Ⅰ.核心學習：Be Punctual 準時
Steve: You're late again, Mike. You have been late three times this month.史蒂文：你又遲到了，麥克。這個月你已經遲到三次了。
Mike : I'm really sorry, Steve. The traffic has been bad lately.麥克：我真的非常抱歉。最近總是塞車。
Steve: Do you catch a taxi to work every day?史蒂文：你每天上班都是打車嗎？
Mike : Yep. When the traffic is OK, it only takes 20 minutes but when there are traffic jams, it can take 40 or even 50 minutes.麥克：對。如果不堵車的話只需花20分鐘。但如果堵車的.話，可能就要花40甚至50分鐘了。
Steve: Have you thought about alternative transport?史蒂文：那你有沒有想過使用什麼別的交通工具麼？
Mike : What do you mean by 'alternative'?麥克：你說的“別的”是指什麼？
Steve: Well, taxi is just one way to get to your destination. What about the bus or subway?史蒂文：其實，乘坐計程車只是到達目的地的一種方法。公共汽車或者坐地鐵怎麼樣？
Mike : I never really thought about it, but I will give it a try.麥克：我從來沒想過那麼做，不過我倒是可以試試。
Steve: Just try to be punctual, Mike. It's important.史蒂文：麥克，你可要試著儘量準時。這很重要。
