情景对话:
A: Here we are, Room 312.
B: Wow, the booth is so beautiful and comfortable.
A: Yes. And the audio equipment is also excellent. This is the best KTV in this area.
B: Can we afford to sing here?
A: Don't worry. Bob and Jack will come here a little later and treat us.
B: Bob?! Is he coming here?! That's great! He's got a good voice. Last time we sang karaoke together, he knocked everybody dead with his best song You Raise Me Up.
A: Really?! How about Jack?
B: Oh, I don't want to talk about him. Well... you know...
he's the one who won't let anyone else sing. He alway shogs the mic and his singing is often out of tune.
A: So terrible! Come on. Let's pick some songs to sing before they arrive here.
B: OK. What kind of songs do you like to sing first?
A: Popular songs, of course. Put on some by Spice Girls.
B:All right... Spice Girls... let me see...
A: Well, while you're picking songs I'll order something to eat. What do you like?
B: Some popcorn, fruit and beer.
A: OK.
