地道美语听力练习:不同年龄的人
Gloria: I'm surprised at the variety of people on this tour.
Andy: Oh, yeah? I hadn't noticed.
Gloria: Well, we'll be spending the next two weeks with these people so I thought I'd get to know some of them.
Andy: That's nice.
Gloria: Did you see that thirty-something couple with a toddler and an infant? I'm really surprised they're on this tour.
Andy: I'm sure they know what they're doing.
Gloria: And how about that group of seniors? Some of them look like they're in the mid- to late- seventies.
Andy: They seem pretty spry to me.
Gloria: But what really surprises me is that group of middle-aged couples with their tween and teenage children. They'll be a handful.
Andy: They seemed pretty well behaved to me.
Gloria: And did you notice that woman in her early-forties and the forty-ish man each traveling alone? She seemed nice, but he didn't seem too friendly.
Andy: Maybe he's using his time to size up everybody like you are.
Gloria: Well, I wish there were more young adults in this group. I like talking to young people.
Andy: I think there will be plenty of people for you to talk to these two weeks when you're not sightseeing.
Gloria: Sightseeing? Oh yeah, sightseeing.
