Situation 9
Back at Home(Michael goes home and talks to his mother about school. )
Mom,I had a great day at school.
Really? You usually hate school.
I know, but today was different.
Why? What was different about it?
Today I spoke only English and I had a lot of fun.
Did your teachers understand?
Yes,they all understood.Well,actually,one got mad and hit me.
Who was it? I will talk to him.
No.Don't worry about it.He only hit my hands.
All right,if you say so.But it still makes me mad.
By the way,who did you speak English with?
I spoke English with Andy.Do you remember him?
Of course I remember him.That is so funny.
Why is it funny?
Because I met Andy's mother today,
and we decided to speak English,too.
Really? But Andy's mother was an English major in college.
Can you speak English with her?
Why not? Even if her English is better than mine,
I can still practice.
That's true.Wow,Mom,you are really smart.
No,I'm not smart.But I have lived a long time,
so I understand life a little better than you
That's all.
Anyway,I always learn a lot from you.
I'm happy to hear that.
