M: Oh, hello, Nancy Wang. Come in, and how have you been keeping recently?
W: Quite all right, thanks, Dr. Francis. How is your project going?
M: Very smoothly, I should say. I''m playing a consultancy role, really. I''ve only been here in China for a month, but I''m already on very good terms with my colleagues in the Department of Computer Science. Well, I''m happy that you could come. Do sit down, please.
W: Dr. Francis, do you know I''ve got a chance to go to Cambridge in August? I wonder if you could tell me something about Britain.
M: Certainly. Well, I was actually brought up in Scotland. Er, in fact, I''ve never been to Cambridge. But I will,… yes, I''m sure I can give some useful tips. Now, what do you want to know, Nancy?
W: Things like the weather, foods and customs, etc. Now what''s the usual temperature there?
M: Mm, the temperature in Scotland is 22, or 23 degrees Centigrade, on average, I think. But Cambridge would be warmer, around 25, I would guess, because it''s down south.
W: Oh, that''s nice. Do you like it is 34 here? Last year it reached 39. By the way, where do you think I should stay?
M: I suppose you can stay in the college-owned flats, which are often near where you have your classes, and some are even on the campus. That would certainly be convenient.
W: I see. Thank you, Dr. Francis.
