be cheaper if we take them along.
W: What about buying bikes in Paris? Then we could bring them home at the end of our trip and …
M: Listen! I’d rather ride one I’m familiar with. They go free on most trains…

Conversation 5
M: I’d like to change this CD, please.
W: Well, what exactly is the problem?
M: It was a Christmas present. I asked my mum to buy me a new CD by Chaos Theory, but my mum bought it by mistake. It’s their first CD, not the latest one.
W: I see, so you’d like to exchange it for the right CD, is that right?
M: Well, no, not really, you see I don’t like Chaos Theory any more. I’d like a computer game instead.
W: I see. Well if you have the receipt with you, you can choose the computer gam
e now, and then I will help you change the CD.
Conversation 6
W: I’m doing the research on American author Ernest Hemingway. Could you help me?
M: Sure.
W: I know a little about him already. While he was at school he wrote for the student newspaper, which led him to his first job at the Kansas City Star, a job which was arranged by his uncle.
M: Did you know when he was 18 he tried to join the army? It was the First World War at that time, but he wasn’t allowed to join because of his poor eyesight.
W: He joined the Red Cross instead as an ambulance driver, that’s how he got to Europe. He was seriously wounded by a bomb. After that, he went to work for another newspaper back home in America. Do you know something about his works?
M: Yes. His first important work, The Sun Also Rises, was written in 1926. Three years later, another famous book, A Farewell to Arms was finished. Among his later works, the most outstanding is the short novel, The O
ld Man and the Sea.
Welcome to our program. Today we’ll talk about a famous space explorer, Neil Armstrong.
Neil Armstrong was born on August 5, 1930, in Wapakoneta, Ohio. Armstrong showed a great interest in flying since he was a little child. He experienced his first airplane flight with his father when he was five, and earned his flight certificate at age 15. At age 17, Armstron
g began studying engineering a
t university. Two years later, he joined the Navy. After his service with the Navy as a pilot, he returned to university to study engineering. Then Armstrong became a test pilot in a flight station, and began his astronaut career in 1958.
July 17, 1969 was an unforgettable day in Armstrong’s life. He was sent into space with other two astronauts in Apollo 11, the space flight that would carry men to the first landing on the moon. After four days’ voyage in space, they landed on the moon successfully. Armstrong made “the giant leap for mankind” and became the first man to walk on the moon.
Neil Armstrong died on August 25, 2012. His remarkable life inspires the young people around the world to be willing to explore and push the limits, and to work hard to make their dreams come true.
