Clerk: Good afternoon, Ma'am. What can I do for you?

Shirley: Good afternoon. My son's sight seems to have deteriorated these days. What should I do?

Clerk: Do you know the cause? Is it because of eyestrain? You know kids have a lot of stuff to study these days. Some teachers even ask little children to read Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Shirley: I don't think it's studying. My son is constantly playing video and computer games. He is a bit rebellious.

Clerk: It's just the little boy's nature. Don't worry about it. Let's have his eyes tested first.

Shirley: Where can I get that done?

Clerk: Go to the second floor and it's the third room on the left. Go there and you can get everything done.

Shirley: Got it. Thank you. See you later.

(Shirley walks downstairs after the eye examination.)

Clerk: How is it going? What did the report say?

Shirley: It says that it's just pseudomyopia, so my son's sight can be corrected.

Clerk: Good for him. But still, don't forget to take some preventive measures.

Shirley: Thanks. I will. I shouldn't just leave him to himself. And I should limit his hours for video and computer games.

Clerk: Yeah. Studying for a long time can also cause eyestrain. Make him do some eye exercises after studying, which would be really good for his sight.

Shirley: Good idea. Do you have any other suggestions?

Clerk: We have a variety of eye drops for tired eyes. Would you like one?

Shirley: Sure, I'd like one for children. Is this one OK?

Clerk: Yeah, you just picked up the one I was going to recommend. Good choice! Here is a free eye chart for you, so you can have regular eye examinations at home.

店員: 下午好，女士。有什麼能爲您效勞呢？

雪莉: 下午好。我兒子的視力最近好像下降了。我該怎麼辦？

店員: 您知道原因嗎？是因爲用眼疲勞嗎？您知道現在的孩子們要學習很多的東西。有的老師甚至叫小孩子去讀《三國演義》。

雪莉: 我覺得不是因爲學習。我兒子經常玩電動遊戲和電腦遊戲。他有點叛逆。

店員: 這是男孩子的天性。別擔心。我們先給他做個視力檢查吧。

雪莉: 去哪裏做呢？

店員: 上二樓，左邊第三個房間就是。您去那裏就可以了。

雪莉: 知道了。謝謝你。待會兒見。

（視力檢查完後，雪莉下樓來。）

店員: 怎麼樣？報告結果怎麼說？

雪莉: 報告說只是假性近視，所以我兒子的視力可以被矯正。

店員: 真替他高興。不過，別忘了採取一些保護措施啊。

雪莉: 謝謝。我會的。我不該再由着他了。我要限制他玩電動遊戲和電腦遊戲的時間。

店員: 是啊。長時間的學習也很容易引起眼睛疲勞。讓他在學習完之後，做一下眼保健操，這對他的視力很有好處。

雪莉: 好主意。您還有別的建議嗎？

店員: 我們這裏有很多保護眼睛疲勞的眼藥水。你想來一盒嗎？

雪莉: 行啊。要一盒兒童專用的。這盒可以嗎？

店員: 可以，您挑中了我剛好想要推薦的一款。不錯的選擇！這張免費的視力表給您，這樣您在家也可以自己做視力檢查了。

經典背誦 Recitation
Shirley: I took my son Daniel to a glass store for eye examination today. I told the clerk that Daniel's sight seemed to deteriorate these days, for he had played a lot of video games and computer games. She told me where I could get my son's eye tested. Luckily, it was just a pseudomyopia, so my son's visual acuity could be corrected. But still I thought I would have to pay more attention to Daniel's eyes protection.
