Step 6. Dialogue Practice

　　Practice 1.

While I was there, I read Zhou Lan’s copy of China Daily and got to know that there would be some performances on this weekend. A pop group named “Red Roses” will give s performance at the People’s Theatre. It’s said that they are very good, so I decided to go to it. I asked Zhou Lan if she would be free this weekend. She said yes and would like to go with me. Before parting each other, we fixed a time to meet at the theatre.
