Bedtime
Mother:It’s time for bed.
Frank:
But I’m not sleepy, mom. Can I stay up and watch more TV?
Mother:
It’s already past 11. You have school tomorrow. You’ll be sleepy all day tomorrow if you don’t sleep well tonight.
Frank:
I know, but I promise I won’t be sleepy tomorrow. I work really hard.
Mother:
Don’t you have exams coming upŒ soon? I’m sure you could spend more time preparing? for those.
Frank:Oh, I nearly forgot the exams.
Mother:
You do well in the math, but your history is not good enough. Am I right?
Frank:
Yeah, I guess so. Maybe I could go to sleep now and get up early to review the lessons tomorrow.
Mother:
An excellent idea. Work now and play later.
Frank:
I know you’re right. School is more important than TV, but can I watch one more show then go to bed?
Mother:No, now is bedtime.
睡覺時間

你不是快考試了嗎?我肯定你可以多花點時間準(zhǔn)備的。
