M: Do you want a day course or an evening course?W: Well, it has to be an evening course since I work during the day.Q: What are they talking about?(B) 這是個主旨型的對話.關鍵詞是course.當問及想上白天的課還是晚上的課時,女士說因為白天要工作。因此想上晚上的課。所以討論的話題應該是準備上的課程。3.

4、we meet to discuss our project? We have got to finish it before next Monday.M: Well, how about the snack bar at noon? I have a meeting to attend now.Q: What does the man suggest?

34、ol; at the age of eighteen he married agirl eight years older than himself, Anne Hathaway, who gave him a child the following year and twins in 1585. Little else is known of his early life, and so we cannot tell what made him decide to leave Stratford in 1586 for London, where he stayed until 1611.

35、In London he must soon have attracted attention, because by 1592 he was a writer and actor popular enough to be laughed at by an older dramatist as an uneducated Jack of all trades. He is mentioned as being among the principal actors of the city as early as 1598, and in 1599 we find that he is a mem
