　　Section B

　　Long Conversation 1

　　M: I bet youre looking forward to the end of this month. Are you?

　　W: Yes, I am. How did you know?

　　M: David told me you had a special birthday coming up.

　　W: Oh…yeah thats right. This year will be my golden birthday.

　　M: What does that mean? Ive never heard of a golden birthday.

　　W: Ive actually just learnt this concept myself. Fortunately, just in time to celebrate. A golden or lucky birthday is when one turns the age of their birth date. So, for example, my sisters birthday is December 9th and her golden birthday would have been the year she turned nine years old. Come to think of it, my parents did throw her a surprise party that year.

　　M: Interesting. Too bad I missed mine. My golden birthday wouldve been four years ago. I assume you got big plans then.

　　W: Actually yes. My husband is planning a surprise holiday for the two of us next week. I have no idea what hes got in mind, but Im excited to find out. Has he mentioned anything to you?

　　M: He might have.

　　W: Anything youd like to share? Im dying to know what kind of trip he has planned on where were going.

　　M: You know nothing at all?

　　W: Not a clue. Hard to imagine, isn’t it? Though I must say I think hes been having even more fun keeping the secret from me in the past few weeks.

　　M: Im sure both of you will have a fantastic time. Happy golden birthday! I cant wait to hear all about it when you get back.
