– David: Excuse me, could you please tell me how to get to Piccadilly Circus ?
– ?: Of course! Take the yellow “Circle Line” in the direction of “King’s Cross St Pancras”
and get off at “King’s Cross” station. Once there, switch to the blue line called the
“Piccadilly Line” towards Heathrow and get off at Piccadilly Circus. It’s very easy!
– David: Thank you!
– ?: You’re welcome!
– David: OK, I think that I will look at the map…

– David: I live in New York.
– ?: Awesome! It’s always been my dream to visit your city. I want to learn more about it.
– David: It’s a very exciting place with a lot of things to see and do.
– ?: That sounds awesome. I definitely want to go there.
– David: First I want to become fluent.

David is videocalling Alex.
– David: Hi, Alex.
– Alex: Hi, David.
– David: So did you surf today?
– Alex: Unfortunately no. It rained all day long.
– David: Oh. Is that usual in your area?
– Alex: Yes, it doesn’t get too cold in the winter, but it rains a lot. Sometimes we get severe storms.
– David: We don’t wear heavy coats like in other countries but we always carry an umbrella.
– Alex: And it’s like that throughout the country?
– David: No, the south stays dry in the winter, but the temperatures are really low. It’s weird because it’s always
sunny there, but it’s freezing!
– Alex: Wow! I hate cold winters, when it’s gray and windy. That’s so depressing. But I do like the snow!
– David: Me too. Do you ski?
– Alex: Yes, I do. It’s really fun.
– David: So, how’s the weather where you live?
– Alex: Well, sometimes it gets very windy here, you know. That kind of weather is not fun. But in the
summer, it stays warm and sunny. It’s my favorite season.
– David: Mine is the spring.
– Alex: That’s when the weather is perfect here. Not too hot, not too cold. Perfect for surfing.

My head hurts. I can not see, but I hear someone…

– ?: Not very good, my head hurts.
– Doctor: I see. And what’s your name?

– ?: Why can I not remember my name? What is wrong with me?
– Doctor: Hmm, you don’t remember your name?
– ?: No, I remember nothing.
– Doctor: Sir, I think you have amnesia. You hit your head…
– ?: Where am I?
– Doctor: You’re in the New York City public hospital.
– ?: New York? In America?
– Doctor: Yes, in the United States of America!
– ?: But why am I in America?
– Doctor: I have no idea, but I can hear that English is not your first language. You really don’t have an accent
but I can hear that you’re not American.
– Doctor: I think you’re from a different country. Where are you from?
– ?: I cannot remember anything. And my head hurts… May I have a drink, please?
– Doctor: Here is a glass of water and some Aspirin.
– ?: Thank you.
– I drink the glass of water. I am scared.
– ?: Doctor, I am alone, and I am not in my country. I do not remember anything, not even my name.
– Doctor: Yes, this is a big problem. But I have an idea. There are some papers and keys in your pockets. You
are also wearing expensive clothes. Maybe you have an important job. Look at this piece of paper, maybe it
can help you remember something.
– I look at it. There is an address in New York. The doctor gives me the keys.
– ?: Mmmm, this does not help, I still do not remember anything…
– Doctor: I’m very sorry, but someone needs to pay your hospital bill.
– I am scared, and I also start to get angry.
– ?: Really? You are thinking about money right now? My head hurts a lot, I am alone, I am not in my
country, and I cannot remember anything! You do not understand. I am scared.
– Doctor: Yes, I can imagine. I’m really sorry. We want to help you.
– ?: OK, then please help me. I want to go to the address on this piece of paper. I need to find a friend or a
family member.
– Doctor: I’m sorry, you can’t leave until tomorrow. But other than this amnesia problem, you’re
very healthy. So tomorrow morning, I can ask someone to go with you to this address. It’s not far.
– ?: Thank you very much doctor. I really want to remember everything and find my family tomorrow.
– Doctor: Yes, we hope so, too. OK, now you need to sleep. Tomorrow is a big day for you.
– ?: Yes, I am very sleepy.
– Doctor: So, goodnight.
– ?: Thank you, doctor. Goodnight.

Aesop's Fables:
The Swallow and the Other Birds
"Beware of that man," quoth the Swallow. "Why, what is he doing?" said the others. "That is hemp seed he is
sowing; be careful to pick up every one of the seeds, or else you will repent it."
The birds paid no heed to the Swallow's words, and by and by the hemp grew up and was made into cord, and
of the cords nets were made, and many a bird that had despised the Swallow's advice was caught in nets made
out of that very hemp.

I confess: I have more clothes than my wife, so my closet is enormous and her is not. Our kids are not very organized,
but they clean their closet. I never look at theirs! My son’s are full of sports equipment too – balls, rackets, skis, etc,
Horrible!
Posted by Tanya.
In my house, we don’t say “mine” or “yours”. Everything is ours. Our closet is small but clean and organized. We share
space and clothes. We occasionaly have a discussion like this : “Whose sweter is this?” “It’s yours” “No, it’s yours!”
A big advantage of living with your twin sister!
