A: 你知道……在我看来我们英语课上的对话练习太多了，而没有足够的语法训练（1.这些天孩子们看了太多电视了/2.政府花了太多的资金在社会项目上/3.联合国不是一个非常有效率的组织）。你同意吗？
B: 我不确定。为什么你会这么想？
A: 学习一门新语言时最重要的就是它的语法规则（1.他们连续几个小时坐在电视机前，而不是读书、在外面玩耍、和他们的父母交流/2.诸如社会安全、福利、医疗这些项目每年都会花费我们上百万美元/3.他们讨论了很多，但似乎并没有解决很多问题）。难道你不认为吗？
B: 嗯，我本希望同意你的说法，但是既然你问我了，我认为对话练习比学习语法规则更有用些（1.电视有利于我们的孩子们/2.政府应该花更多的钱在社会项目上/3.联合国是一个非常重要的机构）。
A: 哦？为什么你这样认为？
B: 这样有助于我们与他人进行实际交流（1.电视为孩子们揭示了很多信息，并向他们展现了世界的样子/2.我们应该有种责任感去为我们的社会成员提供高质量的生活/3.联合国组织有利于国家间的交流和合作，并在全世界运作有价值的项目如健康、教育和发展）。
A: 嗯，这是一个不错的想法。
A: You know... It seems to me that we had too much conversation practice and not enough grammar in our English class (1 children watch too much television these days /2 the government spends too much money on social programs /3 the United Nation isn’t a very effective organization). Don’t you agree?
B: I’m not sure. Why do you feel that way?
A: Grammar rules are the most important things to learn in a new language (1 television is good for our children /2 the government should spend more money on social programs /3 the U.N. is a very important institution). Don’t you agree?
B: Well, I wish I could agree with you, but if you ask me, conversation practice is much more useful than studying grammar rules (they sit for hours in front of their TV sets instead of reading, playing outside, and talking with their parents /2 programs such ac Social Security, welfare, and Medicaid cost us millions of dollars every year /3 they do a lot of talking, but they don’t seem to solve many problem) .
A: Oh? Why do you feel that way?
B: It prepares us to really communicate with people(1 It expose them to lots of information and shows them what the world is like /2 We should feel obligated to provide a decent life for all members of our society /3 It helps countries communicate and cooperate with each other and operates valuable health, education, and development programs throughout the world).
A: Hmm. That’s a good point.
