Topic: the academy life Judih: Hi,Cys,Angy, long time no see! How are you? C: Hi , Judy.How are you? Yes, It's really long time since we met last time on the " Farewell Party" of our senior high school. A: Yes, Judy, you look so different now..en..i have to say you look gorgeous! J: Ha ha! Thanks my friends. How's everything going in your univercities, by the way? C: Well! Neither too bad nor too good! You know the academy life is just like that ,from classroom to library everyday, nothing special. I am a little bit bored of it! I wish i could be out of city town to enjoy the Fresh air in the countryside. A: But my academy life is so fantastic. I have read a lot of famous works in library ,seems it's not enough to have only 24 hours per day. I love it, everyday is so rich and colorful. Hey , just to imagine what we will be after graduation makes me so excited and spunky. What about you Judy? J: Me? oh , wonderful! I joined many communities in my University, and quite lot of outdoor experiences have made me amounts of friends , it also helps me prepare myself for the fierce competition before I get into the real market. C: oh Judy , I envy you,i wish i could be with you do some out-door exercises. A: Judy , yeah! You remind me something maybe I should register some community in my University but not only with my "Shakespeare"! J: oh Come on, girls! Everyone can make the academy life special and unforgettable, the problem is in which way you choose to live your academy life! My friends, good luck and best wishes to all of your families, will see you around! A & C: you too, my dear sis! see you later! DIALOGUE 1 A: Why is it that some people are always buying beyond their means? I mean, they do not make that much and spend half of their incomes on designer clothes as such. B: My theory is that insecure people need to wear famous brand clothing to feel good. C: Yes! They want people to know that they are good enough to afford the best. A: Well, I don't agree that name brands are just for the insecure. I mean, I like my designer clothes too. I do think designer shoes are more comfortable. C: So, you buy designer shoes for comfort? How about those ridiculous designer sweaters that have holes in them and shoes that have 2.5cm heels? B: Hah~! And those funny hats! You surely aren't saying that these things are functional. A: i disagree. Most designer and brand-name items are actually not useless. What you see on the catwalks are just the extremes. What you find in the stores is more functional. B: And not much less expensive! So don't tell me that you're into designer stuff. A: Like I said, some things are worth spending the money on, like stylish but comfortable shoes. But I wouldn't get designer underwear, for example. I mean, for one pair of brand-name underwear, Ican buy 10 pairs of sturdy cotton underwear at the market and just throw them into the wash and not be heartbroken if they change color. But I'd buy a brand-name washing machine because I believe they work longer. DIALOGUE 2 A: Hey, that's a beautiful bag you've got! Is it genuine Louis Vuitton? B: No, are you kidding? I can't afford the real thing. It's a fake that I got at a street market on the cheap. C: But don't you feel bad supporting pirates? I mean pirated stuff undercuts companies which produce the real things. B: So should we all drive Ferraris? There are those who can afford to and those who can't. Those who can't buy a cheaper sports car and paint it Ferrari-red. Pirated stuff is for those too poor to afford the real thing. C: I think it is illegal. B: What? Illegal to want to look good? A: No, illegal to own, sell and above all, manufacture fakes. It's like copyright - if you author a book, you don't want someone else to print and sell it for their own profits, do you? B: I see what you mean about books, but if I write a novel, I hope it's read by as many people as possible so I price it so that it's accessible to the most. But designer luxury items are priced beyond most people's means - they are not intended for the general public but for the elite few. And that's why I don't care about supporting pirated luxury items. C: What aoubt pirated textbooks? A photocopy of the original at a tenth of the price? Would you buy that? Furthermore, what about music? I mean CDs and the like? 希望令你满意! B: Um, I guess you're right there. It's not fair to exploit the work of other authors and producers. But I still wish they wouldn't price their products so high
