你知道吗？我家旁边有一所大学。这所大学有三万个学生，两千多名老师，是这个城市最好的学校。也因为我家在大学旁边，所以吃东西、买东西都很方便。周围有很多商店和饭馆，云南菜、四川菜、广东菜……你想吃什么就有什么。这个大学后面有一座山，很有名。很多人来这儿旅游，中国人、外国人都喜欢来这里爬山。因为我很喜欢爬山，也喜欢和不同的人聊天，所以我成为了一名导游，每天都很快乐。

WAITER: Hello, I’ll be your waiter today. Can I start you off with something to drink?
RALPH: Yes. I’ll have iced tea, please.
ANNA: And I’ll have lemonade.
WAITER: OK. Are you ready to order, or do you need a few minutes?
RALPH: I think we’re ready. I’ll have the tomato soup to start, and the roast beef with mashed potatoes and peas.
WAITER: How do you want the beef — rare, medium, or well done?
RALPH: Well done, please.
ANNA: And I’ll just have the fish, with potatoes and a salad.
