[00:12.72]Hi,Cathy.What are you up to this weekend?
[00:16.72]Don't ask,Tom.I have lots of work to do.
[00:20.17]If I don't finish my project on the history
[00:22.44]of the Internet for next Monday's lesson,
[00:25.09]the science teacher will be angry.
[00:27.64]What about you?
[00:28.92]Do you have anything planned for
[00:30.18]Saturday and Sunday?
[00:32.72]It depends on the weather.
[00:34.79]If it's good,Dad,Mum and I will probably
[00:36.96]go camping.
[00:38.59]But we won't go if it rains.
[00:41.16]Hey,if I stay home,I'll help you with
[00:42.98]your project if you like.
[00:44.37]Thanks for the offers.
[00:46.33]Tom,can you suggest any good books
[00:47.96]for my project?
[00:49.56]If you tell me some titles,
[00:50.85]I'll look for them in the library.
[00:53.41]Use the library computer.
[00:55.62]If you go to the Science Museum website,
[00:57.68]you'll find lots of good information.
[01:00.34]I'll send you the website address
[01:01.64]when I get home.
[01:02.88]Thanks.Just think,if we had virtual reality
[01:06.85]holidays,we wouldn't have any problems
[01:08.92]with the weather.
[01:10.43]What's more,
[01:11.42]we wouldn't have to spend a long time
