    Dialogue 1 
    Julia and Greg are at the mall shopping for a birthday present to give to their friend Joe.
    茱莉亞和葛瑞格正在購物中心選購給朋友喬的生日禮物。
    Julia: Joe is such a hard person to shop for. 茱莉亞： 買東西送喬還真難。
    Greg: I know. Joe is a great friend and I really want to get him a great gift. 葛瑞格： 我知道，喬是個很好的朋友，我很想買個很棒的禮物給他。
    Julia: Do you think that Joe would like some music CDs? 茱莉亞： 你覺得喬會想要音樂 CD 嗎？
    Greg: I don't know what kind of music he likes. Why don't we get him some new clothes? 葛瑞格： 我不知道他喜歡哪種音樂耶，我們送他幾件新衣服如何？
    Julia: We could do that, but I don't know what size he wears. It would be a hassle if we bought him some clothes in the wrong size and he had to take them back. 茱莉亞： 可以啊，可是我不知道他穿幾號衣服呀。假如我們買錯尺寸，害他還得把衣服拿回去退的話，就太麻煩了。
    Greg: Let me think... Does he like video games? 葛瑞格： 我想想看……他喜歡電玩嗎？
    Julia No, not really. Joe's favorite thing to do is go jogging. 茱莉亞： 不，不怎麼喜歡。喬最喜歡的是慢跑。
    Greg: Joe already has everything he needs to go running, and he just bought new running shoes. 葛瑞格： 凡是跑步需要的用品，喬都已經有了，而且他才剛買了新跑鞋。
    Julia: I've got it! Let's get him a gift certificate. That way, he can come to the mall and buy whatever he wants. 茱莉亞： 我想到了！我們買張禮券給他，這樣他就可以來購物中心買他要的東西了。
    Dialogue 2 
    Julia and Greg are at Joe's birthday party celebrating and having fun.
    茱莉亞和葛瑞格正在喬的生日派對上慶祝著，玩得很開心。
    Julia: This is a great birthday party, and you look great in that party hat, Greg. 茱莉亞： 葛瑞格，這個生日派對太棒了，你戴那頂派對帽很好看。
    Greg: The birthday cake is especially good. I'm going to go back and get another piece. 葛瑞格： 這個生日蛋糕尤其好吃，我要回去再拿一塊。
    Julia: Don't eat too much. We are going to start the games and activities in a couple minutes. 茱莉亞： 別吃太多，我們幾分鐘後就要開始遊戲活動了。
    Greg: I have been really looking forward to hitting the pinata. It is filled with lots of yummy candy. 葛瑞格： 我好想打那個彩罐，裡面裝滿了好吃的糖果。
    Julia: And I want to play pin the tail on the donkey. 茱莉亞： 我想玩驢尾巴遊戲。
    Greg: Joe told me that he will be giving out some great prizes for both of those games. 葛瑞格： 喬告訴我，他會在這兩個遊戲裡給大家很棒的獎品呢。
    Julia: Joe also said that he will wait until the end of the party to open his gifts. I saw a stack of envelopes over by the other gifts. I think some other people got gift certificates for Joe, too. 茱莉亞： 喬還說他要等到派對結束才會拆禮物，我看到那些禮物旁邊擺著一堆信封，我想有些人也送禮券給喬。
    Greg: I guess we're not the only ones that think gift shopping for Joe is a major challenge.
    		 葛瑞格： 大概不只有我們覺得送禮物給喬是件困難的事吧。
