情景對話(huà):
A: Hi, Jill, are you free this Saturday?
B: Why?
A: We'll have a party at my dormitory. Would you like to join us?
B: I'd like to. What shall we do for fun then?
A: We want to play cards: Chinese Poker, Chinese Hearts and the blackjack, whatever we like. What do you think?
You play cards very well, don't you?
B: Well... yes... but I'm not interested in poker recently.
A: Why?
B: I don't know.. .um. . . Perhaps because I've played it too much before and I get fed up with it. Does anybody like to play Chinese chess, go or checkers?
A: I'm not sure yet. But many classmates will come to the party, and perhaps someone will play them with you.
B: Will Mike come to the party? It's said he's really a good player of Chinese chess. I want to play it with him and learn some skills from him.
A: Yes, he'll come.
B: Great! I'll be there, too.
