地道美语听力练习:学校筹款活动

Valerie:What's this?

A.J.:It's a note from Rachel's school.

It's about the next fundraiser.

Valerie:Oh no, not another one. What is it this time-a raffle, car wash, or spaghetti dinner?

A.J.:It's none of those things.

It's a combination bake sale and craft sale.

Parents are supposed to donate baked goods and handmade items.

Valerie:This is crazy.

Every month there's something else.

Last month, it was a candy sale.

I had to hit up everybody at work, and that's on the tail of raffle tickets the month before.

It's like this every year.

A.J.:I know, we already donated a lot of things to the rummage sale last semester and gift certificates for the silent auction two months ago.

With two kids in two different schools, I feel like we never get a breather.

Valerie:I know and there's more.

Brian's school is asking parents to buy a brick that will be part of a new school building and our names will be engraved on it.

A.J.:You're kidding, right?

One more fundraiser and my name will get engraved, all right-on my tombstone!
