主題對話： Twisting1 Up Your Tongue2

Jenny: Argh! This is the hardest English homework ever!

Billy: What do you have to do that is so hard?

Jenny: My teacher says we are supposed3 to read a tongue twister in class tomorrow.

Billy: What's a tongue twister? Is that some kind of dance move4?

Jenny: No, silly5. A tongue twister is a kind of sentence6 that is really hard to say. Even the best English speakers have trouble saying tongue twisters.

Billy: My pronunciation7 is not bad. Could you teach me one, please?

Jenny: Okay, you asked for it. Try to say, "She sells seashells8 by the seashore9."

Billy: That sounds hard, but I'll try it. I do have one question first, though.

Jenny: What's that?

Billy: If she sells seashells by the seashore, are the seashells she sells seashore seashells?

Jenny: I quit10!
