W: After that you are supposed to go and see Mrs. Cathy. Remember? M: Oh, do I have to? She’s very kind, I know, but she’s not interesting! And besides, she’s so far away. Can she come here?

Text8 M: Where were you when the hurricane hit your area? W: We were invited to stay in my daddy’s friends in Amelia. M: What do you know about Katrina? W: Katrina was the strongest hurricane in the history of hurricanes. When she hit early Monday on Au¬gust 29, 2005, it was about 3:30 in the morning. The storm lasted until about noon on Monday. The winds were very strong, with wind up to about 100 miles per hour. It was very frightening. M: Was there any injury? W: Thankfully, no one was hurt in our area. M: Can von say something about your trip back home? W: Finally, on August 30, 2005, we were on our way home from Amelia. Our trip home was sad seeing houses with roofs torn off.

We are happy to have Professor Smith talk something about vegetable gar¬dening. As we know, vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants into worthwhile activity. What do you think about it, Professor Smith? M:Well, many things make vegetable gardening a national hobby for both young and old. For a large number of people, the thoughts of spring gardening provide a happy escape from winter boredom. Vegetable gardeners agree that many home－grown vegetables picked at their best are better than those vegetables purchased from markets. From spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing to many people. In addition, ve¬getable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families. Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a nega¬tive feeling toward gardening. W: Thank von so much for your wonderful talk, Professor Smith See you next week.
