英語口語大贏家Topic20:路牌廣告Advertisements
在出租車停靠的站點處，媽媽發現廣告牌上貼着一張鋼琴輔導班的廣告宣傳，隨即抄下了相關內容。丹尼爾在一旁露出了不悅的神情，這是爲什麼呢？

(Daniel speaks to himself.)
Daniel: That's great! We made 20 minutes earlier.
Mom: Good thing, we took a taxi.
Daniel: Mom, you are the best!
Mom: Hey, look there. It is an advertisement of the piano training class on the billboard. The place is not far from our home.
Daniel: Mom, come on. What are you thinking about?
Mom: Your sister is in high school now; no one plays the piano at home.
Daniel: Don't tell me you want me to do that?
Mom: Why? Why not! The piano is right there.
Daniel: But I don't like playing the piano. And the homework keeps me busy enough.
Mom: Anyway, I will have a look at the piano class after work by myself.
Daniel: How depressed!
聽看學（丹尼爾自言自語。）
丹尼爾：太好了！我們早到了20分鐘。
媽媽：是啊，幸好我們搭了出租車。
丹尼爾：媽媽，你最棒了！
媽媽：喂，看那裏。廣告牌上有個鋼琴培訓班的廣告。那個地方離我們家不遠。
丹尼爾：媽媽，求你了。你又在想什麼呢？
媽媽：你姐姐現在讀高中了，家裏的鋼琴沒人彈了。
丹尼爾：不要告訴我你想讓我彈。
媽媽：爲什麼不呢？鋼琴就擺在那裏呢。
丹尼爾：但是我不喜歡彈鋼琴。並且家庭作業已經夠我忙了。
媽媽：不管怎樣，下班後，我會自己先去看一下那個鋼琴培訓班。
丹尼爾：真鬱悶。
