新視野大學(xué)英語視聽說教程第三冊 Unit 6 Now Your Turn SAMPLE DIALOG
B: How are you doing? Hope everyone is OK here.
A: My God, I can hardly bear the life here. This nursing home is driving crazy.
B: What’s wrong?>
A: You see, there are to many old people here, but far too small a staff.
B: Yeah, that’s probably because people live longer now, crowding nursing homes.
A: So we can hardily get attention. The owner tries to save money on food and care.
B: I see, nursing home abuse is now a very common problem. I heard of one survey withstatistics: 300 homes were inspects, and in nearly half of them care was substandard.
A: Sometimes they even beat me. I don’t know where and how I can get help.
B: I n theory government offices and lawyers can help you in cases of abuse.
A: But it is inconvenient for me to contact government offices again and again, and I’m too poor to hire a lawyer.
B: OK, aunt, since it’s hard to ensure you’re Ok here, I’ll take you home. Mary and I will take care of you.
A: Are you sure Mary thinks in the same way as you do?
