AT THE LIBRARY
It's four o'clock in the afternoon. Liu Ying is at the library. She's going to borrow some books. She's speaking to the assistant.
Liu Ying: Good afternoon!
Assistant: Good afternoon! Can I help you?
Liu Ying: Do you have "From Earth to Moon"?
Assistant: Let me see … Ah, here it is.
Liu Ying: Thank you. How long may I keep it?
Assistant: Two weeks.
Liu Ying: Can I keep it a little longer?

Liu Ying: Must I bring the book back for that?
Assistant: Yes, you must. And you mustn't lend it to others.
Liu Ying: All right, I won't. May I look at some of the new books?
Assistant: Certainly. They're over there.

MY BOOK I will not spoil this little book, Nor drop it on the floor; I will not turn its corners down, To spoil it more and more. My book's a little friend to me, And so a friend to it I'll be.
