Dear Big Cui ,
Monday! A special day! The first day of my new
life!
I know being tall and thin makes a handsome
boy, and I desire to be. But it’s a pity that I’m too
fat. Many friends even my parents advise me to
lose weight. I do want to; And I ought to have years
ago. But this means going hungry and suffering
pain. I am in a dilemma. (纠结)
Good news! Yesterday I found a study showed if
one wants to lose weight, eating less is of no help.
Aha… So happy! It’s time to lose weight. Wait to
see a new Big Cui. Fat cui, 88! Never see you again!
Yours
Big Cui

told.

Situation:
There is a dialogue between a boy and a
girl. They didn’t use ellipsis in their
language. Now, in groups, use what we
have learnt to omit the unnecessary part
to make the dialogue as brief as possible.
And then act it out in groups.
Boy: You look there!
Girl: What do you want me to look at?
Boy: I want you to look at the girl who is
in red.
Girl: Is there anything special about her?
Boy: She is so beautiful that I can’t believe
my eyes.
Girl: I don’t think she is that beautiful.
(staring at the girl…)
Boy: Really?
Girl: Er…
Boy: You are jealous (嫉妒) ! Don’t you want
to be so beautiful?
Girl: Every girl wants to be so beautiful.
Boy: Wow, she is more beautiful while she
is walking. Let’s go and talk to her!
If it is possible, I’d like to make
friends with her.
Girl: I’d like to make friends with her, too.
Boy: Look!
Girl: What?
Boy: The girl in red.
Girl: Anything special?
Boy: So beautiful!
Girl: I don’t think so.( staring at the girl…)
Boy: Really?
Girl: Er…
Boy: Jealous!(嫉妒)Don’t you want to be so
beautiful?!
Girl: Every girl wants to be!
Boy: Wow, more beautiful while walking. Go
and talk to her! If possible, I’d like to make
fiends with her. Girl: Me, too.
Which do you think is more
beautiful, the elliptical one or the
complete one?
