What does the woman say about the dress?

Look at this beautiful green dress. The original price was $300, but it only costs $150 now.<br />It may not seem expensive for you, but I don't think so. And it's a little old-fashioned. Let's go to another store.

 Who is the woman probably talking to?

I gained 15 pounds after staying at home for a month.<br />Me too. I think it's just because our mom cooks very well.

 What does the woman plan to do?

Mark, I'm afraid I can't have dinner with you tonight.<br />My boss gave me some extra work, so I have to finish it first.<br />Alright, I was going to pick you up, but I'm going home now.

 When will the speakers see the film?

Martin, tonight's film will be on at 7pm and at 8pm. What time do you prefer?<br />Well, we will have dinner in a restaurant at 6.30pm. To make sure we have enough time to enjoy the meal, we'd better choose the latter.

 What are the speakers mainly talking about?

Did you see Coco? My sister and I can't find her anywhere. I'm afraid that she'll get hit by a car if she runs into the road.<br />You mean you're a little dog? No, I haven't seen her.

I read a story in a book the other day. It showed something important, and I wanted to<br />share it with you. The story was set in the years before cars were invented, so the rich<br />had to travel in coaches. One day a young lady wanted to watch a play in the theatre.<br />Her coachman took her to the theatre in a coach. It was very cold. While she was watching<br />the play, the poor coachman had to sit outside in the snow on the driver's seat of the coach,<br />looking after the horse. Inside the theatre, the lady was moved to tears by the performance.<br />Some actors in the play were in extremely poor situations. She showed great pity on<br />them. However, when she came out and saw the coachman covered with snow and almost frozen<br />to death, she just considered it as a normal part of life. Nowadays, whenever I see people<br />in terrible situations on TV, I feel sad, wishing that I could do something to make<br />a difference. But I often ignore people and things around me, like people who struggle<br />with life. They lose their jobs, experience death in their family, or suffer diseases.<br />Get those as you can. This is the story. Is there anyone who can share something you<br />read during the holidays in class? I read a story in a book the other day.
