his head, saying, "You don't say! You don't
say!" I was 4. I thought, perhaps this
was not a (n) 5 topic. Well, I'd6 change the topic. So I said to him, "Well, shall we talk about
the Great Wall? 7 the way, have you ever 8 there?"

home will9 me if I leave China without seeing it. It is
great!"

talk about it?"

surprised.

say'?"
