Memory and Life Employment 英语口语对话A: Hey, guy, how about our dinner party? You know we have prepared it for a long time. B: Dont worry. I have sent out all the invitations to people on the list which you gave me yesterday. C: Well done! Where is the list? Let me have a look and check whether he forgets someone or not. B: Here you are. C: Oh, thats great! (Give the list to D, and D looks at the list carefully) B: Hemnow what should we do? C: Well, I think weve got to plan the menu. A: Its a good idea. Do you have anything in mind? C: How about some Chinese food? I think D: (Interrupt C) Hey, wait, wait! John is not on the list! I came across him in the street just now and he was looking forward to the party. A: John? Oh, my god! I forgot to invite John! It just slipped my mind. Hell be mad at me. D: Well, everyone forgets something sometime. Its not too late yet. Ill make a phone call to him. Dont worry. A: Thanks a lot! You see, Im getting forgetful. D: Take it easy. (Turn to B) By the way, do you know what Johns mobile phone number is? B: I cant think of it off the top of my head. I dont have my phone book on me, and I dont have my mobile phone with me, either. D: Thats too bad! The party will be held tomorrow, its really urgent. If we cant find him today, well be guilty. C: (Turn to A) How about you? You might want to look it up in your contacts. A: Ive checked already, but it seems that his phone number is unlisted. I remember writing down it indeed! D: Its a pity. You usually have a powerful memory, but you cant help today. Whats wrong with you? Your memory seems to be fading early. A: Ive no idea. I hope its not Alzheimers disease. I dont want to forget my own name. B: I dont think so. Its not as serious as a disease. Perhaps its just a temporary forgetfulness. Youll be all right after a good sleep. C: Yeah, a research shows that living under pressure will lead to a bad memory. A: But its true that my memory is fading now. I even cant remember a string of numbers. D: Take it easy. Its not that your memory is fading. You do have a good memory for faces and names but a poor one for numbers and dates. B: I agree. Maybe you are too nervous about the coming examinations. Youd better take a good rest. A: I hope so. But if this happens frequently, I think I must go to see a doctor and get some pills. C: Come on. You are as strong as a bull! D: Anyway, I wish you had a good memory for happy events, and a bad one for unhappy things. A: Thank you all the same. D: Its all right. Ill call John as soon as possible. B: (Turn to A) Wish you come back with a powerful memory as soon as possible too.
