Dear fellow students,
This is Li Hua. I am excited to announce that our newly constructed indoor
swimming pool is about to open its doors to everyone!
The swimming pool will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on a daily basis. Before
you dive in, remember to follow the safety guidelines posted around the pool area.

The man looked surprised. “Twenty years ago I came here for my thirteenth
birthday,” Jean explained. “You spoke to Mr. Fargonetti and he gave us a wonderful
lunch for free. I’m so glad to have an opportunity to thank you!” Carl smiled,
remembering Jean. He told Jean that Mr Fargonetti passed away five years ago, and
he left Carl the restaurant. Carl had promised he would keep it going, and he tried, but
it wasn’t that easy. Their chef left and the replacement was a disaster.
Jean was staring at Carl and a brilliant idea was taking shape in her mind. “I’m
Jean Earl, a chef. ” she said. “ I’ll turn Fargonetti’s around for Mr Fargonetti!” Carl
stared at Jean in disbelief. He knew of Jean’s reputation and was concerned he

couldn’t afford her service. However, Jean simply wanted to help without any
expectation of payment. She turned down the contract she had been offered and
worked at Fargonetti’s. Gradually, the old restaurant was fully booked again. A simple
act of kindness has the power to transform lives, bringing good fortune not only to the
receiver but also to those who give it.

M:Linda,could I check out this book?
W:I remember you haven't had a library card,have you?
M:No,I haven't.How can I get a library card?
W:If you have your Identity Card with you,we can apply for one right now.
M:Yes,here it is.
W:By the way,there are some rules you'll have to bear in mind.First,books can only be kept
for a week.But you can renew them.This is very important,because if you don't return a book
on time,you will have to pay a fine.Five cents per day for each book.Now,let's go to the coffee
shop on the second floor.We'll have to get a copy of your ID card first.
M:It's really a privilege to be in the same school with you.

W:Doctor Rita’s office.
M:This is Peter Jones.I'd like to make an appointment for a checkup,please.I've just moved in
Los Angles for a job switch and my new company needs a thorough medical examination.
M:Welcome,Mr.Jones.Companies usually want a fairly complete examination.So that means
you'll have to come in the morning and don't eat or drink anything after midnight the night
before.When would you like to come in?
M:Anytime this week.I don't have to go into the office until next Monday.
W:Will 9.00 a.m.Thursday be convenient?
M:No problem.Oh,I forgot.We'll have a meeting with my children's new headmaster that
morning.That's at 11.
W:What school is that?
M:Beverly Hills High School.
W:Oh,that's no problem.The whole examination will take about an hour,maybe a bit more and
the school is only two blocks from here.A 3-minute walk.So,you will have plenty of time.
M:That's good.So,9.00 a.m.Thursday.
W:How would you like to get the report?We can either telephone to tell you or e-mail you or
you can visit our app and download it.
M:Send it to pjones12@hotspot.com.
