Tom: Have you found the book recommended by Mrs. Li?
Daniel: 30 Nights on Nightmares? No.
Tom: Mrs. Li said it was a good self-help book aiming at those who want to refresh their understanding of basic math.
Daniel: Not conductive to homework or exams?
Tom: She didn’t mention that.
Daniel: I am looking for some books that have keys to our after-class exercises. What’s our homework today, anyway?
Tom: Re-read Chapter 13 and summarize the main content in a diagram, and finish the exercises in Chapter 13.
Daniel: I don’t understand why we must read it again. I understood everything in class.
Tom: Mrs. Li says this second reading will help you consolidate what you’ve learned in class. That’s why we must do homework.
Daniel: But I can’t do my homework without answer keys!
Tom: I think maybe 30 Nights on Math is not bad. Look, it has explanations on every formula in our text book.
Daniel: Oh, that’s good! I have problems with formulas. I will get this book.
Tom: I have little money left. I believe I have seen some pirated versions of this book. They are much cheaper.
Daniel: Don’t buy the pirated books. There are many mistakes in spelling. What’s more, it’s just against law to buy them.
Tom: It’s against law? Oh, I didn’t know it was that serious! But I don’t have enough money for that book.
Daniel: You can sell your Harry Potter to me for cash.
聽看學
湯姆: 你找到李老師推薦的那本書了嗎?
丹尼爾: 《30夜噩夢》?沒有。
湯姆: 李老師說那是一本不錯的自學工具書，意在幫助那些想要鞏固數學基礎的人。
丹尼爾: 對考試和家庭作業沒有指導作用嗎?
湯姆: 她沒說。
丹尼爾: 我在找有我們課后練習答案的書。對了，我們今天的家庭作業是什么?
湯姆: 復習第13章，用一個表格總結主要內容，并完成第13章的練習。
丹尼爾: 我不明白為什么必須再讀一遍。我在課堂上都聽懂了。
湯姆: 李老師說再次閱讀可以幫我們鞏固在課堂中學到的知識。那就是我們要做家庭作業的原因。
丹尼爾: 但是我沒有答案就做不了家庭作業。
湯姆: 我覺得《數學30夜》不錯。看，里面有對課本中每個公式的解釋。
丹尼爾: 噢，那還不錯。我對公式理解得不好，我要買這本書。
湯姆: 我沒剩下多少錢了。我見過這本書的盜版，它們更便宜一些。
丹尼爾: 不要買盜版書，里面有很多拼寫錯誤。此外，買盜版書是違法的。
湯姆: 違法?噢，我不知道有那么嚴重。但是我沒有足夠的錢來買那本書。
丹尼爾: 你可以把你的《哈利.波特》賣給我，我給你錢。
經典背誦 Recitation
Daniel: There is always lots of homework to do, which I hate very much. I think I’ve understood everything taught in class. But the teacher says a second reading will help us remember the information better. So I now have to choose a book with answers to our after-class exercises.
