David: Where did you go today? I called your cell phone but you didn't answer.
Mary: Sorry, my cell phone is out of charge. I went to the library. I read all morning long.
David: You're quite the diligent one.
Mary: We're having exams soon, and since my basics aren't that great, the only thing I can do is to study hard. Was there something ( you were calling me about)?
David: We've going on break soon, and we're planning to go traveling (during the vacation period). Would you like to come with us?
Mary: Where do you guys plan to go?
David: We haven't decided yet, perhaps the Northeast of China.
Mary: Around when will you be leaving (for the trip)?
David: Maybe next weekend.
Mary: OK, I'll think about it.

Mary: Zhongcun, what are you doing (now)?
Zhongcun: I'm writing postcards to my friends. Christmas is almost here, and New Year's coming too, so I have to send out greeting cards to my friends.
Mary: You've written that many!
Zhongcun: I can't help it. I've got (too) many relatives and friends. I've been writing fora whole hour!
Mary : There are a lot of people at the post office right now. You should go after a little while to mail them.
Zhongcun: Really? How do you know? Mary: I just now went to the post office to buy some stamps, and I waited in line for almost half an hour.
Zhongcun: Okay then, I'll go a little later.
