Activity 3 Listen and read. 听一听，读一读。

Dad: Tony,you're playing the guitar again. Have you done your homework?

爸爸：托尼，你又在弹吉他。你做家庭作业了吗？

Tony:No, not yet, but I haven't got much. If I start after dinner, I'll finish it before I go to bed. Anyway, you wanted me to learn an instrument.

托尼：没，还没有，但作业不多。如果我晚饭后开始，我会在上床睡觉前把它做完。而且，您不是想让我学习一门乐器嘛。

Dad:I want you to get into the habit of doing your homework as soon as you come home from school. If you start now,you'll finish it before dinner.

爸爸：我想让你养成一放学回家就做家庭作业的习惯。如果你现在开始，你会在晚饭前完成它。

Tony:Yes, but I need a rest from schoolwork. I also want to go to the library to do volunteer work.

托尼：是的，但是我需要从功课中解脱出来，休息一会儿。我还想去图书馆做志愿者工作。

Dad:So you're not going to do your homework now?

爸爸：那么，你现在是不打算做你的家庭作业了？

Tony:No,it isn't necessary to do it now. I'll do it later.

托尼：不做，没有必要现在就做。我等一会儿再做。

Dad:That's a shame. I really don't think you should go to the library so much.

爸爸：真遗憾。我真的认为你不应该去图书馆那么多。

Tony:Why not? I can work in the library and I'm also able to read books there.

托尼：为什么不呢？我可以在图书馆干活，而且也能在那里读书。

Dad:No deal, Tony. If you do ali these other things instead of your homework, you won't have time to study.

爸爸：托尼，这不行。如果你去做所有这些其他的事情而不是你的家庭作业，你将没有时间去学习。

Tony:You mean you don't want me to help the community and increase my knowledge of the world?

托尼：您的意思是您不想让我去帮助社区，增加我对世界的认识？

Dad:That's not the Point. You should consider what the most important thing is. I don't want you to fail your exams.

爸爸：那不是我想说的（我不是那个意思）。你应该考虑最重要的事情是什么。我不想你考试不及格。

Tony: But...

托尼：但是……

Dad: You can't do anything before you finish your homework. I'm sorry, but that's my last word.

爸爸：在你完成家庭作业之前你不能做任何事情。我很抱歉，但那是我的最终决定。
