Love Reading
Pat: Hi, Linda. Where are you going to?
Linda: Library.
Pat: Oh great! I just move here. Do you mind telling me how to use the library here?
Linda: Of course. All you need is your ID card and application for library card. Then you can check out books,popular magazines or newspaper.
Pat: How many books am I allowed to check out at a time?
Linda: No more than four books. But you can read magazines and newspaper within the library.
Pat: How long can I keep the books?
Linda: For 2 weeks. And you can come in and get a one-week extension after that. But if they are late, the fee is 35 cents per book per day. So return them on time.
Pat: I see. I'll make sure to return them back on time. Do you always go to library?
Linda: Not too much. I'd like to read newspaper . I have subscribed some newspaper, as Newspaper Week, popular paper and evening paper .
Pat: That's too much. There are too many articles on it. Those always confuse me.
Linda: My approach is to skim the pages first to see what's important and what isn't. And then choose the hot news and big news to read.
愛讀書
派特: 嗨,琳達。你去哪呀?
琳達: 圖書館。
派特: 哦,那太好了。我剛搬過來。你能教我如何使用這里的圖書館嗎?
琳達: 好的。只需要你的身份證申請個圖書卡,然后就可以借閱了。
派特: 一次可以借多少本書?
琳達: 不超過4本。另外,雜志和報紙不能外借,只能在圖書館里讀。
派特: 一次可以借多久?
琳達: 2周,兩周之后可以續(xù)借1周。如果錯過了還書時間,每天每本書要繳納35美分罰款。記得及時還書。
派特: 我記住了,會準時還書的。你經常去圖書館嗎?
琳達: 也不太多。我喜歡讀報紙,我訂閱了一些報紙。像新聞周刊,大眾報紙和晚報。
派特: 那也太多了。太多的文章在上邊,真是令我困惑呢。
琳達: 我的方法就是先瀏覽一下,選出重要的再去閱讀。
