Lesson 1  A private conversation  私人谈话
First listen and then answer the question.  听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Why did the writer complain to the people behind him?
Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. ‘I can’t hear a word!’ I said angrily.
    ‘It’s none of your business,’ the young man said rudely. ‘This is a private conversation!’

去怒视着那一男一女，他们却毫不理会。最后，我忍不住了，又一次回过头去，生气地说：“我一个字也听不到了！”
    “不关你的事，”那男的毫不客气地说，“这是私人间的谈话！”

Word order in simple statements  简单陈述句的语序
a    A statement tells us about something. All the sentences in the passage are statements. Each of these statements    contains one idea. Each statement tells us about one thing. A statement that tells us about one thing is a simple    statement.
    陈述句用来叙述一件事情。本段课文中的所有句子都是陈述句。每个句子包含着一个概念，告诉我们一件事    情。凡是叙述一件事情的陈述句都是简单陈述句。
b    The order of the words in a statement is very important. Look at these two statements. They both contain the words    but they do not mean the same thing:
