An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this, “ I’m afraid it’ll have to be somewhere cheap, as I have little money.” The other person may say, “OK, I’ll meet you at McDonald’ s.”
This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, “Oh, no, I want to take you to lunch at Smith’s.” or “ I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They are great.” This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards the person, you can go with him and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may just say, “ Thank you. That would be very nice.”
American custom about who pays for dates is much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university girl or a woman in business world will usually pay for her own.

Spend at least half a day visiting the museum. It’s on a hill outside the town in a lonely old building. The museum brings history to life.

If you can’t wait, there is a new exhibition(展覽) opening soon. Walden is famous for one thing—candy! If you like candy, this exhibition is the place for you. You can learn about its history. I never see so many different kinds of candies.

Good morning, boys and girl. Today I’ll give a talk about going online.
We know that there are too many net bars around us. The Internet can make our lives interesting and enjoyable（令人愉快的）.

We also have some interest groups in school, such as drawing, singing and dancing. We can go to the English corner on Monday afternoon.
