N: Hi, honey. It seems you are so quiet these days and always in such a hurry to finish your meal. We haven't had any conversation for a long time.

T: I'm sorry, Dad. But I have a lot of homework recently. Especially, I have an assignment due tomorrow, and I have no clue what I'm going to write.

N: What is it about

T: I have to write a report on the most amazing thing I have ever known.

N: Oh, really I happened to read on the newspa-per that New Zealand fishermen just caught a colossal squid, and they reported that it is as large as a school bus. Quite amazing, isn't it

T: That's fantastic. Can you show me the news

N: Sure. I believe it was reported last Monday, and I think we still got the newspaper.

T: Thanks, Dad. I love you so much.

N: Just remember if you've got any problem, talk to me or your Mom. Your Mom and I are worried about you.

T: Yes, sir.



尼 克：親愛的，這些日子你看起來很安靜，且總是急忙得把你的飯吃完。我們已經很久沒有談天了。

德蕾莎：爸爸，不好意思。但是最近我的功課很多。特別是我明天要交一份報告，但我到現在還不知道要寫些什麼。

尼 克：那是關於什麼？

德蕾莎：我要寫一份關於我所知道的最驚人的事。

尼 克：真的嗎？我剛好在報紙上看到紐西蘭的漁夫才剛抓到一隻巨大的烏賊，且他們報導說它跟校車一樣大呢！很驚人，不是嗎？

德蕾莎：太好了。能給我看那份報導嗎？

尼 克：當然好啊。我記得是星期一報導的，我們應該還有那份報紙。

德蕾莎：爸爸，謝謝你。我真愛你。

尼 克：只要記得，如果你有任何麻煩的話，要跟我和你媽說。我們都很擔心你。 德蕾莎：遵命。
