今Jenny在鄉下享受著周末。星期日早上，jenny好像被小鳥的叫聲叫醒了。

（敲Jenny臥室門的聲音）

Jenny  Come in!

(Susan 進了房間)

Jenny  Good morning, Susan.

Susan  Good morning, jenny. I’ve brought you an early morning cup of tea!

Jenny  Tank you.

Susan  Oh, I forgot to ask you. Do you drink tea or, as an American, do you prefer coffee?

Jenny  No, tea is fine, thanks.

Susan  Oh, good. Did you sleep well?

Jenny  Yes, thank you. I slept better than I’ve slept for a long time.

Susan  People usually sleep well here. It must be the country air.

Jenny  Yes, but the birds woke me up a bit early.

Susan  They are noisy today.

Jenny  What sorts of birds do you get?

Susan  All sorts, really. But the pigeons seem to sing more loudly than the rest.

Jenny  I thought I heard an owl last night.

Susan  Yes, we get a lot of owls. Well. I’ll let you drink your tea. Would you like breakfast in half an hour?

Jenny  Yes, that would be fine, thank you.

Susan  A full English farm breakfast?

Jenny  Great! I can’t wait.

Susan  Right, I’ll go and collect some eggs.

（早飯的時候）

Jenny  That was delicious: the best breakfast that I have ever eaten!

Susan  Good It’s nice to cook for someone who enjoys eating. Come on, peter. Eat up!

Peter  I’m trying to eat as fast as I can.

Susan  (面向Jenny) He eats more slowly than any man I know.

Peter  There’s nothing wrong with eating slowly! It’s not good for you to eat quickly.

Susan  What are you two going to do today?

Peter  I can’t decide whether to drive jenny to Oxford or walk to the village.

Susan  What would you prefer to do, jenny?

Jenny  I don’t mind what we do.

Susan  Well, if you get ready quickly, you can do both.

Peter  OK, let’s go.
