Man : Oh, you remember the birthday of that harsh man, pretty cool.
Woman : Yes, I should. He is our guardian, after all.
Man : Guardian! Ha, he is like an eighteen century master.
Woman : May be he is strict but you can’t expect your boss to let you do whatever you
want.
Man : Oh common, don’t be so good to him.
Woman : You’d better buy some gift and wish him.
Man : Never, I don’t enjoy this type of joke.

Unit 9
Michael : I’m thinking of going to Portugal this summer.
Ana : Really? Portugal is great in the summer. It’s warm and you can go to lots of
places there. You can go to the mountains in the north and enjoy archery
and horse riding.
Michael : Oh wow, that’s interesting. Well actually, I was thinking of going to the
beach. Which is the right time?
Ana : Oh yeah, if you want to avoid tourists, you should definitely not come in
August. August is really crowded. June can be the best time.
Michael : Thanks for your tips. I’ll definitely be there in June, hope to see you there
