Gao Xing: There is a Beijing Opera show tonight. Let’s go and watch it together, shall we?
Wang Hong: I’m afraid that I don’t understand it.
Gao Xing: It doesn’t matter. It’s an acrobatic (杂技的) fighting drama. Even if you don’t understand the words, you can understand it just by watching the action.
Wang Hong: Who are the actors?
Gao Xing: I can’t recall their names, but according to the newspaper, they are all very famous.
Wang Hong: Can you get the tickets?
Gao Xing: No problem, I can get them.
Wang Hong: Front row (一排) seats would be best. I have poor eyesight: I won’t be able to see clearly if I sit at the back.
Gao Xing: Don’t worry about it.
Wang Hong: All right then. When do we leave?
Gao Xing: The Opera begins at seven p.m. Let’s leave at a quarter past six.
Wang Hong: Can we make it there in half an hour?
Gao Xing: Sure. Let’s go by taxi. We’ll get there in a quarter of an hour if there are no traffic jams.
