Gucci: I've almost finished today's task. I gotta go home and have a good sleep. Oh, I haven't got enough sleep since the beginning of this semester 1.
May: Me too. The college entrance exam is coming. We gotta work harder than ever before, if we want to pass.
Gucci: I don't care about the exam. Are you leaving?
May:No, I gotta stay for a few minutes.
Gucci: But it's getting late. The last bus leaves at 9.m. You will miss it if you don't go now.
May: It's alright. My father is coming to pick me up. I have to memorize these math formulas.
Gucci: Your father has been picking you up everyday since the beginning of this semester, right?
May: Yeah, and my mother takes good care of my daily life, making sure that I eat well and sleep well. My parents have really done a lot for my success in the college entrance exam.
Gucci: What university do you want to go to anyway?
May: I want to go to Tsinghua, It's one of the best universities in China. But it's very hard to get in.
Gucci: I believe you can get in! You are so excellent! And your whole families are working together to support you.
May: Gucci, you don't understand. It's just their hope and support that gives me the pressure. Sometimes I do feel tired and hope they could leave me alone. What if I fail?
Gucci: Don't be silly. You put too much pressure on yourself. Look, you have big dark pouches 3.
May: Oh, my gosh! Does it look serious? I didn't sleep until one o'clock last night.
Gucci: What were you doing up so late at night? Sleep-walking?
May: No, I was studying. I always go to bed after one o'clock recently.
Gucci: May, you are burning yourself out. You really need to relax. Don't give yourself too much pressure. I gotta run or I will miss the bus. Bye!
May: Thank you, Gucci. I will. Bye.

古奇: 今天的任务差不多完成了。我得回家好好睡一觉。自从这个学期开始,我就没有好好睡过觉。
阿美: 我也是。高考马上就要到了,如果我们想通过的话,我们就必须比平时更加努力。
古奇: 我不在乎这个考试。你现在走吗?
阿美: 不,我还得等几分钟。
古奇: 可是很晚了,末班车晚上9点发车。你现在不走的话,就会错过末班车。
阿美: 没关系,爸爸会来接我的。我得把这些数学公式背下来。
古奇: 你爸爸是不是从这学期一开始就每天晚上来接你?
阿美: 是的,我妈妈就负责照顾好我的日常生活,确保我吃得好,睡得好。他们为我能够在高考中取得成功付出了很多。
古奇: 你想去哪所大学?
阿美: 我想去全国最好的大学清华大学,但是很难考上。
古奇: 我相信你能考上。你这么优秀。还有你们全家都在跟你一起并肩作战。
阿美: 古奇,你不明白。正是他们的希望和支持给了我压力。有时候,我感到非常疲倦,只想自己一个人好好静静。如果我考砸了怎么办啊?
古奇: 别说傻话了。你给自己太多的压力了。看你的黑眼圈。
阿美: 噢,天呐!看起来很明显吗?昨天晚上我到1点钟才睡。
古奇: 那么晚才睡,你都干嘛了?梦游?
阿美: 没有,我在学习。最近我总是1点钟以后才睡觉。
古奇: 阿美,你太累了。你需要好好放松。不要给自己太多的压力。我得走了,不然我就赶不上末班车了。再见。
阿美: 谢谢你,古奇,我会的。再见。
