Gucci: What did the boss say?
May: He asked me if I’d like to be a newspaper salesperson?
Gucci: You are still student so I don’t think you should have time for that.
May: Don’t worry about that. He said I can do that at spare time. Anyway, it’s just a part-time job.
Gucci: Okay, then. What kind of newspaper he wants you to sell?
May: It’s a weekly newspaper named “Olympic English”. So I need to be here only on Sunday.
Gucci: Sounds interesting. Especially that we are Olympic Volunteers.
May: That’s exactly what I am thinking about, And also it’s a good way to get social experiences.
Gucci: And a good way to get some pocket money.
May: Let’s do it together.
Gucci: I’ll say yes. Wait a minute. I need an IC card.
May: For what? You have a telephone at home, don’t you?
Gucci: Yes, but I don’t want my Mom to tap my phone when I call Clive.

古奇：老板说什么?
阿美：他问我愿不愿意做报纸促销员?
古奇：你还是学生怎么会有时间做这个。
阿美：这个倒不用担心。他说我可以用空余时间做。不管怎样，只是个兼职啊。
古奇：那挺好的。他想让你卖什么样的报纸呢?
阿美：是一份叫《奥运英语》的周刊。所以我只需要每个周日来这里就可以了。
古奇：听起来很有趣。尤其是我们还是奥运志愿者。
阿美：我也是这么想的。这也是增长社会经验的好方法。
古奇：同时也是挣点零花钱的好方法。
阿美：那让我们一起做吧。
古奇：我同意啊。等一下，我要买一张IC卡。
阿美：为什么?你们家有电话机，不是吗?
古奇：是的，但是我给克莱夫打电话的时候我不想让我妈妈偷听啊。
经典背诵 Recitation
Gucci: My mom taps my phone when I call my boyfriend which makes me upset. So I’ve decided to use the IC card. It’s convenient, cheap and also safe. You can buy them everywhere, even at the newsstands. It’s funny that I got a part-time job last time when I was buying an IC card.
