It's Friday afternoon. All the people at Bluesky Company(公司) are thinking about their plans for the weekend. Mike is going to work in his garden. Dale is going fishing in the countryside. Charlie and Tom want to play tennis. Jack is going hiking in the mountains. Kelly and her family are going for a picnic. And Ed wants to play football with his friends in the park. Unluckily(不幸地), they are going to be disappointed. The weather forecast says “It's going to rain heavily all weekend.”

The students are talking on the telephone.

    An old woman can't read or write. One day she asks a young man to write a letter for her. She wants to send the letter to her son. Her son lives in a city, not very far from here.

    "I can't write your letter." says the man, "Because I have a bad leg."

    "I know." says the old woman, "but you don't write with your legs." "Yes. But I can't walk so far and read the letter for your son."

    "What do you mean, sir?" says the old woman. "My son can read it by himself."

    "Don't you know?" answers the man, "that only I can read what I write."
