Text 11

W： Excuse me， sir. May I ask you a few questions？

M： Yes. Go ahead.

W： How often do you go on holiday？

M： Twice a year.

W： And what do you prefer to do when you are on holiday？

M： Well， I do like to visit art shows with my wife. I often learn a lot from her.

W： Have you ever traveled abroad？

M： No， never. It’s too expensive for me. If there isn’t an art show on， we usually travel to somewhere near the sea. In the morning， I prefer to sit under a tree， reading a book， while my wife usually draws pictures. In the afternoon， I prefer to go swimming in the sea， while my wife usually just lies on the beach and enjoys the sun.

W： I wonder if you stay at home when you are on holiday.

M： No， we don’t like staying at home， although my parents do.

W： OK. Thank you very much.

W： Hey， Bill， you look tired. Are you OK？

M： Hey， Lucy. I feel very bad. I didn’t sleep well last night.

W： Why？ Did you go to bed late？

M： No， I went to bed early. But I couldn’t sleep at all. My next door neighbor had a big birthday party together and they made so much noise！

W： Oh， that’s terrible！

M： Yeah， I just read for a while. Then， about 4：00， they finally left.

W： 4：00 am？

M： Yeah， I slept for about one hour—maybe. Then I got up and had some coffee.

W： What about your roommate Paul？

M： He got up around 6：00. In fact， we had breakfast together. Then he had to go to work. When he left， I went to bed again and slept for about two hours.

W： I’m really sorry. Maybe you can get some more sleep this afternoon.

M： Yeah. Maybe.

Life is like the four seasons.

When I was young it was the spring of my life. I was born. I played a lot， and then started school. I learned many new things. Like a flower， I grew bigger every day. There were always happy days.

At the age of twenty-seven， I had a good job. I was strong and happy. One year later， I married a man and had a child. I did not have time to think. Every day I was busy. The summer of my life passed quickly.

Then the days got shorter. My child was a university student， and then a reporter. My home was much quieter. I started walking more slowly. One day I stopped working. I had more time. I understood this was my autumn.

But days get shorter and colder. Winter comes. I am older and weaker. I know I do not have many days left， but I will enjoy them to the end.
