DIALOGUE

LET ME HELP YOU

(At a street corner)
Woman(looking very worried): Oh, dear! What shall I do?
(Liu Mei is on her way to see a film, but she stops.)
Liu Mei: What's the matter, Granny? Can I help you?
Woman: I'm here to see my husband. He's in hospital. He wrote the name of the hospital in his letter, but I can't find the letter now. What shall I do?
Liu Mei: It's not in any of your pockets?
Woman: No.
Liu Mei: Maybe you put it in your basket.
Woman(looking in her basket): Ah, yes, here it is!
(She shows it to Liu Mei.)
Liu Mei: Yes, this is it.
Woman: How can I get there? I don't know the way.
Liu Mei: I don't, either, Granny. I'll ask the policeman. (Runs to the policeman at the corner.)
Liu Mei: Excuse me, which is the way to the East Street Hospital?
Policeman: Go down this street, then turn right at the second crossing. At the end of the road you'll find the hospital. It's about half an hour's walk. But you can get there by bus.
Liu Mei: Which bus shall I take?
Policeman: The No. 3 bus over there. It'll take you right there.
Liu Mei: Thank you. (Runs back to the old woman.) Granny, the hospital is a bit far from here. Shall we go by bus?
Woman: All right.
(Twenty minutes later the old man finds her husband. How happy they are to see each other!)
Husband: But how did you get here?
Woman: This little girl brought me.
Husband: Which girl?
(They look around but Liu Mei is already gone.)
Woman: What a good girl!
(Liu Mei is very late for the film, but she doesn't mind.)

TEXT

THE MONKEY AND THE CROCODILE

One day a little monkey was playing in a tall tree by the river. A crocodile was swimming slowly near the bank with her baby. She looked around for some food. Suddenly she saw the monkey. "Aha, there's my meal," she thought. She then turned to her son, "Do you love me, Son?"
"Why, of course, Mum!" the baby crocodile said.
"Well then, you catch that monkey and give me his heart to eat."
"But how can I?" the baby crocodile asked. "Monkeys can't swim, and I can't climb trees."
"You needn't climb the tree," his mother said. "Use your head, then you'll find a way."
The baby crocodile thought hard. Then he had an idea. He swam near the tree and shouted, "Hey, Monkey! Would you like some bananas?"
"Bananas! Mm! I love them," said the monkey. "But where are they?"
"On the other side of the river. There are some banana trees there, and they have lots of bananas on them. I'll take you there on my back."
"Good," the monkey came down and jumped onto the crocodile's back.
Soon they were in the middle of the river. Suddenly the crocodile went down under the water. When he came up again, the monkey was all wet. "Don't do that!" the monkey cried. "Don't do that again! I can't swim, you know."
"I know, but I have to," answered the crocodile. "My mother wants to eat your heart."
The little monkey was clever. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" he asked.
"My heart isn't here with me. I left it in that tree over there."
"Then we'll have to go back for it. Mother doesn't want you without your heart." The crocodile turned and swam back to the bank.
Soon they reached the bank. The monkey jumped off the crocodile at once, picked up a big stone and quickly climbed up the tree. The crocodile waited for the monkey to come down again. He waited and waited. As he was waiting, he suddenly heard a voice from above:
"Hey, Crocodile!"
The crocodile looked up. The monkey was hanging from the tree by his tail and laughing.
"Here's my heart. Come up and get it. Don't keep your mother waiting … You can't come up? Well, catch!"
With these words, he threw the big stone at the crocodile.

IT'S UNFAIR

Jenny was a good girl, but she had one shortcoming. She was often late for school. One morning when she came in late, Mr Black, her teacher, got angry.
"I'll write to your father if you aren't here on time tomorrow," he told her. Jenny didn't want him to do that because her parents were very strict with her.
The next day she got up very early and went to school without breakfast. When the bell rang, she was waiting in her seat. The door opened and the teacher came in. But it wasn't Mr Black. It was Miss Green. Mr Black was ill, so she was taking his class instead. How disappointed Jenny was!
The next morning Jenny got up even earlier. After a quick breakfast she hurried to school. Just before she got to the school gate, she stopped. There was a wallet lying on the ground.
She picked it up. "Whose is this?" she wondered.
As she stood there, she heard the first bell. "What shall I do?" she asked herself. "I'll turn it in first," she decided. And so she did.
When she hurried into her classroom, Mr Black was already beginning his lesson.
"Jenny White," he said as soon as he saw her. "Didn't I tell you to be here on time?"
"I'm sorry, sir," Jenny tried to explaim. "I was late because I had to …"
"I will not listen to any excuse," Mr Black stopped her. "If you can't get here on time, I'll have to write to your father."
"But Mr Black, that's … that's unfair!"
"Unfair! How dare you say that?" Mr Black said angrily. "I'll report you to the headmaster!"
"I was only trying to do a good deed," Jenny thought, "and now …" She couldn't keep back her tears.
As soon as the bell rang for the break, the door opened and in came Mr Smith, the headmaster. He was holding a wallet in his hand. "Excuse me, Mr Black," he said, "but is this wallet yours?"
"Why, yes. It is mine." Mr Black was surprised. "I didn't know I lost it."
"One of our girls found it and turned it in just before school started," Mr Smith said.
"Oh? Who was it?" Mr Black asked. "I must thank her."
"It was Jenny White."
Mr Black's face slowly turned red. He looked at Jenny and said, "I'm very sorry, Jenny. I take back what I said."
"And I'm sorry, Mr Black, I'll try not to be late again," Jenny said.

LESSON SIX

The Sixth Lesson

TEXT

THE RAILS SING

This story is about a bright boy in a smll village in Europe. He worked in a town far away. Every day he went there by train.
In those days, trains ran very slowly. Few People liked taking trains. But this boy didn't mind because he enjoyed listening to the click, click of the rails.
One evening after work, the boy was going home on the train. He sat in his seat quietly. He was listening to the click of the rails. Suddenly there was a break in the singing of the rails.
"Something is wrong," said the boy to himself.
He stood up. "Stop the train!" he cried.
"Something is wrong with that boy," someone said.
One man shouted at the boy, "Be quiet, boy! What's the matter with your?"
Another man said, "Don't be foolish, boy!"
But the boy would not be quiet. "Stop the train! Stop the train! There's danger ahead!" he cried.
He went to look for the conductor of the train.
"Conductor," he said when he found the man. "Please listen to the click of the rails. Something is wrong."
The conductor listened. Then he said, "You're quite right, boy. We must stop the train."
The train stopped. The conductor got off and checked the rails.
When he got on the train again, he said to the others, "The boy was right. There's something wrong with one of the rails about thirty metres ahead. He saved our lives."
This boy later became a musician. Many people like his music. When you listen to one of his pieces, you can hear click, click, click. It sounds like the singing of rails.

DIALOGUE

WHAT'S WRONG WITH TOM?

Tom was very quiet this morning. He said he felt sick. "Oh, ooh! I feel terrible," he said. "Mum, I can't go to school today." So his mother took him to see the doctor.
(At the doctor's.)
Mother: Good morning, Doctor.
Doctor: Good morning, Mrs Brown. Good morning, Tom. What's your trouble, Young man?
Tom: I … I've got a headache and … (Begins to cough.)
Mother: Why, Tom, you're coughing too!
Tom: Ooh … I feel terrible!
Doctor: Have you taken his temperature?
Mother: Yes, I have. He hasn't got a fever.
Doctor: Tom, open your mouth and say "ahh".

Doctor(to Tom's mother): How long has he been like this?
Mother: Ever since this morning.
Doctor: Has he had anything to eat?
Mother: He's had some bread, two eggs, a glass of milk and an orange.
Doctor: Did you give him any medicine?
Mother: No. He hasn't had any medicine.
Doctor: Mmm. How are you feeling now, young man?
Tom: Very bad, Doctor. In fact, I feel even worse. Ooh! Ooh! I think I'm going to die.
Doctor: Die! You won't die, Tom. You'll be all right soon.
Mother: So it's nothing serious, Doctor?
Doctor: No. Your son will be all right by supper time. Tom's trouble is very common to boys these days. It comes and goes very quickly.
Mother: But I don't understand, Doctor.
Doctor: This afternoon, the biggest football game of the year will be on TV. If your son feels well enough to watch TV by then, he'll be fine after the game. You wait and see.
Mother: Oh, I see! Thank you very much, Doctor. Come along, Tom.
Doctor: Goodbye!
