Full of Surprises意外的惊喜ACTII教师讲解版视频
On the road to Pete Waters' farm. Grandpa is driving. Hestops at a gas station near Chesterton.
Attendant：Hello. What can I do for you?
Grandpa：Hi. Fill 'er up.I need a full tank.
Attendant：Check the hood?
Grandpa：No, thanks. [He gets out of the car.]
Attendant：Whereabouts are you headed?
Grandpa：Pete Waters' farm, near Chesterton..
Attendant：I know it well. Pete Waters's lived aroundhere almost as long as I have.
Grandpa：How long is it going to take for me to getthere?
Attendant：About fifteen minutes. There's a short cut----if you know it.
Grandpa：No, I don't. Could you tell me how to use theshort cut?
Attendant：Sure. You take the next left turn. You'll see a stop sign. Make a right at the stop sign.Stay on that road, and
you'll cross a blue bridge. Then you'll see a big old red barn.That's the back of Pete Waters' place.
Grandpa：That's quite a difference from the directions that Pete sent me. [He looks at the piece of paper with the
directions.]
Attendant：[looking at the paper] Now, if you take that route, it's probably a lot simpler, but it'll take you ten minutes longer.
Grandpa：OK. Let me repeat it.I take the next left turn to the stop sign. Then a right across a blue bridge, and then a big red barn.
Attendant：Can't miss it.
Grandpa：How much do I owe you?
Attendant：Well, that'll be eighteen dollars and seventycents No charge for the cleanup. It's on the house.
[Grandpa fakes a twenty----dollar bill from his pocket] andhands it to the attendant.]
Grandpa：Well, here's a twenty.
Attendant：[He takes the change from his pocket.] Ah.OK. That's a dollar and thirty cents change.[He counts out the change and gives it to Grandpa.]There we go … will make twenty.Thanks.
Grandpa：Thank you. And thanks for the directions. [Hegets back into the car and drives away. He thinks aloud as he follows the attendant's directions.] This must be Pete's barn. Turn right to the house. [He stops the car to ask a farm worker for directions to Pete's house.]Hi.
Worker：Hi. What can I do for you?
Grandpa：Is this the Pete Waters farm?
Worker：It is.
Grandpa：I'm a friend of Pete's. I'm looking for thehouse.
Worker：It's just over yonder.[He points.] Keep along this road till you get to the end of the fence". You'll see the chicken house. His house is on the left.
Grandpa：Well, thanks. [He shakes his hand.]
A little later. Grandpa arrives at Pete's house. He reads a note that Pete has left on the front door for him.
Grandpa：[He reads the note.]“Have gone to the rail-road station. Back soon with a surprise. Make yourself at home.Have a look around. Pete. ”[He laughs.] Same old Pete Waters. Always full of surprises.
