Hi, Mary. I'm making some plans to work for the old people this summer holidays.嗨,瑪麗。這個暑假我打算去為老年人工作。Sounds great. I did that last summer with one of my best friends.聽起來很棒。去年暑假我就和我的一個最好的朋友做過這個。What did you do to the old?你們?yōu)槔先俗隽耸裁词虑槟兀縈m ... things like reading the newspaper to the old people, doing some cleaning and talking with them.嗯……像給老人讀報紙、打掃衛(wèi)生以及陪他們聊天這類事情。They also told us stories about the past and how things used to be.他們也會給我們講發(fā)生在過去的一些故事和過去的一些面貌。That sounds interesting.聽起來很有趣。Most sons and daughters are very busy with their work outside, leaving the parents at home most of the time.大多數(shù)的子女都在外面忙于工作,他們大部分的時間都會把父母留在家里。Yeah, a lot of old people are lonely. They need someone to talk with.是的,很多老年人都很孤獨。他們需要有人傾訴。You are right. We should listen to them and take good care of them.你說得對。我們應該多聽聽他們說話,好好照顧他們。Will you join and help us this summer holidays?這個暑假你會來加入我們、幫助我們嗎?Sure. We're going to be old one day, too. Helping the old is helping ourselves.當然會。總有一天我們也會變老。幫助老人就是幫助我們自己。Exactly. Thanks a lot.沒錯。非常感謝。
