6 Hello?
Hi,David.It's Lucy.
Hi,Lucy.How are you?
Fine,thanks.
I'm just calling to say thanks
for inviting us to the party.
We've really enjoyed ourselves.
Good.I'm glad you had a good time.
So what have you been doing recently?
Well,yesterday we had a problem
with the cable TV,
but luckily I was able to fix it myself.
That's good.
It's much better
if you can do things by yourself.
Yeah.Tell me.
How's John,your American friend?
I haven't seen him for a while.
Oh,he's fine.
He's away at the moment.
Oh,I see.
Has he gone back to the US?
No.He's travelling here in Western China.
He doesn't speak Chinese very well,
but he found a guide,
so he doesn't have to do everything himself.
Really?
I want to take a trip like that
but it's not so easy...
No?Why not?
Well,because of my mom and dad.
You know,they worry about everything...
I believe you can look after yourself.
Do you think so?
Sure.
You should be able to get away
and enjoy yourself once in a while.
Hmm...maybe you're right.
