对话文本


G: hey, there!

M: hey, George! You look great! What's the occasion?

G: yes. I just got my ticket to go home.

M: oh, really. That's wonderful.

G: I tried the ticket office but they were sold out. I ended up getting it from a scalper.

M: how much was it?

G: not too bad. Just 20 yuan more than the regular price.

M: good for you.

G: are you gonna take a trip during the Golden Week?

M: I wanted to, but I'm afraid most places will be overcrowded.

G: that's right. You'll find crowds of people on the train, at the shopping malls or even in the street, almost everywhere.

M: so I'll just relax and maybe do some shopping.

G: look! Hualian Store is celebrating the National Day holiday. Everything is on sale.

M: yeah. Look! It reads" 80 off any purchase of 200".

G: they always have great sales during the holiday. Why don't we go to take a look?

M: good idea!
