　　对话1

　　Harry:Carol and I are thinking of going to Thailand for our summer vacation this year.

　　Bill:That sounds exciting! When are you planning to go?

　　Harry:We’re not quite sure when we’re going. It depends on when the summer vacation comes.

　　Bill:So far as I know, it comes around July 8.

　　Harry:Oh, that’s great. Then we can leave on July 10. By the way, do you happen to know what the weather is like in Thailand in July?

　　Bill:Yes, I think so. It’s always very hot there in summer.

　　Harry:Is it humid? Humid hot?

　　Bill:Yes, it is. I was there last year, and it was humid hot then.

　　Harry:Oh, that’s really terrible.

　　Carol:She is? You must be kidding!

　　Jessie:No, no kidding. She’s been back for two days now.

　　Carol:Has she changed much? Is she still as beautiful as she used to be?

　　Jessie:She hasn’t changed a bit. She’s still as beautiful as she was.

　　Carol:I’m so envious of her! Say, why don’t we have a get-together with her?

　　Jessie:That’s a great idea. Are you doing anything Saturday night?

　　Carol:I don’t think so.
