今天，我们首先来听一下Robert和Jenny老师朗读下面这个情景对话：

Jenifer: I just hear that Jane and Mike broke up because Mike was having an affair for the past year! She busted him when she walk into their bedroom and found him with some tramp.

Kenny: How horrible! Jane must have been so upset!

Jenifer: She sure was. She dropped him like a hot potato the next day! I don't think they'll ever be able to patch things up, either. With Jane, there are no second chances.

Kenny: Well, it doesn't surprise me one bit that he had a mistress. Their marriage has been on the rocks for a long time. I just hope they both signed a pre-nup or she'll end up taking him to the cleaners!
