[00:11.99]A.I hear you are very keen on ballet. Have you been to China Theatre?

[00:19.72]B: Not yet. We've been very busy all this week.

[00:23.51]A. I'd suggest a visit to China Theatre tonight.

[00:27.48]B: That would be great. What's on tonight?

[00:36.75](Li Hong and Mr. Black are in the theatre.)

[00:41.80]Li Hong:  Did you watch TV last night, Mr. Black?

[00:44.90]Mr. Black: I did, and I very much enjoyed the folk song and dance show. I thought they were very artistic.

[00:52.95]Li Hong:  I'm glad you appreciate our folk music. But a live perfor mance is much more interesting.

[00:59.35]Mr. Black: I can't wait to see it start. When does the show begin?

[01:03.87]Li Hong:  The show starts at 7 and is over at around 10 o' clock p. m.

[01:08.78](After the show)

[01:11.08]Li Hong:  What do you think of the performance, Mr. Black?

[01:15.05]Mr. Black: It' s an excellent musical. The acting was very expressive  and the songs and dancing were superb.

[01:30.36]Mr. Black: What do you think of the leading actors?

[01:33.44]Li Hong:  Personally I liked the main character. He was true to type.

[01:38.12]Mr. Black: You are a better judge. I don' t know the play well enough.

[01:42.06]207 Television

[01:47.76]What do you think of the TV news report?

[01:53.97]I think the news reports are excellent.

[01:55.96]A. Cathy, what do you think of today's TV programs?

[02:01.13]B: Well, if you ask me, it' s terrible. Most of the TV programs are a complete waste of time.

[02:07.61]A: Ben, how do you feel about them?

[02:11.58]C: In general, I agree with Cathy. But what bothers me more is that they are too violent.

[02:19.65]D:I think so too. As far as I am concerned, there are too many police shows and not enough educational programs.

[02:29.00]A: What about the news reports?

[02:31.88]B.I think the news reports are excellent. Presenting the news is what TV does best.

[02:38.46](Watching TV)

[02:41.36]James: Chris, let me see the TV guide. Thanks Oh, you can forget The King and I.

[02:49.64]Kindergarten Cop is on. I've already seen it  but it's fantastic.

[02:54.60]Really funny and exciting. Schwarzenegger's in it--and I know you like him. Come on, let's watch that...

[03:02.62]Chris: I' d rather watch something a bit more gentle and sentimental like The King and I.

[03:09.54]James: Oh, please, let's watch Kindergarten Cap. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

[03:15.32]Chris: But The king and I will be fun too. What time are they on? Maybe we can watch them both.

[03:22.00]James: No, I'm afraid they clash. But, look, Kindergarten Cop starts before The King and I.

[03:29.89]So, why don't we start off watching Kindergarten Cap and see how we go?

[03:34.36]You'll probably get totally absorbed in it.

[03:38.02]Chris: I'm not so sure I like that idea. Yes, I may find I like it--but

[03:45.02]what if I don' t? I know I'll have a dreadful battle with you if I want to switch over to...

[03:51.81]James: You might be right about that. But I'll lay money on it, you'll love Kindergarten Cop...

[03:56.93]Chris: You win, for the moment . .. but I'm warning you,

[04:03.59]if I don' t like Kindergarten cop, I'm definitely going to switch over to The King and I.

[04:08.03]208 Film

[04:11.56]Do you like to go to movies?

[04:48.78]Mr. Banks: There's a cowboy film on at the Moon Theatre and I understand that it is very exalting.

[04:56.91]Mrs. Banks: I'm tired of cowboys and Indians as all those films are the same. What else is showing?

[05:03.73]Mr. Banks: At the Star Theatre, there is a war film but you don't usually like that kind.

[05:10.80]Mrs. Banks: You're quite right.

[05:17.07]I like to see something that will cheer Me up, not make me feel miserable.

[05:22.46]The world's full of tragedy already without having to pay money to see a film about it.

[05:26.82]Mr. Banks: Well, then, the film for you is the comedy being shown at the Regal.

[05:29.04]Mrs. Banks: I read about that in the newspaper and my favorite comedian is in it.

[05:37.71]He is a wonderful actor apart from being so funny.

[05:40.14]The leading lady in the film is also one of my favorites so I should enjoy it very much.

[05:45.65]Mr. Banks: I don' t care who the star of the show is, as long as it is good entertainment.

[05:51.66]Mrs. Banks: If I don' t like the leading actor and actress,

[05:57.43]I never like the film, as I think the film stars are the main attraction.

[06:00.54]I think this film is a musical as well as being a comedy and that is the ideal combination.

[06:59.11]but I can' t understand any of it.. Is there anything available in English?

[07:22.12]It covers all the usual areas: home news, international news, polities, culture, education, sports and so on.

[07:31.32]Tony: It sounds ideal.., but how can I get hold of it?

[07:35.81]Xiao Li: You can subscribe to it at any main post office, I think. I could go with you ff you like...

[07:42.92]Tony:  I'm not really going to be here long enough to make a subscription worthwhile.

[07:46.83]But are there any other possibilities?

[07:49.84]Xiao Li: Yes... there's "Beijing Review", ff you' d prefer a magazine. It's published weekdy...

[07:57.36]I'm not sure what it's like but it's probably the oldest English language magazine in China.

[08:03.45]Tony: That' s fairly attractive, isn't it? Do you think they have them in the library?

[08:09.53]Xiao Li: Yes. So, if you want, you can go and read it there. Let's go and I can show you where they are.

[08:17.97]Tony: Thank you very much.

[09:32.55]Sue: No, no, no, what you asked is really a very interesting question.Automatics are OK, except for special effects.

[09:43.55]Anne: Oh, and it... listen, there's something else I am wondering about--like, should you do all your own developing?

[09:53.50]Sue: Oh no! You don' t have to develop your own. You can get good prints ff you send them out.

[10:00.92]Anne: No kidding! Could you tell me something more about it--like,

[10:06.96]if I was going to set up a darkroom, what would I really be using it for? What kind of equipment would I need?

[10:15.44]Sue: Oh, well, you' d need your enlarger, and.., and chemicals,

[10:23.07]but actually developing is only cheaper when you're doing a lot of enlargements.

[16:06.87]B: I make them, but I break them the next day. Are you making any, Mary?

[16:13.35]A: Yes, but I can't tell you what they are.

[16:15.54]B: You'd better make one about losing 20 or 30 pounds.

[16:20.01]A: Meanie! You'd better make one about saying nice things to girls.

[16:24.66](The following is a conversation on different wedding customs.)

[16:30.59]Usha:  Most of the Indian marriages work out very well, I think, although they are arranged.

[16:38.53]Hanne: How was yours? A nice big wedding?

[16:40.93]Usha:  Yes. Most Indian marriages are elaborate marriages.

[16:44.75]My marriage went on for three days and we had a lot of guests as well.

[16:49.92]Hanne: How many people were there?

[16:52.40]Usha:  Well, in my marriage, we had about two thousand guests.

[16:56.79]Hanne: Oh! Unimaginable!

[16:59.32]Usha:  The interesting thing about it is in Indian marriages even the very poor man has about a hundred guests.

[17:07.03]And it depends on his status in the society. How about marriages in Denmark?.

[17:12.88]Hanne: Well, people don' t make much ado about it. Most people just  move in together.

[17:21.50]They don' t even bother to get a license. This especially happened" some years ago.

[17:26.96]That has caused lots of legal confusion. They tend to get married more often now.

[18:07.37]B: Why do you want to quit? I thought you liked to smoke.

[18:11.37]A:I do. But it's getting so expensive. And now I'm jogging, when I run I can hardly breathe.

[18:18.95]B:I'II help you quit. Whenever you want a cigarette, call me and I'll take your mind off it.

[18:25.92]A: Thanks, Jenny. I'll do it.

[18:27.98](The easiest thing in the world to give up.)

[18:38.46]Bill.  Really? Why?

[18:46.77]Bill.  I see. You mean you don' t enjoy smoking any more?

[18:51.81]Helen: That's right. You should give it up, too. It's bad for your health.

[18:56.93]Bill.  Stop talking like my mother. That's what she keeps saying.

[19:01.58]Helen: But it's true. It's a nasty habit. I can' t think why I ever started.

[19:05.23]Anyway, it' s obviously got you in its grip!

[19:11.48]Bill: What do you mean? What are you talking about?

[24:28.21]Doctor Hill: Congratulations, Zhang Ming! Beijing has just won the bid for the host of 2008 Olympic Games.

[24:38.58]Zhang Ming: Thank you. At last! It was really exciting. I couldn't help feeling extremely proud of my country.

[24:46.42]Doter Hill: It is the second time for Beijing to bid for the host of Olympic Games, right?

[24:51.96]Zhang Ming: Yes, Sidney barely beat Beijing and became the host of 2000 Olympic Games.

[24:58.54]Doter Hill: Hard luck. But this time your dream became true eventually. You had an overwhelming victory,

[25:05.52]Zhang Ming: Without the help of our friends, we couldn't win the victoryso easily.

[25:10.48]Doctor Hill: But I think it is mainly because Beijing has convinced most of the representatives

[25:16.36]that it is good enough to hold a suecessful Olympic Games.

[25:19.75]Zhang Ming: Quite right. I'm certain that it will be one of the most successful Olympic Games ever held in history.

[25:27.38]I hope you can come to Beijing at that time.

[25:30.38]Doctor Hill: To be frank, I' m really looking forward to it.

[25:34.67]219 Bridge

[25:44.31]Would you please tell me the card playing terms in English?

[25:47.15]There are four suits in bridge. They are diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs.

[25:53.35]A: Would you please tell me the card playing terms in English?

[26:00.16]B: Certainly. There are four suits in Bridge. Diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs.

[26:06.30]A: Okay, I've got that.

[26:08.89]B: After dealing, we start the bidding to decide which suit is trumps

[26:13.64](Li Hong likes playing Bridge. He is discussing with Tom the, ten-as in English)

[26:23.70]Tom: Hello, Li Hong, I hear you' ve decided to join our Bridge Club.

[26:28.74]Li Hong. Yes, Tom, but I have a slight problem. Would you please tell me the terms in English?

[26:35.25]Tom: No problem. First of all let' s begin with a pack of cards, that is, the whole collection of cards.

[26:44.89]Li Hong: Well, I brought a pack with me actually. Here you are.

[26:49.95]Tom: Oh, great. Now, there are four suits in Bridge. They are diamonds, hearts, spades, and dubs.

[26:59.38]Li Hong: Okay, I've got that.

[27:00.58]Tom: Before you play, you have to shuffle all the cards. Oh, I see you're quite an expert shuffler!

[27:08.53]Li Hong: Well, I've had plenty of practice. What's next?

[27:11.53]Tom: That' s dealing. Then we start the bidding to deride which suit is trumps.

[27:18.24]Li Hong: Trump? Does it mean the suit has a higher value than the others?

[27:23.42]Tom: Correct. You can put down a tromp to win a trick over other suits if you haven' t any of these.

[27:30.99]Li Hong: Now you play by the roles, right?

[27:33.94]Tom: Yes, the rules of the game must be obeyed. But there is another set of rules that are not fixed,

[27:41.02]but are agreed to by the player, and they're called conventions.

[27:45.33]Li Hong: Oh, yes, they're very complicated in Bridge, you'll have to tell me which ones you use.

[27:52.57]Tom: Well, I'll explain that when we start playing. So, I'm looking forward to having you as my partner.

[28:00.04]I think together we can beat all the others!
