Daniel: Dad, do you know which bus we should take?
Benjamin: Of course, er, let me check the bus schedule first.
Daniel: Be quick, please!
Benjamin: Why can't I find the bus your mother told me yesterday?
Daniel: Mom has told you about the direction 3 times yesterday.
Dad: But I was watching American Idol at that time.
Daniel: We need to ask someone.
(There comes Bus 29)
Benjamin: Excuse me? Does this bus go to Xidan Book Building?
Conductor: No, it doesn't. You need to take Bus 52.
Benjamin: Do I have to change to some other bus on the way?
Conductor: No.
Benjamin: I see, thanks. Oops! The Bus 52 is coming. Daniel, come on. Let's go.
聽看學丹尼爾：你知道我們坐哪路車嗎？
本傑明：當然啊，恩，讓我先看一下公車牌。
丹尼爾：快點吧！
本傑明：爲什麼我沒有看見你媽媽昨天跟我說的那路公車呢？
丹尼爾：媽媽昨天跟你說了三次公交路線。
爸爸：但是那個時候我在看《美國偶像》啊。
丹尼爾：我們要問問起他的人。
（來了一輛29路車）
本傑明：你好，請問一下這車到西單圖書大廈嗎？
售票員：不到。你應該乘52路。
本傑明：那我還需要轉車嗎？
售票員：不需要。
本傑明：我知道了，謝謝。啊，52路來了，丹尼爾，快，我們走。
經典背誦 RecitationDad: I have no sense of directions at all. So many times when I go out to some place by bus I would have to ask the conductor how to get there. Thanks to them that they are always so helpful. But I don't know how they can remember so many places?

Pronunciation 語音小結——半元音1組1./w / which we why when
發音小貼士：舌後部向軟齶擡起，雙脣收得圓而小，並向前突出，音一經發出就立即向後面的元音滑動，聲帶振動。
2．/j / yesterday yet yes yellow
發音小貼士：舌前部儘量向硬齶擡起，雙脣向兩邊伸展成扁平形。該音一經發出立刻向後面元音滑動，聲帶振動。
特別提示：在美音輔音系統中比英音多了個清輔音/hw /，和濁輔音/w /相對，有不少美國人把wh開頭的單詞念成/hw /,如what /hwat /, why /hwai/
對比練習 /w /和/j / west and your wet and you wise and young water and yard
