Daniel:Mom, hurry up or there will be no seats available for us.
Shirley:Don't worry, there will be a lot. There will be enough seats for another ten Daniels.
Daniel:I'll take the one beside the driver. There will be a good view there. Wow, how comfortable the seats are. Your company is so great.
Shirley:Daniel, you can't sit there. Because that one is for the coach. OK, let's sit over here.
(The coach gets on the bus.)
Coach:Is everybody board here? OK, please listen to me. First, all of us must follow the rules. There will be a lot of activities for us, so please never and ever leave the group.
(Daniel turns to his Mom.)
Daniel:Mom, the coach is so strict, I'm afraid I'll never have the fun I want.
Shirley:Honey, you're wrong. If everybody has the same idea as you, a team will not be called a team.
Daniel:Maybe, but anyway, we'll have a lot of fun. Right?
Shirley:Not really, honey. This journey is not all for fun. The most important thing is that we should learn much from it for self-improvement.?
Daniel:What's all that about?
Shirley:It's about for enhancing the degree of belief, taking responsibility and things like that.
Daniel:Oh, I see, that is also to say “teaching goes together with pleasure”.
(One hour later they arrive at their destination.)
Coach:Now, everybody attention please. The first activity we'll do is to make chocolate by yourself.
Daniel:How great! I always eat chocolate but I never know how to make it.
Shirley:And you'll have a taste of the chocolate made by yourself.
Daniel:Yeah, I can design varied tastes of chocolate and also I can put any picture I like on the chocolates.
聽看學
丹尼爾:媽媽，快點，否則我們就沒有座位了。
雪莉:彆着急，會有很多的。再來十個丹尼爾都會沒有問題。
丹尼爾:我做司機旁邊這個位置。這裏視野會不錯。哇，這個位置好舒服。媽媽的公司真好。
雪莉:丹尼爾，你不能坐那。因爲那是給教練的。我們坐這吧。
（教練上車了。）
教練:大家都上車了嗎？好的，請聽我說。首先，大家都應該遵守紀律。我們會有很多活動。所以請大家決不要離開隊伍。
（丹尼爾跟媽媽說話。）
丹尼爾:媽媽，教練好嚴厲呀，我想恐怕我不會玩得盡興的。
雪莉:孩子，你錯了。如果每一個人像你一樣想，團隊就不叫團隊了。
丹尼爾:可能吧，但是無論如何，我們會玩得很高興，對不對？
雪莉:也不盡是。這次旅遊並不純粹爲了玩，更重要的是爲了學東西提高自己。
丹尼爾:是關於什麼的呀？
雪莉:是關於提高信任度，責任感等類似的事情。
丹尼爾:哦，我知道了。也就是說“寓教於樂”。
（一個小時後，他們到達了目的地。）
教練:現在，每個人注意了。我們要做的第一個運動時自己親手製作巧克力。
丹尼爾:好棒，我經常吃巧克力，但是我從來不知道怎麼做。
雪莉:你將嚐到自己親手做的巧克力。
丹尼爾:好的，我能設計各種口味的巧克力，還可以放上我喜歡的各種圖案。
