The White House is very big and has many historical relics. The tour will take us through many different rooms. I read about it in the guide. The tour guide will show us around the exhibition rooms, which is mentioned in the travel guide. STUART: Hmm. If that's true, Then the security there must be very good. Stuart: If so, then the security work must be done very well. Because it's strange to think they will let people walk around in the white house. Because it is very strange to let people walk around the White House casually. Sharon: I'm sure the security is very tight. Sharon: I believe the security work must be very strict. Probably they will make us walk through metal detectors like at the airport. It may be necessary to pass through detectors like the airport. STUART: So I can't take my gun then. Stuart: Then I can't carry a gun! SHARON: Don't always joke like that! You don't have a gun. Sharon: Don't always joke like that. You don't have a gun at all. STUA, I recommend an interpretation textbook, Introduction to Interpretation in Han Gang.

A: Hey, John. Having not seen you for a long time, how’s it going?

B: As a matter of fact, I’m not very well.

A: Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that. What’s up?

B: Don’t worry about me.

A: But you look green. Tell me about it.

B: Just get a cold. I will be well soon.

A: This is the second time I heard that you got a cold this month. You know that being ill frequently is not good phenomenon.

B: Thanks for your concern. Frankly, I was in poor health this year and I could do nothing about it.

A: In my opinion, doing exercise regularly is the most effective method to keep fit.

B: What’s your favorite sport? Basketball, baseball, soccer or else?

A: None. I like swim and jog. But my favorite sport is marathon for it can relieve the pressure.

B: Aha? You love marathon? I love it too.

A: What a coincidence! But there is a question comes to me that why don’t you stick to running?

B: I feel lonely because it’s really a long distance. But now, do you mind my joining?

A: Of course not! It’s my pleasure.

B: That’s really good. I will be passionate if you could company with me.

A: Me too. Expect that, we also need a balanced diet.

B: I can’t agree more; tell me what you usually eat for you meals.

A: Well, what’s worth mentioning is that don’t skip breakfast. I eat a lot of fruit vegetables and drink plenty of water everyday. I hardly eat fried food, such as hamburgers, fried potato. You know, water is very important to us. No water, no life. What’s more, fried food isn’t good for our health, either.

B: Great! You really increase my knowledge in eating! To keep fit, I’ll follow you advice.

A: Further more, what I have to say is relaxing. Take time to relax yourself despite of how busy you are! Everyday you must make some time to relax.

B: You’re got a point there. Without health, we couldn’t do anything! I’ll remember this forever! You see, New Year is coming, can we start running together today? I want to get a little more health than now.

A: Sure! Why not! How about running at 9:00 every night? I’ll be at your dorm gate that time.

B: Ok.

A: Don’t forget wear sport clothes, and preparing a coat in order to keep warm after jogging, or your cold will be worse!

B: E. I’ll meet you that time. Don’t miss your time. Haha, see you tonight.

A: See you.
