Name: ________________ Date: ________
星期一早上，同事李明问我：“你周末做什么了？”
我说：“我很忙！星期六上午，我去打球了。下午，我和朋友去看了电影。晚上，我们去外边吃了饭。”
“星期天呢？”
“星期天，我去书店买了三本书，还学了两个小时中文。”
李明看着我：“真的吗？”我说：“真的！”
“星期六上午十点，我给你打电话。你说：‘喂，我在睡觉……’”
“下午三点，我还打了一次。你还是说：‘喂，我在睡觉……’”
我不说话了。
过了一会儿，我问他：“那你周末做什么了？”
他笑着说：“星期六上午，我去打球了。下午，我去看了电影。晚上，我去外边吃了饭。我给你打电话，就是想叫你一起去。”

English (for the teacher)
On Monday morning my colleague Li Ming asked me, “What did you do at the weekend?”
I said, “I was so busy! On Saturday morning I went to play ball. In the afternoon a friend and I went to see a film. In the evening we went out for dinner.”
“And Sunday?”
“On Sunday I went to a bookshop and bought three books, and I studied Chinese for two hours.”
Li Ming looked at me. “Really?” I said, “Really!”
“At ten on Saturday morning I called you. You said, ‘Hello? I'm asleep…’”
“At three in the afternoon I called again. And again you said, ‘Hello? I'm asleep…’”
I went quiet.
After a while I asked him, “So what did you do at the weekend?”
He smiled. “On Saturday morning I went to play ball. In the afternoon I went to see a film. In the evening I went out for dinner. I was phoning to ask you along.”
