A: Hi! Jane!
B: Hello, Henry. Why are you so upset?
A: I can't believe my English teacher is making me read Pride and Prejudice!
B: Why not! It's a classic; in fact, it's one of my favorite novels.
A: But it's so old.
B: Don't judge a book by its cover. Do you know what it's about?
A: No, not at all.
B: First of all, it's a romance novel, set in the early 19th century.
A: I didn't realize it was a romance novel. What's the main storyline?
B: It's basically about a father who tried to marry off one of his five girls.
A: Why does he want to do that?
B: Since he doesn't have a son, he hopes that one of the girls will marry a wealthy man. That way, all of his daughters will be cared for.
A: Won't they get his inheritance?
B: No, that's the problem. Though they are well-off, once he dies, his house will go to his cousin. So, when he dies, the girls will have nothing.
A: I see. This sounds interesting! Maybe my teacher isn't so horrible after all.
B: So, are you going to read the novel or watch the movie?
A: There's movie? My teacher didn't tell me that!
B: That's probably because she wants you to read the book first.
A: It would take a lot less time...
B: How about this? When you finish the book, I'1i get the movie and watch it with you.
A: That sounds like a deal.
