Jenny 和peter green, Kate 和Tom 四个人一直去吃晚餐。让我们看一下晚餐的情况。

Jenny  What do you want to do when you finish university, Tom?

Peter  Oh, that reminds me. I’ve got a present for you. Jenny.

Jenny  A present for me?

Peter  Yes, here you are.

Jenny  Thank you. It feels like a book. Oh, it’s a play. Educating Rita. 

Peter  Have you read it?

Jenny  No, I haven’t but I’ve heard of it.

Peter  I think you ’ll like it. It is set in a university in the north fo England.

Jenny  Manchester?

Peter  No, but not far away: Liverpool.

Jenny  Is it a tragedy or a comedy? 

Peter  It’s a comedy. But it says a lot about the British and university life. So I thought it would be just the book for you.
