Alfred: This party is such a great idea!
Gina: I agree. It’s been three years since we last saw our primary school classmates.
Alfred: It’s interesting to see how people have changed.
Gina: Billy has changed so much! He used to be so shy and quiet.
Alfred: Yeah, his face always turned red when he talked to girls!
Gina: I used to see him reading in the library every day.
Alfred: That’s because he was a really good student. He studied hard and got good scores on his exams.
Gina: Did he use to wear glasses?
Alfred: Yes, and he used to be thin, too. But look how big and strong he is now!

Jack: Annie, I’m a little nervous. I have to finish reading a book and give a report next Monday.
Annie: That doesn’t sound too bad.
Jack: But I’m a very slow reader.
Annie: For the first time, just read quickly to get the main ideas. Don’t read word by word, read word groups.
Jack: But I don’t understand many of the words. I have to use a dictionary.
Annie: Try to guess a word’s meaning by reading the sentences before and after it. You probably understand more than you think.
Jack: That sounds difficult!
Annie: Well, be patient. It takes time. You can become better by reading something you enjoy every day. The more you read, the faster you’ll be.

Clara: Guess what? I’m going to Chiang Mai in two weeks.
Ben: Wow, sounds like fun! But I believe that April is the hottest month of the year there.
Clara: Yes, that’s true. But there’s a water festival there from April 13th to 15th.
Ben: I wonder if it’s similar to the Water Festival of the Dai people in Yunnan Province.
Clara: Yes, I think so. This is the time of the Thai New Year. People go on the streets to throw water at each other.
Ben: Cool! But why do they do that?
Clara: Because the new year is a time for cleaning and washing away bad things. Then you’ll have good luck in the new year.

Henry came to a small town for a holiday. The next day he was not feeling well, so he decided to see a doctor. As he was new here, he stopped an old man in the street and said, “I want to see a doctor. Can you tell me the name of one?”
The old man thought over and said, “Dr. Grey I think, is good .He is at 278, near the end of the street.”
Henry said, “Thank you very much. Is he expensive?” “Well,” the old man answered, “he always asks his patient for two pounds for the first visit. One and a half pounds for the later visit.” Henry decided to save a half pound, so when he went to see the doctor, he said, “I’ve come again, doctor.” For a few seconds the doctor looked at his face carefully without saying anything. Then he said, “Everything’s going as it should do. Oh, you look much better. I gave you medicine last time, just go on with it.”
