Lesson 20 Homework and courses

小明：噢，放学喽，回家喽。今天真是黑色星期一啊！

兰兰：黑色星期一？为什么啊？

麦克：兰兰，你可不知道，我们早上睡过头，上学迟到了。

小明：还有呢，上课没带书！

兰兰：你们呀！ 哎，小明，你们今天有体育课吗？

小明：有啊，有两节体育课。你怎么知道？

兰兰：看你身上这么脏，我就知道有体育课。

麦克：兰兰，我特别喜欢上体育课。你呢？你喜欢上什么课？

兰兰：我嘛，我喜欢上语文课，不喜欢上数学课。

小明：切，我看你什么课都喜欢，你每科成绩都那么好。

兰兰：哎呀，好啦，好啦。麦克，今天你们老师留作业了吗？

麦克：当然了，每科都留了。黑色星期一还没有完。

兰兰：那你们去我家写作业吧？

麦克：好啊好啊！小明你呢？

小明：啊，写作业！麦克，你去吧，我有事。

兰兰：你有事？有什么事？

小明：我……他们叫我呢！嘿，哥们儿，加我一个。

Xiao Ming：Oh，school's out，going home. Today was truly a black Monday!

Lan Lan：Black Monday? Why?

Mike：You don't know, Lan Lan，we overslept this morning and were late for school.

Xiao Ming：What's more，we went to class without books!

Lan Lan：You guys! Hey，Xiao Ming，did you have sports class today?

Xiao Ming：Yes，two periods of sports class. How do you know?

Lan Lan：Look how dirty you are，I knew you must have had sports class.

Mike：Lan Lan，I especially love sports class. And you? What subject do you like?

Xiao Ming： Huh，I think you must like all subjects, you've got good grades in everything.

Lan Lan：Oh, alright, alright. Mike did your teacher leave homework today?

Mike：Of course，for every subject. Black Monday isn't over yet.
