Daniel:Mom, hurry up or there will be no seats available for us.

Shirley:Don't worry, there will be a lot. There will be enough seats for another ten Daniels.

Daniel:I'll take the one beside the driver. There will be a good view there. Wow, how comfortable the seats are. Your company is so great.

Shirley:Daniel, you can't sit there. Because that one is for the coach. OK, let's sit over here.

(The coach gets on the bus.)

Coach:Is everybody board here? OK, please listen to me. First, all of us must follow the rules. There will be a lot of activities for us, so please never and ever leave the group.

(Daniel turns to his Mom.)

Daniel:Mom, the coach is so strict, I'm afraid I'll never have the fun I want.

Shirley:Honey, you're wrong. If everybody has the same idea as you, a team will not be called a team.

Daniel:Maybe, but anyway, we'll have a lot of fun. Right?

Shirley:Not really, honey. This journey is not all for fun. The most important thing is that we should learn much from it for self-improvement.?

Daniel:What's all that about?

Shirley:It's about for enhancing the degree of belief, taking responsibility and things like that.

Daniel:Oh, I see, that is also to say “teaching goes together with pleasure”.

(One hour later they arrive at their destination.)

Coach:Now, everybody attention please. The first activity we'll do is to make chocolate by yourself.

Daniel:How great! I always eat chocolate but I never know how to make it.

Shirley:And you'll have a taste of the chocolate made by yourself.

Daniel:Yeah, I can design varied tastes of chocolate and also I can put any picture I like on the chocolates.

丹尼尔:妈妈，快点，否则我们就没有座位了。

雪莉:别着急，会有很多的。再来十个丹尼尔都会没有问题。

丹尼尔:我做司机旁边这个位置。这里视野会不错。哇，这个位置好舒服。妈妈的公司真好。

雪莉:丹尼尔，你不能坐那。因为那是给教练的。我们坐这吧。

（教练上车了。）

教练:大家都上车了吗？好的，请听我说。首先，大家都应该遵守纪律。我们会有很多活动。所以请大家决不要离开队伍。

（丹尼尔跟妈妈说话。）

丹尼尔:妈妈，教练好严厉呀，我想恐怕我不会玩得尽兴的。

雪莉:孩子，你错了。如果每一个人像你一样想，团队就不叫团队了。

丹尼尔:可能吧，但是无论如何，我们会玩得很高兴，对不对？

雪莉:也不尽是。这次旅游并不纯粹为了玩，更重要的是为了学东西提高自己。

丹尼尔:是关于什么的呀？

雪莉:是关于提高信任度，责任感等类似的事情。

丹尼尔:哦，我知道了。也就是说“寓教于乐”。

（一个小时后，他们到达了目的地。）

教练:现在，每个人注意了。我们要做的第一个运动时自己亲手制作巧克力。

丹尼尔:好棒，我经常吃巧克力，但是我从来不知道怎么做。

雪莉:你将尝到自己亲手做的巧克力。

丹尼尔:好的，我能设计各种口味的巧克力，还可以放上我喜欢的各种图案。
