M: Mandy  C: Carl

Carl is at a toy store with Mandy, an exchange student from abroad.

M: Wow! There are so many cool toys here. 

C: Yeah, I used to get toys from this store when I was little. My favorite was the slingshot.

M: Sounds like you were a little troublemaker. I really like the marbles and the spinning tops. 

C: Are there stores like this in your country?

M: Of course! My friends and I had yo-yos just like this one. 

C: Cool. I was never good at those. Yo-yos definitely take some skill and practice to master.


卡爾和來自國外的交換生曼蒂在一家玩具店。

曼 蒂: 哇!這裡有好多酷炫的玩具。

卡 爾: 是啊,我小時候常在這家店買玩具。我最喜歡的是彈弓。

曼 蒂: 聽起來你小時候是個小麻煩。我很喜歡彈珠和陀螺。

卡 爾: 妳們國家有像這樣的商店嗎?

曼 蒂: 當然有啊!我和朋友們都有像這樣的溜溜球。

卡 爾: 酷。我從來都不擅長玩它們。玩溜溜球絕對需要一些技巧和練習才能精通。
