Hello. It's a beautiful day, isn't it？ |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MAN 3: |
Yes, but it looks like rain. Do you think it will rain?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
I don't think it will rain today. Do you come to the park often?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MAN 3: |
Yes. We live nearby.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Why do you come to the park?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

We like birds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

What do you mean we like birds?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MAN 3: |
My wife and I like birds. We come here to see the birds.
|

Where is your wife now?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MAN 3: |
She went to the car to get our food. We're going to eat in the park.
We like to bring our food to the park. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Where do you eat?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MAN 3: |
There are nice places. There are tables near the lake. And some by
the river. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

Enjoy your lunch.

WOMAN 2: |
Hi. Do you know where the waterfall is?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Straight ahead. It's about a half a mile that way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WOMAN 2: |
Thanks. It's a beautiful day, isn't it? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Not
bad. It's a little cold. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
WOMAN 2: |
Oh,
I like that. I like cold weather. I don't like summer. It's too hot.
Don't you like cold weather？ |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
No,
not very much. Do you come here in the winter? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
WOMAN 2: |
Yes. I like the park in winter. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Why? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
WOMAN 2: |
It's so clean. There aren't any leaves. There aren't many people.
Winter is the best time in the park. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Do
you like snow? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
WOMAN 2: |
I
like a little snow. My husband likes snow. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Why
do you like the park in the snow? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
WOMAN 2: |
I
like the trees in winter. I like the hills. You can see very far. We
see animals in the winter. Do you come here in winter? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
No,
I don't live here. I live in Baltimore. It's too far. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
WOMAN 2: |
Well, enjoy your day. We're going to the waterfall. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
It's very nice. Have a good day. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

Thanks. |
