Alex：Your yard looks really beautiful, Bob.

Bob：Thank you, I’ve been working hard on it.

Alex：What do you do to make it so green?

Bob：A lot of different things!

Alex：Can you tell me a few?

Bob：The best thing to do is to water it every day.

Alex：Every day? Are you sure?

Bob：Yes, the more water, the better!

Alex：Okay, what else?

Bob：Also, you need to cut your grass at least every four to five days.

Alex：Why is that important?

Bob：Because it will keep the weeds off the yard!

Alex：Oh yeah!

Bob：Also, make sure you edge and weed-whack the extra grass.

Alex：Why do you do that?

Bob：It makes the grass look pretty from the street.

Alex：That make sense.

Bob：I’m pretty proud of my yard!

Alex：You should be! It could win contests!

Bob：You think so? Maybe I should enter some!

Alex：You should! You’d be the favorite to win in my view.

Bob：Thank you!

美麗庭院

亞歷克斯：鮑伯，你的院子看起來真漂亮。

鮑伯：謝謝，我一直努力維護它。

亞歷克斯：你都做了些什麼保持這一片翠綠？

鮑伯：很多事喔！

亞歷克斯：你能告訴我幾項嗎？

鮑伯：最好是每天澆水。

亞歷克斯：每天？你確定？

鮑伯：是的，水愈多愈好！

亞歷克斯：好的，還有什麼？

鮑伯：另外，你需要至少每四到五天剪草一次。

亞歷克斯：為什麼這麼重要？

鮑伯：因為這會讓院子裡沒雜草！

亞歷克斯：哦，好啊！

鮑伯：另外，要保持草皮邊緣整齊，把額外的草

修剪掉。

亞歷克斯：為什麼這麼做呢？

鮑伯：這樣從街上經過會覺得草皮很漂亮。

亞歷克斯：有道理

鮑伯：我為我的院子感到驕傲！

亞歷克斯：你應該驕傲，它可以贏得比賽了！

鮑伯：你這麼認為，也許我應該參加些比賽！

亞歷克斯：你應該！依我看，你會成為贏家。

鮑伯：謝謝你！
