（高小音跟弟弟高文中聊到天气）
今天天气比昨天好，不下雪了。我约了朋友明天去公园滑冰，不知道天气会怎么样，冷不冷？我刚才看了网上的天气预报，明天天气比今天更好。不但不会下雪，而且会暖和一点儿。是吗？太好了！你约了谁去滑冰？白英爱。你约了白英爱？可是她今天早上坐飞机去纽约了。真的啊？那我明天怎么办？你还是在家看电视吧!

(Gao Xiao Yin talks with her little brother Gao Wen Zhong about the upcoming weather)
Today’s weather is better than yesterday’s. It didn’t snow. I invited a friend to go ice skating in the park, but I don’t know what the weather will be like. Will it be cold? I just watched the online weather forecast. Tomorrow’s weather is much better than today’s. Not only is it not going to snow, but it’s also going to be a bit warmer. Really? That’s great! Who did you invite ice skating? Bai Ying Ai. You invited Bai Ying Ai? She just flew to New York this morning. Really?? Then what am I supposed to do tomorrow? You’d be better off staying at home to watch TV!

(高文中在网上找白英爱聊天儿）
英爱，纽约那什么好玩儿，你怎么在网上，没出去? 这儿的天气非常糟糕。怎么了？昨天下大雨，今天又下雨了。这个周末这儿天气很好，你快一点儿回来吧。这个周末纽约也会暖和一点儿。我下个星期有一个面试，还不能回去。我在加州找了一个工作，你也去吧。加州冬天不冷，夏天不热，春天和秋天跟舒服。加州好是好，可是我更喜欢纽约。

(Gao Wen Zhong finds Bai Ying Ai on the internet to chat)
Ying Ai, there’s so many fun things to do in New York. How come you’re on the internet? Are you not going out? The weather here is terrible. How come? Yesterday there was heavy rain, and it rained again today. This weekend the weather here is great, you should hurry back quickly. The weather in New York is a bit warmer this weekend. I have an interview to attend next week, so I cannot go back yet. I found some work in California, you should check it out too. California winters aren’t cold, the summer isn’t hot, and Spring and Fall are both comfortable. California is great, but I like New York more.

Little Bai, is class over? Where are you headed? Hello, Mrs. Chang. I want to go to the computer, but I don't know how to get there. I heard it's right beside the sports field. The computer lab isn't as far as the sports field. Do you know where the school library is? I know, it's not too far from Wang Peng's dorm. The computer lab is very close to the school library. It's in-between the library and the student activity center. Mrs. Chang, where are you heading? I want to go to the school bookstore to buy books. Where is that place? It's inside the student activity center. Let's go together. Okay!

(高文中找王朋去中国城吃饭）
我们去中国城吃中国反吧！我没去过中国城，不知道中国城在哪儿。没问题，你开车，我告诉你怎么走。你有谷歌地图吗？拿给我看看。手机在宿舍里，我忘了带了。没有地图，走错了怎么办？没有地图没关系，中国城我去过很多次，不用地图也能找到。你从这儿一直往南开，到第三个路口，往四一拐就到了。哎，我不知道东南西北。那你一直往前开，到第三个红绿灯，往右一拐就到了。
(Gao Wen Zhong asked Wang Peng to go eat in China Town)
Let's go to China Town for Chinese food! I've never been to China Town, so I don't know where it is located. No problem, you drive, I'll tell you where to go. Do you have Google Maps? Let me take a look. My phone is at the dorm, I forgot to bring it. How will we know what to do if we have no map? Don't worry. I've been to China town multiple times, so we don't need the map in order to find it. From here drive straight south. Once you reach the third intersection, make one turn to the west. Then you've arrived. Ah, I don't know the cardinal directions. Then drive straight ahead. Once you hit the traffic light, make one right turn and you've arrived.

Wang Peng, what are you up to? I am reading. Little Yin is celebrating her birthday today. We're throwing a dance party at her home tonight. Can you go? I can. What time? 7pm. We're first going to eat, after eating we will sing and dance. Who all is going? Xiao Yin and her boyfriend, her older female cousin, Bai Ying Ai, your little sister Wang Hong, and I also heard that Xiao Yin's Chinese classmates will be attending. What are you gifting her as a birthday present? I bought a book to give to her. Then what should I bring? Drinks or fruit would both work. Then I will bring some drinks and also buy a bundle of flowers. Xiao Yin loves to eat fruit, I'll buy some apples, pears, and watermelon then. Your place is quite far from Xiao Yin's home, and the fruit is heavy. I'll drive over to pick you up. Let's go together. Okay. I'll wait for you on the bottom floor at 6:30.

I also watch two hours of English tv shows. Ai, when did you two arrive? Just now. Bai Ying Ai didn't come with you? She's still not here? I assumed she was already here. Wang Peng, LiYou, come here, let me introduce you. This is my older cousin Helen, and this is her son TangMu. Hello, Helen. Hi, Wang Peng. Wen Zhong and XiaoYin both say that you're really smart and hard working. Where (joking). You're Chinese is really good. Where did you study the language? In a summer class. Ai, TangMu grew up so cute. You all look, he laughed. How old is he? He just turned one. He was born last year in the year of the dog. You all look. TangMu's face is really round, his eyes are big, his nose is tall, his mouth isn't too big or too small. He really grew up to look like Helen.

(The patient visits the doctor.)
Doctor, my stomach is killing me. What did you eat last night? My sister celebrated her birthday last week. We never finished the cake. I ate many pieces last night, so late at night my stomach began to hurt. This morning, I went to the bathroom multiple times. Where did you put the cake? I put it in the fridge. For how many days? 6 or 7. Do you have a fever? No. Okay let down first. Let me give you an examination. Eating the cake made your stomach hurt. Do I need a shot? No need, you just need to take some medications. Three times a day, one pill at a time. Doctor, how many at a time? Could you please repeat that. Three times a day, one pill at a time. Okay! Do you take it before or after eating? Either is fine. However, I suggest you don't eat for around 24 hours. Then I'll starve to death! This isn't okay, this method won't work!

(王朋这几天好像生病了）
王朋，你怎么了？眼睛怎么红红的，感冒了吗？没感冒。我也不知道怎么了，最近这几天身体很不舒服。眼睛又红又痒。 你一定是对什么过敏了。我想也是，所以去药店买了一些药。 已经吃了四，五种了，花了不少钱，都没有用。把你买的药拿出来给我看看。这些就是。这些药没有用。为什么不去看病？你没有健康保险吗? 我有保险。可是我这个学期功课很多，看病太花时间。那你也得走快去看病。要不然病会越来越重。我想再吃点儿别的药试试。我上次生病，没去看医生，休息了两天，最后也好了。不行，不行，你太懒了。再说，你不能日记乱吃药。走，我跟你看病去。
(Wang Peng seems to be sick these past few days.)
Wang Peng, what's wrong? Your eyes are red, do you have a cold? No. I also don't know what's wrong. Recently my body has felt uncomfortable. My eyes are red and itchy. You're definitely allergic to something. I also thought that, so I went to the pharmacy to buy some medication. I already took four or five pills. I spent tons of money on something that didn't work. Show me the meds that you went out to buy. It's these. These meds aren't what you need. Why don't you go see a doctor? Do you not have any health insurance? I have it, but I have so much homework this semester and going to the doctor takes forever. Then you should go to the doctor quickly. Otherwise, your health will continue to get worse and worse. I want to try some other meds first. Last time I got sick, I didn't go see a doctor. I just rested for two days, and I felt great after. No good, no good. You're so lazy. You don't need to take random medications. Go, I'll go the doctor with you.
