Daming: I have a question. What does “spring” mean?
Ms James: Spring? Spring is a season. It comes after winter and before summer. Try to remember our famous Spring Festival, Daming.
Daming: Oh, I understand.

Ms James: Lingling, your grammar isn’t correct. You made a mistake. It’s not “Yesterday I go to the cinema” but “Yesterday I…” .
Lingling: Went.
Ms James: Good. “Today I have an English lesson. Yesterday I…”
Lingling: Had.

Daming: How do you spell “cinema” ? I know how to pronounce it, but does it begin with “s” or “c” ?
Ms James: What do you think? How do you check the spelling of a word, Daming?
Daming: Well, I usually look it up in the dictionary. But this one is difficult because I don’t know the first letter!
