Socializing 社交
Anna:Beautiful day, isn’t it?
Jay:Oh, yes. It’s really warm. And it’s supposed(应该)to get even warmer.
Anna:Yes, that’s true. You know, though, I’m always a little sorry to see winter go.
Jay:Really? Why do you say that?
Anna:Well, I love to ski(滑雪). In fact, I used to(过去常)teach skiing for a living.
Jay:Oh? That sounds interesting. But what do you do now?
Anna:I work at a bank, in the loan department(贷款部). How about you?
Jay:I’m with the telephone company.
Anna:Here?
Jay:No. I’m from Chicago. I’m just visiting here for the wedding(婚礼).
Anna:Oh, I see.
Jay:By the way, I guess I should introduce myself. I’m Jay Keller.
Anna:Nice to meet you. My name’s Anna Wilson.
Jay:Pleased to meet you, too, Anna.
